Kendra said, “I assyou're Mrs. Goodwin. It waswho saved your son. Don’t worry. Mr. Goodwin is fine
now.”
Kendra’s lack of shsurprised everyone, but they were afraid to speak up as she was the chief physician.
Grace simply watched Kendra make a fool of herself in amusement.
Victor hurriedly arrived and dispersed the crowd. “Get back to your work. Don’t gather here.”
Victor harshly questioned Kendra, “You said you saved Mr. Goodwin?”
Under Victor's stern gaze, Kendra said, “Yes, | did. I'm not sure why Grace feels the need to take credit, but I'm
cool with her claiming to be the Goodwin family’s savior.”.
Grace didn’t want to argue with her in the hospital, so she spoke coldly, “It doesn’t matter who did. Hospitals are
for curing diseases and saving lives, not for taking credit for these actions.”
Kendra clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, barely able to maintain a smile on her face.
Ruth saw through it and then said with a smile, “Dr. Parrish is right. We don’t mean anything else.”
Kendra looked unwilling; she wanted to speak up but didn’t know what to
say.
“Is this renowned cardiac disease specialist Dr. Grace Parrish? It's very difficult to get a consultation with you as
a globally recognized surgical

Grace nodded at the speaker, not surprised to be recognized.
With great excitement, this person stepped forward and said, “Dr. Parrish. would you please check on my father’s
condition? Please.” Out of
obligation. Grace consented.
Just as they were leaving, someone looked up information about Grace on their phone and exclaimed. “I just
checked it.
“Dr. Parrish is truly remarkable. She deserves to be the chief physician at our hospital.”
Someone else said. “I suddenly remembered that Dr. Parrish used to work at our hospital. She was supposed to
be elected chief physician back then, but Kendra ultimately assumed the position.”
“Keep your voice down. Given her abilities, | don’t think Dr. Parrish would claim credit for something she didn’t
do.”
As Kendra heard these words, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
“Don’t even think about provoking Dr. Parrish. Remember how you got your position as the chief physician!”
Victor said, who had long been. unhappy with Kendra’s position as chief physician.
Kendra sneered inwardly, “I can’t afford to mess with her? | could drive her away again just like | did before.” She
asked, “What's in it for you to defend Grace like that?”
Victor said coldly with sharp eyes, “The Parrish family runs this hospital. Why would you mess with the boss?”
Almost everyone was stunned by Victor's words.
They used to work with Grace for long, but they didn’t know she was a member of the Parrish family. Someone
exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! I've been on the wrong side. Will | get fired?”
too. It turns out Kendra has nothing!”
Kendra’s chest heaved violently in disbelief, but this was a fact she had to
face.
Victor left after saying that.
Antoand Omar cto the hospital again today and saw the whole incident. Omar began to have doubts for
the first tas he looked at Antoand said, “Something about Kendra seems off, Dad. | feel
uneasy.”
Antodid not respond, seemingly lost in thought with unreadable eyes.
When Kendra saw them, she immediately dismissed her previous thoughts. She was not afraid of the Parrish
family. They might have. intimidated her in the past, but now the Parrish family was nothing compared to the
Kaufman family.
Kendra immediately put on a smile and approached them happily. “Antonio, Omar, what are you doing here? Did
you cto see me?”
Antodid not answer, his gaze fixed on Grace.
With a forced smile, Kendra said aggrievedly, “Antonio, you have no idea how Grace has humiliatedjust now.
Does she still hold a grudge against me?”
Omar couldn't bear to see her sad, so he comforted her, “No, Kendra, it's
not like that. Dad and | cto look for Mom.”
Kendra’s face becgloomier. She clenched her fists until her nails dug into her palms to control herself.
“Go ahead if you're here to look for Grace. Don’t mind me.”

If it was before, Antowould coax her, but this tAntojust responded softly and left with Omar.

Kendra’s fingertips trembled, and her eyes were full of disbelief. After at while, she turned and left as if she had
made up her mind. “Grace, | will make you regret coming back.”
Grace had just stepped into the office when Antoand Omar followed
her in.
“Mom, | have something to tell you,” Omar spoke hesitantly.
Grace didn’t look at him but glared at Antonio. “What exactly do you want? Why do you keep pestering me?”
Antonio's eyes darkened, filled with restraint.
“I don’t mind who you were with overseas or that you have another child. But from today on, you can only be
with me.”
With a bang, Grace slapped him hard on the face. “What do you think | am to you?
nt to say much in front of the kid, but you've been pushing
drug you back then. It was a marriage between two families. | did. ning wrong to you in those six years! But you
kept cheating on me!
“Antonio, I've long given up on you and Omar. We've finished long ago!”
Antonio’s eyes seemed to be blazing with rage as he clutched her wrist. “So you heartlessly left Omar behind for
six years? Do you know how many people made fun of him for not having a mother? Have you ever carried out
your duties as his mother?”
