Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 355

355 Lolita is awake 

At the hospital… 

Doc Matt stared at his phone one more time and sighed for the umpteenth time. That father and son are driving him crazy. He was expecting a call but thanks to them, his phone is switched off. 

Switching it back on is not the problem but what happens if one of them, or rather, Jeslyn calls? He had no time at all to be dragged into that family’s childish mess. 

While he was thinking, a knock sounded on the door before it was pushed open by a pretty and clean 

nurse. 

“Doctor Matt, the patient in VIP room 2 is awake” 

“How long had she been awake?” 

“Since yesterday.” 

Doctor Matt raised his gaze to stare emotionlessly at her before she immediately continued for fear that she might bear the punishment for a sin she didn’t commit. 

“Doctor Amy checked on her and instructed you shouldn’t be disturbed as you had a long surgery yesterday.” 

Doctor Matt got up and picked up his white coat and stethoscope before heading out with the nurse. 

On getting to VIP Ward 2, Lolita was seen sitting on the bed with her head resting on the headrest. Her lips were chapped and her colorful face had turned white. 

When she saw Doc Matt walk in through the door, she turned her face away and tried to lie back 

down. 

Doc Matt noticed but said nothing. He checked on her and after a while, asked; “How do you feel?” 

“My heart hurts,” she replied without looking at him.) 

Doc Matt looked at herfor a long time before saying to the nurse beside him; “Prepare for a full body 

check.” 

“Yes, Senior,” the lady left after that. 

Matt pulled out his phone from his pocket and turned it on. There were a few missed calls from Valen. He shook his head with a small smile on his lips before dialing Maverick’s number. 

“Inform your wife; her friend is awake.” He kept the phone after that and passed his gaze over Lola. She still didn’t look at him. 

Doc Matt went over to a couch in the room and sat on it with one leg crossed over the other. 

“Was my family informed?” she asked. 

“Mn.” 

“No one caine?” 

“No, he responded. 

Silence filled the room for a long time before he asked. “Do you know how long you’ve been asleep?” 

“Almost two weeks… your girlfriend couldn’t wait to inform me. It seems I took a lot of your time while I was asleep.” She finally turned to look at him. “You should have told me she existed. I wouldn’t have bothered you.” 

“Because she’s not important,” he replied. 

“You’ll always be an asshole.” Lolita turned her face to the ceiling and closed her eyes but a teardrop slipped down her eyes. The hurtful words from that ugly doctor romanced her brain. 

“You’re finally awake. I was beginning to think you were doing this on purpose. Doc Matt is in the ward, still, you have to take almost two weeks to wake up. 

“I’m sure you liked the feel of his touch on your filthy skin, which was why you took so long to wake. Now that you are, I’ll take over from him. 

“Mind you, I saw the video of you kissing him in the elevator, and before that, I saw how you were throwing yourself at him. Just to inform you, he’s my man and I’ll not have a prostitute like you 

snatch 

him away from me, got that?

“You should be lucky I signed to save lives, else I would have sent you back to the land of no return!” 

The more Lolita remembered those words, the harder her tears fell. She hated a third party in a relationship so much that she never wished to be one. 

A third party in a relationship was what destroyed her happy family, and in the end, took her mother’s life, which in turn, changed her family into a problematic one. 

She took a deep breath and slowly wiped her tears. Jeslyn will be here soon and it would be extremely 

bad if she sees those tears. 

Meanwhile, the observant Doc Matt had seen her wiping her tears and thought she was crying because none of her family cared about her. 

A while later, the pretty nurse walked into the room with a female doctor. She smiled at Doc Matt but. he didn’t acknowledge her with the simplest glance but the doctor didn’t seem to mind. 

She walked up to Lolita and smiled genuinely. “Good afternoon patient, how do you feel?” She tried to
