Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 222: The Hunter and the Hunted
(Delvin's POV)"We're here, sir," the driver said.I let out a deep breath and pushed the car door open.The familiar cool air greeted me before I even stepped out of the car.I stood still, staring at the building in front of me... The place I had once called home. The place where I had lived with my parents as a happy family.After Dad died, we moved into the Barrington family mansion. That was where I ended up living under the same roof as Simon.I used to come here whenever I missed Dad. But I wasn't here for that reason tonight.There was a family matter that needed to be settled. That was exactly why I came here tonight.My side still ached a little, but I forced myself to walk into the building."You're right on time, sir," the guard I had put in charge greeted as soon as he saw me approaching."Is everything ready?" I asked quietly."Yes, sir," he replied.I nodded once and adjusted my cufflinks."And him?" I asked."He's in the living room," he answered.I nodded again.Perfe
Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 221: The Past Can Wait
(Fabian's POV)I looked into her eyes for a long moment before letting out a slow breath."Susan just called," I said quietly."Susan?" Vivian asked, her brows furrowing.I nodded. "Steve's mother."Her expression changed immediately, and she folded her arms tightly across her chest."What does she want now?" she asked.Some days ago, during one of our deep conversations about our families, I had told her about Susan and everything that had been happening recently. But I hadn't told her that we met her today."Actually... she's leaving," I said quietly.Vivian's brows shot up in disbelief."Really? She came here to cause trouble, and now she's leaving already?" she asked. "Just like that? Is this another trick of hers?"A small smile formed on my lips as I gently wrapped my arms around her waist."I went to see her today, and we made a deal," I said.I started explaining everything that had happened that day. I told her about our confrontation with Susan, the agreement, and even the p
Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 220: A New Chapter for Fabian
(Fabian's POV)"Are those for me?" she asked softly."Uhm..." I swallowed hard and looked down at the flowers in my hands.My heart pounded heavily in my chest.I was nervous. Maybe it was because I had never done this for anyone else before except Aliana.I had never even thought about buying flowers for another woman.But somehow, I had found myself remembering every little detail about Vivian.Vivian raised a teasing eyebrow, silently reminding me that she was still waiting for an answer."Yeah..." I finally managed to say. "They're... they're for you."I immediately held the flowers out to her."I... I saw them on my way home, and I thought you might like them," I explained.I didn't even know why I felt the need to explain myself. Maybe because I didn't want the moment to feel awkward.Ever since that day I lost control and kissed her, I hadn't known how to act around her anymore.We had both been acting as though nothing had happened. Even after we returned from visiting Aliana
Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 219: An Apology at Last
(Fabian's POV)Dad remained silent throughout our journey away from the lounge.His eyes stayed fixed downward. He didn't raise his head even once to look at me.He was probably too ashamed to meet my eyes. Maybe he was disappointed in himself, knowing that I had ended up being the one who stood up for him.A father was supposed to protect his children. But somehow, I was the one protecting him."Drive me home first," Dad finally said, his voice coming out small and weak.I stared at him. He wasn't going to the office?After everything that had happened, he was probably no longer in the mood to deal with work.The driver nodded slightly and turned the car toward the family mansion.After a short while, we arrived at the house.Dad reached for the car handle, but he suddenly paused.His hand hovered over the door for a moment, as if he was struggling with something.Then, quietly, he turned back and finally looked at me.For the first time since we left the lounge, our eyes met.His ey
Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 218: The Trap She Never Saw Coming
(Fabian's POV)I stared at her for a long moment, then let out a quiet laugh."You really think you've got the last shot, don't you?" I asked.Susan blinked, caught off guard. The proud smile on her face slowly disappeared as she tried to understand what I meant."Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't give in to blackmail," I said calmly. "No matter how important something is to me, I will never trade justice for it."Susan's expression stiffened.She stared at me in disbelief. She had probably expected me to panic and agree to her terms immediately.Finding my half-sister was important.So was getting justice for Aliana.That poor girl had faced so much danger because of Steve. I wasn't going to fail her now."Steve made his own choices, and he'll have to face the consequences of those choices," I said."You..." Susan muttered, unable to hide her shock."However," I continued, "if you tell me where my sister is... I might do something to see that Steve's sentence is reduced.
Doctor, Please Be My Wife Again Chapter 217: The Ultimate Bargain
(Fabian's POV)"How dare you send me that kind of message?" Dad demanded.I knew exactly what this was about and why he had immediately demanded to see her.The threats. The fear of being exposed. The reason he had paid her off wasn't because he wanted to keep peace in the family. It was because he was terrified that people would discover the truth."You're keeping my son in jail. Of course, I need to do something," she said calmly, completely unbothered. "Even if it means exposing the truth."Dad's expression faltered for a brief moment. She had struck the exact place he hated the most.But he quickly recovered. He pointed an angry finger at her, his chest rising and falling heavily with rage."I dare you to do that and see exactly what happens to people who cross me," Dad fumed."Why?" she asked casually, as if his threat meant nothing to her. "Are you ashamed of your ugly, dirty secret?"Dad's jaw tightened, but he said nothing.He knew the truth. The fear of being exposed was pro
