Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1816

"Where did you get Lucas? Joseph, you know that Lucas is the one we want."

As soon as Nichole finished speaking, she noticed Joseph glaring at her.

He said indifferently, "If you don't want me to operate on that man anymore, then keep asking about Lucas. I don't care, but I'm afraid that person can't wait."

Nichole didn't dare to speak at once.

Joseph didn't care what she thought. He went to the dressing room inside alone, changed into a set of clothes, and came out, then directly burned the original clothes in front of Nichole.

"What are you doing?"

"I have Lucas' scent and fingerprints on me."

Joseph's words made Nichole look at him a few more times.

The more she spent time with Joseph, the more she felt that Joseph was a cautious and careful man. If she could be pampered by such a man, she would be a happy woman for life.

Nichole was tempted to lean over, but Joseph stopped her in her tracks with a cold look.

She smiled awkwardly, but Joseph didn't have a nice look on his face.

"Get out when you have nothing more to do. Don't come to my place again. Even as an ordinary person, I don't want to see you again, or I might not do well in surgery."

"You!"

Nichole bit her lower lip and looked like crap.

Joseph was simply too hateful!

But his background, his ability, and his influence in the medical world could not allow her to be reckless.

Nichole snorted coldly and walked away in a huff.

When she had gone, Joseph took out his phone and gave his assistant an order.

"Get someone to disinfect my office once and for all. Also, leave the windows open for twelve hours before closing them."

The assistant was slightly flabbergasted and couldn't help saying, "Dr. Joseph, twelve hours means leaving the windows open at night. It's not good for the cold air to get in that way."

"Do as I say."

Joseph rarely spoke in such a cold, hard voice.

The aide was startled and rushed to comply.

Joseph was a little annoyed when he hung up the phone. He tugged at his collar, still not feeling comfortable, and couldn't help but leave the office.

He had just gotten into his car when he received a call from Nicole.

Joseph looked at the caller ID and frowned slightly, but didn't rush to press the answer button.

He was hesitating, but suddenly pressed the answer button the moment the call was about to hang up.

"Mum ..."

Joseph opened his mouth in a low voice, and his eyes were slightly red.

Nicole didn't detect anything wrong with Joseph's voice and just asked with concern, "You went to Capital City?"

"Well, I'll be back after I have the surgery."

Joseph didn't say much.

Nicole didn't doubt it and said softly, "I just heard you have problems with your stomach. Joseph, you're a doctor too. Don't forget to eat when you're out on business. I know doctors don't have much time to rest once they're on the operating table, but I have to say, a weak stomach at a young age is not a good sign. When this operation is over, you go home and I'll get your stomach properly conditioned."

Hearing Nicole ramble on, Joseph had tears well up to his eyes.

"Mom, who told you I have problems with my stomach? I’m fine."

"Is it? Would you faint in pain in the middle of the night if you were fine? Joseph, how long are you going to keep this from me and your father? Your father said that if you don't listen, he'll have Lucas tie you up after this operation and see if you will feel awkward. It's up to you anyway. All right, I won't keep you any longer. Take care of yourself."

Nicole hung up the phone after that.

Joseph looked at the phone in his hand, and his throat tightened.
