Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 139: The Original Files
Spencer's POV Morning light came through the blinds in thin stripes. I was more awake than the day before, that didn’t mean I felt better. Everything hurt in a dull, constant way, the leg in the brace, the shoulder, the deep pull along my ribs where the seatbelt had done its job. Scarlett was already in the chair when I opened my eyes fully. She looked like she had slept in pieces. “You’re staring,” My voice still sounded rough. “I’m checking you’re still breathing.” She stood and reached for the cup on the tray. “You want water?” “Yes, please." I said. She held the cup and angled the straw and I drank. When she set the cup down I shifted against the pillow and winced. “Hold on.” She adjusted the pillow behind my shoulders, careful of the lines. “Better?” "A little," I said. "I hate this.” "No one in your situation would like it," She said softly. “I can’t even reach my own phone without feeling like I’m going to pull something.” "There," She picked it up from the tray an
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 138: He's Awake
Spencer's POV The light still hurt. Not as sharp as the first time I opened my eyes, but enough that I kept them half-lidded and let the room come in slow. Scarlett sat in the chair beside the bed, her hand resting near mine on the blanket while Sage had stepped out. BShe was watching me, her eyes had dark circles under them. She looked like she hadn’t slept properly in days. “I remember what I said,” I said. “In the kitchen. About you and Nicholas. About why you stayed.” Her shoulders tightened but she didn’t look away. “I remember too.” “I meant some of it.” I said quietly. “I meant that I was tired of watching you look at him like the past still had a claim. I meant that I couldn’t keep being the safe place if half of you was still standing in a different doorway.” I swallowed and the dry catch in my throat made me wince. “I didn’t mean all of it the way it came out. I was angry. I was scared. That doesn’t make the question disappear.” “Spencer..." "I don't want you staying

Scarlett's POV The light in the room seemed too bright for him. His brow tightened against it and lips were dry when he tried to swallow, the movement looked painful. “Spencer.” My voice came out rough. "Where-I...." He blinked slowly. "Where am I?" "You're in the hospital," I said quietly. "You were in an accident, don’t move yet.” He tried anyway. His shoulder shifted against the pillow and his face tightened hard, a low sound left him, more breath than voice. “Stop, please." I put my free hand lightly on his forearm, careful of the line. "Just stay still. You’re going to hurt yourself.” The nurse was already at the head of the bed, checking leads, calling for the doctor in a calm, practiced tone. Sage had both hands on the rail like she needed it to stay upright. Within a minute the room filled with the doctor, second nurse, the soft clatter of a chart against a tray, the squeak of shoes on linoleum. “Mr. Ashford.” The doctor leaned into his line of sight, penlight ready
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 136: The Arrest
Scarlett's POV The federal building fell away behind me as I drove.There was no lift in my chest. No sense of a door finally closing. Konrad’s handcuffs had clicked shut in a corridor that still smelled like polished floors and old power, and the only thing I could think about was the ICU and the man who had not been awake to see any of it. I parked, went up, and walked the familiar stretch of linoleum until the glass wall of his room came into view.Sage was already there. She looked up when I slid the door open, then back at her brother.“Any change?” I asked.“Vitals are steady, they’re bringing the sedation down another step and the nurse said the neurological signs are stronger than this morning.” Her voice was quiet. “He’s still not awake.”I took the chair on the far side of the bed and wrapped my fingers around Spencer’s hand. The IV tape pulled against his skin. The bruising along his face had shifted color again,darker in some places, yellowing at the edges in others. “Ca
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 135: A Warrant
Scarlett's POV The conference room at the federal building smelled like burnt coffee and old paper. Ashfield had the folders open in a line across the table. Richard sat with a legal pad half-filled with dates while Nicholas stood rather than sat, arms folded, eyes on the pages like they might rearrange themselves if he looked away. I stayed in the chair nearest the end of the table, close enough to read the labels. "Here's what we've got," Ashfield tapped the first stack. “Calista to Harris. Payment authorization, confirming message, same window of dates before the river. Emma’s copies and the matching record from the office photos.” "Then there's the foundation," Richard slid a page forward. "Pre-existing. Money already in place before the accident, not after. That kills the ‘reaction after the fact’ defense.” "Then there's the post-accident cleanup, " He said. "communications, the investigation closed in three hours, the people who moved when he spoke. We have the recording a

Scarlett's POVHe’s still asleep,” I said into the phone. “They haven’t woken him up yet. The nurses said they’re bringing the sedation down a little if his numbers stay steady.”“Can we come see him?” Aiden asked."No you can't," I said. "It's the hospital rules. You stay with Lauren and do what she says.”"Tell him we said hi," Valeria's voice was further from the speaker."I will," I said. "I love you both."“Love you too,” Aiden said. “I’ve got them,” Lauren said from the speaker. “Don’t worry about this side, just… keep me posted.”“I will," I sighed. "Thank you.”I hung up and sat for a moment with the phone still in my hand. Spencer’s monitors kept their steady count. The bruising along the left side of his face had darkened since the morning. I pressed my palms against my eyes until colors burst behind the lids.When I dropped my hands, they were standing at the end of the corridor. My parents.I stood up.“Scarlett.” Belinda took a step forward and stopped when I did not mov
