My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him-Chapter 11 - Seeking Favor
Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Seeking Favor
The phone buzzed twice, and Alexander Johnson picked it up to see a message pop up on the screen.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he put down the phone, instructing the dean in front of everyone.
"Alright, let's do it like this. But an entire night is really too long. Dean, the hospital has a lounge, right? Find a place to sleep, so Nurse Simpson and I can rest if we're tired."
Lucas Hughes had just finished sending a message when he heard Alexander Johnson say to find a place to sleep.
His face instantly turned green!
Damn it, he's sleeping with his woman and flaunting it right in front of him.
If he could, he would love to charge over and hit Alexander Johnson so hard even his father wouldn't recognize him!
But thinking is one thing, actually doing it is another. Even if you gave Lucas Hughes a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare do such a thing.
"Of course, there is. I'll arrange it right away!"
The dean was delighted to comply, nodding repeatedly.
After speaking, he asked everyone to disperse for a meeting and went off to arrange the lounge situation.
Chloe Simpson quickly got up, preparing to find Lucas Hughes to explain a few things first.
If she waited until after tonight's overtime, another night, he might overthink things even more.
There was already a rift between the two of them because of the wedding night.
"Lu..."
Unexpectedly, just as she got up, a large hand reached out to grab her.
She turned around and saw Alexander Johnson coming closer.
"The dean has already instructed, tonight you're mine. Where are you going?"
Alexander Johnson grabbed Chloe Simpson with one hand, squeezing his phone hard with the other, speaking nonchalantly.
"Young Mister Johnson, please don't go too far."
Seeing Alexander Johnson being so aggressive, Chloe Simpson thought about how she didn't know what would happen tonight, feeling so anxious that her voice choked a little.
Alexander Johnson smiled softly and said, "Too far? Hah, have you thought that if your husband Lucas Hughes knows about me and you, not only will he not blame you, he would actually send you to me to play with every day."
"After all, what I can give him is far too much. For example, position, money, power—things that ordinary people like you could never reach in a lifetime."
"Oh, and women, there are plenty even prettier than you."
Listening to Chloe Simpson's choked voice, he found it extremely grating.
"Yes, of course! Who are you? The Young Master of the Capital Circle! Someone like you, toying with ordinary people like us could happen in just a minute!"
At this moment, Chloe Simpson felt incredibly humiliated, tears welling up in her eyes.
It felt as if she, a married woman, was lying bare on Alexander Johnson's bed, being watched by colleagues, friends, and family.
The moment she finished yelling, tears also fell.
"Stop your tears, leave!"
Alexander Johnson felt the scorching heat dropping onto his hand and was instantly filled with rage.
"..."
Hearing the command to leave, Chloe Simpson did not hesitate further, wiped her tears, and ran out of the reception room to chase after Lucas Hughes.
But once outside, she realized Lucas Hughes was already gone.
She took a breath and ran to Lucas Hughes's clinic office.
"Nurse Simpson, looking for Lucas? He's already gone, didn't he tell you? You don't have to be on call tonight."

Hearing this from the other doctors on call, Chloe Simpson remembered that Lucas Hughes wasn't working overtime tonight.
"Oh, he did, I... I forgot."
She absentmindedly replied and turned to run towards the hospital entrance.
Running while dialing Lucas Hughes's number on her phone.
In the car at the hospital entrance, Lucas Hughes just stared at the lit-up phone screen, looking at Chloe Simpson's call.
Calculating when the call would almost end, he finally answered.
"Hello, Chloe Simpson, what's up? My mom just called to say my aunt's here—I need to go pick her up from the high-speed rail station and settle her in."
"I was just about to tell you. Right, aren't you working overtime tonight with Young Mister Johnson on that feasibility plan? You better get to it; I'm driving, so I'll hang up now."
Lucas Hughes didn't wait for Chloe Simpson to speak, just relayed information to her.
"Oh, okay, be safe."
The words Chloe originally wanted to explain were swallowed back down.
After hanging up, she gripped her phone tightly, feeling vexed thinking about having to spend the night with Alexander Johnson.
No, she couldn't continue like this.
She had to make a quick end with Alexander Johnson and return to a normal life.
But with Alexander Johnson's power and position, if he wanted, she feared she'd be under his thumb forever.
Holding the phone, she squatted at the hospital entrance, thinking of countless ways, exhausting herself but not finding a feasible solution.
While holding her head in anguish, she overheard a conversation between two nurses not far away.
"Hey, did you hear? An nurse in our hospital hooked up with that Johnson Family Young Master."
"What? Are you talking about the Johnson Family, the tycoon of Kyohai?"
"Who else would it be? Supposedly, the nurse is a married woman."
"No way, being single is one thing, but being married... I can't understand women like that, even if they're materialistic, shouldn't they consider their family, their parents?"
"Exactly! If that got out, her friends, colleagues, would all gossip. How would she face anyone? How would her parents face anyone?"
"Yeah, I'd never dare—just thinking about the horrible consequences..."
At this point, Chloe Simpson could no longer listen.
Her mind was filled with chaotic scenes of her parents crying and causing a fuss if the affair were discovered, colleagues gossiping, and her life in shambles.
[Chloe Simpson, the hospital arrangements are complete, the dean said to go directly to the administration conference room, there's a designated lounge there.]
Suddenly, her phone beeped with a message from a colleague in charge of investment at the hospital.
Seeing "administration conference room" made Chloe's heart sink.
For some reason, one thought flashed through her mind.
The administration conference room was in building 10 at the far end of the hospital, usually unvisited.
Staff there, unlike the medical staff, followed a nine-to-six routine, going home after hours.
Being there tonight, no matter what Alexander Johnson did to her, no one would know.
Even if she were played to death, no one would save her.
Her heart shattered instantly.
In that moment, she felt like a lamb driven to the edge of a cliff.
She got up and ran madly to the administration conference room.
As she opened the door and saw Alexander Johnson, she fell to her knees with a thud in front of him.
"Alexander Johnson, I beg you, can you spare me? I'll do whatever you want if you just let me go."
She bent over with her head lowered, pleading almost with bone-deep humility.
"Heh, would you also be willing if I wanted you awake, spending all night pleasing me with every position like on your wedding night?"
