Surgeon's Revenge: From Ex Wife To Country's Best Doctor 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

Nicholas's POV Ashfield called while I was still in the parking structure outside the hospital. “There’s a procedural window before Konrad’s hearing,” she said. “You can speak with him privately. There'll be no lawyers unless he requests them and you don't have to go." I sat with the engine off and the phone against my ear. I did not want to go, not because I was afraid of him. Because I had finally reached the point where I did not know what was left to say that the paper had not already said for me. “What happens if I don’t?” “It's nothing procedurally," She said. "This isn’t a requirement, it’s an opportunity the process allows. Some people take it while some don’t.” “I’ll go,” I said. "Okay then," she said. “I’ll have someone meet you at the entrance.” I hung up and sat for another minute before I turned the key. I pulled out into traffic and drove toward a room I had spent most of my adult life avoiding. A guard checked my identification twice at the entrance, logged th

Scarlett's POVThe room was small and plain with just a table, two chairs and camera in the corner with a little red light.Ashfield waited outside the glass with some officer who didn’t introduce himself. They’d told me I could leave whenever I wanted. I sat down anyway.Calista was already there. She didn't look like the woman I'd imagined, not broken in a way that made you want to hand her a tissue, just... stripped. No jewelry, hair pulled back like she’d stopped caring how it fell. The old confidence, the way she used to walk into a room like she already owned the argument, was gone."Scarlett," she said.I didn’t say her name back. I waited."My client would like to..." Her lawyer started to speak.“I asked for this," Calista said, cutting him off. "Let me talk.”He sat back. She took a breath.“I’m not going to waste your time with an apology you don’t want,” she said. "You deserve to know the truth, the real one."Which is?" I asked “Konrad knew before the accident," She kep

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

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

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
