Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 23: A Member Of The Greenwoods

"She really has a bad temper,"

Jolie muttered under her breath as she stared at Michelle's back.

She'd managed to squeeze herself into the Roberts Enterprise and become Gerard's secretary only after going through all kinds of difficulties, so how could she possibly have a good attitude when she met Gerard's ex-wife, Michelle? Michelle, who had just returned to her desk, quickly sat down and opened the medical record.

Wrinkles were soon formed on her brows.

Sure enough, it really was Gerard! She couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, he didn't talk to her just now.

It'd be very troublesome if people knew about their relationship.

The sudden sound of the door being opened and closed snapped Michelle out of thoughts.

An idea popped up in her mind when she saw George walking into the office.

She quickly pulled him over.

"George, I've got you a nice job.Would you like to give it a try?"

George looked at Michelle in disbelief.

Since when did she treat him so well? The sudden change in her attitude really made him suspicious, especially when the crafty glint in her eyes was so obvious. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"What job?"

"Well, can you take care of the patient in Room 001?"

She handed the medical record file to George and stared at him expectantly.

George doubtfully took the file.

A frown immediately appeared on his brows after he skimmed through the first several pages, but he quickly resumed his calm expression.

"Michelle, is this the CEO of the Roberts Enterprise, Gerard? Gastric bleeding? Don't you know each other? Why do you want to hand him over to me?"

George asked several questions in a row.

Michelle smiled unconcernedly.

"It's due to personal reasons."

"I'm afraid I'd have to decline.I already have two patients in my care now.Besides, I'm pretty sure that this record was written by Albert himself.He's our boss.If he's personally assigned a patient to you, you don't really have the option to refuse."

"What?"

Michelle slumped back into her chair.

A sense of helplessness swept over her.

Why couldn't she get free of Gerard? What Nina said about a grumpy patient in the VIP ward suddenly crossed her mind.

Was that grumpy patient Gerard? She had to admit that Gerard was a little cold, but he seldom lost his temper.

He simply wasn't the kind of person who arbitrarily vented his anger on others.

With a helpless sigh, she shifted her line of sight towards the intercom, whose light had been on and off repeatedly for a while.

It was a call from Gerard's room.

Man proposed, God disposed.

The more reluctant to have any contact with him she was, the more she couldn't avoid him.

Resigned to her fate, Michelle made her way towards Room 001 with heavy steps.

When she once again entered the room that looked more like the suite of a five-star hotel, most of the visitors inside had left.

There were two men in suits with documents in their hands, who seemed to be taking turns to report things to Gerard.

Despite feeling completely reluctant, Michelle still walked to Gerard.

"How may I help you?"

"Well, it's been really difficult to call you over.We've been trying to reach you for more than ten minutes.What took you so long? Is this how the biggest hospital in Binfield treats its patients? If anything happens to Gerard, can you afford to take the responsibility?"

Jolie seemed to have assumed the lady boss role.

She had her arms crossed and looked at Michelle contemptuously.

Michelle naturally caught the familiar way she addressed Gerard.

It was quite surprising and actually made her wonder when the two of them became so close? Could it be that he still wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Greenwoods? If that was the case, why did he insist on divorcing her then? Or did he perhaps fall in love with Jolie for real? Had he realized his feeling earlier, he wouldn't have had to go through all these troubles.

Michelle turned a blind eye to Jolie and just focused her attention on Gerard's pale face.

According to his medical record, he was suffering from gastric bleeding.

He must've been too busy with his work and didn't take good care of himself.

Right now, she was neither Mrs.Robert nor Gerard's ex-wife.

She was just a dutiful doctor.

Every patient was the same in her eyes.

There was no distinction between the rich and the poor.

"Her injecting skill is not good."

Gerard looked up from the documents in his hand and gestured at someone standing across Michelle with his chin.
