Chapter 105 Divorcing Her Husband For The Young Prince

"Emily, did I hear wrong or did she just call you Jen?" Richard looked at her with a confused face.

"Emily? Aren't you Jennifer?" Suzy also mirrored Richard's expression as she looked at Amy.

"Jennifer? What's going on kid? Why the many names?"

Amy felt like her head would burst from the questions. Her mind had been spinning to cook up a convincing answer but the questions kept coming and the confusion grew between the two as they sought her for answers. She sighed before responding.

"It's my middle name", she responded.

"Which one?" Both asked in unison.

Which one would best be suitable to be her middle name?

"Emily is", she responded. "Growing up, people used that name more than my first name. Even I got used to it."

She used the story behind the Jennifer name to gloss it over the Emily name. That's because if she used the Emily name as her real name, she would have to change the hospital records and the fake ID wouls not suffice and probably attract unwanted attention.

Richard was staring at her. It reminded her of the look Stella gave her when she spun the lie about her husband being ugly. Amy was not sure if he believed her. Whereas for Suzy, she just shrugged. Amy sighed. How many more lies will she have to spill to the people she had now grown to care about? It was becoming exhausting for her.

"Who are you here with?" Suzy looked between them as she asked.

"Oh! His wife who's also my friend got hurt. We don't know how bad it is", Amy answered.

"What's her name?"

"Stella Thornton", both Amy and Richard answered.

"Okay. I'll be right back."

Suzy left without waiting for a reply. Amy and Richard exchanged a look. "A friend of yours?" Richard asked.

"Yes. She's also my doctor. Her name is Susan Glynne", Amy answered.

Richard nodded. The two fell in silence as they stared into the direction of the room Stella was taken in.

"Did you tell Nora and Alex?"

"Mm. They're on their way back here. Alex had gone to drop off her sister", e explained.

Amy nodded. Just then, Susan came back with a male doctor. The man had a file in his hand as he conversed in whispers with Susan. He was a man around Jared's age, in his earliest forties, he was taller than the three of them and he was quite a looker. His hazel brown eyes complimented his short brown hair on his head. He was wearing navy blue scrubs under a white jacket and a stethoscope hung around his neck. Weren't doctors supposed to be not what they appear to be in movies and dramas? Even her friend Suzy was an eye catcher.

"Stella Thornton's family?" He confirmed with them when he got closer.

"That's us", Richard and Amy responded at the same time.

"I'm Dr. Steven Bu he extended his hand towards Richard and the latter shook it. He did the same to Amy. But Amy buried those thoughts when she heard Richard's question.

"How is my wife?" Richard could no longer suppress his anxiousness.

"She sustained a hip fracture", he took out a file and showed them the scan results copy. "This is the place that has been fracture. She'll need surgery to correct this otherwise she'll be in a lot of pain. I highly recommend that we operate on her right away."

"Will she be okay? After surgery that is?" Richard ask.

"Yes. Surgery will ensure a quick recovery", Dr. Burn responded.

"Don't worry. Dr. Burn is the best Orthopedic in West Village", Susan said. There was a tinge of red on her cheeks as she spoke. Amy's brows went up when she saw this.

"Do you have a question Miss?" Dr. Burn asked.

"Huh? Me? No", she shook her head.

"Oh! I thought you were confused about something when you raised your brows. Well, time is of the essence. Mr. Thornton, you need to sign a consent form before we can proceed with the surgery", Dr. Burn said.

"Lead the way doctor", Richard said. "I'll be right back", he told Amy who nodded.

The two men left while they conversed as they walked. Even from the back, Steven Burn looked so attractive. He had a commanding aura about him but at the same he was quite approachable. It was only when the two men disappeared when they took a turn did Suzy look away to find an amused smile playing on Amy's lips.

"Not a word!" Suzy warned with a bashful smile as her cheeks colored red.

Amy only shrugged as her smile grew wider. Suzy's smile turned into a yawn as she stretched her arms out wide. It was now that Amy noticed how fatigued her friend looked. Even so, she still looked pretty with in slacks, a matching silky button down shirt and her white coat on top.

"Long night?"

"Mm. Three births in one night", she held up three fingers as she spoke.

"Three?"

"Two cesarian and one normal. I want go home for a bit then I'll have to come back later on", she explained. Then she snapped her fingers. "Ah! Before I forget. I have a message for you from Trevor."

"Oh boy!", Amy chuckled.

"Oh boy is right. He's been reminding me every day not to forget to tell you when we meet that", she cleared her throat for dramatic effect. "He broke up with his girlfriends, I did not even know he had any and three for that matter!"

"Wow!" Amy laughed. She didn't think that little one was so..... capable.

"Yeah. I know", she shook her head in disbelief. "So that's the message. He broke up with his three girlfriends for you. Will you consider this young Prince's heart?"

"Since he's put in such an effort, then it's only right that I divorce my husband-"

Thud!

The two women who were laughing stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Susan's smile slowly faded as she took the young stranger whose eyes she could barely see because of his bangs. Amy's brows lit up in recognition.

"Ian."
