Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 356

356 Courting trouble

“You were here when she treated me like trash, were you not?” Lolita glared at the pretty nurse.

“What is going on?” Doc Matt asked. He had been paying attention to what was being said and was quite startled.

Before Lolita could speak, Doc Amy beat her to it. “When she woke up yesterday, she was making a fuss to see you. I told her you were in the middle of carrying out an important surgery. Later on,

she started throwing a tantrum, we exchanged a few unpleasant words and I had to sedate her so she doesn’t cause damage to her injury, Cause when I checked yesterday, her wound was still fresh,” she frowned.

Lolita snorted at the obvious lies but didn’t say anything. A boyfriend would believe their woman over some other woman who was throwing herself at him anyway, so what’s the need to defend herself?

Doc Matt glanced at Lolita and saw the scowl that lasted on her face for a few seconds before asking, “Why was I not told?”

“After the complicated surgery, you locked yourself in your office and prohibited anyone from disturbing you,” Doc Amy said.

Doc Matt stood up from his seat and instructed, “Send her in for a full body check–up.” Doc Amy said her wound hasn’t healed after two weeks which was weird but he didn’t want to open the dressing

just yet.

“Yes, Doc.” The pretty nurse responded before they wheeled Lolita out of the VIP ward into Doc Matt’s office.

His office is so large that it contained everything except an operation theater.

After Lolita had undergone a full body check–up, he found that everything was fine with her body. However, there was something weird he wanted to confirm.

The bullet had hit her squarely in the heart. It was a miracle that she survived it but why was there no sign of stitches on her heart? After pulling out the bullet, he stitched that place and also removed the

stitches.

Before Doc Amy could see what he was looking at, Doc Matt requested that Lolita be taken out of the scanning machine.

“I’ll be responsible for her from now on, you can leave,” he said while attempting to carry Lolita up from the surface she was lying on.

“Doctor Matt, she-” Doc Amy was stunned when she heard that and immediately tried to protest but when Matt gave her a sharp glare, she immediately smiled and nodded.

When they left, Doc Matt carried Lolita in a princess style and took her to the only bed in the office. It was Doc Matt’s bed.

“Take off your shirt,” he requested.

Lolita didn’t argue. She was about to take it off but felt a sharp pain in her heart. “Hmm!” She grunted.

“What’s wrong?”

“I felt a sharp pain in my heart when I tried to move my arm.

Doc Matt narrowed his eyes as he thought about the cause for a while but couldn’t find it.

He kept that at the back of his mind and stepped forward to help her take off her shirt. Good thing it was a wrap gown… easy to take off.

Lolita felt a little uncomfortable with her naked chest in full view. She stole a glance at him but the man was busy with what he intended, not giving Lolita’s sexy peaches a lecherous look.

Lolita found herself mesmerized by how stunning the doctor was as he slowly took off her wound dressing.

Doc Matt could feel her hot gaze on him but continued his work seamlessly. After removing the dress, like he thought, her skin was smooth and clear.

Doc Matt felt confused for the first time since he became a doctor. How can a wound disappear? It’s unheard of!

“Did you experience anything while in your sleep?” He asked out of nowhere before staring into her

eyes.

Lolita was startled. The question caught her unaware and she had no idea when he started staring

back at her.

Filled with shame for getting caught, she slowly shook her head before lowering it. How could she still be attracted to him when he has a girlfriend? She bit her lower lip and prayed for the ground to open and swallow her.

Doc Matt’s brows furrowed slightly at her weird behavior but had no time to dwell on that. He has some research to do, so he helped her put the hospital gown back on and make her lie down before

walking away.

Meanwhile, Jeslyn rushed into the hospital without a disguise. When she was informed that Lolita was awake, she didn’t even wait for her husband to finish before running out of the house in her casual NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

house wear.

Hurrying through the passage, everyone who saw her was thrilled. They’ve only seen her on TV and some nurses had seen her before and that was when Brian was brought here but at that time, she was wearing a nose mask and was also well dressed.

Seeing her in white shorts and a man’s black shirt, with fluffy cute shippers, no one could believe the rumor that had been trending for a while now.

Some people took out their phones and started taking pictures from a reasonable distance. She looked worried and excited, plus how she was dressed. It gave people the idea that she was in haste, so they didn’t bother her with autographs and all.

Even though they couldn’t go close to her, some fans were still trailing behind her while their videos

were live.

In no time, she made headlines again without her doing anything meaningful. A lot of fans online

couldn’t stop their excitement. Jeslyn won the hearts of many over her simple outfit. People were like;

“This shows that our VJ Cute is also just a human like us.

While some sparked a conversation, thanks to her shirt.

‘Am I the only one seeing her wearing a man’s shirt?”

‘Our cute Cinderella has a boyfriend?”

Meanwhile, at Fearless Entertainment…
