My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Anger flashed across the man’s face. “I didn’t know you’re a doctor. Why have you never told me about that?”

Ashlyn looked at him like he had gone crazy. “Excuse me. I’m busy.”

The nurses and doctors exited the operating theater right then. “Dr. Berry, I have a question regarding this procedure.”

“Dr. Berry, remember the arteries? You avoided them so deftly. I nearly gasped in shock when I saw you make that cut right next to the arteries.”

“Dr. Berry, was there really a lesion? I didn’t see anything wrong back then.”

Lucas watched as the woman answered the questions from her surgical team in a low voice. She looked dazzling and charming in her element and was no longer gentle and coy.

Instead, she treated him like a stranger indifferently. It was as if they were miles apart from each other despite being so physically close.

Just what kind of person she was?

In the ward, Cindy Wynn lay on her bed and whined, “Terry, what’s going on? Why isn’t Mr. Nolan here yet? Did you tell him I got seriously wounded?”

“Don’t worry. He’ll be here soon,” Terry Peters, her manager, assured her.

“It’s all your fault for coming up with this horrible idea. You said I wouldn’t get hurt, but I twisted an ankle!” Cindy stared at her bandaged ankle which was hurting a lot.

“Darling, you’re lucky enough you needn’t get operated on,” Terry replied and glanced at the door. He made sure no one was near the room before he declared, “I lied to Lucas and told him you’re in surgery. I even informed the paparazzi to wait at the entrance for him. When he arrives, I guarantee he make the headlines.”

“But will he come?” Cindy sighed. “I’ve waited since noon. It’s near midnight now.”

Right then, a knock sounded at the door.

Both Cindy and Terry brightened up at once. Cindy put on a weak look before she called faintly, “Come in.”

“What are you doing here?”
