The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1941

Chapter 1941 Timid

The next day, Madilyn awoke early as usual and got ready to go to work.

Lorraine had finished preparing breakfast and asked her daughter to have it.

On any other day, Madilyn would've cleaned her plate like a tornado and rushed to the hospital like a gust.

However, she was eating slower than she typically would, which worried Lorraine.

Still, Lorraine understood that no amount of lectures could help her daughter and that she should face relationship issues head-on.

Reluctantly, Madilyn went to the hospital. She was afraid she would witness an upsetting scene, but she still went in anyway.

After all, she was the director, and she had to make the call about many important decisions waiting for her every day.

Upon her arrival at the hospital, she passed by the conference room and heard the conversation of a few doctors inside.

“What's the relationship between Mr. Queen and patient number 37? Why do they seem so intimate with each other? I thought Mr. Queen and our director are...”

“Our colleague in the emergency room said number 37 was in an accident with Mr. Queen, which is why he has been tending to her.

Don't spout blind speculations. Maybe they're just friends.

“Does the director know about this? If I were in her shoes, I definitely won't want to see that.”

“Stop gossiping! The director will arrive soon. Let's just focus on our task. Dr. Anderson, it's your turn to conduct room inspection today!”

Madilyn was stunned for a few seconds before she scampered to her office because she didn't want anyone to see the bitterness on her face.

She would have agreed to see the patient if it were someone else. However, Jonathan seemed really close to Coralie, so Madilyn was reluctant to go and check on her. Is he stupid or what?

In the end, Madilyn tactfully rejected it, “The doctor on duty will check up on her. You don't need to worry too much because concussions take some time to heal. Her prescriptions should include analgesic pills. She'll be fine in two or three days.”

“So, this is considered normal, right?” asked Jonathan.

Madilyn looked calm as she nodded.

“I'm glad to hearthat! Again, thank you so much for your help.” Jonathan never once noticed how odd Madilyn's expression was.

Then, he left her office to return to the inpatient department.

Madilyn stood up, shut the door, and sighed. “Why am I so timid? This doesn’t make sense! Jonathan never told me who Coralie is to him, so why should I avoid her?”
