Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 A Medical Visit

Getting taken down a peg like this by a woman–if the story got out, he’d be the laughingstock of the town.

“Your wife must be quite the character.”

“She wasn’t the one who did it. She got upset, and the whole family took turns making their point.”

Everyone was stunned once more.

Seemed his wife held considerable sway in the household.

Everything was prepped. Damian lay on the treatment bed, and Gordon took note of the bruising on his knees.

“Were they trying to break your legs?”

‘Probably, but they didn’t succeed.” Damian offered a faint, wry smile.

Gordon let out a dry snort. “What in the world did you do to deserve a full–family intervention? Now that’s something you don’t see every day.”

Since when did Damian ever take a beating without retaliation?

‘Enough questions. Just get on with it. I still need to figure out how to make sausage rolls to get back in my wife’s good graces.” He closed his eyes, signaling the end of the discussion.

Who would have thought the man who once commanded entire units would now be utterly domesticated by one woman.

Gordon nodded. “This is my daughter, Lynn. She’s been shadowing me for the past two years. I know you have a preference against female clinicians, so I just brought her along for observation today. Do you need her to step out?”

Damian glanced up slightly.

“Hello, I’m Lynn.” Lynn nodded with a polite, professional smile.

“She should leave, I don’t need any fresh complications.” He closed his eyes again.

Gordon nodded, gave Lynn a look, and she pressed her lips together briefly before turning and exiting cloping the door softly

They stayed inside for over half an hour before emerging.

A male resident was applying a cooling salve to Damian’s back.

Gordon said, “There’s some inflammation in the knees, but nothing structural Just be more mindful going forward Don’t upset, your wife again, or you might be looking at a more permanent setback”

Damian had his knees evaluated by Gordon annually, but this year’s checkup had come earlier than scheduled.

He’d knelt for a while in the family hall that day, and with the damp weather, his joints had begun to protest. Knowing it was nothing serious came as a relief.

“Mm.” Damian’s lips curled into a slight, humorless smile

Come by the clinic sometime for a proper scan.”

“Will do.”

Gordon wrote him a prescription, left some specialized ointment for scar management, offered a few final instructions, and then departed with his team.

Gordon and his entourage walked straight out through the corporate lobby. Employees passing by quickly made way. Within half an hour, whispers had spread through every department–the CEO’s old injury had flared up again.

Some were already saying his career was finished, that he wouldn’t last, that he might end up in a wheelchair after a relapse. Others claimed he was a victim of severe domestic abuse, that his wife was a 400–pound brute with a violent streak…

The rumor mill was spinning wildly.

“Mr. Cross, should we issue a statement to correct these rumors?” Dylan asked, wiping a nervous sweat from his brow.

Damian still hadn’t put a shirt on. He remained bare–chested, padding around the CEO’s suite in a pair of loafers.

It was the first time Dylan had seen Damian look so… unguarded, almost like some laid–back guy off the street.

“No need,” Damian replied calmly. “Is the chef here yet?”

“Yes, he’s arrived.” Dylan quickly called to have him shown up.

Lately, Damian had been delegating most of his workload, spending the bulk of his time instead studying culinary techniques.

The chef arrived, bringing fresh ingredients with him.

Damian spent the entire day in the private kitchenette, and the entire executive support staff found themselves unable to leave. There wasn’t much work to do–they ended up taste–testing every variation of sausage rolls Damian produced.

They were practically sick of the sight of them by the end.

Later, however, Damian sent everyone in the executive staff group chat 2,000 dollars each as a “food tasting bonus“.

The next morning, Isabelle enjoyed a selection of delicious sausage rolls.

‘I made a few different fillings. See which ones you like–you can take some extras with you to the studio. Susie smiled as she brought the freshly sausage rolls to the table.

sabelle made a soft sound of acknowledgment. In her experience, rolls were just rolls she wasn’t expecting anything extraordinary She wasn’t particularly fussy.

But with the first bite, she realized these were different. This one had a sweet, almost custard like bean paste filling the first time she’d ever had a roll quite like it

“What’s in this one? Isabelle pointed to another roll

Susie couldn’t quite answer “Why not just try it?”
