Chapter 144
“Josie, sweetheart?” Jeremy saw Josie looking around at the entrance of the hospital and strode over. “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
Josie shook her head. “It’s nothing. Perhaps I was mistaken. Jeremy, are you here to participate in the second consultation today?”
“Well, the patient’s condition is unusual, and surgical intervention is imperative. If traditional medicine can be integrated to alleviate his suffering, I do not mind making several additional visits.”
Jeremy walked ahead with his hands behind his back, while Josie jogged to catch up. The two walked side by side, heading inside as they talked about today’s consultation.
They were unaware that the entire scene had been captured by a camera positioned nearby.
Upon entering the meeting room, Delilah, Claire, and several others were already present. There was also one face that took Josie by surprise, Joseph.
Upon seeing her, Joseph raised his hand and said, “Professor Jeremy noted that while my clinical experience is limited, my theoretical knowledge is sufficiently comprehensive, so he invited me to join and listen as well.”
“See? I told you we’d be able to work together.” Josie turned to the side to take off her backpack and noticed that Sean had not yet arrived.
She glanced to her left and right.
“He is outside making a phone call. Go and call him. The meeting is about to begin.” Delilah pointed outside the corridor.
Josie stood up and walked out into the corridor.
As he approached, he heard Sean growling on the phone. “What do you mean? Are you suggesting that I sell all my companies in the country and go abroad with you? Have you considered that this is where the Reedshaw family’s roots are? With Grandmother and Aunt both present, the legacy of the Reedshaw family must not end with me. I will never comply with your wishes. Don’t even think about it.”
“Do not listen to what is improper.” Josie felt somewhat embarrassed and turned to leave, but was stopped by
Sean.
Sean raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, the phone call had not been disconnected…
Don’t bring this up again, or don’t blame me if I act like I don’t know you.
Only after finishing his sentence did he reel in the line.
Josie looked apologetic. “I am sorry. I did not mean to overhear your call. The teacher said the meeting is about to begin and asked me to come and get you.”
“There’s nothing I can’t say!” Sean let go of her hand. “It’s my father. He wants me to give up the Reedshaw
family and go abroad with him!”

Josie suddenly lifted her head.
She recalled that in her previous life, the Reedshawn Group was acquired by the Brown family.
Presumably at that time, Sean followed his father’s advice, sold the company, and went abroad.
“If he keeps making such requests of you, are you able to continue refusing?” Josie was somewhat nervous.
Sean shook his head. “I don’t know. I promised my grandfather that I would carry forward and develop the Reedshaw family’s medical tradition. If I fail to do so, perhaps I will…”
“No, you can do it! Sean, I will diligently study the Reedshaw family’s acupuncture techniques. I can carry forward the Reedshaw family’s medical legacy. I mean it. Please don’t give up so easily, okay?” Josie grabbed his hand anxiously.
Sean looked at her hands with pale fingertips tightly gripping his own wrist, and for no apparent reason, his heart softened. “I promised my grandfather that I would never give up unless absolutely necessary.”
He raised his hand and gently patted Josie on the head.
“Thank you. However, as a member of the Reedshaw family, it is my duty to carry forward our family’s medical tradition. I cannot let you take on this responsibility, unless…”
Josie looked up at him, unsure why he had suddenly fallen silent. ‘Unless what?‘
“It’s nothing!” Sean smiled and ruffled Josie’s hair. “Come on, let’s go inside.”
After finishing his remarks, he turned and entered the conference room.
Josie breathed a sigh of relief.
If Sean were to relinquish the Reedshaw family, the Brown family would become Aloville’s number one medical family. At that time, all resources of the Brown family would be at Natalie’s disposal.
Currently, although her departure had brought certain changes, she couldn’t alter Natalie, nor could she change Aiden and the others.
Based on her understanding of Natalie, she knows that Natalie will go to any length to secure her status and position, with Audrey working behind the scenes to make all this happen.
She wanted to stop Natalie. In addition to continuously making herself stronger, she must also have a team capable of rivaling Aiden and his peers. Everything from medical technology to the financial support behind it was indispensable.
