Divorced My Scum Husband, Married His Evil brother

"Did Vernon tell you to call me that?" she asked.

"..."

The driver went silent again. He had no intention of replying because it wasn't within his program to do so. All he had to do was to bring the Boss' wife anywhere she wanted and protect her with all his life, so he dared not to answer anything or even smile at her.

He was like a robot, and it was honestly torture.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

Because Madam Phoenix Gray was a very kind woman, and she often asked him one day whether he had a family and offered him some food. She seemed to be a genuinely kind person that would care about you and your well-being.

'I guess it makes sense why Mr. Pheonix Gray is very protective and downright obsessive to her. It won't be hard for any man to fall in love with her, she's very beautiful, and also very kind, a perfect wife material,' the driver thought.

Though he was still single, he wasn't here to have an affair, especially not with his boss's wife. His boss was intimidating enough when he wasn't angry, imagining Mr. Phoenix Gray hunting every last of his family members because of an affair was already a deterrence for him.

'Besides...' The driver looked over his shoulder for a split second to check on her boss' wife. 'I don't think she is the type to have an affair. Mr. Phoenix Gray told me to watch where she was going everyday, but really, so far Madam Phoenix Gray only went to the grocery shop most of the time.'

Vernon told the driver to always keep his eyes on Chloe, but the driver never saw her with another man, nor did she have any contact or gesture that could raise suspicion. She looked like a normal lady, though a very beautiful one, of course. Which was a big contrast compared to Vernon, who often intimidated everyone around him for no real reason.

'I can also see his insecurity though. If I have a wife like her, I will worry that she will get taken by someone else without me knowing,' the driver silently agreed to Vernon's obsession.

"Did Vernon tell you to call me that?" Chloe repeated her question since she didn't get any answer.

The man hesitated momentarily, wondering if it was right to answer that question.

But it seemed that Madam Phoenix Gray wouldn't let him out of this question, so he replied with a nod.

"I see..." Chloe sighed. "You can call me that if Vernon told you to do so. But you can also call me Chloe if you want."

The driver's eyes widened, and he paled instantly.

He shook his head vehemently as if he had just heard something horrific.

Chloe frowned. She didn't understand what was wrong with her statement just now.

She just wanted to be more friendly. Besides, everyone in Vincent's mansion called her Ms. Gray or simply Chloe because they thought they didn't need to be so respectful toward her.

But this strong guy looked horrified just because Chloe told him to call her by her first name as a friendly gesture.

'I wonder what kind of terrible intimidation did Vernon do until this man becomes so terrified because of name calling?' Chloe wondered. 'I don't think that kind of image is good for him. He needs to build a more approachable persona to his subordinates, right?'

"Just so you know, you don't need to be so scared of Vernon. He might look intimidating, but really, he is a kind man," Chloe said, trying to build a better image for Vernon.

'Yeah, he is kind only to you. You won't say that when you're in my position,' the driver replied in his heart.

But he nodded and repeated his question, "Where do you want to go, Madam?"

"..." Chloe sighed. "To the hospital. I have to remove my cast."

"Understood."

Chloe rested her head on the seat while staring at the window, 'Vernon needs to have a more amiable image for himself. He has to realize that his subordinates aren't slaves that he could yell or intimidate for no reason.'

'I'll talk to him later.'

**

Chloe arrived at the hospital an hour later. She had already got a text from Vernon telling her to just go straight to the Doctor's office because Vernon had registered her name with a call.

There was already a nurse waiting for the special guest, so she escorted Chloe to the Doctor's office. It was the same Doctor who treated Chloe a month ago.

"Good morning, Mrs. Phoenix Gray. Your husband told me that you want to remove your cast," the Doctor said. He walked to Chloe and checked the cast that had been doodled by Mackie before. "How are you feeling, Mrs. Phoenix Gray?"

"Morning, Doctor. I'm feeling great. My left hand has been completely healed, and I'm sure my right as well. Please remove it as soon as possible."

"Indeed, luckily, it's just fractured bones, because if it's completely broken or snapped in half, it'll take probably two or three more months to heal," the Doctor checked the cast before he grabbed his tool. "Please stay still, Mrs. Phoenix Gray, I'll break the cast."

Chloe stayed still and silent as the Doctor split the cast with a cast saw, and it didn't take long until the Doctor removed everything, and Chloe finally saw her hand again last month.

The last time she saw it, her right hand was in a pitiful state. It was swollen badly, and Chloe could see some internal bleeding inside her vein because Vincent kept punching her, and she used her hand to shield herself many times.

Vincent wasn't that rough on her most of the time. Usually, he'd slap her once or twice until she cried, and then stopped after he got the satisfaction.

But because Chloe dared to fight back for the first time in her life, Vincent got enraged and beat her mercilessly.

"Alright, Mrs. Phoenix Gray, try using your fingers one by one, then clench your fist, and tell me if you still feel pain," the Doctor instructed.

Chloe did everything and shook her head, "All great, Doctor."

"Great! Congratulations for your recovery, Mrs. Phoenix Gray!"
