My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 19

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?”

“Yes,” Lucas gritted out through clenched teeth.

Did she really get bad grades as she claimed? She even told me she’s unemployed because she didn’t graduate from college!

Damn it, she didn’t even tell me she’s a doctor!

He was all riled up as he thought all this while she didn’t even get to graduate college due to her bad grades. Marrying him was the only chance for her to survive.

Right now, his head throbbed painfully, reminding him how much of a fool he was.

“About Cindy...” Spencer reminded him.

“I’ll leave it to you to handle the matter. Quash the story ASAP. I don’t care what you do as long as you don’t involve me in the issue. Also, release the truth in that statement.” Lucas had no time for Cindy or Mindy, whoever that woman was.

For the first time in his life, he acted recklessly by stopping a nurse who happened to walk past him. “Is that Dr. Ashlyn Berry?” he inquired.

Even though he was good-looking, the nurse was terrified by his grim expression and answered timidly, “Dr. Berry? Yes. She’s a skillful surgeon. She has always been my idol.”

In a daze, Lucas muttered, “Skillful?”

The young nurse grew excited at the talk of her idol. “She’s the best surgeon in our hospital. Don’t you know her? S-She’s so famous that many influential men came to our hospital to get treated by her. But she only performs one surgery every month, so it’s quite hard to see her in action. Oh, and she’s the top scorer in the national exams! She even graduated with a double degree! How amazing is that? I’m her junior in college. She was so popular back on campus. Because of her, I decided to study medicine. I’m no doctor, but I’m happy enough to be a nurse who can save lives.”
