The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 51: The Threat

“Are you sure you are okay?” Shantelle asked as she lifted Evan’s shirt from the

back. There was a big red mark above his hip, suggesting blood had pooled in that area, forming a nasty bruise. Not only that,

he had scratched his forehead, and he

admitted to hurting his arm.

“I’m fine. I protected my head, but my arm hurts,” Evan said, turning to his right arm.

Still, I can move it.”

Earlier, after the encounter with the

motorist, the hospital security team tried to race after the motorbike, but they failed to catch the rider.

Evan was brought into the Emergency Room (ER) for evaluation. He insisted he was fine, but Shantelle would not let him leave. After all, he did somehow save her from the

collision.

Shantelle turned to the ER nurse and

requested, “Put him through a CT scan, to be

sure.”

Evan forced himself up from the hospital bed, saying, “Shanty, no. I think I’ll live. What I’d like to do is talk to security and maybe watch the surveillance. Clearly, that motorbike was aiming at you -”

“Will you stop thinking about others and focus on yourself?” Shantelle shot back.

“Don’t be disobedient and listen to the

doctor,” Shantelle ordered. She turned to the nurse and gave the same directive. “Put him through CT scan now.”

Evan had no choice. The doctor’s orders were definite, and Shantelle would not give him a discharge order. Besides, he was rather pleased about Shantelle’s sudden concern. Transferring to a wheelchair, he remarked, “I’m at least glad you still care.” (1

into dinner.

When Shantelle entered the room, she was surprised to find Doctor Park, taking a call from her office landline. “Yes, the next patient in line is Bri -”

“Doctor Park, what are you doing here?” Shantelle asked, her brow raising. “Whose that on the phone?”

She saw how Doctor Park paled. Her eyes widened in shock. “Doctor – doctor Shant, you’re okay?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Shantelle asked, fully baffled.

“Oh, I mean. You’re back! I thought you had already left, and I heard your phone ringing. Your office was still open, so I answered the call,” Doctor Park explained.

Shantelle thought back. She had instructed the nurse in charge to lock up her office, but perhaps it was a miss on the nurse’s part. It was also her fault for rushing out with Evan
