Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 768

"Who is it?"

Bella immediately got tense.

Cornell quickly stood up, fastened his belt, and went to the window.

Nicole blamed herself in heart for being too reckless. And it seemed a little difficult for her to sneak out now.

What should she do?

Just as Cornell was about to push open the window, a knock came from outside.

"Doctor Cornell, the director is looking for you. Please come over."

Cornell paused.

"Wait. I'll be there in a moment."

"It's urgent. She wants you there now. Doctor Cornell, it seems like something about the title."

The nurse outside looked a little edgy.

Bella frowned.

Taking advantage of this impasse, Nicole glided into the next ward. Fortunately, it was empty.

Bella pushed Cornell away and opened the window. A flower pot fell. There was no one outside, but she was still worried.

Cornell looked down and whispered, "Perhaps it's a stray cat or something. It's very noisy lately. This is the 13th floor. Who do you think can peek from a window high up here? Don't be theatrical."

Bella was somewhat uneasy.

"Go and check the CCTV. I can't be at ease, anyway."

"Stop messing around. I told the nurse that I was taking a lunch break here. But now you're asking me to see the CCTV now. What's the excuse? I can't say that I lost something during the break, can I?"

Cornell's words made Bella chuckle. "Why not? What if you did lose something?"

"Get it straight. I turned off the cameras to meet you here. Otherwise, our relationship would have been an open secret, okay?"

Cornell felt that Bella got wires crossed today.

Bella was a little irritated.

"But there was someone there just now."

"Where is it? This is the thirteenth floor! The window on the thirteenth floor. Try hiding out there yourself."

Cornell went hysterical.

At this moment, the nurse's voice came from outside again.

"Doctor Cornell, are you still there?"

"This nurse is so needy. What happened? You can't screw her, can you?"

Bella just expressed her jealousy.

Cornell felt that Bella was being simply unreasonable.

"I'm a doctor here. Isn't it normal for me to interact with nurses? What do you mean? Are you watching me every day? Or what? You've got husband and son, but I can't have a relationship? Bella, aren't you going too far?"

All of a sudden, Bella grabbed Cornell by the collar and said, "Do I go too far? Who am I doing this for? Cornell, you're so ungrateful! You're not married or in love with others, but don't think that I have no idea what you've done with other bitches!"

"Then what do you want? I am a man, a sexually healthy man! It's been years. I'm done suppressing it. When I need you, you're in Ballard's bed. What right do you have to restrict my social life?"

Cornell pulled Bella away and said coldly, "If you expect things to go smoothly with Maia, you'd better not provoke me now."

"You! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm doing this for you and my son!"

"Whoever you do so for, you can't embarrass me. Bella, I can stay unmarried for the rest of my life for you, but you'd better not interfere in my business, unless you don't sleep with Ballard."

With that, Cornell slammed the door and left.

Bella was stunned, then sat down on the bed and cried.

Nicole could hear it clearly next door, but she did not stay for too long. She was afraid that suddenly everything would click and Bella came to find her.

Nicole slipped out of the ward and saw Micah holding a cloak. He draped it over her body.

"Mrs. Green, I heard something just now. I had a nurse call Cornell away."

Nicole appreciated Micah's reaction, but she said worriedly, "When Cornell knows that the director didn't look for him, he will probably realize something, so we should hurry up and leave."

"It's alright, Mrs. Green. I've already talked with the director. As for Cornell's title, I said Mr. Green doesn't agree. So now the director must be looking for Cornell."

Nicole was surprised at Micah's reply.

"You told the director about this? Just now?"

"Yeah."

"How did you know about the title thing?"

"I heard it from the nurses, and they said that Cornell was taking a lunch break in his room, so I did it. Mrs. Green, is it inappropriate?"

Micah looked at Nicole shamefacedly.

"No, no, no. You did very well."

Nicole hastened to compliment him.
