Chapter 949 My Wife

"That's right. Well, I'll let you get back to what you were doing. I need to get to work myself." Without much explanation, Sheffield turned and headed for his office.

He happened to meet Horace. The other doctor was on his way to see a patient. Horace whispered, "Dude! There's a girl waiting for you. She said she was a friend. She's been here at least a good half-hour." He pointed his finger at the office.

Sheffield turned and saw a familiar figure through the window.

It was her!

Ignoring the curious looks from his colleagues, he walked up to the woman and said coldly, "It's been a while."

The woman was pretty. And fashionable. Everything on her was high-end, brand-name clothing. "Off the rack" was a foreign term to her. Beneath an ankle-length Khaki coat, she wore a knee-length cream-white dress with a pair of navy blue high-heeled shoes. A black shoulder bag completed the outfit.

Her light brown hair was parted in the middle. It was long, falling about her shoulders. She wore light make-up, brown eye shadow, and purple lipstick.

She smiled and said nothing.

"Let's go!" Sheffield gestured to her. He wanted to talk, but outside the office.

While the other doctors were whispering to each other about them, the woman followed Sheffield outside.

It was December and the temperature was scarcely above freezing. After wrapping her coat about her, she took a look at the man walking in front of her and smiled.

When they came to the corridor leading to the hospital garden, she spoke first. "I get it, Dr. Tang. You're busy. You don't text back or answer my calls. I came here three times hoping to see you. No luck. And today, I must have waited an hour before you finally took the time to visit." There was no blame in her tone, but a trace of helplessness.

Sheffield turned back to look at her. "Yeah, I've been really busy. There something I can do for you?" he replied honestly.

"I moved back. I found a job with a big company, working as the manager of the finance department." Gillian Chi lived here before, then lived abroad for a time. She had recently decided to come bac

thought of Evelyn, his eyes filled with love. "Not just a girlfriend. She's my woman, my wife!"

"You got married?" She raised her voice a little. She sounded like she might go hysterical.

"No."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't married, she still had a chance to win him back.

But Sheffield felt he had to elaborate. "It's only a matter of time before we do tie the knot. We'll have the marriage licenses sooner or later."

Gillian Chi couldn't believe her ears. "Do you love her that much?"

"Of course!" After saying that, Sheffield turned and headed towards his office.

A cold wind blew, stirring Gillian Chi's hair. She felt chilled all the way to her heart.

In a car not far away, Calvert rolled up the window, scrolled to the photo he'd just taken on his phone, and ordered the driver, "Investigate that woman."

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

In the photo, the woman clutched the man's sleeve, and because of the angle of the shot, she seemed to be holding his hand.

The car drove away from the hospital.

That evening, after getting the answer he wanted, Calvert immediately sent the photo to Evelyn.

At ZL Group

Evelyn was in the meeting room, discussing business with several senior executives. Carlos was there as well. She put her phone between her and Carlos.

Her phone buzzed. Evelyn unlocked it and clicked on the message. She couldn't believe her eyes.
