Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Ruben thought , ' So Shermaine's actually Danielle's junior ? That's insane . With someone as young and brilliant as Danielle , Yaleview Hospital already made a name for itself . Now with an even younger , more gifted one joining the picture , we'll leave every other hospital in the dust ! His gaze shifted to Shermaine , and he stepped forward . " Dr. Shue , you're seriously impressive for someone so young . Mind if I ask which hospital you're currently working at ? " Skermaine replied , " I'm not working at a hospital ." Ruben's eyes lit up . " Then how about joining ours ? You and Dr. Shelly could make a great team . " Shermaine turned him down with a smile . " Sorry to disappoint you , but that's not the path I'm looking for ." If she worked at a hospital full - time , she'd be swamped with patients and nonstop surgeries . She preferred working independently - when someone came to her for help , she'd step in . She offered , " If your hospital ever runs into a case no one can handle , whether it's surgical or something that involves traditional medicine , feel free to reach out . " " Understood . " Ruben didn't press further . Clearly , Shermaine wasn't aiming for a career at a hospital . But thankfully , that didn't mean she wasn't practicing . It just meant being a doctor might only be her side gig . If she was willing to take on cases under their hospital's name - the tough ones they couldn't solve themselves - the hospital would still get to share the credit . It wouldn't be without its perks . Ruben thought about it and found it hard to believe that being a doctor was just a side gig for Shermaine . To become a doctor was no easy feat . It took so much effort and dedication , yet Shermaine treated it like a side job . After the conversation , Shermaine asked , " What time is it now ? " Cora took out her phone and checked the time . " It's almost twelve o'clock . " Shermaine thought , ' Almost twelve , huh ? Surgery always takes forever . If Mr. Owen York tried to check in , Joshua must've handled it on his own . " Just as Shermaine had guessed , Owen really did call Joshua around 9:30 to check in . The moment Owen got on the line , he asked to speak with Shermaine . He had Shermaine's number , but he still called Joshua instead . Joshua had no choice but to tell the truth , saying , " She went out . " " Out for what ? " Owen asked . " I didn't ask , " Joshua replied . Owen snapped as soon as he heard that , " You don't even know what your fiancée went out to do ? Why didn't you ask ? " Joshua went silent for a second . " I forgot ." Owen was fuming . " Listen up , Joshua . Like Shermaine . I'm really happy with her as my future granddaughter - in - law . If you lose her , I swear I'll teach you a lesson . " Joshua rubbed his temple . " Grandpa , you've gotta give me a little time to adjust . Didn't do well enough during the day ? " " Barely . Now call Shermaine and ask when she's coming back . " " Got it . " 1/2 20.38 Fri 30 May Chapter 15 After hanging up , Joshua did call Shermaine but she was still in the OR and couldn't possibly answer , in the end , out of a sace it takes al 2 look up her location . When he found out she was at the hospital , and not off somewhere sketchy , Joshua let it go . Then he gave Owen a simple report and left it at the It was already late at night when Shermaine said , " It's getting late . I'm heading out . " Then she turned to Danielle . " Let's meet again when you've go time . " Danielle nodded . " I'll treat you to dinner and a movie sometime . " Shermaine remarked , " Everyone , if you'll excuse me . " With that , she left - just as quickly as she had arrived . But at Yaleview Hospital , Shermaine's name had already made waves . There wasn't a single doctor or nurse who didn't know that Danielle had a junior who was even more skilled than her - and rumor had it , she was stunning , too . By the time Shermaine got back to Riverswood Villa - Joshua's place it was already half past midnight . The lights on the second floor were still on , which meant Joshua hadn't gone to bed yet. She had already registered her fingerprint with the system , so all it took was a scan , and she was in . Still , she couldn't help feeling a little out of place . She hadn't gotten used to living at the Jean residence even after three months , and now she was staying in the home of a man she'd only met a handful of times . Shermaine thought , ' Life really is strange . ' She let the thought pass , then went straight upstairs and into her room . Then , a message came in on her phone . It was a payment notification from Cora - three hundred thousand dollars , transferred in full . With the two bank cards Jameson had given her earlier today , which together held two million , that brought her total to 2.3 million dollars . To build a high - tech farm , 2.3 million dollars wasn't even enough to make a dent .
