The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 154: New Hairstyle

Days came and went.

Lucas had his bad and good days, undergoing chemotherapy, but despite the side effects of the drugs, he withstood it all. The good news was he had not caught any infection during the process. His isolation was perfectly well followed, allowing continuity in his treatment.

With everything going smoothly, Doctor Patel confirmed the cord blood transfer in two days.

The family was happy. Lucas was excited. Having that cord blood transplant meant they were halfway closer to achieving their goal.

While Evan stayed with Lucas, James, his assistant, did a lot of work for him. In the past ten days, he traveled across the state, went to Russia, and manned up to support his boss in Evan’s trying times. However, there were matters that James felt he was not empowered to question, like finances. Especially since Evan’s Chief Finance Officer, Griffin Hernan, was adamant about being on top of it.

Griffin Hernan was Erick Thompson’s apprentice when he was running the company, but he was only given the CFO position since Evan, the next heir, naturally took over the CEO seat.

During one of the man’s video conferences with James, Evan saw how stressed his assistant had become. James said, “It’s just like the numbers are not adding up, Sir, especially with the financial entity, but Mister Hernan is saying otherwise. I can’t overrule him.” 1

“And by the way, Sir, the Lockwood Children’s Hospital would like to get an update on when the new isolation rooms would be renovated,” James reported.

Raking his fingers through his hair, Evan groaned. He glanced at Lucas, who had been trying to follow a drum routine on TV. He said, “Son, can you call your Uncle Keith?”

“Sure, Daddy!” Lucas turned to the TV and instructed, “Hey, g-o-o-g-l-e, call Uncle Keith in messenger!”

The messenger rang, and Keith answered in seconds, “Hey, Lucas, boy! How are you doing?”

“Hi, Uncle Keith. I’m doing better today. The last chemo wasn’t so bad.” Lucas stood in front of the TV. He took a full turn and said, “See, I’m okay.”

“Good to see. I miss you, Buddy!” Keith said, winking. “Your aunt Karise is having a baby girl, by the way!”

“Yay! She can be playmates with Amelia!” Lucas concluded.

Keith nodded and said, “She will be.”

“Dad wants to talk to you,” Lucas revealed before returning to practice on his drums.

“Hey Evan, how is isolation going,” Keith said. “I see you growing your beard. Tsk. Tsk. Careful now, Shanty might find another man.”

“She won’t! She loves my beard!” Evan declared before shaking his head. He then asked, “Keith, can you please check on the Loockwood Children’s Hospital? My hands are tied.”

nodded, saying, “Yeah, that would be great.

Mister Hernan was tongue-tied and followed Evan’s orders, for the man’s directive was definite. Then, he called his other best friend, Sean. He asked,
