The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 124: Priority Lane

Following their honeymoon vacation, Shantelle and Evan brought Lucas to the hospital for his regular laboratory tests. So far, Lucas has not shown any drop in blood count. There was little increase, but not enough to allow him to be in public. Lucas still had the same arrangements; staying indoors; homeschooling; and a weekly blood test.

Evan and Shantelle returned to their busy lives in the coming days and followed the same routine. Shantelle’s belly was starting to grow, and along with it, her cravings began to grow as well.

One morning, while Shantelle accepted consults for surgery, one patient walked in with a sandwich. The patient said, “Doc, I’m sorry, I am so hungry. I hope you don’t mind if I eat while we talk.”

Shantelle did not see any problem with her request. She nodded and allowed the consultation to proceed. The patient had lung cancer. She was a habitual smoker that developed a tumor in her early forties.

“Removing your affected lung will still work,” Shantelle spoke, describing the procedure. “It will stop the cancer from spreading through the other parts of your lungs and, of course, to your body.”

As she discussed the surgery, she saw how the avocado spread was seeping out of the sandwich. It just made Shantelle utterly jealous. She just had to ask, “Excuse me, but what sandwich is that, and where did you get that?”

“Oh, Doc, you haven’t tried these? This is the famous steak sandwich at the Blue Cafe, down the street. They made a spread out of mashed avocados.” The woman practically parted the bread for Shantelle to see. “They mix it with tomatoes and onions and have a bit of lemon and then the steak, which is the ultimate heaven. You should really try it.”

“I will definitely try it!” Shantelle claimed.

Through Andy, Evan had sent her some chicken meal for lunch, but after seeing the sandwich, she just could not let it go. Heck, she could not get it out of her head! Her mouth drooled just at the thought of it. So instead of eating her lunch, she asked Andy to drive her to the Blue Cafe, wanting to get a piece of that avocado sandwich.

Shantelle was already fifteen weeks pregnant, and her baby bump was already somewhat evident because she had twins. Plus, she wore a dress that allowed her belly to show.

When Shantelle walked in, she was horrified, seeing the cue to the counters. There were two lines, one for each cashier. In each line, about twenty people were standing! Were they all after the sandwich? It looked like it, seeing how each assisted customer had the famous sandwich in their hand.

She looked around and discovered there was no priority lane. The seniors were standing in the same lane as the other regular customers. How was it possible?
