Chapter 282

Jessica picked up her coffee and took a sip.

She didn’t say she suspected Natalie was interested in Chris and deliberately wanted to go to the Summit Infirmary. She only mentioned that she had seen Natalie during the rescue near Montvue Tower last time, and that since Felix had invited Chris to dinner, it would be a good chance to investigate.

Shannon understood. Whenever it involved Chris, Jessica would definitely look into it.

“Okay, got it. I’ll go right away.”

Inside the Summit Infirmary, Ashley also talked to Chris about the Lawson family.

“You’re a medical student, and you haven’t even heard of the Lawson family?” Ashley found it strange.

Seeing Jake and Ashley both giving him strange looks, Chris nodded and said, “Never heard of them.”

Ashley and Jake exchanged a glance. It seemed even Jake knew about them.

“I hadn’t graduated yet when the Lawson family sent me an internship invitation. I was going to go, but after thinking it over, the training team there wasn’t as good as the Summit Infirmary’s, so I came here instead. But many of my classmates went to the Lawson family’s hospital.”

The Lawson family took a wide-net approach to medical students. Students ranked high in medical schools would receive internship offers from the Lawson family. Whether graduates could stay with the Lawson family after graduation depended on their abilities. Their approach and generous salary packages had attracted many medical students.

“So I’m really surprised that you haven’t heard of the Lawson family,” said Ashley.

He himself had received an invitation back then, but Jessica had contacted him even before that. In terms of benefits, the Lawson family could afford to pay well, and naturally the Wilder Group could too. Moreover, Jessica, in order to recruit Ashley to work for her, offered even more than Felix.

Now, Ashley wouldn’t change his stance just for a little better pay, but it had to be said the Lawson family was generous with their money.

“Spending money is one thing; whether the people they recruit can hold their own is another. The Lawson family’s hospital doesn’t have as many talents as us. Compared to our hospital, the gap is quite big.”

This explained why Felix wanted to meet with Chris. Even if it wasn’t for Natalie, simply making friends with Chris couldn’t hurt.

“You should go. Felix’s a good person. When he sent me the internship invitation, it was his secretary, and they weren’t at all arrogant toward students, quite approachable. Francesca also said Felix has a good reputation in the industry.”

Chris wasn’t worried about that. He was thinking about how to refuse if Felix brought up Natalie’s internship. To make friends, you couldn’t be too blunt, but he also couldn’t leave any room for Natalie. A doctor like her recruited to the Summit Infirmary wouldn’t even last until the company was listed before getting complaints. Maybe because of her status and background, Natalie didn’t have the humility expected of a doctor. Instead, she always held her head high, lacking the compassion patients deserved. Chris simply felt Natalie was completely unfit to be a doctor.

Seeing Chris remain silent, Ashley said no more.

The results of Shannon’s investigation were about the same—the lowest scores in medical school, probably bought by the Lawson family’s money. Even if she barely graduated, she could only work at the Lawson family’s hospital. And with Natalie’s ability, it was uncertain when she could become an attending doctor.

After the report, Jessica was silent for a long time, quietly looking at the documents in her hand. Shannon pulled out a chair opposite her and sat down.

“What’s wrong? There’s no need for us to worry about the future of someone like her. Felix will surely arrange everything for her.”

“Natalie’s parents?”

“Felix is Natalie’s uncle, the younger brother of Natalie’s biological mother. Natalie’s parents were… kidnapped and killed several years ago."
