Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 2

After Graham finished speaking, he saw Jalen’s expression change. “When?”

“I just got word this morning.”

Jalen ordered, “Get someone to look into it immediately. I don’t care what you do. Find her!”

Graham hurriedly nodded. “Sure, Mr. Halton.”

It was early in the morning.

Everyone in Northwestern Memorial Hospital was discussing.

“Who do you think the new deputy director will be? A man or a woman? Someone easy to get along with?”

“Who knows? Anyone who gets to be our hospital’s deputy director out of the blue is a heavyweight. It’ll be either because of their medical skills, or…” The woman who said this grinned. Her implication was quite clear. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“I heard the one is quite young. Maybe it’s because of nepotism.”

“Agreed.” The others nodded.

After all, experience was the key to being a doctor. Many people couldn’t make it to deputy director for decades. However, the one who came out of nowhere got to be the hospital’s deputy director directly, which was bound to cause some discussion.

As they were talking, a young nurse ran over quickly. “She is here!

“And she is so pretty!” the young nurse said.

Everyone was very surprised. They all walked to the Neurosurgery Department to see who the new deputy director was.

Elaina walked out of the dean’s office. Then she walked into the deputy director’s office under others’ strange gazes along the way.

After closing the door, she sat down and began to busy herself without stopping for a moment.

She did not want to stay in New York at first. After all, she had been abroad all the time. In terms of

reputation and habit, going abroad was her best choice.

Yet somehow, the dean of Northwestern Memorial Hospital found her number and called her, wanting her to

stay.

The dean persuaded Elaina for a long time with a lot of excuses, telling her that the neurosurgery field in New York needed to develop urgently and that she could be of help to more people if she stayed.

For a moment, Elaina hesitated.

Besides, both Andrew and Theodore expressed that they wanted her to stay as well. The result was self-evident.

“How can she be this young? She’s not even thirty, is she?” Someone was stunned.

“What do you think? I heard that she is only twenty-six.”

“How is that even possible?” Everyone was in disbelief.

“Why is that not possible?” someone asked rhetorically. “She is young, and she has already graduated with a

Ph.D.

“Besides, how come you never heard of Dr. Gainsford?” Joyce Wallace couldn’t believe it. How could those

people be so outdated?

The others were dumbfounded and thought, Dr. Gainsford? Who is that? Someone excellent?

Joyce rolled her eyes helplessly. She said, “Go search online yourself. You are so ignorant.”

After saying that, she trotted towards Elaina’s office and knocked on the door. She walked in after getting

Elaina’s permission.

“Dr. Gainsford, hello. I am Joyce Wallace, an intern here. The dean has arranged for me to work as your

assistant for the time being. Let me know if you need anything,” Joyce smiled with adoration in her eyes.

Joyce thought, Dr. Gainsford has always been my idol. I’ve heard that Dr. Gainsford has been a straight–A

student all along. She skipped grades and was only twenty– two years old when she graduated with her Ph.D.

She is indeed a genius.

I’m so lucky to be by her side. Even though I’m just working as her assistant, it’s still a dream for many!

Elaina did not know what Joyce was thinking, nor did she have the mood to guess. “Hi. Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” Joyce shook her head. She was thrilled.

“Well, please pull up the hospital’s neurosurgery records for the last ten years,” Elaina instructed. Without

waiting for Joyce to react, she continued, “And neurosurgery patients here who are in line waiting for surgery.”

Elaina was new here, and everything was unfamiliar to her. She needed to know every detail as soon as

possible.

“What is it? Is there a problem?” Joyce didn’t respond to her, so Elaina stopped being busy, raised her head,

and looked at Joyce.

In a split second, Joyce tensed up. Though Elaina looked gentle, Joyce was under a lot of pressure.

“Sure. You got it!” Joyce immediately nodded.

Elaina nodded and did not say anything else. She continued to work. Joyce turned around and left to gather the information that Elaina requested.

Elaina spent the entire morning reading the medical records in the office. Joyce packed some lunch for Elaina out of concern for her well-being.

Elaina flipped through the medical records with one hand and ate with the other. She was so immersed in the

files that she ignored Joyce, who was still standing in the office.

“Dr. Gainsford, you… Are you always like this?” Joyce couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing Joyce’s voice, Elaina made some time and looked at her. “Like what?”

“Uh…” Joyce was stunned for a second. “You know… Forget to eat, since you’re so occupied.”

“It’s fine.” Elaina shrugged indifferently. She did not take this seriously.

“It’s not! Your health is…”

The siren sound of an ambulance came, interrupting Joyce.

Elaina frowned and looked at Joyce. “Go check on the patient. See if they need help.”

“On my way!”

In less than five minutes, Joyce trotted into Elaina’s office. “Dr. Gainsford, I think you need to take a look. The patient is not doing well.”.
