Chapter 1457
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Seraphina stepped forward and hugged Francine, patting her back reassuringly. âDonât be upset, Madam Francine-this might be a good thing. Now, Stefan doesnât have to take so many risks. Itâs meant to be, donât you think?â
âIâm not sad, but I find it strange that the doctor got into an accident right before the surgeryâ¦â
Francine glanced at the operating room worriedly. âStef will be furious when he finds out, and heâll definitely look into it.â
âUmmâ¦â Seraphina swallowed, her anxiety obvious.
Putting both of his hands in his pockets, Elijah turned to Seraphina with a fake smile. âDidnât you want to stop the surgery earlier, Ms. Murphy? Why do you look so worried then? To be honest, Iâm not sure whether you want him to have the surgery or not.â
âWhat are you trying to say, Elijah?â Seraphina glared at Elijah and snapped, âI donât care about the surgery-l just want Stefan to be safe and healthy. Iâll support whatever he does as long as it helps him get better.â
âReally? Donât forget what you said then,â Elijah said lightly, smiling knowingly at Seraphina.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
âWhat are you saying?â Seraphina scoffed, not worried at all. It was best if she pretended to be considerate and loyal.
Elijah nodded solemnly. âIâm sure Mr. Hunt can be at ease now. Besides, I know youâre sensible since youâre a noble ladyâ¦â Elijah suddenly picked up his phone and said brightly, âWeâre ready, Dr. Wagner. You can start at anytime.â
Seraphinaâs eyes widened and she demanded, âWhat did you say, Elijah? Who did you just speak to?â
Elijah flashed her a wide smile and said casually, âOh, that was Dr. Wagner. I have to be in contact with him since heâs the head surgeon for this operation.â
The blood drained from Seraphinaâs face.âHow is that possible? Didnât he get into a car accident? How did he come here for the surgery? Is this a joke?â
âOh, turns out it was just a misunderstanding. The person who got into an accident was Oscar Wagner, Doctor Wagnerâs younger brother, whoâs a doctor tooâ¦â
âWhat? H-He has a brother?â Seraphina stammered, her face deathly pale. She looked dumbstruck, as if her world had just collapsed.
âOh yes, he has a brother who looks very much like him. I didnât expect that his brother would suffer that calamity insteadâ¦â Elijah suddenly raised his brows and asked curiously, âMs. Murphy, didnât you just get here? We didnât tell you that Dr. Wagner had gotten into a car accident, so how did you know?â
âI⦠I guessed it.â Seraphina turned beet red as she quickly made up an excuse.
Elijah and Francine immediately knew she was lying, but neither exposed her. Francine had known for a long time that Seraphina could be rather scheming and malicious.
Seraphina loved Stefan deeply, which was why she took such extreme measures sometimes. However, Stefan was about to undergo surgery, so it wasnât the time to demand an explanation from her.
