Chapter 537: Chapter 537

After Julian Lancaster finished the payment, they all returned to the ward together.

After all, Marcus Walsh was his assistant for many years. Recently, the hospital’s wards were in high demand, making it impossible to secure a VIP room, so he had to stay in a three-bed room. Julian Lancaster told him to rest well first, and after a few days when the beds free up, he would help arrange for Marcus to move into the VIP room.

On the other hand, he quickly called Felix Ford to urgently bring him back and take over Marcus Walsh’s work.

By this time, Marcus Walsh had already finished his knee surgery and returned to the ward. Apart from the steel pins in his knee, which looked quite shocking, and the redness and swelling on his face from bruises, he didn’t seem uncomfortable otherwise.

Sharon Lancaster looked at Marcus Walsh’s miserable state and couldn’t help but ask, "Marcus, how did you end up ?"

Marcus Walsh covered his face, his eyes instantly turning red, with a pained expression in his gaze, "I... I broke up, and then I was distracted driving home and accidentally hit another car, that’s how it happened..."

Nina Sinclair and Sharon Lancaster had both been hurt by cheating in their relationships, so they could understand the pain of a breakup.

Seeing Marcus Walsh’s face full of pain, both Sharon Lancaster and Nina Sinclair felt sympathetic, and Sharon Lancaster didn’t want to probe further and reopen his wounds.

She could only console him, "Don’t be sad, there’s plenty of women out there, a breakup is nothing major, the next one will be better for sure."

Nina Sinclair echoed immediately, "Exactly, they say unlucky in love means lucky in other aspects. Maybe you’ll find success in your career, get promoted and a pay raise, and then you’ll realize a breakup isn’t such a big deal. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

Sharon Lancaster glanced sneakily at Julian Lancaster.

Her brother was Marcus Walsh’s boss, and any promotion and raise would have to be decided by him.

Julian Lancaster heard his wife’s statement and nodded, "You will get a promotion and a raise."

After all, enduring such treatment for impersonating him somewhat counted as occupational injury, he was willing to offer some compensation.

Sharon Lancaster: "..."

Had her brother really turned into a wife-doting maniac?

Just because Nina Sinclair said so, he started promoting and giving a raise to the assistant?

Sharon Lancaster began thinking silently to herself, maybe if she clung tightly to her sister-in-law, she could gain even more benefits?

After Julian Lancaster said this, he remembered what Marcus said about the breakup.

Previously, he knew Marcus was in a relationship with Rebecca Lowell, and it was out of respect for Marcus that he didn’t take action against Rebecca Lowell; otherwise, given her repeated targeting of Nina Sinclair, he would’ve already kicked her out of the company.

He looked at Marcus and suddenly asked, "Did she find out?"

Marcus knew Julian Lancaster referred to the matter of him impersonating President Lancaster, so he sighed and nodded, "Yeah."

"Find out what?" Sharon Lancaster asked, puzzled.

Marcus, while enduring the pain from the car accident, said, "I’m not as good as she thought, nor as wealthy as she imagined, so she couldn’t accept it and broke up with me. Well, it’s not her fault, I did deceive her after all."

Although it was Rebecca Lowell who first approached him, he fell in love with her too.

Now that the truth was revealed and Rebecca Lowell broke up with him, he was extremely upset, feeling crushed.

Marcus’s words meant different things to those present.

Julian Lancaster knew Rebecca Lowell misunderstood Marcus’s identity, leading to the breakup, while Sharon Lancaster and Nina Sinclair were only partly aware, thinking Marcus was dumped by his girlfriend.

Nina Sinclair felt there was nothing wrong with being an assistant, Julian Lancaster was also an assistant, yet she felt very content and believed the future was earned by oneself.

As for his looks... she glanced again at Marcus’s bruised face, finding it hard to make out anything.

Though she couldn’t see his features clearly, he didn’t seem to be very ugly either, so Nina Sinclair could only conclude that Marcus was terribly unfortunate.

They stayed in the ward for quite a while, and as it got late, they said their goodbyes and left.
