Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 149: A New Beginning
Scarlett's POVSage would not stop fussing with the veil.“If you touch it one more time I’m pinning your hands to the chair,” I said, with one bobby pin left between my teeth and Sage's hair half-pinned.“It’s crooked," She said."It's not crooked," I said. "I have a medical degree, Sage. I know how to make hair symmetrical.""A medical degree in surgery," she said. "Not cosmetology.""It's the same hands," I said, and jabbed the pin in a little harder than necessary, and she yelped, and I grinned at her in the mirror. "See? Perfectly straight now that you're not moving."She caught my eye in the mirror and laughed, a little watery. "I can't believe I'm doing this," she said."You've had four months to believe it." I said."It still hit me about ten minutes ago that I'm about to walk out there and marry my almost sister-in-law best friend," she said. "Which somehow makes him my brother-in-law and my husband at the same time, and I genuinely don't know what to call him at Thanksgivin
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 148: I Approve
Spencer's POVI woke before she did.Everything hurt but none of it was enough to make me regret a single minute of last night.Scarlett was still asleep beside me, hair loose on the pillow with one hand curled near my chest. I watched her without the old question sitting under it 'will she leave, is this temporary, am I the safe option.' She was here. She had said she chose me. She had said she loved me.I tried getting out of the bed, a hot line of pain shooting up from the knee, and I bit down a curse and tried again.“What are you doing?” Scarlett's voice was rough with sleep."Trying to get up," I said."With what, optimism?" She pushed up on an elbow. "Lie back down.""I'm fine." I said flatly.“You’re pale and stubborn, same combination as last night.” She sat up, the sheet slipped down her bare chest and pressed her fingers against my chest. "You shouldn't be moving, before you break something we'll spend two days fixing."I let out a breath and settled back against the pillow
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 147: I Choose You
Spencer's POV"You should be in an actual bed," she said, standing up from the sofa. "Not a recliner with your leg propped on an ottoman like you're eighty years old.""I've been in an actual bed for three weeks," I said. "I liked this chair. I missed this chair.""You can miss it from upstairs tomorrow." She held her hand out. "Come on."I let her pull me up, one hand braced on the arm of the chair until my leg agreed to hold my weight. She got under my arm on the side that didn't hurt and we went up the stairs like that, one step at a time, her matching her pace to mine instead of the other way around."This is humiliating," I said, halfway up."This is temporary," she said. "Keep walking."We made it to the bedroom. She helped me get my shirt off and eased me back against the pillows, and then she came around and lay down beside me, careful, her head finding my shoulder instead of my chest.The lamp on the nightstand was the only light on, the house had gone quiet around us."I tal
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 146: It's Over
Scarlett's POVThe nurse was going through the discharge folder page by page when I got there and Spencer sat on the edge of the hospital bed with his hands braced on either side of him."Twice daily with food," she said, tapping the page. "Not on an empty stomach, it'll make you nauseous and this one..." she flipped to the next sheet"...only if the pain gets above a four. Don't take it just because you're bored of the first one.""Noted," Spencer said."Follow-up in ten days," She said. "If you get fever, if the incision site looks red or feels warm, if you have shortness of breath...""I go straight to the ER, yes," he said. "You've said this three times.""I'm saying it a fourth time because people stop listening after the third," she said, not even glancing up.He exhaled through his nose. "I've had surgeons operate on me with less paperwork than this."The nurse looked over at me, folder still open in her hands."She's a doctor," she said, nodding toward me. "She'll keep you in l
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 145: The Sentencing
Scarlett's POVThe courtroom was fuller when it was time for the sentencing. More reporters in the back rows, more people I didn't recognize crowding the benches, all of them here for the part everybody actually shows up for, the ending.Calista was already seated when they brought me in. She turned her head and found me almost immediately, like she'd been waiting for the sound of the door. I didn't look away. I didn't nod either.Konrad came in a few minutes later.Nicholas sat beside me, very straight, hands flat on his knees.The judge came in and everyone stood and then everyone sat back down."Ms. Lancaster," she said. "Please stand."Calista stood, her hands were shaking, just slightly, at her sides."On the count of conspiracy to commit vehicular sabotage, this court sentences you to fourteen years." The judge didn't look up from the page. "On the count of financial fraud related to the concealment payments made to Mr. Harris, an additional four years, to run concurrently. On th
Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor Chapter 144: Guilty
vScarlett's POVThe courthouse steps were wet from rain that had already stopped by the time we got there.Nicholas stood next to me with his hands shoved in his coat pockets, and he hadn't said much since we'd gotten out of the car. "You're quiet," I said.He kept looking at the doors. "I keep thinking about the same thing.""You don't have to defend him anymore," I said."I guess you're right," he said.I nodded and we went inside together.The courtroom smelled like old carpet and floor polish maybe. Ashfield was already up front, talking low with Richard. Emma sat two rows behind the prosecution table, hands folded so tight in her lap her knuckles had gone pale, not looking anywhere near the defense side of the room. I sat where Ashfield had pointed. Nicholas sat beside me, close enough that his knee touched mine.Konrad was brought in through a side door a few minutes later. He didn't look at Nicholas. He didn't look at me. He sat with his back very straight.The prosecutor stoo
