Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 349 : You—you actually hit me?
Serena arrived at the pet hospital in a rush, her heels clicking sharply against the sterile white tiles. A cluster of servants was already gathered anxiously in the waiting area, their faces pale, their posture rigid with fear.Rex had been taken into the examination room, and the results were back—he was in critical condition, the vet and nurses working frantically to resuscitate him.The vet, a middle-aged man with sharp features and weariness in his eyes, stepped out, his expression grave. “This isn’t illness,” he said firmly, his voice edged with restrained anger. “Someone has been abusing this dog.”For a moment, Serena forgot to breathe. Her pulse thundered in her ears. “What are you saying?” she demanded, her voice raw, half disbelief, half fury.The vet adjusted his glasses, studying her with a steady gaze, as though confirming whether she was indeed Rex’s owner. “The injuries are consistent with repeated external force. Blows. Kicks, maybe. If you don’t find out who’s behind
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 348 : Kick. Her. Out.
At the gates of Manhattan Villa, Layla stood shivering in the late-summer wind, her hands resting protectively over her belly. The iron bars loomed before her, unyielding, and the two bodyguards stationed there refused to move aside.“Isn’t it the same if I wait for Mr. Vanderbilt inside?” she snapped, her voice edged with desperation. “I’m carrying his baby. If I faint out here, will you take responsibility?”Her words echoed with practiced indignation, but behind her bravado was a mounting fear. She had dodged the paternity test, feigned a hospital stay for a single day, and bolted the moment Cornelius returned to the Vanderbilt Villa. There was no turning back now—her greed had pushed her down a path she could no longer retreat from.The bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances. They knew Layla had been inside before, walking in Alexander’s shadow. He had never explicitly forbidden her entry, and technically, she had accompanied him in the past. Still, her sudden appearance and shrill p

Hugo entered quietly, a glass of water trembling in his hand as he approached the hospital bed. Alexander lay propped against the pillows, his skin pale against the stark white sheets. His lips were cracked, streaked faintly with blood, and his frame looked as though the weeks of unconsciousness had hollowed him out.“Still hung up on her, huh?” Hugo muttered, tipping the glass carefully toward Alexander’s mouth. His voice carried that blend of exasperation and pity only a longtime friend could muster. “You’ve been out cold for more than two weeks, and she hasn’t even bothered to visit.”Alexander’s brows knit together, his gaze unfocused at first, then sharpening as the words sank in. He accepted a small sip, then turned his head slightly toward the window. Morning light filtered through the blinds, painting him in a fragile glow that made his gauntness even more obvious.“Really?” His voice was hoarse, almost broken.He couldn’t wrap his head around it—Serena being so heartless.Hug
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 346 : No strain.
Serena couldn’t tell how much time had passed before the tight knot in her chest finally loosened. With trembling fingers, she bent to retrieve the crutch from the floor and hobbled back into the ward. The sterile smell of disinfectant clung to the air, sharp and suffocating.As soon as she lay down on the hospital bed, an ache unlike anything she had ever known pierced through her chest. It wasn’t physical—it was heavier, deeper, as though her heart itself had been crushed. Instinctively, she curled onto her side and pulled the thin blanket around her, cocooning herself as if it could shield her from the storm inside.Colton had only spoken in vague terms, but even so, she understood—Alexander’s injuries had been far more severe than anyone let on. The image of his tall figure dragging her to safety replayed in her mind, relentless.How could someone so broken have managed that?How much pain had he endured in silence to protect her?She didn’t dare to let the thought unravel further
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 345 : You don’t like him, fine. But don’t ever say he doesn’t like you.
Serena hobbled down the quiet hospital corridor, her crutch tapping against the floor in an uneven rhythm. She paused outside Alexander’s room, leaning against the cold, sterile wall for support. From inside, Layla’s muffled sobs slipped through the thin crack of the door, raw and aching.Every word carried through, striking Serena’s ears like small daggers. Her fingers tightened around the crutch as memories surfaced—Alexander, with that unyielding voice of his, declaring he would marry Layla. He had even set the date for the following week.That was more than two weeks ago. The wedding hadn’t happened yet, postponed because of his condition. But Serena knew the truth: once he opened his eyes, Layla would still be waiting there to claim him. And he would choose her.Serena couldn’t understand what Alexander saw in Layla. But if he cared for her… he must have his reasons. That thought alone hollowed her chest.Her hand hovered over the doorknob for a long moment before she let it fall
Billionaire’s Virgin Ex-Wife * 2nd * Chapter 344 : After everything he’s done for you
The first thing Serena heard as she clawed her way back to consciousness was the murmur of unfamiliar voices, blurred yet urgent.“Ms. Morales should wake up soon.”“Her head—any damage?”“No, just a concussion. She’ll feel dizzy for a few days, but nothing permanent.”“And Mr. Vanderbilt?”“Still in the ICU. If he makes it through today, he has a chance.”The moment Alexander’s name cut through the haze, Serena’s heart lurched. Panic chased away the fog in her mind.Alexander.Images of him in the chaos slammed into her memory—his body shielding hers, the roar of the flood, the earth collapsing beneath them. His chest, his head—both wounded. And then the kiss, light but devastating, lingering on her lips like a promise made in desperation.Her throat tightened. Is he really alright?She wanted to speak, to ask, to demand answers, but her body betrayed her. Her tongue felt like lead, her chest too tight to draw enough air. Darkness pulled her under again.---When she woke next, it wa
