The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius Novel

Chapter 25 You're So Lucky , Doctor Sterling Gabriel's thumb brushed against Emily's sweat - dampened cheek before he even realized it . For a second , she seemed to stir and awaken slightly . Then , a soft , cold laugh escaped her lips . " How could it possibly be you ? Even in my dreams , I'm seeing this jerk ... " It was half her sleep - talking , half a bitter taunt at herself . With that , she abruptly turned over with her back turned to him and pulled the blanket tighter around herself . Gabriel's hands froze mid - air . Jerk ? Was that how lowly she thought of him ?

The next morning , Emily stepped out of her bedroom , only to see Gabriel and Amelia in the dining area . Amelia noticed her and flashed a sweet smile . " You're awake , Dr. Sterling . Gabe knows I love sandwiches , so he got up early to make this for me . " She picked up the remaining half from her plate and warmly offered it to Emily . " You should try it , too . It's really good . " Emily felt her heart sink instantly . In two years of marriage , Gabriel had never once cooked for her . Yet now , he was preparing meals for another woman .

Just as she was about to leave , out of the corner of her eyes , she spotted something else on the other side of the table . It was a plate of pumpkin waffles drizzled with maple syrup and the exact breakfast she'd eaten for years . Her steps halted , and her foot was instantly nailed to the spot . A ridiculous thought couldn't help but creep into her mind - did Gabriel make those waffles specially for her ? Amelia's sweet voice rang out right on cue , " Gabe heard I wanted to try pumpkin waffles , so he made some for me , too . You're so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband , Dr.

Sterling , " she said , elegantly cutting a piece with her fork and knife . Emily gave a self - mocking laugh . It was for Amelia , after all . She'd been overthinking .

She hadn't even noticed when he'd come up behind her . " Have your breakfast before you leave , " he said flatly , his voice completely devoid of warmth . She flung his hand away . " Watching the two of you is enough to kill my appetite .

Once you're finished here , please take your lover and get out of my house . " That afternoon at the medical mission site , Emily was taking an elderly man's blood pressure while a group of elderly ladies gossiped nearby . " Have you heard ? The new five - star hotel in Northport caught fire last night . " " Are you talking about Obsidian International Hotel ? " " Yes . Apparently , it was serious , but luckily , no one got hurt . " Mallory handed Emily a bottle of water and lowered her voice . " Isn't Amelia staying there ? " As if a thought crossed her mind , she gave a sharp little scoff .

" Funny timing . You just signed a lease , and her hotel burns down the same night . Is that bitch pulling another stunt to leech off you ? " Emily's voice was eerily calm as she announced , " She's moved into my place . " " What the fuck ! Does she and Gabriel have no shame ? " Mallory could barely hold back her volume in surprise . Just then , a delicate , wounded voice came from behind them . " Dr. Sterling , how could you gossip about people behind their backs ? " It was Amelia . Dressed in a pristine white dress , her face was pale , and her eyes were red- rimmed .

Gabriel stood beside her , completely shielding her with his tall frame , Amelia quickly seized the chance to continue . " I understand you don't like me staying with you , Dr. Sterling , but you could've just told me that . Why did you have to say such nasty things about me to Dr. Prescott ? " She surely was the most infuriating bitch to exist on earth . Emily let out a low laugh . " I told you to get out last night , didn't I ? Or do you not understand the human language ?

And now , are you expecting me to pretend it never happened ? " Amelia's face drained of color , while Gabriel's expression darkened . " Enough , Emily . Amelia is in poor health , and she can't handle stress . " The moment he spoke , Amelia seemed to receive her cue and gasped sharply , clutching her chest . " Gabe , I - I don't feel well ... I can't ... catch my breath ... " Mallory let out a scornful laugh .

" With a body that frail , what are you even doing out here in the mountains for charity work ? " She folded her arms and took a step closer . " Oh , I get it . Are you afraid that if you take your eyes off him for a second , Gabriel and Emily will reconnect as husband and wife ? So even if you have to fake it , you followed them here to play the devoted lover ? " Her words landed like a slap across both Amelia and Gabriel's faces . Mallory's gaze drifted to Amelia's flat stomach as she added in a pointed tone , " But let me remind you , Ms. Waverly .

With a body that can barely walk two steps without panting or speak two sentences without fainting , you'll probably struggle to bear a child for the Holtons . " X CLOS Likee
