The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 160: Brooklyn’s Request

### FLASHBACK: TWO DAYS BACK ###

The drive home from the hospital was completely silent. Brooklyn was behind the wheel, often sighing in dismay and tears welling in her eyes. It was clear to Sean that the doctor’s assessment of his progress disappointed her.

Sean’s day shift caregiver, Pete, was giving him a worried look. He immediately said, “Mister Ross. I’m sorry, but I have things to do tonight. I can’t do overtime.”

It no longer surprised Sean. When he hired the caregiver, the young man was eager to render overtime, but when Pete often caught him and

Brooklyn fighting in the past few days, he started to decline to stay longer.

With Pete heading home early, there would be three hours gap for the next caregiver. Worse, Pete was off the next day. This meant that Brooklyn would have to sacrifice more of her time to attend to Sean, and lately, that had been the source of their quarrels. If that wasn’t enough, they sometimes argued about his old friends too.

Brooklyn felt utterly stressed about their situation. Because Sean had to go to the hospital for daily therapy, and his body was still recuperating from two surgeries, he could only offer a few hours of his time for work.

His wife especially disliked it if Sean could not clean himself in the bathroom, and this was especially true during the first week since his discharge. 3

Aside from that, there was so much maintenance that Sean had to do, like cleaning his wound regularly, applying the medication, and monitoring his vitals.

Sean had suggested they hire a new senior accountant to help cover for his absence, but at the same time, Brooklyn was keeping the expenses tight. She didn’t think it was necessary. She also had the same opinion about hiring a third caregiver for Sean.

There was a moment when Brooklyn suggested that Sean stay with his parents, but he disagreed. They were husband and wife, and they should live together. In fact, they were supposed to be in their honeymoon stage, but they were far from it. Moreover, what will his parents think of his wife? That she was returning him to them? Sean was worried about what his parents might think of Brooklyn. That was how much he loved her.

When they arrived at their villa, Pete helped Sean to his room. He prepared Sean’s medication and assisted him into his shower wheelchair. Then the caregiver left. Sean could tell Pete was afraid of the upcoming confrontation between Brooklyn and him.

The newly married couple did not have maids staying with them overnight. It wasn’t necessary yet for them since they did not have kids. Thus, they were alone. Brooklyn was mainly on her own to help Sean.

Sean started to undress. He tried to put on his knee shower cast cover, but it proved difficult. When he asked for Brooklyn’s help, she did it in silence. Then she suggested, “Maybe you are not trying enough to get better, Sean. You need to tolerate the pain, you know.”
