The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 669

“Please transfer him to a private hospital!” She wanted the best doctor to treat
Luke. The servant helped Catherine sit on the bench in the corridor and said,
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Turner. Mr. Turner had probably only been too tired these days
since he was dealing with Vivian's matter.” Catherine's hand flew to her forehead,
exhaustion taking over her. Back at home, she thought his liver problem
relapsed; but clearly that wasn't the issue and she wasn’t expecting even the
doctor wouldn't know what was wrong. It shocked her.

“Maybe. I'll find another doctor to check on him.”

Catherine forced a smile.

Luke was transferred to the best private hospital in Barnes. He remained
unconscious and Catherine made sure to take care of him herself. She wrung the
water on the towel and wiped his arm with it. Suddenly, something occurred to
her. She smiled and muttered to herself, “You always prioritize your hygiene.
Usually, you take a bath twice a day. Now I only wipe your body once every two
days. Are you going to be mad at me when you wake up? Many doctors came to
see you these past few days but none of them could diagnose your disease.
Luke, am I the one to blame? If I hadn't been so stubborn to adopt Vivian, things
like this wouldn't have happened. You always call me smart. You said I always
make a careful calculation of everything. So how come 1 made such a big
mistake? When you wake up, you must scold me again.”

The smile on Catherine’s face became bitter. She truly regretted bringing Vivian
into the Turner family. If she hadn't, their family would have been in a better
situation.

During the first days of Luke’s coma, the Turner family had spent a lot of money,
inviting medical experts from all around the country but none of them could
provide a proper diagnosis. Just like what the initial hospital told them, the cause
of Luke's unconsciousness was still unidentified.

Other family members persuaded Catherine to give up. Luke was known to be
dissolute and wild during his early days. Perhaps his body had been gradually
weakening since then, the signs were simply not that obvious.

Catherine insisted on finding a treatment but her resolve was crumbling each
day. The longer Luke was in a coma, the more uncertain she became. She was
just mulling over the doctor’s reports when a servant knocked on the door and
entered. “Mrs. Turner, a doctor named Jeremy Button from abroad said he
wanted to see you.”

“Jeremy Button? Why haven't I heard of this doctor’s name?” Catherine’s hope of
finding out Luke's problem had dwindled now. But since the doctor came all the
way from abroad, Catherine decided to let Jeremy see Luke out of respect. “Let
him in,” she said.

A servant led Jeremy into the ward. A frown immediately appeared on
Catherine's face the moment she saw the cold-looking man. She had doubts
about him. The man might be good-looking, but there was a hint of slyness in his
eyes.

Besides, Jeremy looked young. He didn’t seem to have enough experience.
“Check on him, please. Thank you for coming here despite the long distance. The
Turner family will reimburse you for the traveling expenses.” Catherine sat down,
taking a sip of the tea the servant brought in.

Jeremy simply nodded. He only spoke after checking Luke's body. “It should be
the rejection after the liver transplant,” he concluded.

Catherine was not surprised. Calmly, she said, “I have the same thoughts but the
doctor said everything was normal. Thank you, Dr. Button. You can leave now.”
It was not a fresh conclusion. Multiple doctors had suggested the same thing but
couldn't find a solution for it. So what was the point?

Jeremy remained standing on his spot. He opened the medical kit and took out a
syringe. Looking back at Catherine, he asked, “Do you not want me to treat Mr.
Turner? He will wake up soon after the injection.”

The teacup Catherine was holding almost spilled as her hand shook. She put it
down and asked in disbenefit, “Are you telling the truth?”

Jeremy administered the injection to Luke. A few minutes later, Luke's eyelids
fluttered, and his fingers moved. The medicine had worked.

The servant, who was taking care of Luke, pointed at him with a trembling finger
and exclaimed, “Mrs. Turner, Mr. Turner is waking up!”

Everyone's faces lit up at once. Catherine rushed to the bedside, knelt down, and
held Luke's hand. “Are you really awake?”

With all his strength, Luke opened his eyes and looked around. “Where am I? Am
lin a hospital?” When he finished speaking, he tried propping himself up, only to
find that he had no strength to do so. He fell awkwardly on the bed and shouted
hysterically, “I need to go to the company. 1 can’t let them get the Turner Group!”
“You just woke up. Don’t move. Don’t worry about the company. I will deal with it
myself.” Catherine was overjoyed that she did not even have time to wipe her
tears.

She turned around to thank Jeremy But then, Luke had slipped back into a coma.
He lay motionless on the bed as though his brief awakening had been nothing
more than Catherine’s own imagination.

“Luke, can you hear me?! Luke!” Catherine repeatedly called her husband's
name, but he did not wake up again. She wiped the tears off her face and looked
back at Jeremy. “Dr. Button, what's going on?”

Jeremy, who had just finished arranging his medical kit, smiled and calmly said.
“Relax. It's because I just injected 1% of the dose.”

“What?!” Catherine stood up and stared at him with narrowed eyes. It did not
take long before she realized that something was wrong. “How much do you
want? I'm willing to pay as long as you cure Luke.”

Jeremy raised his eyebrows and applauded elegantly. “Bravo, Mrs. Turner. You
really are intelligent. It's no wonder you come from a noble family.”

“Cut the bullshit, Jeremy. What exactly do you want?” Catherine asked crossly
She could not rest assured unless she heard the answer from his mouth.
Jeremy took out a document from his medical kit and handed it to her. “You just
need to sign this share transfer agreement. Then, I'll cure Luke right away.”
Catherine quickly perused the agreement, and her pupils contracted at the
tightly-spaced words on the page.

In a fit of anger, she flung the documents at Jeremy's face and accused him.
“You're the one who took away Vivian's shares, aren't you?!”

Jeremy's face turned slightly red as the documents struck him. But instead of
bursting into anger, he just picked them up from the floor and calmly placed them
on the table. “It's true. I've also bought a lot of shares of the Turner Group from
other places. It won't be long before that company becomes mine. I won't force
you to sign the agreement. But just so you know, nobody can save your dear
husband but me.”

Just as Jeremy was about to turn around to leave, Catherine stopped him. With
the help of a servant, she walked over to him and asked, “Why do you want to
get the Turner Group?”

She had no idea who Jeremy was, much less had enmity with him.

Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and casually answered, “I've always had high
hopes for the Turner Group. However, over the past few years, it hasn't thrived
under Luke’s leadership. I'm confident that the Turner Group will flourish under
mine,”

“Bullshit!” Catherine gnashed her teeth in pure hatred. She felt so weak that if it
had not been for the servant, she might have collapsed.

Why did Vivian transfer her shares to Jeremy, though?

There was only one possible reason for that. Jeremy must have sent Vivian to
infiltrate the Turner family, and Catherine had unwittingly fallen into their
elaborate scheme.

“You want to destroy our family, don’t you? If you want the shares, we can sit
down and talk! Why are you taking advantage of the situation?” Catherine
laughed sardonically and added, “l wouldn't be surprised if I found out that you
caused Luke's coma.”

Jeremy smiled faintly and replied, “Since you sound so sure, why don’t you call
the police and have me interrogated for, say, three days? Let's see who'll die first:
Luke or me?”
