Chapter 45 Do heart change?
Last Updated:
2025-02-23 13:48:01This time, it was a male doctor with glasses, in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face.
Seeing Henry’s panicked expression, he adopted a familiar tone and said, “How old are you? Why are you still fussing like a child? This is a hospital, not a railway station where you rushing to check tickets.”
Henry, with a playful smile, used his usual charm reserved for elders, seemingly unfazed by how incongruous it appeared for a man over six feet tall. “Special circumstances call for special treatment,” he replied.
The doctor glanced behind Henry and asked, “Changed your girlfriend again?”
Adriana opened her mouth to explain, but Henry cut in, “Uncle Smith, let’s not worry about that now. Treating the patient comes first.”
He pressed Adriana into the chair and stood slightly to the side. “She has a fever—thirty-nine degrees,” he reported.
Smith Jones gave Adriana a brief

“Do people change their hearts?”Calvin had wondered this more than once—whether Adriana’s heart had changed or if she had been acting from start to finish.She used to stick to him, doing whatever he told her to do, acting like a brainless puppet. How could she be a lawyer with her IQ? Was she not afraid of getting her client killed?What puzzled him even more was that Adriana had actually been able to get guaranteed admission to NYU, and he wondered if it was because her father had donated a large sum to the University.However, after staying abroad for three years, she was suddenly enlightened.Rose was a bit of a novice when it came to hypnosis, but she was a psychologist and an outsider, so her insights might be clearer.“Would you like to hear my understanding of the matter?”Calvin hummed.Rose didn’t dare to ask for more specifics, for fear that prying into his privacy would be

Not prying into privacy and strictly adhering to the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement were Rose's greatest assets, allowing her to follow Calvin for an extended period without drawing suspicion.The second time she attempted to hypnotize Calvin, she found him answering a phone call and had to wait with a glass of warm water in hand.Using a combination of a woman’s intuition and a psychologist’s analytical mind, Rose deduced that the person on the other end of the line was likely a woman.Calvin’s tone remained flat and distant, though not as guarded as usual, suggesting the caller wasn’t a workplace associate.Then…As Rose continued guessing, she heard Calvin say, “What do your parents mean?”She couldn’t hear the other person’s response, only Calvin’s reply: “I’ll communicate with Grandpa about this.”There was a long pause, during which Rose assumed the caller was speaking at length. Calvin eventually responded, “Are you getting married for the elders or for yourself?”The

Meanwhile, the nurse came in to remove the needle, waking Adriana from her sleep.Adriana’s eyes fluttered open, heavy with fatigue. Her body felt limp, her head buzzing. “Can I leave the hospital once the drip is finished?” she murmured.The young nurse, who had checked on her several times to ensure she didn’t miss the time to remove the needle, smiled faintly.She had secretly admired Adriana’s beauty during those moments of quiet observation.Henry, the first male god of the hospital, was a favorite among the nurses and female doctors. They competed to bring him coffee, chocolates, meals, daily necessities, and even clothes.Yet, despite their efforts, it was known that Henry already had a formal girlfriend.Colleagues often speculated: if Dr. Charles were to make his relationship public, how beautiful and extraordinary must the woman be to win his heart?When she saw Adriana, the young nurse understood. Yes, only a woman so beautiful and so temperamental is worthy of Dr. Charles.

Calvin flicked the ash from his cigarette, his expression growing colder and more severe.“Dr. Charles. Lawyer.”The pieces of information formed a clear picture: Henry and Adriana.Calvin yanked the car door open but slammed it shut again before stepping out. His mind churned.Adriana was utterly shameless. She couldn’t even spare her ex-husband’s friends? And she wouldn’t bother clarifying any misunderstandings, even as rumors spread?Was she trying to secure influence over the hospital by cozying up to Henry? Was she so addicted to the power that any man in her orbit became a pawn?Serves her right, he thought bitterly. Falling ill was probably the cleanest way for someone like her to meet their end.Calvin stubbed out his cigarette, but the anger continued to smolder inside him.His phone rang, interrupting his dark thoughts.“Speak,” he snapped, his voice sharp.On the other end, Kevin hesitated, sensing his boss’s foul mood. Gritting his teeth, he pressed on. “President, we’ve d

