67: Chapter 67 I’m Married Now 67: Chapter 67 I’m Married Now In the hospital, patients were still coming and going by dusk.
“Next please.”
Jas Thompson entered information into the computer, his brows slightly showing impatience.
If he hadn’t rembered he was a doctor now, he might have scolded this woman already.
“Doctor Thompson, my leg still hurts.”
The woman patient was young, looking about twenty.
Chasing love so bravely.
Her calf was injured, stitched several tis.
The nurse politely asked the woman to leave, “Miss, Doctor Thompson has prescribed pain dication for you; you can go and take it.
We have other patients waiting.”
With a smile, the patient continued, “Just one last thing, Doctor Thompson, do you have a girlfriend?”
Leaning back in his chair, Jas Thompson’s lips curved beneath his mask, “I have a wife, and our child is six years old.”
The young patient’s eyes reddened, biting her lip, “I’m sorry, would you consider trading her for a young and beautiful woman?”
The nurse, “…”Is this woman out of her mind?
Jas Thompson chuckled and sent a ssage.
Julia Land, who had been waiting outside the clinic, received his ssage and pushed open the door to enter.
The mont she entered, she heard Jas Thompson softly call her, “Wife, you’re here.”
Julia Land, “?”
The young patient turned her head to look.
There stood a stunningly glamorous woman, young and beautiful.
The patient couldn’t believe it.
She had learned earlier that Doctor Thompson wasn’t married and had boldly pursued him.
Now this gorgeous woman?
“Doctor Thompson, you really have a wife and child?”
The nurse again asked the patient to leave.
Blushing yet knowing enough to be embarrassed, she quickly left using her crutches.
Julia Land set down the heart-shaped lunchbox, glanced at Jas Thompson with a smile, not quite smiling, “I prepared a few extra boxes; your colleagues can have them if they haven’t eaten yet.”
After speaking, she waved goodbye and left since other patients were waiting to be seen.
She left more decisively than the woman patient just now.
As she reached the door, however, she turned and said with a laugh, “I’m going ho to take care of our child.”
Her expression seed even craftier than his.
Jas Thompson lightly coughed and crossed his long legs, “Alright.”
Imperial View Gardens.
Noah Quarter undid his clothes, throwing them into the basket, standing under the showerhead.
Water droplets cascaded down his handso face.
Thinking of Julia Land calling him crazy, he also recalled seeing a photo of her kissing Jas Thompson in a car.
He wiped the water off his face and opened his eyes; his cold, dark eyes looked stormy.
After showering, he walked out of the bathroom wearing a black bathrobe.
Arabella Shaw saw him coming out, noticed his exposed chest, and smiled with curved eyebrows, “Noah, I recorded a video of Bella blowing bubbles; co watch with .”
Noah walked over and bent down to watch the video of his daughter on her phone.
His usually cold eyes softened a bit, and after watching, he said, “I’ll go to the study; you should go to sleep first.”
Arabella Shaw had only returned to Dunmore City today; the couple in love, regardless of anything, he shouldn’t have let her sleep first.
She lifted her foot, resting it on his shin and sliding it upwards.
“Noah, I’m going to be busy again in a few days.”
Her implication was full of hints.
Her pale instep changed to toes.
Noah secured the tie of his robe, “Go to sleep first, I have so urgent business to handle.”
Catching a fleeting look of disappointnt in Arabella Shaw’s eyes, he paused, then bent down and kissed her forehead, “Good night.”
Arabella Shaw’s eyes smiled, “Don’t stay up too late yourself, I’m going to sleep.”
Maybe he was too busy.
Noah went to his study, pulled open the drawer, leaning on the desk, and took a pack of cigarettes out.
He actually seldom smoked.
The smoke swirled, hiding the chill in his eyes.

The door of the practice room burst open, and Sister Wilson entered in high heels, pulled out a chair, and sat down, her face looking sowhat displeased.
Arabella Shaw stopped practicing, opened her thermos cup, which contained starfruit juice to soothe her throat, and took a few sips, “What happened?”
Sister Wilson, her face expressionless, “Austin Langston wants to terminate her contract with the company and is preparing to sign with a newly established brokerage.”
