Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 9

Graham was surprised and thought for a moment. “I don’t think so. Maybe Dr. Gainsford really doesn’t want to see you…”

Before he finished speaking, Graham suddenly shivered. Why did he feel so cold?

He looked up and saw Jalen staring at him with a gloomy face. Graham was shocked. Graham seemed to have said something wrong…

“Of course, it’s impossible!” Graham said righteously.

With your charm, no woman will hate you. Dr. Gainsford must be playing hard to get.”

In fact, Graham was not lying. After all, Jalen was indeed the dream lover of all women in New York. It was the first time that a woman had treated him like this. It was no wonder that Graham felt Elaina was playing

hard to get.

Playing hard to get…

Was that so?

A week later, Marie was transferred from the intensive care unit to an ordinary ward. When Elaina brought

people to check in on her, Marie was leaning on the bed and playing with her phone. Her complexion looked

much better than before.

“How do you feel today? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Elaina asked.

Marie smiled and shook her head. “No, I feel pretty good.”

Elaina nodded and was not surprised. “That’s good. After staying here for a while, you can go home and

recuperate.”

Elaina was about to leave when Marie stopped her. “Dr. Gainsford, do you have time?”

Elaina frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. I just want to talk to you,” Marie spoke in a soft and pitiful voice.

Of course, Elaina would not feel any pity for her. To her, Marie was no different from other patients.

“Sorry, I’m very busy,” Elaina refused.

“Just for a while.” Marie looked at Elaina with a face full of expectation.

Before Elaina could refuse, the doctor who came with her said, “Dr. Gainsford, you chat with Ms. Dunston. We

will check on other patients.”

They didn’t dare to offend Jalen’s woman. They were reminding Elaina that Jalen couldn’t be trifled with.

Soon the group left, leaving only Elaina and Marie in the ward. Elaina was reluctant to be here.

She looked at Marie who was lying on the bed with interest. Her intuition told her that Marie was up to no good.

Elaina walked over and sat down on a chair next to the bed. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to say thank you very much. If not for you, I might not have survived.” She smiled, looking harmless.

Elaina was expressionless, unmoved. “You don’t have to thank me. I got paid to treat you. Jalen paid for the medical expenses.”

And it was not cheap. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“I know. Jalen has done a lot to save me, but no matter what, you are my savior,” Marie said sincerely, almost making Elaina doubt herself. Could it be that Elaina was being petty?

But soon, Marie’s words made her understand that her intuition was right.

“Dr. Gainsford, you are so young. Do you have a boyfriend?” Marie asked.

Elaina shook her head and did not say anything. She just wanted to see what Marie wanted to do.

“Which kind of man do you like? I know many young talents. I can introduce you to them,” Marie said.

Elaina was still silent. She even looked at Marie coldly.

Marie quickly said, “Don’t misunderstand. I just don’t know how to repay you, so I came up with this idea.”

“What do you think of Jalen?” she suddenly asked and stared at Elaina, trying to see through something from her face.

Elaina could not help but laugh out loud. It turned out that Marie was worried about this.

“Ms. Dunston, you don’t have to test me. I am not interested in Jalen.” It seemed Jalen didn’t make Marie feel safe. Otherwise, how could Marie be so worried about losing him?

Scumbag!

“Dr. Gainsford, I… I didn’t mean that.” Marie’s face was full of grievance, as if she had been misunderstood.

Just as Elaina was about to speak, the ward door was pushed open, and Jalen walked in. “What are you talking about?”

“Jalen!” Seeing Jalen, Marie instantly smiled. “I’m asking Dr. Gainsford what kind of man she likes. I think

there are many young talents that we can introduce to Dr. Gainsford.”

Jalen’s expression darkened. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable. “Dr. Gainsford is so outstanding. She doesn’t need your help.”

“That’s true.”

Marie nodded as if she was unwilling to give up. She looked at Elaina again. “Dr. Gainsford, you don’t know what kind of man you like, but you must know the type you don’t like, right?”

“Tell me. If I really want to introduce someone, I will know who isn’t right.”

Elaina looked at Jalen and said in a flat tone, “I don’t like the Halton family.”

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.

Jalen stared at Elaina with a murderous look in his eyes. “Reason? How did the Halton family offend you?”

“The fortune-teller said that I didn’t get along well with you guys.” Otherwise, they wouldn’t have divorced without seeing each other for two years.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the sick room was particularly oppressive. Marie felt a little breathless. “Do

you misunderstand Jalen?”

Marie could feel Elaina was hostile to Jalen. But why?

“You think too much. I just don’t like the surname Halton,” Elaina said.

“Dr. Gainsford, did you hear something?” Marie continued to speak up for Jalen, “Jalen did get married, but it

is not his fault.

“Jalen’s ex-wife is a bumpkin. She has a bad character. They are not right for each other. Divorce is inevitable.

Dr. Gainsford, you must not be biased against Jalen because of this.”

Marie’s words were full of disdain for Jalen’s ex-wife. Even in Marie’s dreams, she would never have thought

that the ex-wife she looked down on was standing in front of her at this moment. Moreover, Elaina had saved

her life.

Elaina sneered inwardly and looked up at Jalen. “Is this what you think of your ex-wife, Mr. Halton?”
