OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 26: They Don't Have Time to Lay Eggs.

"Mommy, why there are so many eggs at home but none in the kindergarten?" Rebecca Roberts asks, looking at Alice with her large watery eyes.

"Stupid, the eggs are eaten by the quick ones!"

"..." Albert Robert is indeed stronger than Rebecca. Alice Roberts didn't think there would be this kind of problem in the kindergarten she chose. But it seems that some domestic kindergartens do cut corners. They didn’t put eggs when cooking scrambled egg with tomato! What the hell!

But she could not tell the little babies the truth for she doesn't want them to have a bad impression of their hometown.

"Because the hens have been very busy lately and they don't have time to lay eggs, so your teachers couldn't buy enough eggs. Tell mommy if you want to eat eggs and I’ll cook for you."

"Really?" Albert frowns and looks very confused, but he tries to act normally which makes him strange.

But Rebecca Roberts seems to believe her and nodded heavily.

Alice Roberts takes a relief. No wonder they all say the kids get a zillion questions.

_________

Alice goes to work as usual then, she and Julie Swift - a cheerful nurse she just knew, are perfect partners now.

John Blake sees lot more smiles on Alice's face when she gets along with Julie Swift and he is very happy about that.

"Dr. Roberts, Mr. Collins in the VIP ward calls you."

"Ok, thank you."

Alice Roberts just finished the routine inspection, she finds Mr. Collins' medical record in her office and reads them as quickly as she could.

It's been a few days after the last check, Mr. Collins resumes to a normal diet gradually and the indicators of all aspects are back to normal. So it seems that he can be discharged within several days.

Looking at the medical record, Alice Roberts unconsciously picks up the thick black-rimmed glasses on her table and puts it on,

After finding out that some of her patients are very flirty after seeing her, she decides that it would be better to make herself look ordinary for the sake herself and the patients.

After all, even the most upright man will be awkward seeing a beautiful lady checking his genital.

The black-rimmed glasses and her bang makes her very cute, and her rosy lips make everyone want to kiss her.

But she doesn't notice it.

Dressed in the white coat, Alice Roberts comes to the VIP room alone. When she opens the door, she is a little amazed by the view of a tall man's back.

Dressed in white shirt and black trousers, he is slim and straight, with a figure of over 6 feet. Maybe only Edward Smith is comparable to this man in terms of the figure, Alice thinks.

From where she stands, she can see his hard and handsome profile. He must be here to visit Mr. Collins.

It's just that there's an eerie silence in the room.

Suppressing the curiosity, Alice Roberts coughs on purpose and steps gracefully to Mr. Collins' bedside, asking in a serious tone, "Mr. Collins, I have seen your indicators, everything is ok. And the urinary system..."

The tall man hears her voice and turns around slightly to look at her.

There is nothing special about the woman with the black-rimmed glasses except her fair skin. But somehow, watching her talking so calmly about the urology system makes him a little interested.

"When could he be discharged?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The deep voice makes Alice turn her head to look at the man. For a moment, she is shocked by his eyes. These are very beautiful eyes, even with a sense of magic.

"Huh?" The man is slightly displeased because of her distraction.

"Sorry, if there is no other problem, he can get discharged the day after tomorrow." Alice Roberts turns her eyes down and reminds herself that he's just a handsome man. It's nothing.

But the man keeps staring at her, making her feel queasy.

Alice Roberts doesn't like that feeling and wants to leave quickly.

"What's your name?"

Alice frowns, "Sorry, if there's nothing else, I should go to check other patients"

With that, Alice turns away, leaving the man with a back full of precautions.

"You called me here just for this woman?" Kevin Collins says in an inpatient voice. It's just a female urologist with average looking. Is it worth calling him from the company?

Lying on bed, Randall Collins stares at his son who stands in front of him and frowns, "Can't you just settle down and don't make so many troubles!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll go."

Then Kevin Collins walks away before Randall says something. However, what's happening in the corridor stops him.

"Where have you been?"

Stopped by the man who suddenly runs up to her, Alice Roberts refuses to answer his stupid question. With a cold face, she says, "Please get out of my way, Mr. Smith. The patients are still waiting."

Alice Roberts!

Edward Smith gets completely gloomy. He originally wanted to revenge her. But after holding it up for two days, he finds it's hard for him to hurt her!

So, he has to run to the hospital again but he can't find her. He asks others and learns her is checking the urological problems of that old man again,

Has she no shame at all?

"Quit your job now."

The man's commanding tone makes Alice sneer. She looks straight into Edward's cold eyes and says, "I will never quit this job. If you want to use your chairman power to fire me, go ahead!"

She did not believe that with her overseas experience, she could not find a job if she requires less salary.

Thinking of the money she may lose, Alice Roberts feels heartbroken.

She used to work overtime to earn more money when she was abroad. Now Edward Smith dares to make her quit the job！Alice Roberts can't help gritting her teeth.

Edward grabs her hand and pulls her away without any word.

"Let go of me, Edward Smith, I'm at work now. Please don't pester me anymore." Alice Roberts gets rid of his hand and looks at him coldly, "I hope you will not bother me from working anymore. And go tell the Dean if you want to fire me."

With that, Alice turns to the other side, clutching her hands under her wide sleeves. A trace of painful feeling flashes across her eyes. He will get married, why can't he just let go of her?

"Alice"

John Blake walks out of the ward and happens to come across Alice Roberts. Looking at her sad expression, he can't help worrying," What happened?"
