Chapter 125: Chapter 125

"I want to eat, too." He leaned over.

"Get it yourself." Fresh chapters posted on novel-fire.ɴet

"I want to eat yours." He opened his mouth, "Feed me."

Lucy gave him a sidelong glance, scooped a big piece into his mouth, "Shameless."

He retorted, "What’s wrong with being shameless in front of my wife? Is it embarrassing?"

Just as Lucy was about to say something, a distinctive laugh came from behind. Hearing the sound, there was no need to guess who had come.

"I never expected you, John, to have such a day." Elijah Sheppard walked over energetically, hands in his pockets, "Seeing you become a wife-flatterer, I genuinely feel happy for you, little brother."

"It’s raining heavily and it’s nighttime, why did you come over at a time ?"

"We’re all busy during the day, no time to meet." Elijah sat down, crossing his legs, "So I could only come in the evening. The new album is being released tomorrow, and the MV with your wife will have its premiere as well. That’s why I came over now to show it to you two in advance."

As he spoke, he opened his phone, found the MV video and handed it to Jacob Green, "Here."

Jacob accepted, opened it, and watched it together with Lucy.

It must be said, the shoot was great. The MV content had a short film plot. Although it only lasted a few minutes, it easily drew people into it along with the music.

Jacob finished watching, full of praise, "Well shot, especially my wife, she performed the best."

"Sister-in-law is perceptive and smart. Even though she had never acted before, once the director and I communicated with her, she understood perfectly and did such a good job. Really amazing! Sister-in-law, I’d like you to be the female lead in all my future album MVs. What do you think?"

"I’ll kick you to death if you push it." Jacob firmly disagreed, "Just this once, won’t happen again."

"Stingy." After Elijah finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked Jacob, "Haven’t you noticed your sister has been acting strange lately?"

"She keeps sharing Buddhist articles on her Moments. I feel like she’s detached from worldly desires."

Jacob couldn’t help but laugh, "If she were detached from worldly desires, then I’m Buddha."

"Has she recently become a believer in Buddhism?"

"Lately, she’s been willing to go and even d a meditation hall to the Grand Saint Temple in her own name. I think she’s interested in a monk there, otherwise I can’t explain her behavior."

Elijah looked utterly shocked, "No way? Your second sister has such high standards, she could actually take a fancy to a monk? I don’t believe it."

"She hasn’t admitted it, it’s just my guess." Jacob thought of his elder brother’s wedding and asked Elijah, "Will you have time this week?"

"Releasing a new album tomorrow, I’m quite busy recently, why?"

"My big brother is having a wedding in the next few days. Can you sing a song?"

Elijah nodded, "Of course, I must attend big brother’s wedding."

"With that, I’m reassured."

Elijah is truly a renowned singer of Country Y. Early in the morning, his new album was released, with Weibo comments reaching seventy thousand, and likes went without saying, over two hundred thousand.

Because of his immense popularity, the main track’s performance on its first day was unprecedentedly extraordinary.

Fans discovered the MV’s female lead’s name was identical to the Prime Minister’s daughter, sparking heated discussion.

The discussion had two points.

First, everyone was speculating if it was the same person.

Secondly, they speculated on her relationship with Elijah. Otherwise, why was the interaction in the MV so natural, with such a couple vibe?

For the first speculation everyone pondered on, even before Elijah confirmed it on Weibo, a busybody had already verified it.

The media raced to forward it, and thus, Lucy Eaton’s appearance became publicly known.

The previous incident of her single-handedly confronting eight robbers at the hospital was already a hot topic among the public, and now seeing her in the MV with her fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, Lucy attracted quite a few online admirers.

This admiration seriously affected her normal work.

Because once it was known she was a neurosurgery attending physician at Ningham City First People’s Hospital, many nearby netizens formed groups to see her in person.

Forcing her to leave the hospital early.

Upon learning of this situation, Elijah felt deeply apologetic and specially posted on Weibo.

[The female lead in this MV, Lucy Eaton, is a good friend of mine. She is a doctor with no intention to enter the entertainment industry. She agreed to the filming purely out of friendship. Please do not disturb her normal life at her workplace.]

This Weibo post indeed had a substantial effect. When Lucy returned to the hospital in the afternoon, there were significantly fewer people.

During the Neurosurgery Department meeting, Sarah Reed took the chance to stir things up, "This morning, people everywhere were asking which office Dr. Lucy works in. Dr. Lucy, do you know how much trouble you’ve caused us colleagues?"

"No trouble at all, no trouble. This wasn’t arranged by Dr. Lucy, she had no way to prevent it, so we should be understanding." The associate chief physician replied with a smile, "Dr. Lucy, don’t listen to Dr. Reed’s nonsense. Although quite a few people came this morning, it didn’t really affect our work. Instead, it’s you, Dr. Lucy, who had to leave the hospital early. I even thought you weren’t coming back this afternoon. I didn’t expect you to be so dedicated, cherishing your job, truly a blessing for our hospital’s patients."

This sincere speech made Lucy feel extremely awkward, while Sarah rolled her eyes dramatically, "Associate Chief, your flattery is way too blatant, isn’t it? Don’t flip the truth just because she’s the Prime Minister’s daughter, saying she’s specially invited when she came through connections..."

Before she could finish, the associate chief rudely interrupted, face flushed, "Dr. Reed, your biased view against Dr. Lucy is something I strongly disagree with. Dr. Lucy was specially invited by our hospital. How did she come through connections? Dr. Lucy’s capabilities are clear to everyone. Don’t spread rumors just because you can’t match her."

Sarah’s eyes widened, nearly spitting out blood in anger.

"Associate Chief, she obviously came through connections, yet you say specially invited?"

"Sarah, as the Associate Chief said, Dr. Lucy was specially invited, not through connections. I hope you watch your words in the future. If I find you intentionally slandering our hospital and doctors, it’s questionable whether you can keep your job." The director’s words successfully shut her up.

Sarah felt bitter inside, knowing she couldn’t say anything else now.

Thinking about it all, she couldn’t help but glare at Lucy again, only to have Lucy smile back, which infuriated her even more.

Mia Townsend and John Green’s wedding took place a week later.

The wedding was low-key yet grand.

Only a few were invited to attend.

When John Green placed the wedding ring on Mia Townsend’s finger, Mia couldn’t control her emotions and burst into tears.
