My one in a million wife [Ashlyn and Lucas] chapter 82
“I know what to do, mum. He promised me he’ll get a divorce. Don’t worry so much. Once he’s divorced,
I’ll make sure he announces our relationship to the public,” Hera smiled.
“Fine then,” Mrs. Chapman subconsciously still felt very uneasy about this matter.
How did my own daughter become the girl that Lucas had been searching for a decade?
Hera was always by my side ten years ago. When did she have a chance to develop any relationship
with Lucas?
She never understood this.
Then again, if Hera could be Mrs. Nolan, surely all the Chapman’s inheritance will go to her.
With a hopeful spirit, both mother and daughter traveled together to the First Hospital.
Hera’s uncle, Anthony Chapman, was sitting next to the bed, chatting with Mr. Chapman, “Dad, I heard
about a great physician here named Dr. Berry. I’ll enquire tomorrow in hope that she be your doctor.
They say that she only does one surgery each month.”

all of you upset me lesser, there might be a chance I could get well sooner.”
“Dad, do you want to listen to Heidi’s recital this morning?” Hera’s uncle immediately took out his mobile
phone and played a video clip.
Mrs. Chapman rolled her eyes when she saw that as she entered the ward, “Anthony, why are you
making dad coach Heidi when he’s still so sickly and needs more rest?”
“Sisley, what are you trying to imply?” Anthony frowned as he tried to justify his action, “I’m trying to
relieve dad’s boredom by playing him some video clips.”
“Grandpa, are you feeling better?” Hera walked towards the bed and asked in a very caring manner.
“I’m alright. All of you go home now and let me have some peaceful moments. I won’t need you here as
there are nurses to assist me,” Mr. Chapman got upset when the family started arguing.
“But grandpa I just arrived…” Hera was yearning for more opportunities to get connected with her
grandfather.

“I know all of you are busy people. You don’t have to come visit so often,” Mr. Chapman hinted while
getting ready to sleep.
Mrs. Chapman signaled Hera to leave the room and she also reminded Anthony, “Let’s all go back and
let dad rest.”
Anthony left reluctantly.
The moment Ashlyn arrived at the hospital, she was called to the director’s office.
“Director, you asked for me?”
The director looked rather awkward while fidgeting his hands, “Dr. Berry, I have a favor to ask.”
“Go ahead. Who is it this time that begged you to get me to do a surgery?” Ashlyn sat elegantly on the
sofa, with her legs crossed, and her pair of inquisitive eyes shining with wisdom.
The director smiled, “I can never hide anything from you, can’t I? Well, he didn’t beg me but I’m begging
you.”

“I have an old friend whom I’ve known for twenty odd years. He’s been very sick and he needs a bypass
surgery. He often gets upset at his own children and grandchildren… you know…” the Director shook his
head, “I’ve performed a check on him personally and I’m worried if others were to take over this surgery.
Why don’t you have a look?”
He passed a copy of the report to Ashlyn.
“Hypertension and diabetes? His condition may need four bypasses so I think Dr. Hendrickson can do it
too,” she looked exceptionally dazzling under the light, gracefully seated on the sofa.
She was wearing a white robe over an emerald, green dress, looking very attractive. Her almond-shaped
eyes always made an impression.
Dr. Hendrickson already had a surgery scheduled in the morning so I’m afraid that it’ll be too much for
him to have another bypass surgery,” the director sighed before continuing his persuasion, “Dr. Berry, I
know that you have a contract with the hospital; you are paid by commission basis only. I know how you
work and I can’t force you to commit to any operation. Usually, I’ll reject on your behalf any additional
request from any officials but this time, I really need your help. Considering that we are colleagues, could
you do me this favor please?”
