My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him

Chapter 379: Chapter 373: Scumbag and Bitch!

Lucas Hughes, overwhelmed with emotions, suddenly grabbed Lydia Brooks by the neck and pinned her down to the bed.

His mind was filled with images from their past intimacy, and Lydia had just tearfully confessed everything to him.

Now, looking at her brazen demeanor.

That night, Lucas Hughes was like a mad dog, relentlessly crashing through Lydia Brooks’s body.

It was as if he wanted to vent all of his emotions.

Whether it was the helplessness in facing Alexander Johnson all this time.

Or the longing for Chloe Simpson that could never be fulfilled.

Or perhaps the anger upon learning everything tonight.

Knowing he had been played by Lydia Brooks all along, he felt an impulse to kill her.

But Lucas knew he couldn’t do it.

Otherwise, he would be breaking the law, and killing this woman would benefit him nothing.

On the contrary, it would hinder his path to promotion within the hospital.

Finally, when Lydia Brooks was thrown into unconsciousness, Lucas Hughes regained his sanity.

Half of the anger in his heart had already been vented.

He was exhausted, and he pushed Lydia Brooks aside and lay down to sleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, Lydia Brooks felt extremely satisfied.

Her whole being glowing with joy, she embraced Lucas Hughes, "Lucas, you are truly incredible. I want to die on your bed and never leave it for the rest of my life."

Lucas recalled Lydia’s pleading appearance from the night before and smiled discreetly.

"Is that so? Then how about I give it to you every day? Or maybe you should just move into my place, since Chloe Simpson and I are already divorced, and it’s just me living there."

"Uh, let’s wait for a while, I’ll move to your place later. I just came back, and if I’m not living at home, my dad definitely won’t spare me."

Lydia Brooks used her father as an excuse.

Lucas thought about the things Lydia Brooks said last night, and believed this woman was really good at pretending.

Clearly she was going to sleep with that old guy at the hospital, yet she spoke so sweetly.

No matter, one day, he would make that woman and the old guy at the hospital kneel before him and call him Dad!

"Alright, it’s getting late, we need to go to work, hurry to the hospital. By the way, be careful, apparently there might be trouble looking for you."

"And before my divorce with Chloe Simpson, she always spoke poorly about you, though I never believed her."

Lucas reminisced and added fuel to the fire.

"What? She still wants to give me trouble! She must be tired of living. My uncle is a major shareholder of the hospital; just a snap of his finger could destroy her!"

Lydia Brooks was dismissive and didn’t take Chloe Simpson seriously at all.

"Don’t underestimate that woman. She’s been involved with the eldest of Johnson Family recently, ask around at the hospital and you’ll find out."

Lucas thought of the WeChat message from Selene Wilson this morning and brought up Alexander Johnson.

Perfect, it served two purposes.

Lydia Brooks came back at just the right time!

She could help him advance further in his career, earn more money, and even let him have fun casually.

What’s not to love?

"Alright, I got it, don’t worry, I will be careful."

Lydia Brooks responded impatiently, then she and Lucas Hughes headed to the hospital.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Lydia Brooks recalled what Lucas Hughes said to her earlier, and went to find Chloe Simpson.

"Oh, why is it so hot today? I deliberately wore something thin, yet it’s still so hot that I’m sweating."

Lydia Brooks stood in front of Chloe Simpson deliberately, loosening the buttons on her collar.

A line of bright red markings like strawberry leaves and hickeys fell into Chloe’s view.

Chloe Simpson was stunned for a moment upon seeing it.

She knew Lydia Brooks and Lucas Hughes would inevitably reconnect passionately.

But she didn’t expect it to happen so soon, that they had already been together the previous night during dinner.

However, it seemed the rekindling of old flames was rather normal.

Chloe Simpson smiled as if she hadn’t seen it, and went off to busy herself elsewhere.

"Hey! What’s wrong? Can’t bear it already? Chloe, you know Lucas and I had a private dinner yesterday, surely you can guess what happened next."

"If you can’t bear it on the first day, how will you manage in the days to come? I’m telling you, Lucas and I will be entwined every single day from now on..."

Lydia Brooks boasted proudly.

Chloe Simpson just laughed, "Someone as despicable as Lucas Hughes is only treasure to you. Since that’s the case, hold on tight, I hope you two scumbags and bitches stay together forever!"

"You!"

Lydia Brooks was enraged, but suddenly had a smug look in her eyes and leaned in.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I see you’re just sour grapes! After all, Lucas is so outstanding; how could you be willing to let him go?"

