At this mont, Chloe Simpson was like a lamb that had cornered itself into a dead end.
It seed as if she was sulking with herself, fighting with herself, insisting she had to tell herself that she didn’t like Alexander Johnson.
She absolutely could not like Alexander Johnson!
When Lucas Hughes received the ssage, he was truly overjoyed.
[Alright. But Chloe, I’m about to perform a surgery. Let’s go get the certificate after I’m done, okay? It should be done by around 1 PM, at most by 3 PM.]
He imdiately replied to the ssage.
While replying, he muttered to himself, "Heh, a slut is a slut, damn cheap! After all that, isn’t she still going to remarry ? What’s with the act?"
[Okay, Lucas, I’ll wait for you at the hospital. Send a ssage after your surgery, and we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate.]
Chloe nodded, replied to Lucas’s ssage, then got up to freshen up.
After freshening up, she even made breakfast for Emily Sterling.
After breakfast, she went to the hospital.
By that ti, Lucas Hughes had already entered the operating room.
Chloe worked while waiting for Lucas’s surgery to finish so they could get the certificate.
However, she didn’t know why the re five or six hours felt so long.
And this prolonged feeling wasn’t due to waiting; it was because of her continuous internal struggle.
Her mind kept replaying everything that had happened between her and Alexander Johnson.
But the more this happened, the more determined Chloe beca to get the certificate with Lucas, to prove she didn’t care about Alexander, that she didn’t like him.
But this process felt exceptionally long.
She waited, feeling as if a lifeti had passed, like she’d fought a century-long war.
When Lucas sent a ssage saying his surgery was done and they should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chloe felt utterly defeated.
[Okay.]
Chloe simply replied with one word, then went to ask for leave to et Lucas, so they could go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
Lucas asked for leave as well and ca out to find Chloe; they agreed to et in the hospital lobby.
Five minutes later, both Chloe and Lucas arrived at the hospital lobby.
But just as they were about a ter apart, suddenly soone burst out from the crowd, holding a knife directly towards Lucas, grabbing him and placing the blade against his neck.
"I’m telling you, get your hospital director Tyler Howard out here now, or I’ll kill him."
The man was extrely agitated, his whole body trembling.
"Ah!"
"Murder!"
"Ah!"
The people who ca to the hospital ran out yelling and shouting.
Only Chloe was left, stunned for a mont, then she walked up to the man: "Sir, please don’t get agitated. Can you tell what happened?"
"Not agitated? How can I not be agitated? If I don’t, my whole family will die. What’s the use of telling you? Ah! Get Tyler Howard here imdiately, or I’ll kill him."
As the man spoke, his hand trembled, and the knife pressed closer, causing fresh red blood to flow down Lucas’s neck.
"Ah! Don’t, don’t kill ! Taking hostage is useless; you should take her instead. She’s Alexander Johnson’s woman, you know him? The Duke Capital Circle, Tyler Howard wouldn’t dare offend Alexander Johnson, with this woman here, Tyler Howard will definitely co out!"
Lucas’s face had already turned ashen, terrified, he looked around, seeing only Chloe, he imdiately spoke up.
