My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him-Chapter 8 - Recalling Madness

"Alright, Young Master, I'll keep an eye on the investment process at Ansun Hospital."

With his back to him, Alexander Johnson didn't see his young master's expression. Jack Woods nodded and left.

As the richest man in Kyohai, the Johnson Clan Investment Bank naturally acted swiftly.

The Ansun Hospital investment plan passed the meeting at ten in the morning, and the process was completed by eleven.

By eleven thirty, Ansun Private High-Grade Hospital in Kyohai, where Chloe Simpson and Lucas Hughes worked, received the notification.

Suddenly, the entire Ansun was in an uproar!

"Heard someone invested a hundred million in our hospital."

Lucas Hughes had just come out of the lounge to grab lunch when he overheard the doctors in his department chatting.

He rubbed his temples and walked over, "What's this about a hundred million?"

Seeing him exit the lounge, a colleague remarked, "Hey? Lucas, didn't you have the night off last night?"

"Don't bring it up. It wasn't supposed to be my shift last night; a patient came in unexpectedly. Such a mess! Played with some red bouncing egg thing and got injured!"

"The whole sponge was covered in blood, and he was in such pain! Insisted on seeing the chief physician, so I stepped in. Turns out, the blood was just liquid from the red bouncing egg. Laughed my head off."

Recalling last night's incident, Lucas felt it was ridiculous.

"Ah, you've been promoted to chief physician, so you'll have to bear with it."

"Yeah, look at Old Harriton, he's lost all his hair from stress, and he still isn't chief physician. And that Trent, his family is loaded, yet even with all the bribes and connections, hasn't made it!"

"But it's poor Nurse Simpson who's been left alone right after her marriage."

After some banter between the two, they teased a bit more.

"I just got lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. By the way, so what's this hundred million investment about?"

Lucas didn't mention Chloe at all, pretending he hadn't heard, and continued asking about the hospital investment.

Since coming back from the cruise, he really thought he'd gotten better, that he could do it.

But after trying numerous times without success, even watching countless films, nothing helped.

He was even troubled at one point, thinking only the sound of Chloe being with another man on the cruise worked as stimulation.

But without a word from Alexander Johnson, he dared not make any rash moves. His mind was a mess, and he certainly didn't want to discuss anything about Chloe.

The two colleagues didn't notice anything and continued talking about the investment.

"A hundred million investment, don't you know? All we know is that the director is frantically preparing, saying the investor is coming in the afternoon."

"Look, here they come!"

As they chatted, all three received a WeChat notification.

[Important Notice! After the end of today's shift, all non-duty medical staff should gather in the hospital's conference room!]

Of course, Chloe Simpson also received the notification.

At six in the evening, Chloe, Lucas, and other medical staff went to the conference room together.

Just after sitting down, she suddenly remembered she had left her phone outside the operating room.

Since the investor wasn't arriving until seven, she thought she had some time and went back to fetch it.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned toward the corner of the conference room, a large hand pulled her aside.

"Alex... Alexander Johnson?" Seeing who it was, Chloe was utterly shocked.

"Chloe, what's with that expression?" Alexander Johnson gazed at her with amusement, a playful look on his face.

"You're the investor of that hundred million... it's you?" Chloe only felt panic, her words stumbling over themselves.

"Yes, it's me. What? Surprised? Or did you think after that night on the cruise, you'd have no further encounters with me?"

With a sarcastic smile, Alexander reached out and gently hooked her chin.

"!" Instantly, Chloe's face went pale.

Did Alexander know she was the woman from that night?

Wasn't he still asleep when she left that morning?

It was also dark that night; he...

For a moment, her mind flashed with various thoughts. But in the end, remembering one thing, she laughed.

Had she forgotten who he was?

Alexander Johnson, the Young Master of the mighty Johnson Family, the richest in Kyohai. Finding out who she was should have been as easy as lifting a finger.

"What are you thinking? Hm? Reminiscing about the thrill of my betrayal on our wedding night?"

Seeing her silent, Alexander leaned close to her ear, casually speaking while pinning her against the wall.

His warm breath spilled across her ear, the familiar scent invading her senses, reviving the wildness of their wedding night in an instant.

"Alexander Johnson, why did you invest in our hospital?"

Chloe couldn't help but breathe heavily, her mind suddenly flashing a dreadful answer.

Could it be that Alexander invested the hundred million because of her?

No! Who was she really?

A married woman, how could she cause such a commotion for the Young Master of the Capital Circle?

And then, Alexander's thin lips moved slightly, and she felt as if all the blood in her body stopped flowing.

"What if I told you, it was for you? After all, I never really liked women, so getting to know one was quite something."
