Abusive Wife

Chapter 152

At the corner of a long table in the dining hall, Dr. Dylan Felch was admiring an extremely rare celadon vase Andy had brought over. The colors of the vase were striking, and the details exquisite. As an avid antique collector, Dr. Dylan was completely mesmerized, unable to take his eyes off the vase.

“Andy, this is an absolute beauty!” Dr. Dylan exclaimed in awe. “Look at the glazing, and the workmanship!”

“Dr. Felch, it’s yours if you like it. We’re both men of science after all, and we work for the same boss. I’ll have plenty of favors to ask from you in the future,” Andy was straight to the point.

Although Dylan was indeed captivated by the vase, he was not one to easily make friends or promise favors. However, Andy’s words did remind him that they do in fact work for the same

people. He was old buddies with Noah, Andy worked for Madeline, and Noah and Madeline were practically family! Hmm, there was no harm in accepting a gift like that, was there?

“You’re too polite, Andy! As you said, we’re practically family! I’ll accept this vase as a token of your friendship. Please feel free to visit my lab whenever you can!” Dylan said.

“Sure thing!” Andy smiled back. “Any friend of Madeline is a friend of mine! Please come and visit me at my hospital any time, buddy!”

“Of course, of course!” Dylan replied cheerfully as he put the vase back into its casing. The two doctors then began engaging in conversation about current medical issues and advances. However, as they were chatting, Dylan felt an ominous chill down his spine, as if

someone was observing him from behind. As he turned his head around, he came right into contact with Elise Lambert’s face, giving him the fright of his life!

“You… what sorcery is this?!” Dylan clasped his hand to his heart.

“Oh, just a little mugwort and salt,” Elise played along. She planted one leg on the chair next to him, like Napoleon the

conqueror.