Kevin pondered, finding it a little difficult to speculate. He said, “Miss Clarke, you helped the Grand Empire win the lawsuit, and your professional ability has been unanimously recognized. To be honest, our company’s legal department is also in need of talents like you. The president is probably trying to recruit you, hoping to find an excellent lawyer like yourself.”Adriana laughed. “The Grand Empire’s Legal Department doesn’t seem to lack excellent lawyers. Not to mention, you already have a fixed pool of talent, and it’s usually law firms scrambling to win Grand Empire’s bids. Are you really worried about a lack of talent?”Kevin replied politely, “Yes, so I’m not entirely sure what the president is thinking. Maybe he simply appreciates your talent, especially since you’re someone he knows from the past. To be honest…”Taking this opportunity, Kevin continued, “The president is usually extremely busy with work. A lot of things go unattended. Just now, we were on the phone discus

Only after completing the discharge procedures, did Adriana sent a message to Henry.Henry, exhausted from a late-night surgery, slept sprawled out. It was half past nine when he saw the message.Grabbing his phone, he ran toward the first floor, “Adriana, where are you?”Adriana was on her way home. She hadn’t changed her clothes from the night before and couldn’t wait to give herself a thorough shower. “You’re awake? I heard from the nurse that you had a several-hour surgery yesterday. Go get some more sleep.”“I’m a grown man; a few surgeries won’t kill me. Why did you leave without telling me? I still wanted to have breakfast with you. There’s a small restaurant in front of the hospital. Their grilled sandwiches and corn soup are very tasty.”Adriana thought to herself, If I’m still eating breakfast with you, won’t your coworkers have even more misunderstandings?“You should explain our relationship to your coworkers so it doesn’t get too awkward,” she said.“They’ve got tongues i

“You bastard! How dare you bully my Adria?”Snow cooperated by chasing after Aidan and beating him up.After the mess, they took their seats.Aidan sat on the stage, humming, just in time to serve as background music for the chatting duo.Snow looked toward Aidan, making sure he couldn’t hear their conversation, and asked, “The lawsuit between you and your ex-husband is over, right? I saw on the news that Grand Empire won the case. Does that mean you won’t have much interaction with him in the future?”Grand Empire attracts attention, and with him, the chicken and dog, the name of Justice Law Firm also holds weight. But as an acting lawyer, Adriana's name wasn’t mentioned by anyone.Adriana picked up a piece of apple, slowly biting into it. “There’s a little bit of finishing work left. Once it’s done, there won’t be any involvement with him. The lawsuit wasn’t as difficult as I imagined, and Grand Empire didn’t make things difficult for me. It was just a false alarm.”Snow said, “That

Aidan said, “Just say directly that you are free tomorrow.”Snow replied, “Am I not allowed to be euphemistic?”Adriana suggested, “Why don’t we get together tomorrow? I haven’t gone back to New York to look around the neighborhood yet.”Aidan said with disgust, “Your cold is still not over, and your nose has been dripping all night. Do you still want to go out? Stop. Let’s go hiking when you get better to give you some exercise.”Snow looked at Adriana, who had put on light makeup, but it couldn’t hide the gauntness of her eyes. She looked sickly, like she had been abused. “Baby, you’re at least a lawyer, part of the elite class. Can you not be so shabby?”Adriana wore a long spring dress with long sleeves covering the backs of her hands. The skirt was ankle-length, and she stepped on five-centimeter thin heels, which were moderate.Snow could tell that the dress was two seasons out of date.Adriana didn’t want to sell herself short, but she did seem a bit stingy with herself.Previo

