All Chapters of The Doctor’s Voluptuous Patient : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41 The night of the party came faster than I wanted. I stood in front of my mirror for almost thirty minutes, staring at my reflection. I had changed outfits three times already. Nothing felt right. Every dress either felt too tight, too revealing, or not “appropriate” enough for a Black family event. In the end, I settled on a simple black dress that hugged my curves without being too flashy. It stopped just below my knees, and I paired it with a soft cardigan to cover my arms. My hands were shaking as I applied my lipstick. I didn’t want to go. Every part of me was screaming that this was a bad idea. But Ethan had asked me to stand beside him, and after everything we had been through, I couldn’t keep hiding. When he arrived to pick me up, he looked handsome in a dark navy suit. The moment he saw me, his eyes softened. “You look beautiful,” he said, stepping closer. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me in for a slow kiss. “Absolutely stunning.” I gave him a sm

Chapter 43 The next day at work, I was still trying to process everything that had happened at the party. My mind kept replaying the confrontation — Richard slapping Ethan, the shocking appearance of Damien, and the way Ethan had looked at me afterward like he was carrying the weight of his entire broken family on his shoulders. I had barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Damien’s face. The resemblance to Ethan was so strong it was unsettling. And the fact that I had no idea Ethan even had a brother — a brother who lived in the same house as him — still left a strange feeling in my chest. I was restocking supplies in one of the medication rooms when I heard footsteps behind me. I assumed it was Ethan. He had texted me earlier saying he would check on me during his rounds, so I didn’t think twice. Without looking back, I turned around with a small smile and stepped forward, wrapping my arms around him in a quick hug. “Hey,” I said softly. “I didn’t expect you to come fi

Chapter 45 The surgery was already tense from the moment it started. It was a complicated trauma case — a young man who had been in a severe car accident. He had massive internal bleeding, a ruptured spleen, and his blood pressure kept dropping dangerously low. The operating room was filled with the usual sounds of monitors beeping, instruments clinking, and urgent voices calling out vitals. Ethan was leading the surgery, calm but focused under the bright lights. I was assisting as one of the scrub nurses, along with two other nurses and Carla, who had been assigned to the case as well. I tried to stay in my lane and focus on my tasks, but I could feel the tension in the room. Ever since Ethan had promised me he would deal with Carla and Ryan, I had been on edge, wondering how and when he would do it. I didn’t have to wait long. Midway through the surgery, while Ethan was trying to control heavy bleeding, he suddenly turned to Carla. “Carla,” he said, his voice sharp but profes

Chapter 47 The day after Ryan Hayes was escorted out of the hospital by security, the atmosphere at Mercy General felt heavier than usual. Whispers followed Ethan wherever he went. Some nurses avoided his eyes, while others gave him quiet nods of respect. Everyone knew what had happened in that conference room. Everyone knew Ethan Black had been the one to finally bring the predator down. Ethan didn’t care about the whispers. His mind was already on the next battle. He had just finished his last round when he stepped into the quiet corridor leading to the doctors’ lounge. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead. Most of the staff had gone home for the evening, leaving the hallway eerily empty. Ethan loosened his tie and ran a hand through his hair, exhaling slowly. He needed a moment to breathe before heading home to Lila. She had looked exhausted when he dropped her off earlier, and he hated leaving her alone even for a few hours. He pushed open the door to the lounge and stopped.

Damien sat across from me, hands clasped together, and for the first time since he’d shown up at Ethan’s place, I actually believed he wasn’t here to start trouble.“I’ve seen them,” he said. “Not read them, just seen them. There’s a folder in dad’s office, locked cabinet behind his desk. Labeled with some code, not the drug name, but I know it’s the trial. He doesn’t trust anyone with that stuff, keeps it close.”Ethan leaned forward. “Locked how? Combination or key?”“Key. He carries it on him, but there’s a spare in his assistant’s desk, second drawer, under a bunch of old memos. I saw it once when I was looking for a stapler.”I sat there listening, arms crossed, already not liking where this was heading.“So we need to get into the office, find the spare key, open the cabinet, and get the documents out without anyone noticing,” Ethan said, like he was reading off a grocery list.“Right,” Damien said. “And dad’s office has cameras, but they’re only active when he’s not in. His ass
