Cheating husband’s fake affair 384

    <b>Chapter384</b><b>: </b>


    <b>In </b>the afternoon, <b>there </b><b>were </b>about <b>a </b><b>dozen </b>patients waiting in line for appointments at the neurology department, <b>all </b><b>registered </b>under Nigel. Some <b>of </b>them <b>were </b><b>even </b>his regrs.


    Charlotte took <b>notes </b>on the <b>side</b><b>, </b>Nigel checked other tests, <b>diagnosed </b>how serious the illness <b>was</b><b>, </b>and decided if <b>surgery </b>was suitable or what kind of <b>surgery </b><b>would </b>work.


    At that moment<b>, </b>a man in his sixties who <b>had </b><b>hemiplegia </b>was pushed in by his <b>family </b>in a wheelchair, “Dr. Kendall<b>.</b>”


    <b>Nigel </b><b>recognized </b>the patient and family, “Are <b>you </b>Adam Bell’s family?”


    “Yeah, it <b>was </b><b>us</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>the middle–aged <b>woman </b>said, embarrassed. “Last <b>year </b>my husband was in the neurology department. The <b>director </b><b>there </b><b>asked </b><b>you </b>to make <b>a </b>n <b>for </b>us… If <b>we </b><b>had </b>followed your <b>surgery </b>arrangement back then, my husband wouldn’t <b>have</b><b>…</b>”


    The middle<b>–</b>aged woman was full <b>of </b><b>regret</b><b>, </b>her voice shaky with <b>tears</b>.


    The woman’s two kids <b>were </b>by her side<b>. </b><b>Her </b>oldest <b>son </bforted <b>her</b><b>, </b>while <b>the </b>little <b>daughter </b>didn’t say anything, just looked up at Nigel from time to


    time.


    Charlotte <b>nced </b>at <b>Nigel</b><b>. </b>He didn’t <b>say </b>anything, picked up the shlight, <b>got </b>up, walked <b>over </b>to the old man, and checked his pupils.


    “Dr. <b>Kendall</b>, you <b>were </b>the youngest brain <b>specialist </b><b>at </b>Quelum Hospital<b>. </b>Back <b>then</b><b>, </b>we didn’t realize how serious the illness <b>was </b><b>and </b><b>didn’t </b>listen <b>to </b><b>your </b>advice<b>, </b><b>so </b>my husband… <b>Can </b>he still <b>recover</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    “After you guys left the hospital, did he <b>have </b>any episodes?<b>” </b>


    “Yeah, but he had always been taking blood pressure meds, then suddenly <b>these </b>past <b>few </b><b>days </b>he started having convulsions, got confused, and just became <b>paralyzed</b>…”


    Nigel picked <b>up </b>the <b>brain </b>MRI on the table, “This was the mostmon <b>cerebral </b><b>arteriosclerosis</b>. Last <b>year </b>in neurology, it was just <b>a </b><b>cerebral </b>thrombosis. <b>If </b><b>you </b>guys <b>had agreed </b>to do the minimally invasive <b>surgery </b><b>back </b>then, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad.”


    <b>“</b><b>It’s </b><b>my </b><i>fault</i><i>, </i><b>all </b><b>my </b>fault.” The middle–<b>aged </b>woman <b>covered </b>her <b>face </b>and <b>started </b>to <b>cry</b>.


    The <b>young </b>man next to <b>her </b>asked, “So <b>does </b><b>my </b><b>dad </b><b>need </b><b>surgery </b>now?<b>” </b>


    Nigel <b>turned </b>his <b>head </b><b>and </b>looked at Charlotte, “Dr. Sutton, <b>you’re </b><b>the </b><b>lead </b>surgeon, what do you think?”


    <b>The </b><b>family </b>looked <b>at </b><b>Charlotte </b><b>in </b><b>surprise</b>.


    Even <b>though </b>she wore a mask, it <b>was </b><b>obvious </b>from <b>her </b><b>eyes </b><b>and </b><b>face </b>shape <b>that </b>she <b>was </b><b>a </b><b>very </b>young <b>female </b><b>doctor</b>.


    <b>Still </b><b>just </b>a <b>director</b><b>? </b>


    Charlotte checked <b>the </b><b>patient’s </b><b>records </b><b>from </b><bst </b><b>year </b><b>on </b>the <bputer</b><b>, </b><b>then </b>looked at the <b>current </b><b>exam</b>, <b>nodded</b><b>, </b>and <b>said</b>, “<b>We </b><b>can do </b><b>a </b>CEA, which means <b>using </b><b>carotid </b><b>endarterectomy </b><b>to </b><b>remove </b>the thickened atherosclerotic <b>que </b>from the carotid <b>artery</b>. This helps <b>prevent </b><b>the </b><b>que </b><b>from </b><b>breaking </b>off <b>and causing </b>stroke<b>. </b><b>It’s </b><b>a </b><b>procedure </b>to <b>prevent </b><b>cerebral </b><b>infarction</b><b>.</b>”


    Dr. Kendall<b>, </b><b>was </b><b>there </b><b>any </b>risk with <b>this </b><b>surgery</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    <b>The </b><b>middle</b><b>–</b><b>aged </b><b>woman </b><b>ignored </b><b>Charlotte </b><b>and </b><b>only </b><b>asked </b>Nigel.


    Didn’t <b>seem </b>to <b>trust </b>a <b>young </b><b>girl</b>.


    Charlotte <b>just </b><b>smiled </b><b>when </b><b>she </b><b>met </b><b>Nigel’s </b><b>eyes </b><b>and </b><b>didn’t </b><b>say </b>anything <b>else</b>.


    Nigel stayed <b>calm</b><b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Any </b><b>surgery </b>had risks, but <b>if </b><b>you </b><b>didn’t </b><b>do </b><b>it </b><b>and </b><b>had </b><b>a </b>stroke, <b>have you </b>thought about <b>the </b><b>consequences</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>


    The middle<b>–</b><b>aged </b>woman <b>didn’t </b><b>say </b><b>anything </b><b>else</b><b>. </b><b>After </b>thinking <b>it </b><b>over</b><b>, </b><b>she </b><b>still </b><b>agreed </b><b>to </b><b>have </b><b>the </b><b>surgery</b>.


    The diagnosis didn’t finish until <b>four </b><b>in </b>the <b>afternoon</b>. <b>Charlotte packed </b>up <b>her </b><b>stuff </b><b>and </b>was just about <b>to </b><b>get </b><b>up </b><b>when </b><b>a </b><b>girl </b><b>came </b><b>to </b><b>the </b><b>door </b>looking for Nigel.


    Dr. Kendall<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Seeing the girl looking all lovestruck, she guessed what was <b>going </b><b>on</b><b>, </b><b>turned </b>to Nigel and <b>said</b><b>, </b>“Prof. Kendall, I’ll <b>head </b>out <b>first</b><b>.</b>”


    Nigel watched her leave. The girl walked in, took out her phone<b>, </b>and <b>carefully </b>said, “Dr. Kendall<b>, </b><b>can </b><b>I </b>add <b>you </b><b>on </b><b>WhatsApp</b>? If <b>I </b>have any questions about <b>my </b>dad’s surgery, I can ask you <b>directly</b>!”


    “Sorry, <b>I </b>didn’t add patients‘ family members on WhatsApp<b>. </b><b>If </b><b>you </b>need anything, you could contact your attending doctor,”


    Rejected, the girl lowered her eyes, bit her lip, <b>and </b>ran out with red eves

    The <b>girl </b>went back to the surgical ward.

But he picked Dr. Sutton this time. Hey, is there something going on between <b>them</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
