The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 912 A Misunderstanding

“Hold on a second.” Frank thought for a while, and then realized he had indeed received a messagefrom Janet earlier in the day. Unfortunately, he had been too preoccupied with the operation to tellJanet to ask her friend to come on another time.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Elizabeth turned around, perplexed.

“Okay, you jogged my memory. Janet did in fact send me a message, but I was in the middle of surgeryat the time… I do apologize,” Frank apologized right away. He rubbed between his eyebrows and said,“Come inside. I’m going to see how you are right now. How are you feeling…”

Elizabeth cut him off before he could complete his sentence, “Forget it. Dr. Watson, you sound likeyou’re ready to drop. Take a break and relax. I’ll see you next time.”

Elizabeth feared that Frank would tell her something she wouldn’t like to hear.

She had to summon a lot of guts to get herself here. Frank didn’t have the time for her, so everythingwas probably just meant to be.

Elizabeth immediately left.

“Hey…” Frank ran out of his office. He was just about to catch up to Elizabeth when he ran into Wadeagain. Wade’s toolbox was in his hand, but Frank knocked it off and everything inside was suddenlyeverywhere!

“Why have you come back, Wade?” By this point, Frank had no option but to go down on his knees andassist Wade with the tools.

“You owe me money. That’s why I’m here.” Wade, noticing that Frank’s gaze had wandered, looked athim with a grin and remarked, “So you denied that she was your girlfriend, right? Then I guess youcan’t keep gazing at her like that, Dr. Watson. What a lovely young woman she is!”

With that, Frank pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and remarked, “The answer is still no, andshe is not. Keep the change. If the door is damaged again, I’ll be sure to contact you again.”

He got to his feet and set off after Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was presently awaiting the elevator.

Janet texted her to inquire about the outcome and whether or not Frank had recommended any courseof therapy.

Elizabeth did not tell her that Frank didn’t have time for her at all. She had to reassure Janet that shewould take care of herself and then asked her friend not worry about her.

Elizabeth pressed the send button on the message and then entered the elevator. After her, two othernurses entered carrying papers.

“Have you been listening in? Our hospital was experiencing a medical dispute.” Because of their closeproximity, Elizabeth could hear the short-haired nurse’s muffled voice even though she was speaking ata reduced volume on purpose.

Sighing, the shorter nurse said, “In a word, yes. I have an idol in the surgeon who performed theoperation. Dr. Watson. He must be in horrible pain right now. He lost a seven-year-old child whom hehad cared for for four years. I heard the kid had been sickly since birth and had spent much of hischildhood in the hospital.”

“Sadly, there was no way around that. Yesterday, the boy’s condition deteriorated dramatically, and hisdeath was to be expected. The boy’s mom, however, had a mental breakdown and had been harassingDr. Watson, claiming the whole thing was his responsibility. What does any of this have to do with Dr.Watson, though? Everyone at our facility had done everything they could to help save her son’s life,”the short-haired nurse voiced her dissatisfaction. Her voice increased steadily as she spoke.

“Reduce your voice, please. It’s not just us here.” The nurse, who was noticeably shorter, tapped heron the shoulder and winked.

Elizabeth pretended not to hear anything as she continued to fiddle with her phone. She finally realizedwhy Frank looked so down in the dumps when he returned to his office.

Elizabeth walked out of the elevator once the doors opened. She wanted to go upstairs to check onFrank once again, but she heard footsteps coming from the direction of the stairwell.

Frank came running down the steps, his breath coming out in gasps.

He was relieved to catch up with Elizabeth. He gave her the coat and told her, “You forgot to take yourcoat with you.”
