Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“I’ve had breakfast, Darling. I’m getting ready while waiting for the pickup.”

In the morning, Alex was seen chatting with Aurora over the phone. As usual, he provided updates on what he was doing while they were apart.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’ve also arrived at the hospital. I’ll start visiting patients’ rooms soon and then move on to the pediatric ward.”

“Okay, then you just continue working for now. I’ll call you during my break. And, what do you want as a souvenir? Tomorrow, before I come home, I’ll make sure to get something.”

“No need. I don’t need any souvenirs. What matters is that you arrive safely, that’s more than enough.”

“Alright then. I’ll head to the lobby now. We’ll continue our chat during my work break.”

Ending his call with Aurora, Alex smiled. He turned to find Nicole cuddling intimately in his arms.

Who said Alex was working today? The man was still lying in bed. Under the covers and in a loving embrace with a woman who was clearly his wife’s cousin.

“You’re really good at lying,” Nicole teased with laughter. Of course, she was mocking Alex’s recent deception of his wife.

“What else can I do? If not like that, Aurora might suspect and figure out what we’re doing.”

Nicole giggled gleefully. There was a feeling of joy and pride because she had succeeded in winning Alex’s heart back to her.

“You claimed to have work today. Yet, here you are having fun in bed with me.”

Alex smiled again. He lifted Nicole’s body to shift her position on top of him.

“Since my office matters were settled yesterday, today you have to satisfy me in bed. Make me crazy by calling out your name continuously.”

Above Alex, Nicole grinned. She leaned down, bringing her face close to kiss and nibble Alex’s lips for a moment.

“No problem. Even if I have to satisfy you multiple times, I’m always ready. The main thing is, before you leave, you have to take me shopping.”

Alex nodded in agreement. It wasn’t difficult for him to buy Nicole various expensive items. And again, he also had to buy something for Aurora as a surprise even though his wife didn’t ask for it. Yes, just to keep up appearances.

“Sure. Whatever you ask for, I’ll buy it.”

Nicole laughed happily. In this situation, she willingly satisfied and complied with all of Alex’s requests.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Velia looked sour. She felt disgusted after overhearing the conversation between Aurora and Alex over the phone.

She should feel happy because now Aurora seemed happier. But, considering her friend was reconciling with someone Velia considered unsuitable, she still couldn’t accept it.

“Over the top! Can’t you two just not be so lovey-dovey in front of me.”

Aurora chuckled. She understood Velia’s attitude.

“Who’s over the top? When you’re on the phone with your husband, you have to speak softly. That’s why, hurry up and get married. So you’ll know what married life is like.”

“No way! I’m not interested in getting married. I’m afraid the guy will be a cheater like Alex.”

Aurora shook her head. Despite Velia’s sarcastic remarks, she wasn’t offended at all. Understanding that her colleague and close friend still didn’t accept her decision to reconcile.

“Doctor Aurora, Doctor Velia.”

At the same time, there was a knock on the door. Turning simultaneously, both beautiful doctors found a nurse who had called them earlier.

“Yes?”

“Doctor Asher asked you to come to the meeting room on the fifth floor right away. He said the doctors from overseas who will be working at Medika Hospital have all arrived.”

Aurora nodded. Pulling Velia along, she urged her colleague to go to the fifth floor immediately. As expected, the new doctors that Asher brought from abroad to help Santa Monica Hospital were already gathered.

Asher even called and asked his brother to introduce himself.

“This is Doctor Andrew, Eric, Lily, and Jasmine.”

Aurora extended her hand, introducing herself to the doctors who would later become her colleagues at the hospital.

“And this…” Asher continued. “Is the new Cardiovascular Doctor who will help me handle patients at our hospital.”

“Aurora…”

That call suddenly made Aurora turn. Scanning the room, she found a man she knew very well.

“Do you still remember me?”

Aurora was silent for a moment. Shortly after, she muttered.

“Alden?”
