The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 35: His Ex-Wife

Shantelle was getting used to her new schedule. For the past three days, she had been bringing Lucas to school. She had a few hours to rest at home before waking up again to fetch her son, and then she would go straight to work.

What she dreaded, however, was the coming weekend. She was going to tell Lucas about his father. Shantelle wasn’t sure if she was ready for it.

Shantelle had just arrived at the hospital. She rushed to her office when Eana, her father’s assistant, bumped into her.

“Shanty, there you are,” Eana called.

“Eana, I thought you were on vacation. Why are you here?” Shantelle sought. Because her father was always working over the past few years, Eana rarely took a break as well. Thus, now that William was on a three-week vacation, Eana also applied for leave.

“Shanty, I got a call from the Organ Center. They said a patient wanted to be reassessed. The patient requires a heart transplant badly. I left the file on your desk, and ah.” She pursed her lips, saying, “There is a representative from the patient already waiting for you.”

Eana shrugged and added, “I guess they could not wait.”

True enough, when Shantelle arrived at her office, a man in a black suit was waiting for her. The man said, “Doctor Shant, my name is Peter Haris. I represent the patient Briana West. I believe her profile is already in your hands.”

“I have yet to review it,” Shantelle said. “You can leave me your contact number, and I’ll call you when I am done.”

“This is a matter of life and death, doctor,” the man said. “Please, consider reviewing it… now.” The man was demanding, but Shantelle understood. She assumed the patient must be very sick.

It took half an hour for Shantelle to review the patient’s condition thoroughly. Finally, she remembered how the same patient had been admitted to the hospital several times due to congenital heart disease. It did look to Shantelle that the patient required an urgent transplant; however, other patients on the list were equally in need. Some were even in worse condition. Shantelle sighed and said to the man, “I’m afraid, based on my evaluation, Miss West will remain on the same waitlist.”

“Why? We have money. We can pay you to move it. How much do you want? How about five million dollars?” The man curtly said, and Shantelle had to stop herself from retorting in the same manner.

about who is wealthier. It’s about who applied for the list beforehand and many other factors involved. Many patients wait for donors. In fact, an average of twenty patients worldwide die each day, waiting for a donor. We have to be fair to others,” Shantelle said. “And no,

Shantelle said back. “I should also explain that while I can recommend Miss West to be prioritized, this decision will be passed on to management and the Organ Center. Either way, they will nullify my proposal because they will see that her need is not as urgent as the other patients. More importantly, other patients above Miss West had been waiting for years.
