After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities -
Chapter 57
Sylvia wondered if she had been too horrible.
“It'll be on me, then,” she offered.
"Ah?" The head nurse was taken aback. She had just invited Sylvia tothe gathering, and it would be paid for by someone else. Therefore, shehurriedly refused, “No, thanks, Dr. Sylvia. It's on me."
In the evening, after knocking off, all doctors and nurses off duty wentto The Phantom Bar, which was a famous, high-end nightclub in Larro."Delilah, you are so generous tonight. The Phantom Bar is expensive.Shall we go dutch?"
“Nah. It's on me. I hope you'll enjoy the gathering,” the head nurserefused.
She had a heavy family burden. Her husband was a regular employeeof a small, private company. Besides two children, they had to takecare of two elderly.
When it was her turn to treat her coworkers to a gathering before, thehead nurse usually chose some less expensive places. The coworkerswere amazed by her generosity this time, feeling curious.
"Delilah is really generous today."
"I hope her husband won't fight with her after she goes home later.”Sylvia followed others silently. She seemed to be a misfit in the livelycrowd.
The head nurse showed them into a private box. A female doctor wasclose to her. Tugging her sleeve, the doctor muttered, "Are you a fool?You need to pay for the house and car loans. Why do you have moneyto treat us?"
"A friend of mine will pay for it. Don't worry," the head nurse whispered,"Enjoy yourself."
"What? Which friend of yours?"
“I'll tell you later.” Then the head nurse raised her voice and said toothers, "Suit yourselves."
All people sat at the table.
It was the first time Sylvia joined their gathering, so a doctor boldlyasked her, "Dr. Sylvia, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Hmm... No, I don't."
"Awesome! Our young doctors have chances.”
"What are you talking about? Dr. Sylvia is so charming. No male doctordeserves her," another coworker retorted loudly.
“Let's propose toasts to welcome Dr. Sylvia. One by one."
Sylvia arched an eyebrow. "Are you guys sure?"
"Of course. This is the first time you have joined our gathering. You arethe most famous and respected doctor in Lilypad General Hospital.Many patients come here for your competence and beauty. We mustpropose a toast to you."
Others echoed.
Sylvia bowed her head slightly, smiling.
She raised her cup. "You'd better not regret it."
Then minutes later.
All the doctors and nurses who wanted to make Sylvia drunk refused todrink any longer. "Dr. Sylvia, please have mercy."
“Dr. Sylvia, you are the top surgeon and also the top drinker.”
“I can't drink anymore."
Sylvia chuckled and gulped down the liquor in her cup.
Then she stood up and said, "I need to use the bathroom. Pleaseexcuse me."
After she left the private box, her phone on the table rang.
A young nurse sitting next to Sylvia was about to remind her, but thelatter had closed the door.
The phone rang crazily.
The young nurse darted at the caller ID. “Hubby?
She couldn't believe her eyes.
It turned out that Dr. Sylvia was married. Wasn't she only 22?
"So noisy!" A male doctor frowned. He looked at Sylvia's phone andwas about to hang it up. However, his hands trembled, probablybecause he had been too drunk. The call was answered instead.Franklin only heard noises from the other end of the line instead ofSylvia's pleasant voice.
"Hello, Sylvia?"
His magnetic voice quieted down the noisy box.
All people exchanged glances. The male doctor hurriedly tossed thephone to the young nurse, so she had to answer, "Sorry, Dr. Sylvia hasgone to the ladies’ room."
"Who is that?"
The man's voice suddenly sounded threatening. All of them could tellhow unhappy he was.
The young nurse was horrified. She answered in a trembling voice,"Th-This is her coworker..."
After Sylvia returned to the private box, others looked at her weirdly.She even saw sympathy in their eyes.
Raising her eyebrows, she asked, "What's wrong?"
“Your husband called you earlier to ask you where you were." Theyoung nurse still had a lingering fear, wondering if Sylvia had a hardtime at home as her husband was so terrifying.
She pitied Sylvia for being so unlucky.
Sylvia's expression slightly changed. Looking stern, she checked herphone and saw Franklin's call log.
She instantly changed his caller ID and tossed the phone to the table inirritation.
Others studied her expression and imagined her unhappy marriage.They lost the mood to continue the gathering.
After a short while, they were ready to go home.
Once they left the bar, they saw two luxury cars at the door, oneBentley and one Lamborghini.
"Oops! Those luxury cars are rare to see.”
"Exactly. Wait. I want to take a closer look."
Sylvia frowned when seeing the familiar Bentley.
Right then, the door of the Lamborghini was opened.
With carefully combed hair, Paul held a rose bouquet and wore amischievous smile that he thought would make him look handsome,walking toward Sylvia.
"Roses for the beauty. They are for you, Miss Andrews."
Sylvia looked at him wordlessly, wondering what was wrong with him.She didn't think she had hit his head last time, but he seemed like hisbrain was broken.
Looking at him indifferently, Sylvia asked, "Did you organize thegathering tonight, Paul?"
Franklin appeared here because her coworkers told him about theirgathering.
Hence, Paul had known their whereabouts ahead of time, so he couldappear there.
Rubbing his nose, Paul replied, "I just wanted to see you."
He had to admit Sylvia was indeed brilliant.
Sylvia's coworkers exchanged glances with each other in confusion. Dr.Sylvia was married, but this man was still pursuing her.
They admired her more.
