Semua Bab Beauty Clinic Debut: My 84-Year-Old Grandma On The Table: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I jerked the steering wheel to the side, pulling the car to a stop in front of a newly opened plastic surgery hospital.The trees on either side of the hospital entrance were adorned with colorful ribbons and balloons. There was also a poster prominently displayed at the entrance, featuring a "husband and wife" in scrubs and in the midst of performing surgery.However, it was precisely this poster that instantly ignited my anger.The woman in the poster was my wife, Stella Watson, but the man in the mask next to her was someone else.I stormed into the hospital at once.Just a while later, I noticed Stella and that man standing outside the operating room while being surrounded and interviewed by countless reporters and media. When I caught sight of the man's face next to her, I felt my breath catch in my throat.Wasn't that Drake Fletcher, Stella's brother-in-law?"Dr. Watson! What's the secret to the loving relationship that you and your husband have maintained for so many year

"Cupcake," Grandma suddenly said.That was her nickname for me!I ignored Stella's sudden look of terror and rushed toward Grandma, hugging her tightly."Grandma, you're awake! Wait for me, I'll save you. I'll get you out of here!"My face was completely filled with grief as I took off my coat and draped it over her shoulders.Instantly, murmurs of doubt arose from the crowd of reporters and onlookers."Look, Dr. Watson's face completely darkened! Could it really be that the man is from the reclusive Greene family after all?""I can't be sure, but I did hear that the Greene family had an old lady who was in her 80s too."However, amidst the crowd's murmurs, Grandma suddenly shoved me aside and screamed at the top of her lungs."Ahh! Let go of me!"Grandma looked terrified. It wasn't until Drake ran up to her and hugged her that she finally calmed down."Drake… Drake…"I stiffened, looking as though someone had just poured a bucket of icy-cold water over my head.Drake woul

As the man's booming, authoritative voice faded, the entire hospital fell into dead silence.The sound of leather shoes approaching steadily came from the end of the hospital corridor.The crowd of reporters and onlookers immediately turned around to look, immediately catching sight of a man in a dark blue executive blazer walking in.It was Dad, Dominic Greene.There were also at least a dozen or so bodyguards and officials in suits, looking imposing and intimidating as they walked behind him.Someone recognized him and immediately gasped in shock."Isn't that Mr. Greene, the director of the Department of Commerce? Isn't he also from the reclusive family from Jondavia?""Is he here to back up his son? But his son is fine and dandy…""Are you daft? It's obvious that there's a plot twist here! Maybe that lunatic…is the real Mr. Greene Junior after all!"There may be people who didn't know who the director of the Department of Commerce was, but everyone knew about the reclusive

Drake continued crying his heart out in a pitiful manner, just as he used to cry back when he first came to Jondavia from his little village back then.He had also gotten down on his knees and begged us to take him in, saying that he was willing to do anything.I had felt sorry for him back then and decided to take him in, but I never thought that he would end up causing such a huge disaster for me instead.Drake was a master of pretense. He was only crying now because he thought he was driven into a corner, and it was thus just a desperate attempt to gain sympathy from me.But I had been fooled once in the past. I wasn't going to let myself be fooled again for the second time.Before I could say anything in response, however, Stella, who'd been standing next to me, suddenly rushed up to him with reddened eyes."What nonsense are you saying? There's absolutely nothing wrong with my hospital!"You lunatic! You were the one who seduced me first! How dare you try to throw me under

I never imagined that I would meet Angie again under such circumstances.I sounded a little awkward when talking to her, most probably because it had been such a long time since I last saw her."I guess I'll leave the divorce proceedings to you then, Angie…"Angie took the evidence I handed to her and examined each one closely. A few seconds later, she said in a certain manner, "Don't worry. Just leave it to me."I've fought countless divorce cases—at least a hundred of them. Even without evidence of her infidelity to you, the fact that she's now in prison means that she has no choice but to sign the divorce agreement anyway!"I sighed in relief, feeling the huge burden being lifted from my shoulders at her words. Finally, my marriage to Stella was coming to an end.Yet, I couldn't quite tell if I ought to feel relieved or remorseful at that.After all, I'd just wanted ten years of my youth on someone who wasn't even worth it in the end.But now, I was all alone moving forward,
