The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius novel Chapter 5

A meeting? Emily jolted fully awake, scrambling to get dressed. "I overslept. I'll be there right away!"

"Hurry up! The meeting starts in just over ten minutes. You'll get chewed out if you're late!"

"Got it." She rushed through her morning routine and arrived at the hospital conference room just in time.

The moment Mallory saw the dark circles under Emily's eyes, she knew exactly what had happened the night before. She gritted her teeth.

"That bastard! Does he even have a shred of conscience left in him? He romances his mistress one minute and torments you the next. What does he take you for? An inflatable doll?"

The moment the words left her, Mallory realized that she'd gone too far. She looked at Emily apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Mills. I didn't mean it like that. I just think that he's despicable!"

Emily lowered her eyes wearily, her voice bitter. "It's okay. Just give me a contraceptive injection later."

"Mills, those things aren't good for you. You can't keep relying on that stuff."

"I know."

"You…" Mallory wanted to say more, but all that came out was a sigh.

On stage, the hospital director, Adrain Strebelle, was delivering his address. The purpose of this meeting was to organize a medical mission. Several doctors from various departments would be selected to provide free medical care in the countryside for one month.

Just hearing about it gave Mallory a headache. "Another medical mission? The last time we went to the mountains, we ran into a mudslide and nearly got buried there."

The memory was still vivid for Emily as well. She would never forget Gabriel's response when she called him for help.

"This time, we will decide the participants by drawing lots. Colleagues from each department, please come up in an orderly manner."

"What? Draw lots?" Mallory exclaimed as she buried her face in her hands. "With my luck, I'm done for!"

Their turn soon came. Fortune smiled upon Mallory. She drew a blank lot. Emily, however, wasn't so fortunate. She drew a lot that was marked red.

Adrain smiled at her encouragingly. "With Dr. Sterling on the team, I'm sure this medical mission will be a huge success."

"Thank you, Dr. Strebelle. I'll do my best not to disappoint."

After exchanging a few polite words, Emily returned to her seat.
