OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Chapter 34

Chapter 34: He Has Sexual Dysfunction

Joanna Hale frowns and a darkness twinkles in her eyes. Is Alice Roberts trying to threaten her with the pregnancy? Did she know that?

"As you think, I am a doctor."

Alice Roberts smiles and continues, "As an andrologist, I'm here because Mr. Smith has sexual dysfunction."

Joanna Hale freezes, looking at Alice Roberts, then looks at Edward Smith. He – he has sexual problems?

No wonder he didn't have any response to her all these years, no matter how seductive she was.

That's why! Not because she's unattractive, but because there's something wrong with him?

Joanna Hale feels vaguely aware of the truth; she puts her hand on her belly unconsciously, watching at Edward Smith's face.

Fortunately, Edward Smith pays all the attention on Alice Roberts.

Joanna Hale sighs with relief but feels jealous of Alice Roberts. This woman has disappeared for five years and how dare she show up again and come to Edward Smith's office.

No one would believe that she is innocent.

"Miss Hale, do you understand now? If there's nothing else, I'll go first." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice Roberts smiles as if thinking of something, she turns to Edward Smith and says very politely, "Mr. Smith, from a doctor's point of view, I would advise you to give up smoking and drinking for a while,

and...restrain sex."

Edward Smith curls his lips with anger in his eyes. Well, the woman has managed to provoke him.

Alice Roberts leaves the office smartly. She breathes a sigh of relief as she gets into the elevator and she starts worrying about something as she thinks of the way Joanna Hale looked at her in the office.

She’d better keep away from Edward Smith until the day Joanna Hale marries him. If she offends Joanna Hale and Janet Louis, her mother would be in danger.

After all, both of them would use all means to get what they want.

...

Back to the hospital, Julie Swift trots over when she sees Alice Roberts. She looks at her nervously and asks, "Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere short of the dean's office."

"I went out." Alice Roberts responds apologetically.

"Went out? Didn't you go to fix the problem?" Julie Swift is confused. Shouldn't she go to the dean or minister to solve the problem?

Alice Roberts has no idea about how to explain to Julie Swift her six-year entanglement with Edward Smith. So she can only tell her in the simplest way,

"The reason why they moved my name out is that a client wants me to be his private doctor for a year."

"My God, who would do such a thing?" Julie Swift is more confused. Alice Roberts is an andrologist. Which man would take a year to treat andrological?

Julie Swift, in a flash of inspiration, smiles secretly. She leans closer to Alice Roberts and whispers, "Is there a sexual problem with the dean?"

"…" Alice Roberts twitches her lips and says responsibly, "Not the dean."

"Who's that?" Julie Swift is curious about that.

"A President of a big company."

Alice Roberts does not want to talk more about this topic, so she changes this topic by asking, "Did anyone looks for me while I was away?"

Julie Swift pats her forehead, "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Dr. Blake came to find you twice."

John Blake.

A complicated expression shows up on Alice Robert's face. If John knows that she has to serve Edward Smith this year...

"Alice, Alice."

"Oh, I am listening." Alice Roberts smiles and meets Julie Swift's puzzled gaze, she waves her hand and says, "I'm going to find him now."

The andrology department is on the third floor and the gynecology & obstetrics department is on the fourth floor. Alice Roberts doesn't take the elevator, but goes directly to the stairs. She wants to think about how to tell John Blake about this while going upstairs.

John would definitely disagree and suggest that she quit the job right away if she tells him the truth.

Her mother is in this hospital, so Alice Roberts does not want to go to another hospital. It will be inconvenient for her to take care of her mother, what’s more, Edward Smith offers her tripled salary.

Alice Roberts concludes with these reasons: Don't tell John Blake the truth. Anyway, she can completely get rid of Edward Smith after one year.

Maybe within one year.

On the fourth floor, Alice Roberts asks a nurse and finds John Blake's office.

Alice Roberts knocks twice and pushes the door open. But there's a pregnant woman inside. So she hastens to say, "I'll come back later."

"Alice, it's almost finished. Just wait for a while."

John Blake stops her, tells the pregnant woman some advices, and calls the nurse to come in, "Please help me to send the patient back."

"Ok." John Blake and Alice Roberts are left in the clinic room after the nurse takes away the woman with seven-month pregnancy.

"Seat yourself, would you like tea or water?"

John Blake gets up. His gentle appearance and expression make her feel like enjoying the spring breeze.

But Alice Roberts is strangely nervous, feeling like a pupil who has been caught by her teacher. She sits across the table, "Whatever."

John Blake pours her a glass of water and puts it in front of her. He looks at Alice Roberts and asks, "Where have you been?"

"I…I went to ask them about something." Alice Roberts replies hesitantly.

"You are lying." John Blake looks directly into Alice Roberts' eyes and catches her guilty, "I have asked the dean and your minister, they didn't see you. Did Edward Smith do something to you?"

Alice Roberts says nothing and worries, thinking, “John guesses it correctly. What should I do?”

"Alice, are we still friends?" There is some disappointment in John Blake's voice.

"Of course we are." Alice Roberts replies without even thinking of it.

"Then why do you still refuse to tell me the truth? It's a big thing. Alice, Edward Smith is about to marry Joanna Hale. You have already gotten over with him. You'll only hurt yourself if you go on like this, do you understand?"

"I know!" Alice Roberts springs to her feet and says loudly.

John Blake is stunned and stares at Alice Roberts. He has never said such a thing in front of Alice Roberts all these years, because they were abroad and he thought Alice Roberts as over him.

But who knew Alice Roberts, who never mentioned Edward Smith abroad, would be entangled with him as soon as she returned home?

Alice Roberts clenches her fists, "Sorry..."

"Alice, I didn't mean to constrain you, I'm just..." The remaining words “care about you” are unspoken.

"I know. I just lost my temper. Sorry." Alice Roberts interrupts him.