“Huh?”Kevin thought he’d misheard. “Green Lake Village? The village you went to yesterday, President?”“Yes,” Calvin replied. “Especially the house on the hill—Tony’s place. Fix it up for the old woman. Send some furniture and get everything properly arranged. You can take care of the details.”Adriana glanced at his serious profile as he focused on driving. Her earlier embarrassment vanished in an instant, and her heart gave a subtle flutter.Kevin’s brain short-circuited for a second, then quickly caught up. “Understood, President. I’ll contact a construction team and arrange everything on site.”The call ended, and the car fell silent again.Adriana touched the bridge of her nose. “Um, I’ll thank you on their behalf.”Calvin chuckled. “Is the next thing you’re going to say, ‘You’re a good person’?”Well… that was almost exactly what she was about to say. But saying something like that now? With everything going on? It felt… a bit out of place.Calvin added, “You can say anything y
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 299 An awkward situation
Calvin looked at her as she instinctively reached out, her slender fingers curling with tension, knuckles protruding from the force.“Lawyer Clarke,” he said, “if you want something, just say it straight. There’s no need for adults to play games.”Adriana awkwardly lowered her head and cleared her throat. “Calvin, please watch your words. Can you not always say things that make people misunderstand? Like this morning, and just now—what exactly did you mean? Is there nothing else in your head besides that?”Calvin responded casually, “Which sentence did you misunderstand? Misunderstand what? Lawyer Clarke, please be specific. Maybe I’ll consider changing.”Adriana clenched her teeth and rolled her eyes at him, but couldn’t bring herself to explain further. “In short, it’s uncomfortable to hear.”When they found the car, Adriana was ready to hop into the driver’s seat, but Calvin pulled her toward the opposite side and shoved her gently into the passenger seat.“Be honest—sit. I’ll driv

Calvin’s identity couldn’t be exposed. Once everyone knew he was the president of Grand Empire—the young master of the Walker family—wouldn’t that cause chaos?That was Adriana’s first reaction.Before she could speak, her body had already moved. She stepped in front of Calvin in a flash, blocking him protectively, and said calmly, “I am his personal lawyer. If there are any problems, I’ll handle them.”Calvin looked at Adriana. She was a bit disheveled, but still stunningly beautiful. This wasn’t something they had discussed in advance, and yet she had reacted purely on instinct. If he couldn’t see that she cared, then he wouldn’t be Calvin.A faint smile tugged at his lips, like the first rays of a new sun piercing through the morning mist—just enough to gently light up the dull earth around them.The local cops weren’t used to handling major cases. They hadn’t dealt with many lawyers before, so they didn’t question it much in the moment. Adriana skillfully shifted the focus, removi
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 297 What's your name?
She shouldn’t have zoned out on such a special day. Adriana skipped over the topic and looked up at the round patch of sky above her head. “Why hasn’t anyone come yet?”Calvin replied, “The nearest police station is in town. With their efficiency, we’ll be lucky if they arrive before dawn.”Adriana sighed, "Yeah... there are just some things you have to know and accept."“Are you just going to stand there? Planning to turn into a statue?”She patted the dirt next to her, then thought better of it and pulled some hay over to make a rough cushion. “Don’t be shy, big brother. Sit down. Who knows how long we’ll be stuck here?”Scar chimed in, “Those guys are seriously unreliable. Might as well sit and wait.”Hearing a gangster complain about the police made Adriana laugh. “From the sound of it, you’ve had some experience?”Scar scratched his head, embarrassed. “Not too many times…”The cave wasn't big enough to tire Calvin, but sitting beside Adriana and gazing at the sky felt like a mome
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 296 The so-called “520.”
Calvin listened as Adriana half‑chatted, half‑joked, half‑bluffed—effortlessly weaving her way into Scar’s mind and pulling out all his secrets. He couldn’t help but be impressed again.Was the girl he used to know really Adriana?He spoke calmly. “Where’s the rope?”Adriana looked around carefully and had to admit the truth. “The rope was yanked away.”In the darkness, she couldn’t clearly see Calvin’s expression—but she didn’t need to. He was probably frowning. That was one of his little habits. Maybe he hadn’t noticed it himself, but whenever he was annoyed or in a bad mood, he always squeezed his eyebrows together—and the depth of that crease depended on the seriousness of the situation.Scar cursed under his breath. “Son of a bitch! Bunch of assholes!”Adriana glanced up at the cave’s entrance, eyeballing its height, then turned to Calvin.“Can you fly up there?”Scar stared in disbelief. “You… can fly?”Calvin frowned. “No.”Adriana pursed her lips. Her body was exhausted—there
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 295 Are you police?
Scar couldn’t help but feel terrified. Adriana knew he wasn’t a core team member, and she didn’t expect him to hold any key information—but each knock on the door was another ray of hope.Adriana didn’t mince words. “I’m going to ask you a few simple questions. Answer them truthfully. Once we find out you’ve lied, forget saving your life—you won’t even walk out of this place alive.”Scar weighed his options. Based on their words, could they be trusted?However, he had no choice. A good man shouldn’t have to lie—but this woman was right: even if he escaped, his big brother would never trust him again. After a moment, he nodded. “You ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.”Calvin stood diagonally behind Adriana, one hand in his pants pocket, the other ready to protect immediately.The vegetable cellar was cramped and stifling, but Adriana felt as if Calvin’s presence purified the air. Whenever he stood near her, it seemed to grow clear and fresh.“How old are you?”Scar froze. Why is she
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 294 Who the hell are you?
“Ahhhh!”The man let out a pig-slaughtering scream.“Scar! Scar, don’t be impulsive—ahhh!”Scar spat out several expletives. “Damn it! Who the hell are you?!”Calvin said coldly, “You don’t deserve to know.”Scar snapped back, “Bullshit! Trying to scare me? Do you even know who I am?!”Adriana’s limbs were exploding with pain, but through the haze, she quietly wiped some of the man’s blood and smeared it on her clothes, keeping the fingerprints. As long as she got out, they’d be able to identify who he was.In the dark, she groped for her cellphone in her pocket, relying on muscle memory. She found the shortcut key and tapped to begin recording…Now all she needed was for her jaw to recover—then she could ask questions and produce testimony.“Mmm! Uhhh!”Adriana struggled to make any sound, her voice warped into strange syllables. It was harder than she thought, but she didn’t care about appearances anymore. Not now.Sensing her distress, Calvin turned his fury into cold viciousness.

