The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 627
Chris looked away. "No need. Adriana will be back any minute. You should get going.""Burn the bridge the second you're across it, huh?" Alex tossed out those five words and left.Adriana came back quickly with the food. She set up the tray table over the hospital bed and laid the containers out one by one, steam curling up between them."These are all things you usually like. Eat some, at least.""With you here, of course I'll eat." Chris picked up his bowl and shoveled in a large mouthful.Seeing him actually eat, Adriana finally smiled, satisfied. "That's more like it."She sat down at the foot of the bed and started on her own portion, keeping him company.Between bites, Chris mentioned, offhand, "Dean gets out in a couple of days. I want to go pick him up."Her spoon paused. She was quiet for a moment before asking, "Are you well enough to leave the hospital for that?""Should be fine." Chris kept his eyes down. "He's still my brother, whatever else. I don't want him comi

Adriana knew exactly what Francesco wanted to hear, but she refused to give it to him."Thanks for the warning. I don't think I'll be leaving the kids alone with you again."Her tone stayed flat, but the corner of her mouth crept up.Francesco apologized at lightning speed. "My bad. I shouldn't have asked. From now on, less talking, more doing."If his hands hadn't been on the wheel, he'd have thrown them up in surrender right then.He caught her satisfied expression out of the corner of his eye, and despite himself, his own mouth curved to match.Adriana laughed and turned to check on the two kids in the back seat.Maeve had already fallen asleep, her small head tipped to one side in the car seat. Milo's eyes darted back and forth, fixed on the streetlights sliding past outside, the flickering glow washing over his round little face.The car eased into the complex and rolled to a stop. Adriana had Francesco carry Maeve, since she was already asleep — his arms were strong enoug

The twins carried the memory of Adriana's parents forward, and she wanted them to grow up knowing their grandparents had existed.Richard added, "Adriana picked wonderful names. I like them a lot."With both his son and grandson weighing in, Scott let the matter drop, though his gaze drifted quietly between Francesco and Adriana, thoughtful.Just then, a member of the staff announced dinner was ready, and the group moved to the dining room.The Stanley family had thought of everything—two baby high chairs were already set up at the table. Francesco settled Milo and Maeve into them with practiced ease, tied on their bibs, and even had special baby-sized bowls and spoons prepared just for them.Richard smiled. "Adriana, Francesco arranged all of this. If anything's missing, just tell him, and he'll go buy it.""Nothing's missing."Adriana's gaze lingered on the two small bowls and spoons. After a pause, she looked up at Francesco. "Thank you, on the kids' behalf."Scott and Richa

Francesco walked over and said softly, "Let's head inside."Adriana nodded and turned to wave the twins over. "Come on, babies, let's go play inside."Francesco stepped ahead and scooped up both children at once, one in each arm."Daddy's going to wash you some strawberries. Sound good?"Maeve answered with a soft, agreeable "'kay." Milo said nothing, just stuffed his fist into his mouth, drool running down his hand.Francesco set them both on the couch. The staff had already washed the strawberries—per Scott's instructions, only the tips had been cut and served in small cartoon bowls.Milo's eyes lit up, and he reached for one immediately, only for Francesco to stop him. He pulled out a pack of baby wipes and cleaned both children's hands thoroughly, not missing a single finger."There. Now you can eat."Richard watched from the side, a smile spreading across his face. "Francesco's far more careful than I was when I first became a father."Adriana smiled faintly at that, lift

Adriana gave a calm smile, her expression unbothered. "I never thought about wanting the Stanleys' money. What I make is already more than enough to keep my kids comfortable for life."Take a favor, and you owe a favor back. Take a cent, and you pay for it eventually. Her children didn't need to hold their hands out for anyone else's money.Bella settled into the massage chair, rubbing her sore shoulders with a sigh. "Tell me about it. I work myself half to death every day just so Pomme never has to worry about anything."Adriana sat down in Bella's office chair and asked, offhand, "How are things with Nicholas?"Bella closed her eyes, comfortable, her voice going lazy. "He's probably been busy the last couple of days. I have too, honestly—we haven't talked much. If you hadn't brought it up, I might've forgotten I was even seeing someone."She laughed. "Might be for the best, though. Young guys have too much energy. Keeping up with him every day is exhausting."Adriana shook her

Francesco quickly found the clip. He set the tablet on the table and waved Mars and Margaret closer."Did you hear that? Maeve called me Dada too."Adriana's hand twitched toward the tablet, meaning to shut it off, but the moment her fingers moved, her gaze caught on the unguarded joy on Francesco's face. That flicker of light softened something in her chest, and in the end, she couldn't bring herself to interrupt.Mars watched his boss make a complete fool of himself and couldn't help but smile.The footage kept playing, and when Maeve mimicked her brother and babbled out her own "Dada," Francesco nearly leapt out of his chair, slapping his palm flat on the table."My daughter!"Mars deadpanned, "Boss, you don't have to be this excited about it."Margaret gave him away instantly. "When our kids said Dada for the first time, you jumped straight into the backyard pool. In the middle of winter."Adriana burst out laughing. She never would have guessed that Mars—tall, broad-should

Adriana dragged her exhausted body home, barely responding as Chris's voice called after her without even looking up.Resigning from her job was out of the question. She couldn't miss the chance to study and work in the lab. If she could develop an intelligent device that allowed Chris to walk norm

"We haven't even been at the hospital long. How did your family find out so fast?""Someone must have told my dad. They said I publicly humiliated and scolded Chris yesterday."Adriana sensed something was wrong and immediately called Chris's assistant."If anyone asks, tell them that Chris went

Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho

Francesco sent Adriana a location from the airport.Francesco: [Arrive before 10 a.m. Private jet.]He didn't mention who would be traveling with her—probably couldn't be bothered.Adriana checked with the company. Charlie confirmed that she would be the only one officially on the trip, though th
