Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 795

“Oh… Okay, then. Take good care of Whitney, Charles. She’s the patient, so you ought to give way to her,” Jasmine reminded in a concerned tone.

Charles’ patience was running thin, but he nodded and refrained from talking back.

Jasmine turned around and walked away. However, she kept looking back, making it obvious that she didn’t trust him.

Seeing that, Charles wrapped his arm around Whitney’s shoulders and pulled her in. Whitney shot him a puzzled look, but he flashed a gentle smile in response.

Only then did Jasmine feel at ease and leave.

The moment Jasmine went out of sight in the hospital lobby, Charles retracted his arm and entered the elevator.

“Have you made an appointment? Are you going to see an internist? Which floor is it on?” he asked emotionlessly.

It took a while for Whitney to regain her senses. When she did, she followed him into the elevator and answered, “Yes. I’ve made an appointment to see an internist. Third floor.”

Charles pressed the third-floor button in the elevator and kept mum after that.

Due to how quiet and cramped the elevator was, Whitney stood there gingerly, not knowing where to look. I’ve only not seen him for ten days, but it feels as though I haven’t seen him in a long time. In fact, I even wondered if he had run into trouble and died.

“When you were sent to the hospital for your stomach flu, I was working overtime. I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” Whitney lifted her gaze in bafflement and returned to her senses afterward. Oh. He’s apologizing for what happened the last time around.

“It’s all right, Mr. Newton. Don’t worry about it,” she responded. Back then, I was always alone when I fell sick. At least I had Jasmine keeping me company and Lucas calling for help. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Charles clenched his fists in his pockets and felt a sudden sense of remorse washing over him. When Jasmine called to tell me Whitney was getting sent to the hospital for her stomach flu, I was on my way to look for Gwendolyn. That day, I hesitated and wondered if I should turn back. I ended up opting to look for Gwendolyn. In hindsight, I did Whitney wrong.

“I haven’t been back at the Newton residence for the past ten days. Aren’t you curious about what I was doing?” Charles asked proactively.

Whitney nodded at first but ended up shaking her head after giving it some thought.

Charles was amused. “What are you trying to say?”

“I’m curious because you didn’t show up at Newton Group over the past few days. However, I knew you had important matters to attend to. You told me you hated it when I asked about your personal matters. Therefore, I’m not going to meddle in your private affairs,” she replied truthfully.

Charles lowered his gaze to glance at her. She had a head of blonde curly hair and a pair of exotic-looking eyes. She was the epitome of natural beauty.

At the same time, her fine, straight nose highlighted the exquisite facial features she had.

As she stood there in silence, she looked like a kind and understanding wife.

Charles felt bad for her, but he chose to hold his tongue.

The two then exited the elevator in silence. Being a hospital in the city, the corridors were understandably brimming with patients.

Whenever someone walked past Charles and Whitney, they would halt in their tracks and glance at the couple.

As soon as the couple appeared, the crowd could be heard whispering among themselves. Obviously, most of them were gossiping about Charles.

Whitney felt uneasy, so she asked softly, “Mr. Newton, we’re still keeping our marriage a secret in public. If these people recognize you and see you accompanying me to the hospital, will you be on the news headlines tomorrow?”

“Mmm-hmm,” Charles hummed in response. That’s precisely what’s going to happen.

“Perhaps… Let’s just forget about it. After all, I’ve had problems with my stomach for a long time. I’ll be okay on my own. Besides, I don’t want to waste your precious time,” she suggested.

“Mmm-hmm.”

Whitney couldn’t help feeling disappointed when he agreed to it without the slightest hesitation.

Coincidentally, it was Whitney’s turn to see the internist.

“Thank you for your time, Mr. Newton. Don’t worry. I’ll keep this from Jasmine,” Whitney uttered politely.

With that, she entered the examination room hastily, without turning back.

Charles took two steps forward and mulled over it for a couple of seconds. Ultimately, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

A few minutes later, someone suddenly pushed the door to the examination room open.
