Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 24

In the afternoon, Luke received news of Sasha’s escape while he was in the hospital.

She has fled! Again

His heart skipped a beat, but soon, the distressed man received a call from an anonymous number.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Mr. Scott. It’s me, Sasha. I’m so sorry, but I snuck out to see my aunt. Don’t worry. I’ll make my way back to the apartment once I’m done visiting them!”

Sasha, the source of his distress, gave him a call and explained the reasons behind her sudden departure.

Luke was uncertain if he should be glad. After he peeked at Sebastian who was still unconscious in the ward. “Alright. But can you please hurry before Mr. Hayes is aware of your disappearance?”

“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely keep that in mind and return once I’m done!”

Sasha felt as though a boulder had been lifted off her shoulders since Luke wasn’t particularly against the idea. She hung up after assuring him.

Luke could feel his head throbbing.

He should be glad Sasha could remember his contact number after five years. He doubted she even knew Sebastian’s number.

Due to her escape, he knew he would have to deal with all sorts of issues soon.

When Luke was about to enter the ward, the doctor approached him, “Mr. Luke, Mr. Hayes’s CT scan shows no sign of brain hemorrhaging. However, we can’t ignore the symptoms. To be frank, hemorrhage is unavoidable because of his current condition.”

“What should we do, doctor?” Luke was anxious.

The doctor shook his head and said, “I’m sure after visiting countless doctors domestically, you would know his condition better than me, right?”

The doctor continued, “I know you went abroad to seek another doctor’s opinion in Clear Hospital. Why have you returned so soon? Speaking of which, why was he unconscious and rushed to the hospital the moment you returned? Can’t that doctor do anything about it?”

Luke heaved a long sigh at that.

Who would’ve known that famous doctor from Clear Hospital was Sebastian’s “dead” wife from five years ago?

“As Mr. Hayes’ specialist, are you overestimating the effects of TCM?”

“No. I believe you should do some research into TCM. It is a skill that originated in our country thousands of years ago. Take acupuncture, for example. It controls a patient’s condition by administering the needles to the pressure points. This can be more beneficial to the patient compared to surgery that is usually a recommendation for Western medicine.”

There was conviction, even a hint of admiration in the specialist’s voice as he explained the benefits of TCM, especially acupuncture, to Luke.
