Now that I was out of the picture and Linda was about to divorce with me, they could finally make it happen.
Before Linda could say anything, a colleague walked in, "Dr. Cardel is so good to her husband, coming to guard him every day."
Hearing this, my parents assumed it was a done deal, while Hans blushed slightly.
But Linda's face showed anger instead, "Who told you he's my husband?"
The colleague didn't notice Linda's expression and laughed, "Everyone in the department knows. Don't pretend anymore." After saying that, she hurried off to work.
My parents pulled Linda aside, "Linda, since Herbert isn't around and everyone thinks Hans is your husband, they'll take better care of him."
Seeing Hans's pale face, Linda forced down her anger.
Back in the office, before Linda could find that colleague to ask questions, someone said her mentor had arrived. Hearing this, Linda quickly ran to the director's office.
The moment she saw Derek Albine, Linda rushed up and shake hands with him, "Dr. Albine, it's been so many years, how's your health?"
Derek nodded, then smiled and looked Linda up and down. "I heard you performed a heart transplant. Truly the student surpasses the mentor."
