All Chapters of I'm Done Being Understanding, Dr. Scumbag: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Cassandra's POVThe air in the private room suddenly turned cold.The smile disappeared from my husband, Nathan Sidney's face in an instant. "What are you talking about, Cassandra?" he asked.I took a deep breath. "I said that I won't be understanding toward you anymore."A long moment passed before my stepsister, Jessica Jepson, broke the silence. "Why are you mad, Cassie? Nate's a doctor. It's perfectly normal for him to treat a patient.""We're having a family get-together today," Dad chimed in. "Why are you saying such nasty things? It's not easy for Nathan to get time off to spend time with us. Why are you throwing a tantrum right now?"My stepmother, Janice Ferguson, pulled Jessica into her arms. She smiled and said, "Pregnant women usually have short tempers. I hope you weren't startled by her, Jessie. But she's really something else. She thinks that she's the boss just because she's pregnant."Nathan kept his head down and peeled an orange for Jessica, pretending that he

Cassandra's POVThe next morning, I saw Nathan and Jessica hugging each other as they slept on the couch when I opened the bedroom door.Jessica was sound asleep as she burrowed into Nathan's embrace while Nathan had his arms wrapped around her. They were pressed close together.I picked up the vase on the coffee table and smashed it against the floor. The deafening sound of exploding porcelain jolted them both awake.Jessica was still sprawled on the couch in a daze, while Nathan had hastily scrambled to his feet. He nonchalantly said, "I assumed that you didn't want to see me because you were in a bad mood yesterday. That's why I moved to the couch."Jessica couldn't get used to sleeping on a bed that isn't hers. That's why she also slept on the couch. Somehow, we just… Anyway, you have nothing to worry about. Nothing happened between us."Even Nathan knew how flimsy his excuses were. Jessica hastily put her clothes on before approaching me, wanting to lock arms with me.I tur

Third-Person POVNathan returned home from his vacation five days later only to notice that the house was eerily empty and silent. He didn't receive a reply when he called Cassandra's name.A signed divorce agreement sat on the coffee table."What is this?" Nathan demanded, nearly crushing his phone.He picked up the document and flipped through it several times until his eyes began to sting. It was impossible that he wouldn't recognize Cassandra's handwriting.Nathan gritted his teeth before barking out a laugh. "Amazing! How dare she mess around with me?"He suddenly felt as if he had been ruthlessly toyed with. He had even warned her before he left, telling her that he would never agree to getting a divorce.He tried calling her, but no one picked up. His message failed to send, marked with a glaring red exclamation point.Nathan's temper exploded as he stared at the exclamation mark. The bright red stung his eyes. In the past, Cassandra would reply within seconds whenever h

Cassandra's POV"You just have to dig up the past over and over again, don't you?" Nathan demanded. "Jessica burst into tears because of what you said!""And how does this concern you?" I asked lightly while watering my flowers.I hated that part of Nathan the most. The one forced to suffer was me, not him. But he was always trying to convince me to be kinder and more understanding."I see that you're still as harsh and mean as ever," he said, scoffing. "Is it because you still care about me, Cassandra? If not, why are you still trying to disgust me even though I'm about to get married?"My hand trembled slightly, and I nearly dropped the watering can."Don't think so highly of yourself," I retorted, feeling as if I had heard a hilarious joke. "You should look out for yourself instead. If Jessica finds out that you called your ex-wife on the eve of your wedding, she's probably going to get so angry that she gets a heart attack."I hung up after I was done speaking.…Coinciden

Cassandra's POVNathan was detained for three days for causing a public disturbance. Meanwhile, Jessica was rushed to the hospital to stabilize her pregnancy.However, after he was released from the police station, Nathan didn't immediately seek out Jessica, who had been hospitalized. Instead, he rushed to my shop and blocked my path."I'm planning to divorce Jessica, Cassandra," he said. "She's constantly suspicious and paranoid ever since she got pregnant. I can't take it anymore!"I didn't even bother lifting my head as I organized the products on the shelf. "You also accused me of being suspicious and paranoid when I was pregnant. In my opinion, you don't actually love anyone. You only like the ones who are obedient and don't cause a fuss."We're already divorced. Please stop interfering with my life.""It's not like that. Please let me explain," Nathan mumbled, sounding like he was on the verge of tears. "She has convinced herself that I'm cheating on her. She said that she'
