All Chapters of Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Charlotte was startled. Bitten by a dog? How was that possible? She had studied healthcare at university, and dog bites went as deep as the bone. There were a few deep scratches on Jeremy's back, but it looked more like the result of someone digging their nails in.Nails? The words slipped out of Charlotte's mouth. "Did Camilla hurt you?"Jeremy said nothing. He merely put on his white coat and began getting ready for the operation.When Charlotte saw that he was leaving, she got up hurriedly and blocked his path. "Hey, wait.""What else do you want?"Charlotte stood huffily in front of him with her hands on her hips. "Hey, I helped you apply medicine just now, and you didn't even thank me. What kind of attitude is that?"Jeremy finally glanced at her. "You've asked me so many questions for your studies, and you even made me amend the thesis that your supervisor rejected. You've never thanked me for teaching you."Charlotte puffed out her chest and stuck out her chin as she sa

Camilla suddenly thought of something and called Kate. "Have you done the task I assigned you?"Kate replied over the phone, "I've corrected all Mr. Cooper's records in the hospital database and amended all the falsified information he entered, including excessive prescriptions and yesterday's fabricated kidney-donor compatibility test."Camilla nodded. "Make sure it's flawless. We're going to have our family banquet soon, and we can't let Dad find out about all that. If he does, even I won't be able to help Jeremy."Kate paused and asked hesitantly, "Ms. Sloan, do you really mean to say that Mr. Cooper did all this? I don't think he seems like that kind of person."Camilla shook her head. "He doesn't get paid much, and both Charlotte and I are picky with our food. He can't afford it on his salary at all, not to mention the other expenses he has."Even though Dad has explicitly forbidden me from transferring any money to him, my daily expenses require it. Technically, there should

Jeremy drained the cup and placed it on the floor beside him."It's almost time to get off work. Aren't you going home to cook? I'll reluctantly let you catch a ride with me this time." Charlotte pouted, pretending to look reluctant.Jeremy was used to her ways. She always wanted to play hard to get.Actually, Camilla had been like that too when they first started dating. It was just that after she started her own business and later became the CEO of Sloan Group, her personality had become much more well-rounded, and she was much quieter now."That sports car of yours is too cramped. I'm not used to it." Jeremy was being honest.Charlotte was an intern, but her family had given her quite a lot of pocket money. The first thing she did was buy a pink Porsche sports car. He did not know what model it was specifically, but he'd had the so-called privilege of driving it once because Charlotte was an inexperienced driver and had crashed into a stone block. She had called Jeremy and to

"Delivering food to a dog?" Charlotte was startled.She remembered Jeremy saying that he'd been bitten by a dog when she was applying medicine for him that morning, but since when had he gotten a dog?Charlotte suddenly remembered the message Camilla had just sent, and her eyes widened at once.She watched Jeremy walk off and immediately sent a message to Camilla to tattle. "Camilla, Jeremy called you a dog!"A short while later, Jeremy was holding a takeout container of food in a plastic bag.Camilla didn't like eating out either. She normally only ate what Jeremy cooked. However, if there was no time or if she was in a hurry, she would just buy something to eat to tide herself over.Salad and sandwiches were among the few things that Camilla didn't mind eating. That was because it was hard to go wrong with them, as they were made with simple ingredients.Jeremy soon arrived in the basement of the Sloan Group building. It was lunch hour, and several Sloan Group employees had ta

Kate swiftly covered her phone with her hand, but it was too late. Jeremy had heard every word loud and clear."Um… I-I've got it, Ms. Sloan. I'm here at the lobby."Just as Kate was about to hang up, Jeremy reached out to take her phone and put it to his ear.Camilla was still speaking. "Yes. How's Zachary feeling? He must be feeling very disappointed about that kidney no longer being a match for him."I'm going to make time to keep him company when he's discharged tomorrow. Take a look at my schedule and cancel anything that isn't very important—"Jeremy interrupted her expressionlessly. "Camilla."Camilla fell into a brief silence when she heard his voice. "Jeremy?"She had recognized him. "You managed to cook and deliver the food so early. I don't have time to go downstairs, so you can just come up. The elevator by the fire escape goes straight to my floor."Jeremy's expression was calm. Of course, she didn't have time. She had to deal with him while keeping her childhood
