“I understand the situation, Waylon said, “but it’s been so many years. If you want to open a joint investigation, you’ll need solid evidence Otherwise, I can’t establish a task force.”
Sammmmy had already gathered a lot of information, not just on Chase’s case but also on Wendy’s
father’s case.
Waylon and his colleague took the documents and flipped through them for a long time. Finally, Waylon looked up at Wendy “You’ve dug up quite a lot. Your evidence matches what we have on our side. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll never lose. As for my relationship with Henry, let’s not even get into that. Quim Group and Harrison family have been rivals for years.. It I hadn’t kept some things in my pocket, the Harrison family would’ve chewed me up and spit out my bones a long time ago”
Waylon handed the files back to his subordinate and waved them out of the room.
“I don’t know about others, but you you’re definitely not simple. Lemon said she admires you a
Wendy smiled and took a sip of coffee. Lemon’s word carries a lot of weight in the Fred family Ton. Your and Lemon have supported each other to get where you are today. I know a lot of the Fred family’s branches have tried to trip you up. Now that we’re allies, we should help each other”
“What do you want to do?”
“It’s time to put some pressure on the people behind the scenes”
The meeting lasted more than an hour. After Waylon and his people left, Wendy insisted Chase stay and work overtime with her. She wouldn’t let him go home alone.
Wendy knew Chaise still carried a lot of pain. She didn’t want him to face it by himself.
“Cloud Hospital’s leadership is about to have an opening. I want you to fill it,” Wendy said.
At lunch, Sammy had ordered private catering to the president’s office. Chase and Wendy sat across from each other. Hearing her words, Chase choked on his food. Wendy quickly set down her utensils and patted his back.
Seeing Chase’s face turn red, Wendy laughed. “Come on, it’s not that big a deal. You’re scared over something this small?”
Chase drank some water. “It’s just… I’m just a doctor. Shouldn’t the council appoint someone.
from their side?”
Wendy raised an eyebrow. Tm the major investor. I control the council. If I say who fills the spot, that’s who it is. Honestly, I have my reasons for choosing you. Eric Hospital’s headquarters in the country is hidden among various hospitals. I want you to help me keep an eye on things.”

cause suspicion.
Lanckily, after Chase’s divorce, he started working at the hospital. With him, Wendy could invest discreetly, using Chase’s name to slowly get a foothold.
If Chase held a high position in the medical field, he could help a lot.
Hearing that he could help, Chase was less resistant,
“But I still want to work on the frontlines,” he said.
Wendy smiled. “Easy. The council opening is for an honorary chairperson. It’s just a title. You can still treat patients as usual”
It was a perfect solution. Chase agreed to do whatever Wendy arranged.
“Actually, more importantly,” Wendy said, squeezing his hand, “with you as chairperson, I can see. you whenever I want. If the council calls a meeting, even if you don’t want to come, you’ll have
to.”
“Don’t mess around, Chase said, half amused.
Talking about the hospital reminded him Henry’s daughter Joy was still hospitalized. Chase hadn’t gone to work the past few days, so he didn’t know her current condition.
Originally, after Wendy left the hospital that day, she said she would visit Joy. But with everything at the company, she hadn’t had time.
“I almost forgot,” Wendy said, wiping her mouth. She called Sammy in. “Go check on Joy’s condition. It she needs anything, send it over. Also, tell the council we found our honorary chairperson. Submit Chase’s name for review.”
Sammy glanced at Chase.
“Yes, Madam Wendy.”
This clearly showed that Wendy and Chase no longer had secrets between them. Wendy wasn’t just protecting him anymore. She was pulling him into the game with her.
With husband and wife working together, things would be a lot easier.
News of Chase becoming honorary chairperson spread quickly at Cloud Hospital. Most people recognized his ability. Of course, there were a few jealous voices, claiming Chase only got the position because of his looks or connections.
Chase ignored all that.
When his mentor heard he had accepted the chairperson position, he called Chase in to talk.
“Chase, didn’t you plan to study abroad? Taking the chairperson title means you won’t be able to

Chase nodded. “Thank you for always supporting me. I still have a lot to learn and will study abroad when the time is right. But for now, I want to help my wife.”
Everyone in upper management knew about Chase and Wendy’s relationship. His mentor wasn’t surprised.
Looking at Chase’s expression, his mentor sighed. “As long as you’re clear about what you’re doing. Marriage needs compromise. You seem much more energetic than before. Looks like you’ve found the right balance. I won’t say more. Just handle your work and family well.”
