Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

But Rebecca wasn’t scared of Vance’s anger.

Desmond instinctively moved to shield her, which irritated Vance even more. He barked, “Get over here!”

Rebecca walked over, not because of his order. It was her turn to see the doctor.

Standing in front of him, she smiled faintly. “I’m here to treat my leg, and this slot is mine. You’re gonna snatch it for her?” Vance’s face went ashen. The subject was his Achilles‘ heel and the pain in their marriage.

“Vance…” Catherine tugged his sleeve.

“Cathy…” His expression softened.

“Forget the slot. Let Rebecca go first. We owe her too much.” Catherine flipped from bratty to gracious in a flash, the rims of her eyes reddening dramatically.

“Sorry you’re putting up with this,” he murmured.

She shook her head. “It’s fine. I get you.”

She pulled him away from the door and turned to Rebecca. “Go on in, I’ll come another day.”

Rebecca felt like losing in this showdown. If she gave up the slot to Catherine, she’d undoubtedly lose. If she went in now, she would still be the loser.

Then again, winning or losing didn’t matter.

“Wait up. I’ll go with you.” Desmond hurried forward, holding her arm to provide support, so she wouldn’t be limping too much.

Rebecca didn’t refuse, unwilling to get emotional and look pathetic in front of Vance and Catherine.

Behind them, Catherine spoke to the nurse.

“Can I schedule one now?”

“Your issues?”

“I’m going with you. It’s my responsibility,” he said, tightening his grip.

“Isn’t it your responsibility with that infertility case outside?” Desmond scoffed.

Vance frowned. “My family affairs aren’t for you to comment on.”

The doctor, who had been waiting for quite a while, called out, “Next one! What’s the holdup?” Desmond and Vance flanked Rebecca, neither willing to back down.

Rebecca shook her right arm free. “Vance, is this something to be proud of? So many people are lined up waiting outside. You want our situation exposed? Think that’s a win?”
