Serena’s Point of View

After protesting that he wasn't sleepy for close to an hour, Adrian finally fell asleep.

However, his fingers were still wrapped around mine even in his sleep.

I sat quietly beside him, watching how peaceful and relaxed his face looked.

I always wanted my Adrian to look like this.

Peaceful and stress-free.

But unfortunately, he was far from being like that when he was awake.

Especially with his father and whatever plans he had against Adrian.

Adrian had told me everything

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   207. The Version You Know

    Adrian’s Point of View“I'm going to get something to drink.”Serena stood from the chair beside my bed.I immediately frowned.“Didn't you just have coffee?”“That was hours ago, Adrian. I'm thirsty.”I kept staring at her, but she completely ignored me and picked up her phone from the table.I could understand what was going on.Noah had come to visit me just five minutes ago, and now Serena had suddenly decided she was thirsty.She had already told me about the discussion she'd had with Noah.Now Noah knew that I was the man she loved.And actually, it was a relief.I hoped he wouldn't have any unwanted feelings for her anymore.But there were other things I needed to discuss with him, and Serena thought this was the right time to do it.She leaned down and kissed my cheek.“I'll be back soon.”“You don't have to leave.”“Yes, I do.”She smiled at me before turning to Noah.“Don't annoy him.”Noah frowned at her.“Why are you telling me that?”“Because I know how much you love to d

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   206. For the Rest of Our Lives

    Serena’s Point of View“Sweet or savory?”“Huh?” I looked at Sofia.The cafeteria was a bit crowded.Most people were looking at the beautiful woman who was elegantly dressed and looked like she didn't belong in a hospital cafeteria.But completely unbothered by all the stares she was receiving, Sofia was focused on reading the menu.What Noah had said was actually true. Sofia and Adrian had a similar kind of temperament when it came to things like this.“What would you like to eat with your coffee?”She looked at me.“I'm not hungry.”“You need to eat. You need energy to take care of him, at least.”I smiled.“You sound like Adrian.”“That's terrifying. Don't ever say that again.”My smile turned into a laugh. Finally, we ended up buying two pieces of blueberry cheesecake and cappuccinos.We found a quiet table near the window.As we ate, we talked about random things.My work.Her work.How much Adrian hated being stuck in the hospital.It was surprisingly easy to talk to her.“He

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   205. I'm Not Going To Steal Her

    Serena's Point of View"Adrian, eat another bite. You're eating too little these days."I pouted at him."How are you even planning to recover like this?"I was helping him eat, and we weren't even halfway through his meal before he started complaining."I'm full.""How can you be full? You haven't even eaten half of your meal.""I just lie here all day, doing nothing. How can I even digest all the food you are asking me to eat?"Before I could tell him anything, there was a knock on the door.Then, before either of us could even ask who it was, the door opened and Sofia walked inside."Hey, you two."She smiled as she walked toward the bed.There was a small paper bag and a thermos lunch box in her hands."I'm done."Adrian quickly pushed the food tray away.He had clearly used Sofia's arrival as an opportunity to stop eating."You're not done."I narrowed my eyes on him.Sofia laughed."I see he's already driving you crazy.""He is.""I just said I can't eat anymore. I'm full."Adri

It made me feel suffocated.But I'd seen the fear in his eyes as he explained everything to me.Adrian had a lot to deal with right now.I didn't want him worrying about me too.If knowing I was safe could take at least some of the st

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   203. Not Taking Any Risks

    Adrian’s Point of ViewI was still staring at the closed door even a few seconds after my father left.Otherwise, even she won't know what's coming for her.My hand tightened around the blanket.I knew my father well.He hadn't made any open threats until now.And today, he finally had.It wasn't an empty threat.I reached for my phone and called Watson.He answered after the second ring.“Sir?”“Where are you?”“At the office.”“Is Serena still at her apartment?”Serena had gone home because she needed to pick up a few things. She had practically stayed at the hospital since I was admitted, and obviously, she had no plans to leave me until I was able to go home.“Yes. I think she's still busy packing. Garry is downstairs waiting for her.”My jaw tightened.“She's alone upstairs?”“Yes. Garry will let me know the moment she comes down.”“Ask him to go upstairs and wait in front of her door.”Watson paused for a moment.“Okay. I'll call you back.”He hung up.I knew nothing would proba

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   202. She Won’t Know What’s Coming for Her

    Adrian’s Point of ViewI simply stared at him quietly, recalling what Serena had told me.It was my father who had sent everyone else out and asked Noah to bring her to me when I woke up and refused to even let the doctors examine me until I saw her.“So you sent everyone out and asked Noah to bring her because you felt sorry for me?”“Otherwise, why do you think I endured your childish drama?”“No… It's just…”I stared at him.“I didn't know you were actually capable of feeling something like that for me.”His face darkened.“Adrian, I am your father. What do you think of me?”What could I think of him?He'd had an affair with another woman and even brought her and her child into our home while my mother was still alive.But without saying any of that, I simply kept looking at him.“I could have asked the doctors to examine you even if you protested. I could have refused to let her enter this room. I could have thrown her out of the hospital the moment I knew she was here.”I swallow
