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

Chapter 0037 Arias POV +25 BONUS Aria knew enough about Caleb , the war hero , to know that this group were his children and their spouses .

Id never interacted with them .

Theyd always kept a wide berth from me , but wed seen each other at parties .

Granted , it was from across the room , but we still recognized each other .

Caleb , Id only met once , when Lucian visited him in his own home three years ago .

Even then , the man had been too frail to rise from his own bed .

Ive lived a good life , he had told Lucian then .

But Im ready for the next one .

Hopefully we have many more years with you , my friend , Lucian had said kindly .

My friends are waiting .

Caleb had said , lightly shaking his head .

My mate … shes already there .

Id been expecting this inevitability for some time now .

No one cheated death , not even a war hero .

Especially one who was ready to leave this life for the next .

Yet , with the dour looks on the faces of Calebs children , I was convinced they werent here to ask Dr.

A to help ease their fathers transition .

She has the power to save him , the oldest son Montgomery said .

She has the medicine that extends life .

If she gave it to him , he could live .

When I had met Caleb the first time , I had considered it then , but Id stepped away from being Dr.

A at that time , largely in part because of that medicine and how much trouble it brought me .

Besides , Caleb had seemed so sure , so determined to step into the next life and be with his wife again .

I had thought , at that time , if I had asked him if he wanted the medicine , he would have turned me down .

Three years was a long time though , and death was never easy to face .

Perhaps he had changed his mind .

Has he been brought here ? I asked .

Im sure the doctor would like to inspect him .

If he desires the medicine , surely he can advocate for himself .

He cant , Cathy said .

Hes been in the coma ward for three months .

Ah .

That did make things more difficult , then .

The Healers stabilized him for a time , but his health has taken a turn as of late , said one of the daughters , Christie .

Dangling diamond earrings hung from her ears , sparkling in the fluorescent hospital lights overhead .

She seemed exceedingly out of place here .

Those earrings alone could have paid for most of the treatments the commoners on the first floor were being denied right at this moment .

His Healers say , without this treatment , he doesnt have long for this world , Montgomery added .

Im sorry , I said .

There need not be any sympathy if Dr.

A does her job and administers the medicine that extends life , Christie continued , casting a glare at Piper disguised as Dr.

A in the back of the room .

The poor girl hadnt signed up for this .

Somedays I wished I had never discovered the medicine that could extend life .

It might have been a medical marvel , but the personal costs had been startling .

People were willing to kill for this medicine .

No price was too high Chapter 0037 +25 BONUS Everyo wanted to play at being a god , extending lives here and there .

But there wasnt enough for everyone .

The ingredients were so rare , that a vial took months to concoct .

No one had the patience to wait , not when they were on the edge of deaths door .

This led to resentment and even hate to Dr.

A.

In those last years before my disappearance , Id received many death threats in the form of letters and phone calls .

Some even threatened Cathy , as my friend , since they did not know my identity .

Those had been dark days , and the reason I had given up on my dreams of being a Healer , even an anonymous one .

Because of that break , however , I was able to meet and fall in love with Lucian .
