The Cherished Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1921 - チャプター 1930

He inhaled deeply. "Yes, t-there is something else.""What's up?"Being stuck in this room with Sean just felt so awkward for Liliana."Charles knows about this."Liliana was surprised at first, but then she felt a sense of relief. "Okay, thanks."Given how close Sean and Charles were, and considering she was in Sean's hospital after her accident, Liliana was not surprised that Sean would tell Charles, even if he had issues with her.Sean squinted. "Are you annoyed?"Liliana looked up and pressed her lips together. "Not at all.""Okay." Sean hesitated. "You don't have to worry about the bills. He's taken care of them."Liliana nodded. "Got it."Then, there was another one of those weird silences between them.Liliana did not know how to act around Sean anymore. Ever since that incident, it felt like they had drifted apart, maybe too far to ever come back.Liliana knew it was not Sean's fault. If she had to blame someone, it was herself for her silly daydreams.Liliana's qu

Sean's eyes were icy as he stared at Joanna. She was so surprised by his words that she froze, unable to move or speak. She just stood there with a look of hurt in her eyes.She had always thought Sean was a loner, but she thought she was the exception. It hurt that he had shut her down so completely without even hearing her out.Joanna had dreamed up so many scenarios of slowly but surely winning him over, as long as he did not push her away. She never expected him to be so harsh.Her sad, hopeful face did not change how Sean felt. He just watched her with the same unemotional eyes he used for strangers or acquaintances. Joanna bit her lip and squeezed her hands tight. It took her a while, but she finally shook off the sadness. Looking straight at Sean, she said with determination, "Sean, I'm not giving up. I'll make it, and I'll show you what I'm capable of with my own strength!" Sean replied indifferently, "Do whatever you want." To him, Joanna was just a younger student an

Liliana frowned, finding Joanna's words somewhat odd.In truth, she and Joanna were not close, nor did they have much interaction. The fact that Joanna had come to visit her was already strange enough.Now that she was bringing up that incident, Liliana could not quite figure out Joanna's intentions, but something about it felt off."Thank you for your concern, Joanna," Liliana said lightly. "Tania, bring a chair for Joanna.""No need to trouble yourselves," Joanna replied with a soft smile. "I'll just stand for a while. I've already been sitting with Sean for quite some time."As she spoke, her eyes never left Liliana.Liliana was momentarily stunned before clenching her fists slightly. However, she maintained a composed expression, revealing nothing of her thoughts."You and Sean seem to have a great relationship," Liliana said with a faint smile. "It looks like you're not here to see me but rather to talk to Sean."Her tone carried a teasing lilt, smooth and pleasant to the

"I heard you were injured. I was busy the past few days and couldn't come earlier." Charles offered a brief explanation.His gaze settled on Liliana, assessing her condition. She seemed to be doing relatively well. "Looks like you're fine now.""Yes, I'm fine. It wasn't a serious injury to begin with." Liliana fidgeted with her fingers, feeling slightly uneasy. "Um… It's already so late. Is there something else you need, Charles?"Charles watched her silently, his sharp eyes fixed on her. He did not speak for a long time, merely observing her.Liliana felt restless under his scrutiny, shifting uncomfortably."Injuries to muscles and bones take a while to heal. You should focus on resting for now and avoid any strenuous activities.""But…" Liliana hesitated. She wanted to tell him she was already fine and planned to be discharged in a few days to return to work.She had just started her internship, and this accident happened after only a few days on the job."Don't worry about w

Liliana stayed in the hospital for about half a month. Even though she felt like she had almost fully recovered, the hospital staff insisted she still needed rest and further observation.At first, she did not think much of it, but when even Tania started finding it odd, Liliana began to feel that something was off.She asked her attending doctor and the nurses about her condition, but they firmly insisted she had not completely healed and needed more time to recuperate. No matter how much Liliana reassured them that she was fine, they refused to discharge her.Eventually, when they realized they could not convince her to stay any longer, they told her to speak with Sean as he was the one who had given the orders regarding her hospitalization.Liliana initially did not want to go to Sean, but staying in the hospital indefinitely was not an option either. Besides, she was still in the middle of her internship, and being absent from the company for too long was becoming unreasonable.
