Betrayed by My Husband, Taken by His Billionaire Uncle

"Careful."

Derek's calm but commanding voice pulled Olivia out of her thoughts.

She came to her senses at once. Flushed with embarrassment, she quickly stepped away from him and struggled to steady her trembling legs.

Once she had pulled her pants back into place, she turned away from him and covered her heated cheeks with both hands. She needed a moment to calm herself.

She couldn't believe she had reacted like that.

How could she have those thoughts about a man who had treated her with nothing but cold professionalism?

After composing herself, she walked over to his desk and whispered, "Is there really something wrong with me?"

Without pausing, Derek continued typing on the keyboard. His fingers moved across the keys with practiced ease. "From what I can see, this doesn't appear to be a gynecological problem. It's more likely a psychological condition caused by going too long without physical intimacy."

Olivia gripped the edge of her shirt more tightly. "A psychological condition?"

"Yes." A serious look settled on Derek's face. "Your condition is most likely the result of your physical needs going unmet in your marriage. If it continues, the symptoms could become worse."

Fear crept into Olivia's heart. "Then what should I do? Should I make an appointment with a psychiatrist?"

"You don't have to." For a brief moment, Derek looked into her watery eyes before he spoke again. "My advice is to have an honest conversation with your husband. Once your marriage has a healthy physical relationship, your condition should gradually improve."

Embarrassment spread across Olivia's face. "But my husband doesn't want to..."

The frustration in her trembling voice caught Derek off guard.

Unable to meet her gaze any longer, he shifted his attention to the computer screen. "There's no need to hold back with your husband. Tell him exactly what you've been going through and ask him to face this problem with you together. Or..."

After a brief pause, he continued, "You could surprise him once in a while. Let him see a different side of you. There should always be a way to work through this. We'll have to wait for the laboratory results before making any conclusions. They should be ready in a couple of days."

Embarrassment completely overwhelmed Olivia.

She gently bit her lower lip before saying, "Thank you, Doctor." Then, she hurried out of the room, eager to leave before her embarrassment grew any worse.

Only a few moments after she left, the back door opened.

A woman in a white coat stepped inside with a stack of patient files in her arms.

The moment she noticed the new patient file on the desk, she frowned. She grabbed a pen and tossed it at Derek. "Derek, did you see my patient while I was away?"

"Sorry, Sharon. I wasn't sure when you'd be back, and she looked like she needed help right away." Derek removed his surgical mask, remaining completely composed. "So I stepped in."

"This isn't the kind of thing you can casually step in to take over." Sharon shot him an annoyed look. "You may have been my most outstanding student in medical school, but you left medicine to manage your family's company. You're no longer practicing, so what if something had happened during the examination?"

A faint smile appeared on Derek's face. "It was only a routine pelvic exam. Nothing was going to happen."

While lightly drumming his fingers against the desk, he raised his eyes to Sharon. "You called me over as soon as I came back to the country. Did something happen?"

Letting out a quiet sigh, Sharon placed the files onto the desk. "Before your mother passed away, she told me she wanted to see you get married and start a family. I never pressured you while you were building your career abroad. But now that you've returned, it's time to start thinking about your future."

Then, she took out her phone and opened a picture of a beautiful girl. "She's the deputy director's daughter. She's around your age, comes from a respectable family, and she's very pretty. Why don't you consider getting to know her?"

After giving the photo a quick look, Derek replied without hesitation, "She's not my type."

"So what kind of woman are you looking for?"

As soon as Sharon asked the question, Derek unexpectedly thought of the woman who had just walked out. The image of her flushed face lingered in his mind.

"The patient whose file is sitting on your desk." Derek rose to his feet with a teasing smile. "It's a shame she's already married. Maybe you can convince her to leave her husband and marry me instead."

Shock spread across Sharon's face. "Derek!"

"Take it easy, Sharon." As he lightly patted her shoulder, a rare smile appeared on his face. "I know you're only looking out for me, but marriage isn't part of my plans right now. The company still needs my attention. I'll come visit you another day."

After saying that, he walked out of the room.

Sharon watched him leave before letting out a weary sigh and dropping into her chair.

Her attention soon shifted to the patient file resting on the desk. Curious, she opened it. "Let's see what kind of woman managed to catch his interest."
