Chapter 19
Someone tell me why my ex-wife is here? I thought she’s unemployed and depends on me to survive? Anyone? Why is she in a doctor’s coat? Lucas’s mind was blown by the sight that greeted him.
The woman stopped three feet away from him, so the surgical team stopped abruptly, too.
Silence ensued in the hallway.
“Mr. Nolan,” Ashlyn greeted him politely.
“Why are you here?” Lucas had snapped back to reality, but he couldn’t stop himself from glaring at Ashlyn.
He had to admit the woman would look gorgeous even if she had a sack on. The doctor’s coat she had on gave her an air of aloofness.
Lucas couldn’t help but imagine her long legs wrapping around his waist.
He gulped abruptly as his lips went dry.
“Dr. Berry, we’re ready for the surgery.” Right then, a young nurse ran out from the operating theater and reported to Ashlyn as a look of admiration lit up her face.
“Mr. Nolan, I have to get back to work.” With that, Ashlyn turned and headed into the operating theater. As she walked in, she announced to her surgical team sternly, “Everyone, let’s do it. Don’t get distracted halfway!”
“Yes!” The surgical team replied respectfully like she was some kind of queen to them.
Spencer rubbed his eyes and inched closer to Lucas. “Mr. Nolan, was that Ms. Berry?”
