Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 37

Kelly stuns at Alice’s question at first then laugh out loud when she realizes Alice misunderstood the situation.

She put the bouquet on Alice’s desk, “The bouquet is yours.”

Alice couldn’t believe what she heard. Looking at Kelly, who can’t stop laughing, she points at herself and asks, “Why are you sending me such a huge bouquet?”

“It is not from me. The florist sent it over and said it is for Dr. Roberts, and you are the only Dr. Roberts we have around.” Kelly explains with a look to dig for gossip on her face, “Did your boyfriend send it?”

“I don’t have a boyfriend,” Alice explains.

“Well, it is strange then. Who would have sent this? Could it be Dr. Blake?”, Kelly teases Alice, “Wow, he is romantic!”

Alice is feeling doubtful when she sees that bouquet of beautiful roses on her desk. John knew that she doesn’t like roses. Furthermore, why would he send the bouquet?

Could it be…Edward?

“You know who this is from, didn’t you? It is from someone you like, right? That look on your face tells me everything.” Kelly thinks she is onto what Alice is hiding, so she starts teasing her with it.

“It’s not what you think.” Alice turns and takes a close look at the bouquet. Edward must be on something, that’s why he sends this bouquet, she thinks.

If that jealousy Joanna finds out about this, she will surely come and make a scene in the hospital. Alice quickly grabs the bouquet and walk towards the main exit.

“Alice, where are you going?”

“I’m going to throw it away.”

What? Kelly is surprised by Alice’s reaction. She quickly stops Alice, “Hey, I have never received any bouquet in my life. Don’t throw it if you don’t like it. We can still keep it as a decorative item.”

“If you like it, it’s yours.” Alice handover the bouquet to Kelly, walk back to her seat and starts reading the piled-up clinical notes of diagnosis on her desk.

“No, this is for you… Hmm? What is this?” Kelly takes out a card that stuck in between the roses and read out the content. “For the beautiful Dr. Roberts. From a grateful family member of a patient.”

Alice stopped flipping the clinical notes. A patient?

The face of the elegant hottie she met yesterday come across her mind. She walks to Kelly and read the card by herself. She frowns. Looks like it is not from Edward.

“Looks like Dr. Roberts has an admirer”, Kelly teases Alice and smells the roses, “Ah, these roses smell lovely.”

Alice doesn’t know what to say about Kelly, “Alright, if you like the bouquet, you can have it. Just don’t tell anyone about this.”

“I promise. Other than Hanna from the reception, no one will know about it. You know what, the last time when Dr. Fields cured a patient, he received a silk banner from the family, and he mentioned it every time he sees someone.

Look at you. Patient sends you roses and you want to throw them away? Do you know that this is a great chance for you to prove your excellent skills and that you are loved by your patients?”

Kelly won’t stop nagging about Alice’s reaction towards this bouquet of roses. Alice knows that Kelly cares about her but this person who sends the bouquet is certainly targeting her instead of complimenting her medical skills.

She saw that quite a lot when she stationed in overseas hospitals.

“Fine. If anyone sends me flowers next time, I authorize you to help me to spread the news, alright?” Alice surrenders.
