From a Divorcee to a Billionaire Chapter 15: Ethan's Identity
As I exited the operating room, my fellow cardiac surgeons congratulated me. "What's going on?" I asked, completely puzzled. "Guess what? Your paper on the application of pulmonary artery catheters in cardiac surgery has been accepted by Ann Thorac Surg. It's even indexed on Medline!" My colleague's words made my eyes widen slightly. Getting indexed on Medline was expected, but being accepted by Ann Thorac Surg, a particularly selective surgical journal, was quite the recognition. He patted my shoulder, looking more excited than I was. "By the way, now that your paper is settled, aren't you preparing for your promotion? If you delay any longer, the dean will have another chat with Dr. Ryan. Holy shit, don't you know your reputation in Cardiovascular Surgery Department? Mr. Aesthete specifically requested you and Dr. Ryan for his care, and you didn't disappoint him. It was perfect!" "I won't deny my expertise, but most of Mr. Edward's recovery is thanks to Dr. Ryan." "Oh, co

It took me a week to prepare all the documents the lawyer needed. During this time, I also managed to sell my house and move to a penthouse close to the hospital, which was one of Grandpa's properties that Uncle Tommy urgently arranged for me.I left all the furniture in the old house for the new owner and had the housekeeper throw away my cheap clothes, shoes, and bags that I had been frugally saving. The only thing I really took with me was myself, a happy Hailey.After moving, the first person I notified wasn't Ethan."Darling, I'm planning a huge shopping spree, and I need someone with impeccable taste to guide me. Who else but you, Lily?"Lily's understanding of the whole situation was stuck in the last century, as she put it herself."We've developed a generation gap."So much had happened to me, and she knew nothing about it. Lily couldn't accept it. "You know, Hailey, I feel like one of Grindelwald's followers who went into hiding after the leader's defeat. And then you s

"Why are you calling me and dragging me out? Why?" Lily complained with a dark expression.I couldn't help but smile and look exasperated. "I thought this was our prearranged itinerary? It's just a bit earlier than planned.""That was before Duncan invited you to dinner! Girl, I've been wondering since college. What's wrong with you? Do I need to hold up your face, two inches away from mine, and state clearly, ideally in French because you understand French, which is universally recognized as a precise language, no ambiguity whatsoever, just to let you know someone wants to date you?"I chuckled at her exaggerated tone. "Of course, I'll find time to go out with Duncan. Two meals might not be enough to express my gratitude.""Choosing the word 'date' was my mistake. Let me rephrase. If I say 'intimate relations between a man and a woman', tell me, now do you fully understand what I mean?""I understand what you mean," I blurted out, "but you're mistaken. Duncan is a great friend, a

I didn't know where Ethan got so many 'creative' ideas. His foreplay was overly thorough. When I was dissatisfied with his dawdling and reached out to pull down the edge of his swim trunks, he stood up with me in his arms."Wrap your legs around my waist."I did as he said, and before I could react, his already engorged dick was fully sheathed inside me.I let out a sharp scream, and Ethan also groaned, panting. "Baby, relax, you're too tight."The yacht had four levels, and he maintained that position, carrying me from the top deck down to the second, with each step I could feel the thing inside me hitting deeper, then shallowly withdrawing, without any rhythm to speak of.I couldn't control my breathing, and to ensure my body's balance and not fall off him, I had to tightly hold onto his neck. As a result, my nipples were pressed against his, rubbing continuously.I couldn't stand it anymore. A tingling sensation was accumulating deep in my lower abdomen, hot and itchy. I wante

"Hailey?" Ryan called out my name from behind.Only when the heart monitor beside Edward on the hospital bed told me that things hadn't yet reached the worst possible outcome did I realize I had been holding my breath. "I'm fine."It wasn't a lie. I found it hard to believe it. Ever since I saw Edward, my heart had been constantly shrouded in fear, but my professional knowledge still managed to call back my rationality.That was right. No matter how anxious I was, I must remain calm. If I couldn't hold up the entire family and protect Edward's life at this critical moment, what had I really learned in my twenty-eight years of life?I sat beside Edward's hospital bed, holding his hand."I assume you've already taken anti-heart failure measures for Mr. Edward?" I asked Ryan.He nodded. "ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics, hoping this will improve his cardiac function and prevent heart failure attacks. But these are only temporary measures. You should also be very clea

Hanging up the phone, I found Ryan again. He was organizing medical records at his desk, and he was taken aback when he saw me, his expression unnatural as he asked, "What's wrong?""I need to take full care of Mr. Edward's health, and I can't take care of other patients now." I heard my calm voice. "I will complete the handover of work within two days. The scheduled surgeries will continue as usual. Please rest assured. I will not affect the current pace of work in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department.""I'm more worried about your situation." Ryan sighed, putting the medical records aside. "I can understand your feelings, Hailey. Mr. Aesthete is like a grandfather to you. Don't worry. We will arrange the hospital matters well. I will prepare the registration and assessment for the heart transplant. You have to hurry up.""Thank you," I said gratefully.I decided to temporarily live in the hospital to closely monitor Edward's condition. The atmosphere was very bad, and the doctor

It was a big blow to Mr. Lesley to see his precious daughter on the entertainment news headlines in a very embarrassing and terrible form.Out of politeness, maybe I should go forward and comfort a few words but I was afraid that as soon as I opened my mouth, I would say, "In fact, it's not just the entertainment news headlines, because on Wall Street, the financial section will also squeeze out a small space to visit your daughter and my ex-husband's intimate photos."So that was why I said I was nothing like my mother. I would use such methods to vent my dissatisfaction. It was all Leo's fault. He kept taking from me, yet was stingy with emotional value, not even a bit.He also chose betrayal. From blocking me on Instagram to the Gala on my birthday, from behind the scenes to in the open, he trampled me thoroughly inside and out.Mr. Lesley was a man who could distinguish between urgency and importance. He apologized to me and had a brief and very unpleasant conversation with Eli

Duncan arrived with the speed of lightning. Before the police had even escorted Leo away, I was already greeted by the figure of my exceptionally skilled lawyer at the hospital entrance.He was the one to inform me before the police could utter a word. "Leo has violated the restraining order, which is a criminal offense. He will be arrested and face criminal charges."The police officer overheard and corrected him. "It's potentially facing criminal charges."Duncan expressed his gratitude for the officer's reminder, and when he turned to me, his eyebrows twitched ever so slightly. I understood his message instantly. For us, it was a certainty with a probability of one hundred percent because he was Duncan.In reality, Duncan had been delivering documents to the courthouse and decided to drop by the hospital to check on my condition. Seeing that I was indeed fine, he was about to leave.As we said our goodbyes, he unusually closed the gap between us, and we shared a brief embrace a
