The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 127
Alex's tone was grave as he warned, "Until then, absolutely no intimacy. One wrong move and it's straight to the ICU."Having his delicate wife by his side, able only to look but not touch—that alone was torture.Chris gave a wry smile. "I've been a monk for five years; this can wait. But the sooner the transplant, the better."Every time Adriana tried to get close and he made excuses to refuse, it gnawed at him. He was a normal man, with normal desires.Especially when he brushed against her, or caught her scent—her subtle fragrance invading his senses—his desire gnawed at him like tiny ants, crawling through his bones and flesh, relentless."You still need more observation before we can confirm if the transplant is feasible. Be patient," Alex said, then glanced down at Chris's long legs."And your legs—when do you plan on letting them recover?""When Dean becomes the loser," Chris muttered, gripping a pen tightly, pressing the tip over and over.In truth, he had nothing to fe

Before the end of the workday, Adriana was summoned to Chris's office.Seeing Chris's stern expression and the woman beside him with red, puffy eyes, Adriana knew she was about to be grilled. She poured herself a glass of water and sat down deliberately, waiting for them to speak.Chris caught sight of her calm demeanor, and much of his irritation melted away, softening the lines of his face."Adriana, this is the Slater Group. If you have an issue, you can come to me directly."Adriana looked up, silently waiting for him to continue."Joan's team member—just chatting—said a few things you didn't like. You took it to Sanctity and pressured them to take action."Chris paused, noticing Adriana's expressionless face, and instinctively furrowed his brow."You've never abused your influence before. This stops here. Don't stir things up again."The disposable cup in Adriana's hand crumpled under her grip, collapsing into a wrinkled heap. She glanced out the window at the city lights

Adriana set down her fork and walked over to Madeline Whitrose.She planted both hands on the table, leaning forward, eyes locked on Madeline."Which eye saw that?"Caught off guard, Madeline stammered, "I—I don't understand, what are you talking about?""My hearing's been sharp since I was little. Next time you talk bad about me, make sure you're at least a mile away."During the six months she bounced between relatives' homes, Adriana had honed her ears. One missed word back then could have meant a beating."But there won't be a next time."She tugged Madeline's work badge toward her and glanced at the name."Resign on your own later, or I'll sue you for defamation. You should know Sanctity's legal department never misses."Some people were misled by public opinion and were used without realizing it. But this one was pure malice. When Joan spilled the soup, Madeline was across the table, still far away, and she had deliberately spread lies.Madeline went pale. "I didn't do

Lunch hour at Slater Group's cafeteria.Adriana ordered half a portion of vegetable salad and half a portion of pasta. She carried the tray to an empty table and sat down.No sooner had she settled than whispers started at the next table."Look, it's that homewrecker who stole from Joan.""How shameless. How dare she come here and flaunt herself like that?""Mr. Slater doesn't even care. This morning, he wanted Sanctity to replace her, but she's got a thing with the Sanctity boss, so they wouldn't budge.""Just a fake face—what's the big deal?"Adriana gripped her fork so tightly her wrist ached."Why are you eating just this?"Chris sat across from her as Lucas placed his tray of food on the table.Adriana didn't lift her head. "Not hungry," she answered casually."No wonder you've lost weight."Chris smiled lightly, peeled a shrimp, and placed it in her bowl.Adriana frowned at the memory of the earlier whispers but forced a sweet smile. "Thanks, honey. This tastes great

Joan spoke up at just the wrong moment. "Chris, maybe we should ask Sanctity to assign someone else?"Another seasoned Slater Group technician frowned. "Yes, Mr. Slater, this isn't a casual matter. Better be cautious."Adriana crossed her arms against the back of her chair and silently rolled her eyes."How well do you really know me? On what basis do you think I'm incapable?"Chris looked at her, his tone hesitant. "Adriana… this project is very important, so—"Adriana's eyes flicked to Joan, a sharp, mocking glint in her gaze."She can lead Slater Group's side of the project despite not being a tech specialist. How could I be any worse?""Joan is familiar with the business and has excellent leadership skills," Chris explained patiently. "She doesn't handle technical work, unlike you." He motioned for Lucas to contact Sanctity.Brian Ridgewood, one of Sanctity's technicians, couldn't hold back and spoke up. "If Miss Adler isn't up to the task, then only Oliver could step in—bu

"Mr. Slater, the special technical team from Sanctity Group has arrived.""Mm, have Miss Hill go greet them."Chris uncrossed his long legs and rose from the sofa, settling into the wheelchair behind his desk. He smoothed the cuffs of his suit. The pure black custom fabric highlighted the paleness of his fingers and the austere sharpness of his face. His expression was calm and unreadable.Lucas acknowledged him and quietly closed the office door behind him.Joan had long been ready. She was the lead on this collaboration. Carefully adjusting her earrings and reapplying lipstick to ensure a flawless finish, she intended to impress Adriana's colleagues. After all, her lover was the chairman, her ex-fiancé the CEO—here, there was nothing she couldn't have.A seven-seater SUV rolled to a stop, and Slater Group staff quickly moved to open the doors. The leadership had stressed the importance of this project; it was a key part of Slater Group's strategic transformation.Adriana nodded

Adriana felt a tightness in her chest. Chris was an impossibly proud man, and every time she heard his self-deprecating words, her sorrow mirrored his own.Her lips trembled as she murmured, a little dejectedly, "Chris… you know I never thought that way.""Then prove it to me."Chris's eyes darke

Daisy studied Edward, a flicker of something unusual passing through her eyes. The boy looked far too much like a member of the Slater family."Mhm, I gave birth overseas," Joan said.She gently nudged Edward toward Daisy. "Edward, hurry up and say hello to Daisy.""Hello, Daisy.""So adorable,"

Daisy sat in the back seat of her luxury car, lost in thought.The driver spoke respectfully. "Madam, sir asked that you return his call."Daisy took her phone from her bag and dialed Dean."Chris isn't pretending to be sick. His face was extremely pale, and he barely had the strength to speak. I

"Where's Adriana?"This was the first thing Chris said after being moved to the general ward. His eyes swept across the room, but all he saw were Joan and Edward."She had something to do and left early this morning," Joan replied, blowing on the spoonful of porridge before feeding him."Dr. Nash