"And you, just a little nurse, will likely never find a man more outstanding than Lucas in your entire life. Now you must be heartbroken to the point of death. Hmph! What’s the use of talking tough? I’m telling you, Lucas won’t return to your side, so stop dreaming."

Chloe Simpson really didn’t expect Lydia Brooks to interpret her words this way.

Well, how could she forget?

Birds of a feather flock together.

Being with someone like Lucas Hughes, she can’t be much better.

What’s the point of entangling with such people? It’s simply a waste of life.

She knew that her main purpose in returning to the hospital was to find out the truth about Mom’s death.

As for Lydia Brooks and Lucas Hughes, those scum, they aren’t even worth a glance.

So, from that day on, Chloe really didn’t spare Lydia another look.

But Lydia Brooks was unwilling to let it go, still jumping around every day.

As a deputy chief nurse, Lydia Brooks stood head and shoulders above Chloe, who was a charge nurse.

First, there was dealing with critical clinical cases and difficult issues.

The deputy chief nurse oversees the most challenging, critical, and interdisciplinary cases in the entire hospital and conducts nursing meetings.

Nursing issues that other departments can’t handle will also come to her for guidance.

Meanwhile, she also leads critical care and designs extremely complex nursing plans.

For instance, handling complex wounds, multiple channels, post-surgery critical care, and rare disease nursing.

During rounds, they are involved in major departmental rounds, guiding all nursing tasks for charge and general nurses throughout.

Next, it’s about quality and safety top-level control.

The deputy chief nurse formulates department/hospital nursing protocols, operational standards, and hospital infection norms.

She not only inspects but also sets the rules.

She conducts technical assessments for nursing errors and incidents.

She analyzes from the root and devises improvement plans for the entire hospital.

Besides, she has to maintain the specialty nursing safety red line, optimizing whole-process risks.

Finally, there is teaching and mentorship, supervising all junior nurses.

The deputy chief nurse mentors charge nurses, nurses, new nurses, interns, and trainee nurses.

She needs to develop hospital-wide training plans, give lectures, and compile teaching materials.

They undertake school nursing lectures, clinical teaching assessments, and cultivate future department backbones.

Oh, and let’s not forget about research and discipline development.

The deputy chief nurse conducts nursing research, introduces new technologies, writes papers, applies for projects, and innovates.

They track domestic and international nursing frontiers and apply new technologies to clinical practice in hospitals.

Besides all these, the deputy chief nurse also manages administration and is considered a high-level position in the hospital.

She assists the Nursing Department and the department’s head nurse in overall management.

The deputy chief nurse is akin to a super head nurse of the ward.

She implements the Nursing Department’s policies, coordinates nursing manpower, materials, and discipline construction across multiple wards.

So, Chloe was naturally within her management scope.

She naturally took every opportunity to make things difficult for Chloe.

Apart from assigning Chloe the heaviest and most difficult patients in the ward, Lydia also checked whether the general nurses were administering medications and injections properly.

In her spare time, she would have Chloe give explanations and training to new nurses.

Even the mundane tasks of making beds and fetching water, which didn’t need to be done every day, Lydia wouldn’t spare Chloe from them.

After a week, Chloe was so exhausted she couldn’t take it anymore and fainted directly in the emergency toilet.

Meanwhile, Lydia wasn’t doing anything except keeping a close watch on Chloe every day.

When Chloe arrived, Lydia happened to be there and quickly walked over.

"Oh, what’s this act? I haven’t even said two words to you, and you’ve already fainted! Hurry up and get up!"

Seeing Chloe faint, Lydia felt extremely smug. Not only did she not immediately arrange for someone to check on her, she even kicked Chloe with her foot.

Seeing that Chloe had truly fainted, she looked at Chloe’s sleeping face and picked up a pair of medical scissors from nearby.

"Chloe, you brought this upon yourself, so don’t blame me. Hmph, besides this pretty face, what else do you have that’s better than me?"

"In terms of figure, family background, or connections, you can’t compare with me. Why should you get to marry Lucas Hughes? Let me tell you, I have never lost when it comes to men."

"Even if I don’t love Lucas Hughes that much, and even though he isn’t a necessity for me, I will not allow myself to lose. No! You must be trying to snatch him from me because being with Lucas is so delightful, to an unimaginable extent!"

"I never noticed before, but from now on, you’ll have absolutely no chance to compete with me!"

Lydia gestured with the scissors over Chloe’s face continuously.

"Should I make a cut on your left cheek or your right cheek? Or perhaps slice both your left and right cheeks! Hahaha!"

"Like this, any man who sees you would be disgusted, let alone Lucas!"

Lydia laughed triumphantly, raising the scissors and stabbing them into Chloe’s face.

"Ah!"
