Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

She was wondering why Acdan walked straight to her car and knocked on the window.

Iris rolled down the car window.

“Prof. Steele,…”

“This bracelet, is yours!”

She had just spoken when Aedan pulled out her bracelet from the pocket of his coat. The bracelet dangled in front of the car window, catching her eye.

Iris understood what happened, and suddenly smiled.

She had already realized that her bracelet was missing, searched many places, but never expected it was in Aedan’s office at the hospital.

This bracelet was a birthday gift from Julian, and she has been wearing it for years.

“When you went to the hospital on Sunday, you left it in my office,” Aedan said again.

Iris undid her seatbelt, opened the door, got out of the car, and stood in front of Aedan.

Aedan handed her the bracelet and carefully said, “Check if there’s any issue.”

Iris took it and glanced at it.

Sure enough, it broke because I wore it for too long.

“Thank you, this bracelet means a lot to me, I thought I would never find it again.” She was really grateful.

Aedan nodded slightly at her, didn’t say anything else, and turned to leave.

“Prof. Steele!”

Iris suddenly shouted at him again.

Aedan stopped and turned around. In the dim light, his eyes behind the lenses were bright and warm.

His gaze, Iris felt, was particularly familiar.

“Anything else?” Aedan asked.

“Can I ask you two professional questions?” Iris said.

She looked natural, with bright eyes, and was very generous.

“Sorry, there’s an emergency surgery waiting for me.”

Aedan said, took out his phone from his pocket, opened it, handed it to her, and said, “You can add my WhatsApp and send me any questions you have.”

Iris glanced at his phone, slightly surprised.

“Okay,” she agreed, quickly taking out her phone, scanning him, and requesting to add him as a friend.

After she finished sweeping, Aedan put away his phone.

“He left first,” he said.

Iris nodded, “Thanks, Prof. Steele.”

Aedan didn’t hesitate, he got in the car and drove off in a hurry.

Iris stood there, watching as his car disappeared, then turned around and got in, driving away.

***

Last night, Iris’s friend request was still pending.

She didn’t care.

The next morning, she woke up and instinctively reached for her phone to check it.

Aedan already accepted her friend request and added her.

Iris looked at the time and it was already past three in the morning.

At this time, Aedan hadn’t even rested yet.

But then again, think about it.

Last night after class it was already past nine, but he still rushed to the hospital for surgery.

It seems being a doctor is really not easy.

What’s more, Aedan was already a young expert and a distinguished professor at Ontaden University.

His efforts, definitely not something ordinary people can compare.

Considering he went to bed so late last night, Iris didn’t immediately disturb him. Instead, around noon, she guessed he was resting and sent him the two questions she wanted to ask.

She asked about two problems that the R&D department of Powell Pharmaceuticals had encountered, which were not related to classroom

knowledge.

Powell Pharmaceuticals was working on developing treatment drugs for cervical and breast cancer in women, but they faced many obstacles.

Aedan was an authority in gynecology. Iris believed that as long as he answered her questions seriously, his thoughts and insights would definitely be helpful for the development of the new drug.

However, Iris didn’t expect that when she sent out the two questions, it was like dropping a stone into the sea. One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, until Sunday noon, Aedan still hadn’t replied to her.

Iris thought, He was probably too busy, didn’t even see her question, or saw it and then forgot because he was so busy.

Furthermore, the two questions she asked were not just ordinary questions, the entire research team at Powell Pharmaceuticals had not made any breakthroughs for almost a month.

Now, she wanted Aedan, this busy man who had no interest in her, to seriously answer her two difficult questions, which was really asking for the impossible.

Aedan really had to put in a lot of effort to answer seriously.

If he just brushed it off, his authority as an expert and visiting professor would be questioned by her.

So, he just didn’t answer, which was the best choice.

Upon realizing this, Iris suddenly realized that she had been too presumptuous.

She’s just a student who has only met a couple of times, why does she

She couldn’t go bother Acdan anymore.
