Chapter 9 Ashley Is Pregnant

Ashley was stunned. Then she gawked at the doctor. “I…”

Seeing her in a daze, the doctor frowned. “We are talking about legal responsibility here. Signing is no joke.”

“Let me. I’m the patient’s wife.” I walked over to the doctor, took the pen, and signed.

The doctor looked at me and frowned. “Are you sure you’re a family member?”

I put down the pen, glanced at Ashley, and said indifferently, “If lovers can be considered as family members, then she is a family, too.”

With that, I walked over to the side wall and leaned against it. The doctor looked at us with an expression that said, “You guys have a messy relationship.”

With her head down and her face flushed, Ashley stood in front of the doctor and said, “Doctor, please. Please save him.”

The doctor nodded, said no more, and went into the operating room.

I stood against the wall for a few minutes, and my legs were sore. So, I looked at Roy and said, “Mr. Austen, I have something to do, so I’m leaving. Call me if anything.”

Seeing that I was about to leave, Roy was surprised. “Mrs. Hinton… You’re leaving now?”

I pursed my lips and nodded.

Then I looked at Dale, who was standing aside. “Dale, you may go back, too. He won’t die.”

Then I walked straight out of the hospital.

“Tabatha.” Ashley caught up to me downstairs in the hospital.

She was so obsessed. After a terrible night and a busy morning, I was indeed not in the mood to waste my time on her.

I looked back at her and said calmly, “Yes?”

“When are you going to divorce Walter?” She looked at me and cut to the chase.
