The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 422 You proposed drunk
Kyle's POV"I am not drunk. I am—" Morton paused. Considered this. "—okay yes I'm very drunk. But in my defense, my baby brother just got married and I was the best man and there were many, many toasts.""How many?""Seventeen. I counted." He let go of the doorframe. Tried to walk in a straight line toward the chair. Failed. Course-corrected. Overcorrected. Ended up doing this weird zigzag pattern that would have been funny if he wasn't also clearly about to fall over.Dr. Norbu stepped aside smoothly. Like he'd anticipated this exact scenario.Morton collapsed into the chair the doctor had just vacated. His long legs sprawling out. His head falling back against the cushion."This chair is comfortable," he announced. "Why is hospital furniture so comfortable? Regular furniture should be this comfortable. I should buy hospital furniture for my house.""Morton," I said. "Why are you here?""Because you're my best friend." He lifted his head. Looked at me with bloodshot eyes. "I have so
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 421 Borrowed Time
Kyle's POVDr. Norbu was still in the chair. His burgundy robes pooled around him like liquid. The fabric looked ancient. Hand-woven. The kind of thing looked like it had been passed down through generations of monks in some monastery high in the Himalayas where the air was so thin.He didn't look out of place here though. In this sterile American hospital room with its beeping machines and antiseptic smell and fluorescent lights that hummed like trapped insects.If anything, the room looked wrong around him."You went swimming tonight," he said.Not a question. A statement."I fell in a pool.""That was either very brave or very foolish.""Probably both.""Probably." He smiled. "But you are still here.""Is it?"He reached into his bag. Not the leather medical bag Western doctors carried. This was cloth. Woven. With patterns that hurt to look at too long because they seemed to shift when you weren't paying attention.He pulled out a small vial. Dark glass. Filled with liquid that loo
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 420 I think you're improving, Kyle
Kyle's POVThe hospital room was dark when I got back.Just one lamp. The small one by the bed. Casting that particular yellow glow that made everything look sicker than it was.I closed the door. The click echoed.My clothes were still damp. Not soaking. But damp enough to be uncomfortable. The shirt clung to my back. My pants felt heavy. My socks squelched slightly in my shoes.I should change.The ring box sat in my jacket pocket. I could feel it. That small weight. Pressing against my ribs with each breath.I shouldn't have brought it.The thought had repeated itself the entire drive back. James silent in the front seat. Me in the back. Watching the city lights blur past the window.I pulled the box out now. Velvet. Dark blue. Small enough to fit in my palm.Opened it.The diamond caught the lamplight. Threw it back in fractured pieces. Yellow and white. Dancing across the ceiling. Across the walls.The smaller stones arranged around it like stars. Like the pendant I'd given her w
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 419 Keep them
Mia‘s POVI walked toward the terrace doors, and the crowd parted before me like water around a stone. A few people had that particular look, that said they'd witnessed the entire pool incident and were already composing the story they'd tell at brunch tomorrow.But I found I didn't care.The terrace was quieter than the pavilion, and the air felt cooler against my damp skin. The music was still audible through the glass doors.Kyle stood at the railing with his back turned to me. He'd changed into dry clothes—a dark shirt that hung on his frame, outlining the angles of his shoulders. His hair was still damp, pushed back from his face in a way that looked hasty. A few drops of water still clung to the ends, catching the lamplight when he moved, creating small points of brightness that seemed almost fragile against the darkness beyond the terrace.He didn't turn around when I approached, but I watched his shoulders tense."Kyle," I said.He turned slowly.His face was exhausted.His ey
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 418 On the terrace
Mia's POVSomeone draped a towel over my shoulders.One of those enormous white ones. Hotel quality. Thick enough to feel heavy. Warm.I pulled it tighter. My dress was ruined. The fabric clung to my skin. Water dripped from the hem. Pooling on the marble beneath my feet.Sophie appeared beside me. She had another towel. Smaller. She wrapped it around my hair without asking. Started squeezing the water out with quick efficient motions."You scared us," she said quietly.Her voice had lost that bright theatrical quality. Just flat. Real."I'm fine.""You're not fine. You almost drowned.""I didn't—""You fell in a pool in heels and a dress that weighed ten pounds when it was dry. You would have drowned if Kyle hadn't—" She stopped. Her hands stilled in my hair.I looked up at her.Her face was tight. Eyes red. Like she'd been crying. Or trying very hard not to."You scared us," she said again.Scarlett appeared on my other side. She had clothes. Dry clothes. A simple black dress. Flat
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 417 The Rings
Mia's POVWhy was he going back down? He'd just given away all his air.Twenty seconds passed. Then twenty-five."Kyle!" I tried again, louder this time, destroying my throat even more. I didn't care.Someone appeared beside me—Nate, I realized. His hands were professional and efficient as he tried to check me over, taking my pulse and looking at my eyes.But I pushed him away.Thirty seconds. Thirty-five.It was too long. Way too long. He didn't have enough air for this. His lungs couldn't handle it.Forty seconds stretched by.The water stayed still and empty, just colored lights and ripples reflecting across the surface.Please come up.Then his head broke the surface.He gasped, and it was a horrible sound—wet and ragged, like his lungs were full of water, like he was drowning from the inside.He coughed hard, water coming out of his mouth and nose, his whole body convulsing with the effort.But his hand came up out of the water, reaching toward the edge, reaching toward me.In hi
