Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 220: Beyond Expectations
Outside the ICU.Sienna requested permission to see her father.However, the attending nurse first checked the log on her clipboard, then scanned the group one by one."I'm sorry, only two visitors are allowed inside at a time. The limit is ten minutes."Damian turned to Sienna. "Who are you going in with?""With Lupita," Sienna answered softly. "She's his wife, and she'll surely want to see him."Damian wanted to object, but he saw Sienna lifting her chin with that familiar, quiet determination. He gave her hand a brief squeeze. "I'll wait outside. If anything happens, come right out."Sienna nodded.The nurse handed them surgical gowns and masks, instructing them to wash their hands thoroughly first.Lupita put on the gown with stiff, mechanical movements, refusing to look at Sienna even once.Once both of them were dressed according to ICU regulations.The ICU doors glided open.The air inside was chilled and heavy with the scent of antiseptic, while the steady, rhythmic beeping of

Damian's car pulled up in front of the hospital, followed closely by the second vehicle carrying Beatrice and Elena.Damian stepped out first, walked around the car, and opened the door for Sienna. He steadied her elbow until both of Sienna's feet were planted firmly on the pavement."Take it slow," Damian murmured with absolute care."I know." Sienna nodded. Her palms were ice-cold, and she clenched her fingers into fists to keep them from trembling.They walked together down the hallway toward the ICU waiting area. Beatrice walked on Sienna's right, clutching her handbag against her chest, while Elena trailed a step behind them, her sharp eyes scanning every corner of the corridor.Arriving at the ICU wing.Lupita was seated on a long bench outside the ICU doors. She looked up at the sound of footsteps and froze. Her eyes widened as she took in Damian, then Beatrice, and finally Elena. Her fingers tightened around her purse strap.She hadn't anticipated this. She had simply asked Si
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 218: News From Lupita
Sienna swiped her finger across the screen and pressed the phone to her ear. She stepped away toward the corner of the room, putting distance between herself and the children fighting over the books."Hello?""Sienna," Lupita's voice came through the line, tense and entirely devoid of pleasantries. "Your father has been hospitalized."Sienna's grip on the phone tightened instantly. "What happened to Papa?""His condition dropped this morning. He was having trouble breathing, then fainted in his bedroom. He's in the ICU right now." Lupita paused for a fraction of a second, her breathing uneven. "The doctor said the fami
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 217: Tagging Along
Julian pushed open the courtyard gate with one hand. He paused on the paved path upon seeing Elena standing on the porch. He nodded politely, his expression neutral, much like one would greet a passing neighbor.Elena immediately straightened her posture, smoothing the hem of her blouse before lifting her chin as high as she possibly could. Her palms suddenly felt ice-cold."Good afternoon," Julian greeted, halting at the foot of the porch steps. "Miss Elena, right?""Yes." Elena's voice came out sharper than intended. She cleared her throat, then repeated it in a tone meant to sound effortlessly casual. "Yes. You're... Mr. Julian Mercer.""Just Julian," Julian offered a faint smile. "We crossed paths briefly at Damian's house, but we didn't get properly introduced.""Oh. I remember." Elena glanced away toward the courtyard, pretending to be utterly absorbed in the children playing soccer. Her cheeks warmed. "I just... didn't pay much attention back then.""Understandable. The atmosph
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 216: A Peaceful Day
A week later.The southern market project report arrived in Sienna's inbox via email. She read through it while lounging on the sofa, her laptop resting on her lap and a plush pillow tucked behind her back. The vendors had already signed the relocation agreements. The multi-story parking structure had been officially approved by the urban planning department. Both rival developers had withdrawn their bids once the data theft report reached the authorities.Sienna closed her laptop and let out a long, unhurried breath. Her shoulders dropped, and a comforting lightness settled in her chest. She was immensely relieved that everything had gone smoothly, even though she was still confined to home.Her doctor had strictly forbidden her from returning to the office until her condition fully stabilized, leaving her to manage everything remotely. Initially, she worried things might fall apart without her physical presence. Instead, Theo's team operated with seamless precision, and Damian never
Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone! Chapter 215: Damian's Irritation
Julian offered a bitter smile, yet his chest felt lighter than it had in days. The feelings he had harbored in secret for years were finally out in the open, and though rejected, the heavy weight no longer crushed him."I can't take Sienna away from you," Julian said calmly. "So I figured, at least I can be an uncle to your child."Damian narrowed his eyes, his jaw tightening at Julian's declaration. "I won't allow it."How could Damian possibly permit his rival to become an uncle to his children?"Why not?" Julian arched a single brow. "Sienna gave me permission. She was the one who said we are friends, and I intend to remain an uncle to your and Sienna's child. You can't stop that, Damian." Julian deliberately stoked the fire, amused by the rigid expression on Damian's face.Damian opened his mouth to argue, but no words came to mind that felt sharp enough.Watching Damian fall silent, Julian simply offered a polite nod, turned around, and walked out. The sound of his footsteps fade