Adriana’s scalp tingled, and she swallowed hard. “That…”She didn’t have claustrophobia, but staring into the depths of a dark pit with no visible bottom was still a little creepy. Who knew what might be lurking down there?And it wasn’t winter anymore—global warming was real. The winter insects were waking up. What if something alive was down there?The hair on the top of her head practically stood on end.“I mean… let me take a look first.”She turned on her phone’s flashlight and leaned over to peer into the hole. But the beam didn’t focus well—it barely cut through the darkness. There was a corner inside, and she couldn’t see anything beyond it.Calvin watched her small, hesitant movements for a moment, silently amused, before saying, “Lawyer Clarke, it’s only right to dedicate yourself for the sake of justice.”Adriana forced a noble look, half-expecting Calvin to go down himself and gallantly let her stay at the top.She really had thought too much.“You tie the rope to the tree

Adriana didn’t really read Calvin’s Twitter. But the photo that had gone viral, spreading across WiFi and 4G coverage, was impossible to avoid.At first glance, she recognized it. Yes, she had taken it.She didn’t want to remember, because she didn’t dare. The memory of the person who still tingled her nerves would shatter the fragile faith she had built so easily.Her silence was heavy, her gaze vacant. Calvin couldn’t think of anything to say.Adriana looked out toward the mountain that had gone dark. The last remnants of the sun slipped into the valley, casting its light on the other side of the earth and leaving behind long shadows. The sun had set, the moon had risen, and the stars speckled the sky.The darkness of night always seemed to amplify emotions, making people feel exposed and fragile to the point of vulnerability.His questioning was like a sledgehammer striking her heart, edged with cold steel.“It’s been too long. I can’t remember anymore,” she said.As if he didn’t c
