The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 74 I Have a Crush

Adrian didn’t shy away from the topic. “I happened to witness your car accident at the restaurant earlier, so I took you to the hospital.”

Lysander felt a sense of relief.

She had expected Adrian to perhaps express romantic feelings…

The dean chimed in, “It’s wonderful that you two are acquainted. It expedites the process of getting to know each other. With your skills, our hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department will surely thrive!”

“Dean…”

Lynn, who was standing in the corner, spoke up timidly. “You came to see Dr. Thorne about this?”

“Yes. Why else? Dr. Thorne is exceptional at her job. I wouldn’t come here to cause trouble for her, would I?”

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. That’s good. I thought—”

“What did you think?”

“It’s nothing. It’s nothing. Haha. I thought Dr. Thorne’s work was so outstanding that you were going to promote her and give her a raise.”

The dean stroked his chin and remarked, “Actually, I have been contemplating that. But I have hesitated, considering Dr. Thorne is already married. I fear she might announce a pregnancy one day and need to take time off for childbirth, which could be troublesome…”

“You needn’t worry. Dr. Thorne is divorced. She won’t become pregnant.”

Lynn blurted out, then quickly covered her mouth upon realizing her mistake.

The dean looked at Lynn in surprise, then at Lysander. “Divorced?”

Lysander felt a bit embarrassed and nodded. “Yes.”

“When did this happen?”

“During my annual leave.”

“Why though? You seemed to be doing well. Your husband even used to drop you off and pick you up every day. How did the divorce come about?”
