His Ex-Luna Is A Famous Doctor by Caroline Above Story Novel

Chapter 0024 Arias POV The news took me a long moment to process .

Long enough , it seemed , for Cathy to grow worried .

You okay , sweetheart ? Cathy asked , stepping closer to re These past two days , Id started having pregnancy reactions to things .

As a Healer , I knew this was an Inevitability , but knowing about it did not make it more comfortable .

Im going to be sick , I managed to get out .

With Cathys helped , I rushed to the bathroom , where I proceeded to attempt to upheave what was in my stomach .

Cally took away my mask and held back my hair.

Inside of me , my wolf moved to offer me what comfort she could .

This shift in her attention caused my scent to reappear and my hair color to return to its lighter brown hue .

When my dry heaving had passed for the moment , I sat back on my haunches , Cathy peered down at me , worried .

Im fine , I told her .

This doesnt seem fine , Cathy replied .

Its normal You still ared to test .

What about the party ? I asked .

Forget the party .

I was wrong before .

Here you are getting sick and Lucians nowhere to be found .

Forget him and his family .

You just go to bed and get some rest , He wrote please , I reminded her .

It was the one detail of the invitation I couldnt put out of my mind .

I dont care if he included a check for a million dollars , Githy said .

As if realizing she was getting too angry , she breathed in a deep breath , and then let it go .

Its not right .

Why would Lucian want you there , when hes never paid you any attention before ? Maybe hes coming around , I said , that treacherous bit of hope returning to my heart .

Careful , Luna Warned in my mind .

He will hurt you again … Maybe … Cathy hummed , like she thought of something else but was loathe to say it aloud .

Cathy ? I prompted .

Im just wondering I dont know .

Maybe he has some doubts about your identity ? He almost recognized you that first time , and then with the incident at the bar .

Maybe tonight is some kind of test .

Shock struck through me .

If Lucian knew about my appointment tonight , then Cathy could be right .

Lucian could be laying a trap to see if both Arla and Dr.

A could be accounted for .

You might be right , I said .

Softer , I added , I dont want to reveal my identity yet .

Cathy was quiet for a moment , then replied , Are you still insecure about that years incident ? Yes , I admitted , though it pained me Another silence fell between us , where we both became lost in our thoughts Chapter 2024 +25 BONUS Eventually , Cathy spoke up once more .

Piper is still at the hospital .

Her figure is fairly similar to yours , Aria , and shes loyal enough .

Perhaps we can ask her to disguise herself as Dr.

A by wearing a mask .

She could pretend to be you at least enough to be seen .

That would throw Lucian off my trail for a while , but only if Aria was What about the family gathering ? I asked .

Cathys brow crinkled .

I could go for you ? also seen I appreciated Cathy , but there was no way she could pass as me , at least in front of people who knew me intimately .

Lucian certainly wouldnt be fooled , and neither would his parents .

Ill go myself , I said with a sigh .

Lucians parents have always been very good to me .

I should visit them once before the divorce , if only to say goodbye .

As long as I appear at the family gathering , while Dr.

A is seen at the hospital , nothing should be exposed , and my secret identity would remain safe .

#Are M you going to be okay ? Cathy asked , concern clear on her face.

Someone needs to look out for you , but I wouldnt be able to get in as your plus one .

Those alpha parties are so strict … I understood her concern , especially as we were still standing in the bathroom after Id just gotten sick .

I must have looked like hell , too pale and sweating slightly .

Suddenly , the doorbell rang Are you expecting someone ? I asked her .

No , she replied .

Wait here .

Cathy turned and disappeared down the hallway .

Curious , followed behind , careful to stay behind the corner , so as not to be immediately seen when she opened the front door .

As she did , pulling the door inward , Cathy revealed Jasper waiting outside , wearing a sharp tuxedo .

I was surprised , having never seen him dressed in something this formal .

Surprise ! Jasper said , smiling wickedly .

That mischievous grin was attractive and tempting .

Undoubtedly , it had broken many hearts .

Ive heard theres a lady in this house who is going through a divorce .

I thought , Id love to act as her new boyfriend … Why are you looking at me like that ? Its you ! Cathy said .

Grabbing Jasper by the lapels , she pulled him into the house .

Uh ? Jasper said , somewhat speechless by Cathys aggressiveness , an odd look on his face .

She pushed him over to the couch .

Wait here , she said .

He obediently sat down ..

Stay , she said .

That mischievous smile started to return .

Yes , maam .

Cathy , rolling her eyes , stormed out of the living room .

Catching me in the hallway , she looped our arms together and led me back into my bedroom .

Chapter 0024 +25 BONUS Letting go of my arm , Cathy immediately went into my closet and rifled through my dresses .

I rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then went to help her .

She had already gone through most of the rack by the time I rejoined her .

She was sliding through my dresses .

quickly , making a disgusted noise at each one .

These will never do , Cathy said .

Whats wrong with them ? I asked .

They are so conservative .

Dignified , I corrected .

For three years , Id tried my best to appear as a traditional housewife .

To events , I wore dresses with high collars and long sleeves , boxy outlines .

They werent flattering but they werent meant to be .

At those times , I had not wanted to embarrass myself or draw attention away from my husband .

Boring , Cathy replied .

At the end of the rack was the final dress I owned , my secret favorite .

It was somewhat rebellious and sexy compared to the rest , but Id always wanted to wear it .

I had felt so good when I had tried it on .

Cathy pulled the dress out of the closet .

Why not be bold tonight ? I hesitated .

My first impulse was to be respectable so as not to draw attention .

But did that really matter tonight ? Try it , Cathy said .

While I call Piper .

After accepting the dress , Cathy stepped out of the room .

While she was gone , I pulled on the dress , then quickly did my hair and makeup .

The dress was a red with only one sleeve , the other shoulder was bare .

The silky fabric hugged my curves closely , and the length went to mid thigh .

Looking in the mirror , I felt like a sexier version of myself .

Someone I hadnt seen in the mirror in a long time .

With my makeup and hair ready , I stepped out of my bedroom .

Looking for Cathy , I walked into the living room .

Id totally forgotten Jasper was waiting there .

Seeing me , his eyes went wide .

He whistled , then smiled .

… Wow .

Lucian is certainly in for a surprise today .
