He Wants Me Back After the Divorce by Little Mermaid

Chapter 2 She Saved His Mistress

A month later, a group of people gathered in an emergency room at a hospital, making the atmosphere tense and alert.

A man in an expensive tailored suit hurried over, looking a little less polished than usual.

As Dominic fixed his gaze on the emergency room door, a hint of worry was visible in his cold eyes.

He glanced at Leon, who was standing next to him, and asked, “How long has she been inside?”

“Miss Murphy’s condition is more severe than we anticipated, Leon responded anxiously. “She passed out on the way here, but Dr. Lynn hasn’t yet arrived.”

“Hasn’t Dr. Lynn come back to the country already?”

“Her assistant did tell us earlier that she had returned and settled down, so we shouldn’t worry about not being able to reach her. However, they suddenly lost contact with her.”

Leon updated Dominic on the situation, saying, “Nonetheless, an attending physician has already gone in, so we should be able to buy some time.”

Employees nearby held their breath, fully aware that the woman waiting for the operation was the president’s true love. Rumors circulated that the president had recently divorced his ten–year–long wife in order to marry Miss Murphy.

The sounds of distant footsteps became closer. When Dominic heard a familiar voice, he turned to see a woman in a white coat and a mask, followed by several other people.

Even though she hadn’t been seen in a month, her eyes gave her away, and even Leon could recognize her as Celia, Dominic’s ex–wife.

Dominic was caught off guard by her and immediately jumped to a highly improbable conclusion.

He fixed his gaze on the woman before him while she remained indifferent and calmly told him, “You’re in the way.”

The dean quickly interjected, “Mr. Dawson, this is Dr. Lynn. Could you please let her in? The patient’s condition doesn’t allow for any further delays.”

Celia’s face remained expressionless, but a barely perceptible smile played on her lips. “Indeed, otherwise, don’t blame me if the person inside the operating room dies,” she remarked.

Dominic clenched his fist while Leon thought, “Miss Murphy is probably screwed.

They couldn’t believe Dominic’s ex–wife would go to such lengths to save the woman he loved.

Dominic turned to the dean for confirmation, asking. “Is she genuinely Dr.

Lynn?”

The dean nodded repeatedly, assuming Dominic was concerned about Celia’s identity. He quickly reassured him, saying, “Absolutely. Mr. Dawson, please rest assured. Dr. Lynn performed an emergency surgery at our hospital a few days. ago. We had already confirmed her qualifications, so I’m sure this is her. Don’t let her young age deceive you. Dr. Lynn’s medical abilities are truly exceptional. Please don’t worry. She’ll do the operation this time, and we should see at least at

50% success rate.

However, there was still a 50% chance of failure, which included unknown

uncertainties.

Celia crossed her arms and said, “If Mr. Dawson doesn’t want me to do the surgery, I can leave right now.

“How confident are you?” Dominic asked, even though the dean had already provided an answer.

Celia responded with a sneer, “Just 50%.”

When their gazes met, Celia showed no fear as she stared him down.

Dominic had never seen this side of Celia before. She had always seemed gentle and submissive to him, like a rose kept indoors, relying solely on his support.

He realized that maybe he never got to know her at all in the ten years they were together.

He stepped aside and said, “Go ahead.”

After racking his brain for something to say, Leon realized there was nothing more to add.

There was no choice but to allow Celia to carry out the operation at this time.

Celia nodded indifferently after removing her mask.

Dominic cast his gaze downward as the emergency room doors closed once

more.

Celia smiled to herself as she looked down at Grace Murphy in the emergency room and saw the terror on her face.

Why are you here. Celia?‘

Grace had been sedated and rendered immobile, but seeing Celia made her already ashen face look even paler.

Grace’s status as Dominic’s mistress was no secret to Celia.

Dominic married Celia because his family told him to do so, but his real affection lay with Grace.

Everyone believed that Dominic would eventually get married to Grace.

Celia, on the other hand, felt it had nothing to do with her.

Grace would have vanished long ago if Celia had really minded about her

existence.

With no visible emotion on her face. Celia took up the scalpel and warned. “You better cooperate with the surgery if you don’t want to die.”

“No. I don’t want you to operate on me! Leave we alone! I want to see Dominic!” Grace let out a piercing scream.

The doctors in the room exchanged looks as they all knew the patient would not cooperate. “Dr. Lynn. do you need to…” one of the doctors asked.

“No. I’m pressed for time.” Celia replied, smiling at the woman in the hospital. bed. “Suit yourself.”

“No, I don’t want you to perform the surgery. Get the hell out!” Grace yelled.

Celia sneered and continued on with the preparation. She told the attending physicians. “The patient is being too disruptive. Increase the anesthesia dosage.”

“Alright.”

Grace quickly fell into a deep sleep as the anesthesia was increased, and the operating room became silent as usual.

Grace’s face was terrified even when she was sleeping.

Celia’s professionalism and confidence impressed everyone in the operating room, which made them trust her more.

The lights outside the emergency room were turned off after seven hours.

Celia was the first to open the door and step outside, and she ran right into Dominic, who was standing at the door.

He had clearly been standing there the entire time, waiting.

“Did it all go well?” he asked.

“Yes,” Celia said aloof as she removed her mask.

Leon showed a surprised expression in response to their conversation. They had once been a couple but now appeared to be strangers.

For Celia, Dominic had indeed become a stranger. The lengthy operation had drained her emotionally and physically, leaving her with little reserves for replying to him. She just wanted to leave at the moment.

Dominic, however, grabbed her hand as she tried to walk past him and led her in a different direction.

The nearby Dawsons, who had never met Celia, expressed bewilderment. Leon explained, “Mr. Dawson wants to get more information from Dr. Lynn.”

“But even if it’s just for an inquiry, he shouldn’t be holding her hand. Maybe he’s worried about Miss Murphy’s safety.” They could only come to this conclusion, despite how strange it felt.

He clutched Celia’s hand until they reached a quiet corner.

He soon backed her up against a wall and cornered her there.

“Why did

you become Dr. Lynn?” Dominic asked directly.

“I wanted to do something because I was bored,” Celia replied calmly. “What’s the problem with that?”

Dominic felt an unfathomable rage well up within him as he looked at her icy expression and remembered how she once was tender and caring.

“How is Grace doing?” he asked, taking a deep breath.

“I’ve already told you she’s not in any danger at the moment. However, she can only live if we replace a suitable heart for her.” Celia explained Since childhood, Grace, Dominic’s childhood sweetheart, had congenital heart disease. She never

found a suitable heart for replacement, resulting in her fragile health condition.

“If I hadn’t suddenly become his fiancee, he would have been with Grace a long time ago,” Celia thought to herself.

Dominic showed a frown before responding, “I understand. Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me because I’ll get paid after the surgery,” Celia said.

She only answered his questions out of a sense of duty as a doctor.

Dominic’s gaze darkened as he observed her aloofness.

“Celia, what kind of person are you?”

He was curious as to why she was so different from before.

Celia replied with a smile, “We’re already divorced, so none of this is relevant to you. I don’t think I have to answer your questions. You should pay more. attention to the people you care about.”

Dominic bit his tongue. He wanted to say something more, but she had already. begun to walk away.

Her departure was marked by a sense of confidence and independence.

Leon rushed up to Mr. Dawson and said, “Mr. Dawson, Miss Murphy has awoken. She’s been crying and is desperate to see you.”

“Got it,” he said, his eyes darkening slightly.