Arabella Shaw, “Hmm?
Is that brokerage willing to pay her breach of contract fee?
The penalties Winchester Place signs with their talents are not trivial.”
Austin Langston ca from an ordinary family.
She herself couldn’t possibly have that much money to pay a breach of contract fee.
This was also the reason Winchester Place could arbitrarily decide not to let Austin Langston release an album.
“That’s a company called Orange Brokerage, but I don’t know who’s behind it.”
“With money to sign artists, why would they sign soone like Austin Langston who hasn’t even debuted?”
Upon hearing the word Orange, Arabella frowned, but she didn’t dwell on it.
“It’s simple; Austin Langston wants to release an album, right?
Winchester Place just needs to give her a taste of what could be.”
“Being newly established in the entertainnt circle and having no resources, what future could signing with them bring her?
She should be wise enough to know which one to choose.”
Arabella Shaw called the higher-ups at Winchester Place, asking them to send soone to keep Austin Langston.
She spoke gently, “Austin Langston is very talented musically, and with ti, she could rise rapidly.”
It used to be Sister Wilson, Arabella Shaw’s agent, who had to discuss holding Austin Langston back.
And now, it was also Arabella Shaw giving Austin Langston a chance.
The vice president initially didn’t understand all the intricacies.
Only after he inquired about Austin Langston’s situation did he find out that a brokerage was handling her termination with Winchester Place today.
The vice president made a call, “Send soone to keep Austin Langston.”
First, keep her with a sugar-coated bullet; chat about the rest later.
The manager of the publicity departnt, a man sent by the vice president, pushed open the door of the eting room and walked in, his smile courteous, “Sorry to interrupt; I am here to talk to Austin Langston.”
Austin Langston and Hannah exchanged glances.
She was like a trainee who hadn’t officially debuted yet, so it was a bit strange for the publicity departnt manager to want to talk to her.
Austin Langston followed him out of the eting room, with Hannah not feeling reassured, also followed, and the three of them went to the neighboring eting room to talk.
The publicity departnt manager didn’t beat around the bush, “Austin Langston, would you reconsider staying with Winchester Place?
Our departnt has actually been planning your debut promotional campaign.
Your talent is exceptional.”
Austin Langston just smiled, “Sorry, but I’ve already agreed to the offer from Orange Brokerage.”
As long as Arabella Shaw wanted to suppress her, there was no chance she could successfully debut, so she didn’t trust the words of the publicity departnt manager.
Seeing her refuse, the manager wasn’t angry but instead took out a debut planning proposal for her to see.
“Take a look, this proposal was prepared for you.
Winchester Place is a major company with abundant resources—it wouldn’t keep you from debuting.”
“Orange Brokerage is a newly established small company; it doesn’t have the entertainnt circle resources.”
He kindly advised, “The company’s recent delay in your album release is for your own good.
You wouldn’t want to clash with Miss Shaw, right?”
Austin Langston flipped through the debut planning proposal; it indeed suited her, and the manager spoke sincerely.
However, she pushed the proposal back to him.
“Sorry, I’d still like to develop with Orange Brokerage.
There are too many big nas here, and this little shrimp doesn’t fit in.”
“You need to think this through.”
“Thank you, I have thought it through.”
The manager of the publicity departnt was annoyed internally, this small star, hardly one yet, not even giving him face.
He took the debut planning proposal and left the eting room.
Austin Langston and Hannah smiled at each other.
The matter of Austin Langston breaking her contract with Winchester Place was settled after the breach of contract fee was paid.
And Austin Langston also signed a ten-year contract with Orange Brokerage the sa day.
Hannah went with her to Orange Brokerage.
Arabella Shaw received a phone call and learned about Austin Langston’s contract termination.
She said mockingly, “Well, I just don’t believe in the capabilities over at Orange.
Many are talented, but not everyone can beco famous.
It’s the behind-the-scenes financial power that’s crucial.”
Sister Wilson nodded, “The road ahead is still long.
We shouldn’t rush; the resources of a small company are limited.”
Arabella Shaw smiled faintly.
