The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 58 Good Dogs Don’t Block the Way

“You already have one? You can’t possibly be looking down on us old-timers and just saying that, right?”

An older doctor present regarded Evelyn with suspicion.

Evelyn chuckled at the comment and began to explain earnestly.

“Director, I really do have a mentor. He’s a wonderful person, and if he knew I was taking on another mentor, he’d likely come storming over here to confront you!”

Evelyn exaggerated for effect, but her demeanor convinced the influential figures around her that she truly had a mentor.

After speaking, while many in the room appeared momentarily dazed, she quickly darted out.

It had been ages since she’d performed a complete surgery; it felt like her hands weren’t even her own!

She needed to seize the Khari Parker project before Ethan Miller returned.

However, as she opened the door, she was taken aback to see a familiar face.

Ethan Miller he was back already!

–

A surge of wariness washed over Evelyn.

As Ethan Miller looked her way, she furrowed her brow and walked over to Khari Parker.

Ethan Miller felt a twinge of irritation upon seeing Evelyn, but the information he’d just received from Khari Parker kept his temper in check.

She had no chance of performing surgery; if she was seeking Khari Parker out now, it must be to apologize.

It was downright foolish!

Rather than begging for Khari Parker’s forgiveness, she should be coming to him for help!

After all, the person in trouble was Khari Parker’s son.

With that thought, Ethan Miller pulled Evelyn aside before she could speak to Khari Parker, his voice threaded with anger.

“Evelyn, are you willing to sacrifice your entire career for Grayson Hayes?”

“Inside is CEO Parker’s son, a living, breathing person. For Grayson Hayes and this project, you’re willing to overlook a human life? Do you even realize you’re a doctor?”

That day, Grayson Hayes had put it so nicely.

Evelyn’s dream had been to be a good doctor.

But what had she become? An affair during her marriage was bad enough; he could overlook it.

But CEO Parker, while his business may not measure up to theirs, had some projects in collaboration with the government.

So offending CEO Parker could lead to massive repercussions for the Miller family if they sought revenge.

Evelyn had made a grave mistake, and he wouldn’t confront a wall with an egg.

Ethan Miller’s eyes flashed momentarily with a hint of delight.

Furthermore, this would show Evelyn the cost of leaving him, making her realize Grayson Hayes was just using her.

At that point, he could bring William along to sweet-talk Evelyn back into his life just as before.

Evelyn sensed Ethan Miller was caught up in some strange fantasy, but seeing his expression – naive and deranged – she realized it couldn’t lead to anything good.

Moreover, from Ethan Miller’s words, she discerned he believed she was working for Grayson Hayes.

He didn’t truly believe she could achieve anything significant.

“Ethan Miller, you really have a selective memory, If that beating you took before didn’t awaken you, I wouldn’t mind finding someone to jog your memory again!”

Ethan Miller turned sharply to Evelyn, nearly losing control and grabbing her wrist.

“Evelyn, what did you just say? You know Grayson Hayes hit me?”

The sudden revelation crushed Ethan Miller, his eyes filled with pain as if he might shatter.

She knew!

She was helping an outsider to deal with him.

Evelyn regarded Ethan Miller with the pitying gaze one might give a fool.

“Of course I know. Good dogs don’t stand in the way; now move aside.”

Ethan Miller finally came back to himself, his eyes now narrowing with resentment towards her.

She was coldhearted enough to watch Grayson Hayes use underhanded tactics against him.

“Evelyn, what exactly are you smirking about? I can assure you that I won’t be pleading with CEO Parker on your behalf later.”

“If you want to stay alive, I suggest you leave right now.”

Evelyn was still Ethan Miller’s wife, despite their rocky relationship; she didn’t want to face repercussions from Khari Parker.

Completely perplexed by Ethan Miller’s logic, Evelyn felt impatience bubbling up and raised her voice instinctively.

“Ethan Miller, are you insane? Why should I leave?”

With the contract practically in her grasp, she had put in the work; why should she let Ethan Miller take the credit?

Khari Parker observed them both, initially keeping his voice low as he focused on the happenings in the operating room, not paying them much mind.

However, upon hearing Evelyn’s retort that Ethan Miller wanted her to leave, an ominous feeling settled in his stomach.

He quickly approached Evelyn and blocked her way.

“No way, you can’t leave! What’s happening with my son?”

Khari Parker’s expression was frantic. Having lost his wife during childbirth, he clung fiercely to the son they had left.

He treated his son like a lifeline, allowing no room for error.

Given the implications of Ethan Miller’s words, his eyes welled up as he gripped Evelyn’s arm tightly.

“Dr. Hart, you need to tell me how my son is doing!”

Ethan Miller, anxious at the side, felt urgency. He had warned Evelyn to leave, and now she was acting foolishly at a critical

moment.

He sighed inwardly, subtly positioning himself in front of Evelyn to calm Khari Parker’s emotions.

“CEO Parker, don’t be upset. Evelyn is just a junior doctor; what does she really understand? The senior doctors are still in there

working on it. Let’s just wait quietly.”

“As for Evelyn, she was likely sent by the senior doctors to organize surgical data. Don’t worry; your son will be fine.”

As he spoke, he desperately gestured to Evelyn, urging her to make her exit.

But Evelyn stood her ground, seemingly oblivious to his hints.

Fool!

Ethan Miller cursed under his breath again.

On the surface, he continued to try to buy time for her.

“CEO Parker, ignore her; she likes to show off.”

But the mixture of fury and sorrow had driven Khari Parker over the edge. He turned his unwavering gaze on Evelyn, demanding

answers.

“Tell me! What’s going on with my son?”

Ethan Miller felt a pang of alarm; this was Khari Parker’s territory, and if he indeed snapped, Ethan didn’t stand a chance.

He could only hope Evelyn would wise up and make the right move.

But that fleeting hope was quickly dashed as Evelyn stepped out from behind Ethan Miller.

“Mr. Parker, don’t worry. Your son is doing well.”

Of course, Ethan Miller didn’t believe her, and he interrupted her loudly.

“Evelyn, enough already! At a time like this, can’t you stop belittling yourself? What has happened to you?”

After that, he turned to explain to Khari Parker.

“CEO Parker, rest assured, the medical team I brought will definitely save Young Master Parker.”

Just then, the door swung open.
