Reuben opened his eyes slowly, his forehead frowning from the sharp headache pounding through his skull. He let out a deep sigh, realizing once again that he was still in the hospital. He had woken up before but had drifted back to sleep from the pain.

He tried to sit up but gasped, a low groan escaping his lips as pain shot through his injured shoulder.

“Damn you, Denovon,” he muttered angrily under his breath.

“You’re awake. Let me help you,” a soft voice said.

Reuben turned his head sharply and saw a caregiver walking toward him. His expression darkened, but he said nothing. He needed the help, even if he hated it. The woman gently supported him until he was sitting upright, then walked over to the table to pour him a glass of water.

Reuben took a slow breath and glanced down...then blinked. His leg. The cuff was gone.

When he’d woken earlier, his leg had been chained to the hospital bed, and two policemen had been seated in the room watching him. Now, they were gone.

  • The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland    Chapter 229:

    Vivienne parked her car neatly in the mall's parking lot and exhaled, checking her purse before stepping out.She had spent half the morning thinking about what to get for Leo’s father, whose birthday was tomorrow, and she still didn’t know what to buy since he seemed to have almost everything.Adjusting the strap of her handbag, she started walking toward the mall entrance when a familiar voice, sharp and dripping with disdain, cut through the air.“Well, if it isn’t the so-called famous fiancée,” Serena Turner said, standing just a few steps ahead with a younger woman whom Vivienne recognized as her sister. Both were dressed elegantly, their expensive heels clicking against the pavement as they approached.Vivienne sighed deeply. She really didn’t want to see or talk to them. If she had known they would be here, she would have gone to another mall instead.These past few weeks, Serena had not allowed her to rest. She still hadn’t accepted the fact that Leo and Vivienne were together

    The food arrived not long after, and before Reuben could say a word or stand up to get it from the delivery man, Claire had already rushed to the door to collect it.She placed the bags on the table, humming happily as she unpacked them one by one.“Finally,” she said with a sigh of relief. “I thought I was going to die of hunger tonight.”Reuben leaned back on the couch, watching her quietly. The way her face lit up over food was something he couldn’t explain.Claire opened one of the containers, took a bite, and let out a soft moan.“Oh, this is so good,” she said with her mouth full. “You should try this one too, Reuben.”Reuben’s heart skipped and pounded at the sound of her soft moan, and he quickly looked away. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. How could her innocent sound make his body react like that?“It’s really good. You should try it,” Claire said again as she ate.Reuben didn’t answer. He simply stood up and walked over to the table. Pulling out a chair, he

    Reuben pushed the door of his apartment open and stepped in quietly. The silence inside felt heavy like his heart. He shut the door behind him and stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the floor.Emily's voice still echoed in his head.“You can’t just leave like that, Brother Reuben… We have barely known each other yet. We are family.”Her trembling voice replayed over and over, stabbing at his heart each time. He rubbed his face roughly, sighing deeply.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath.He wanted to leave. He needed to leave. Staying here would only make things harder for him. He didn’t want to face the Rowland family again. He wanted to go back to his men, to the life that made sense ...simple, cold, and distant. But no matter how much he tried to convince himself now, Emily’s pleading eyes wouldn’t leave his mind. The way she had looked at him, it felt like someone had reached inside and twisted something in his chest.Reuben walked into the living room and dropped on

    Reuben stood in the hallway for a while after leaving the apartment. He ran a hand through his hair and exhaled deeply before heading toward the elevator.He didn’t understand why he felt the need to make sure she was safe. He had already done more than he planned to, but somehow, leaving her in that old building didn’t sit right with him.“Stubborn woman,” he said with a faint smile, remembering their conversation and argument throughout the drive to Willow Town—how she had challenged him and talked back to him without fear.He got into his car and drove out of the apartment, heading straight to the Rowland family mansion. He wasn’t sure if Emily and Denovon had returned to their villa yet, but his instinct told him they were still at the mansion.At the Rowland Family MansionDenovon was sitting in the garden, enjoying the fresh air while going through the project document Emily had brought home yesterday. He couldn’t read it the night before because he had come home late and drunk.

    It was evening when Reuben and Claire reached the city. The hum of traffic grew louder, headlights flashing against the car windows as they entered the busier streets.Claire leaned her head against the window, watching the buildings roll past one after another. After spending a few hours in Willow Town, the city suddenly felt too harsh. It reminded her that she was back and without a job since she lost hers.She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and swallowed the lump in her throat.Reuben drove in silence, but every now and then, his eyes flicked toward her, just to check. She looked pale, tired, and deep in thought.“Where do you live?” Reuben asked quietly, giving her a brief glance.Claire turned her head and told him her address.Reuben nodded and drove for a while until he slowed down and turned into a quieter street. Older buildings lined the road ... paint peeling, balconies crowded with hanging laundry and flower pots.“You live here?” Reuben asked with a frown when he stopped

    Denovon slowly opened his eyes. His head felt heavy, and a dull pain throbbed behind his temples. He blinked a few times, his vision adjusting to the soft light of the room. He was lying on the bed.A sharp sting hit his head when he tried to move. He hissed and inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay still for a moment. His throat felt dry, like he hadn’t drunk water in days, and his tongue grazed the roof of his mouth as he tried to swallow.When he shifted his arm, something tugged lightly at his hand. He frowned and turned to see a clear tube running from a bag of IV fluid into his vein. The cool sensation trickled through him.“What the…” he muttered under his breath, frowning as he forced himself upright. He leaned weakly against the headboard, his mind spinning. How did he end up like this?The last thing he remembered was Emily’s soft breath against his neck, the warmth of her body close to his. Then everything had gone blank.Just then, the door opened, and Emily stepped in,
