Chapter 46: One Would Be Punished If He or She Persuaded Others to Study Medicine

"Mom, I'm not capable enough." Jocelyn tried to explain. "What abilities does it need?" looking at Abner, Selena interrupted and said. "Abner, since you let Jocelyn work in the group, then she is also on the behalf of our Morrison family. It is not important whether she is capable or not, as long as her position is decent. Didn't you say that Jocelyn had a good relationship with Mrs. Ruskin? If Mrs. Ruskin knows that she is just an insignificant assistant, what will she treat our Morrison family?" Her words were utterly unconcerned about the occasion, which not only made her husband lose face but also involved the business affairs that the old master disliked most. When she said, Jocelyn was worried about her mother-in-law. She had been hated by the old master in Morrison family for so many years, but she still persistently tolerated that. It seemed that it was not because she was shameless but was stupid. The old master frowned and looked grim, even Abner looked extremely angry. "Mom, I know you're kind to me, but it is really unnecessary," Jocelyn said calmly in a low voice. "You also said that I am on the behalf of our Morrison family, and I still want to be promoted relying on my own ability. At that time, I will be in a higher position and others will naturally know that I am on the behalf of Morrison family. In this way, I can build my image in the company stably. Now although I am in a low position, but after all, no one knows me." Seeing that Selena seemed to disagree, Jocelyn hurriedly said again. "And if Dad really arranged for me to be a department manager, not to mention whether the people would follow my instructions or not, it would really make Morrison family lose face once I am not able to persist in working. I really don't think I have the ability to do that." After hearing this, Selena was stunned for a moment and did not know what to say. Abner, who was more reasonable, immediately followed Jocelyn's willingness and said. "Jocelyn has her own ideas, and we should respect her. Anyone's career is not accomplished overnight. Just let her have some practices. Recently, there is a jewelry design competition being held in Yanjing. Aren't you always interested in that? You can participate it together with the Morrison Group. When you get a place in the competition, nobody can complain anything about why you get a promotion." "Dad's thoughtful." Jocelyn nodded happily. The old master picked up his chopsticks again for dinner, and he looked much happier. Everyone was relieved. Except Arthur and Nicola whose moods couldn't be easily discovered, Jocelyn had understood all the people around the table and could easily control them. In fact, it was not difficult for her to live a good life in Morrison family. As long as she always obeyed one rule, that was to ensure she didn't make Morrison family lose face. Then the most authoritative old master of Morrison family, who occupied the dominant position in the family, would not have any opinions on you. After dinner, they just talked for a short time and returned to their own rooms. The old master was the first to return to his room for rest. As the father, Abner just symbolically asked about the situation of several younger persons. He asked Arthur about his body, asked Nicola about the industries he operated, and asked Julia whether she had restrained herself from eating, drinking and playing. Every time when he came back, he asked almost the same questions. After finishing, he just left. He didn't live in the house. Selena sent him out. Then the younger generation went back to their rooms. In the evening, Jocelyn was composing and designing in front of the computer. Under the dim light, her figure looked particularly soft. Arthur finished reading half of the book, looked up and just saw this scene. Beside the table which was at the corner of the window, Jocelyn was holding a drawing electronic pen in her hand with the end of the pen in her long hair. She seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, she figured it out and quickly drew a few strokes on the electronic screen. Today, at the dinner table, when Abner mentioned the jewelry design competition in Yanjing, Jocelyn had taken that seriously and she had heard the news earlier and planned to participate in it. But she hadn't decided whether she should participate in it in the name of the individual or the company. "Do you really want to design jewelry?" A cold voice came out behind her and made her regain her consciousness. "Yes." She turned around and looked at Arthur with a natural look, "Or, why do I go to work in Dad's company?" Arthur closed the book and said seriously. "I remember you have told me that designing jewelry is just your hobby. You studied medicine at first." He paused for a second, "Why did you study medicine since you liked jewelry design so much?" It was impossible that her mother's family would give her advice on what to study. After all, the members of Turner family seemed to be totally indifferent to her, so they wouldn't care about that. Faced with Arthur's query, Jocelyn was still calm. She meditated for a moment, and decided to say something that would make him moved. "I studied medicine because of my mother, who died early. At that time, I thought it might be a consolation for me to study medicine." "And then?" "Later, I realized that being a doctor was not as easy as I thought it would be." Jocelyn sighed, intentionally suppressing her voice and showing a regretful look. "If I want to be a doctor in the 3A hospital in Yanjing, at least, I need graduate with doctor's degree, have overseas exchange experience, and three-year internship. But I gave up the opportunity to study abroad at that time and married you. Unless I can be supported to study abroad now, I can't be a doctor." These words, intentionally or unintentionally, shirked the responsibility to Arthur. At the beginning, Jocelyn was supposed to get engaged to Alex. And the engagement was also proposed by Smith family. After all, Jocelyn was interning in a hospital at that time and then she would go abroad for further study in a few months. The marriage was too hasty. So the two families decided to let them engage first. But no one expected that Alex was in collusion with Katherine. Because of this matter, Jocelyn was seriously ill, delayed her further education, failed in both career and love, and was arranged by Turner family to marry Arthur. Jocelyn looked at Arthur and observed his face freely. Since she had that, she believed that he would give up questioning the matter that she studied medicine before. Arthur raised the corner of his mouth, "There is a chance for further study in the Medical College of the Military Region this year. If I tell you that I am able to support you, what excuse will you use to refuse it?" Jocelyn's relaxed face gradually condensed and became unnatural. "Um... This... I...just forget it." "Why?" Being compelled to be anxious, although she knew that Arthur could not find any clues, she still felt the invisible pressure so that she said angrily and fiercely in a hurry. "One will be punished if he persuades others to learn medicine." The air stagnated for a moment. Arthur raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her in dismay. Jocelyn only had to complain hard. "You haven't learnt that so you don't know. It's too hard to study medicine. After so many years of learning, I haven't learned much. I've almost died before, and I want to think for myself more and to change my profession as soon as possible." She now admired herself more and more that she was so skillful to talk nonsense in front of Arthur without shyness. Arthur looked more curious, "You have almost died?"
