CEO Of My Heart 120 120

"I'm not in the mood to remove st.i.tches. I could have somebody else do it. But, I won't. I need an excuse to see that you're still doing well. I'll come to take them out next week. There's no harm in doing it now, but you know. I don't want to. You're in enough pain." Wu put the last of her instruments back in her back before swinging it crossbody. The goose sat on her hip looking about as lifeless as Ellie felt. "That will be it for today. I still have some charting to do when I get back to the office and I'll be on call for the weekend. Remember to be good and not do anything dangerous again."

Ellie took Wu's offered hand and laughed. "I'm going to be very boring for a long time, I promise you." 

The doctor's hamd was warm and calloused from years of surgeries. Strangely it reminded Ellie of her mom's hamds. "I am lucky that I enjoy your conpany and there was a good outcome. It does not always happen this easily. I promise you I am no miracle worker. But it does always bring me a good feeling when it does." Wu drew her into a tight hug. "A plus to this whole situation is Wong Industries is funding my center for underpriviledged youth and refugees. I'm very excited I can have a sponsor for my free services so I can make end meets instead of working extra hours. It's a nice gesture after all this. I don't mind that that name will be stamped on all my stationary now. He earned it."

After Wu finished with her reminders and Michael dragged her out. He lured her out, in truth, with the smell of freshly baked cookies. Ellie herself was tempted to have a few but the pain in her back had began radiating to a point that she knew it best time for a lie down. So Henry had paid for her medical bills after all, even after she had told him not to by buying the whole hospital wing. She didn't feel angry. She was glad that others could benefit from this situation than her for a long time afterwards. She liked this sense of showing her he could honor his word amd hers. It made her like him even more. She pulled the pillow around her head—she was so out of her league with this man. 

She finally straightened the pillow and closed her eyes. Ellie felt enormously tired after the whole morning. She felt like she had all this while been floating in a dream and somehow would wake up the next moment back numb in a hospital bed. She was living in her dream castle with a true prince. Henry was everything she had ever wanted in a partner and a husband. She truly thought why she would ever consider leaving him. She was even helping him along in his pursuit of other women. It was a fool's errand to be such a woman. But, she knew if she shone a light on that other road Henry would immediately recoil and lump her in with the woman who just wanted his money. It was true as well. Henry was the head of a multimillion dollar company that was thriving. On the other hand, Ellie Chen was a washed up runner up driver who had no sponsors.h.i.+ps or company to race forFind authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
