After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Ethan's POVI paced around the hospital's waiting room, walking back and forth over and over again as I waited for Joyce to come out of Rachel's room. My heart couldn't just stop beating loudly as numerous thoughts passed through my mind. " Dude can't you relax? You've been walking up and down for almost an hour". Marina said with a groan and I glared at her. " Relax? Rachel is in the hospital, badly beaten up and you want me to relax? How are you even relaxed? She is your best friend! " Marina nodded admitting it. " Yes she is, that's why I'm so calm. You already promised that I'll be the one to deal with the officer who put her in here, I need to practice being calm now so I can go berserk on her later ". Her tone may sound sweet, but I could read the hidden threat in her words.I glanced at her from her head down to her feet. " You just said you're calm yet your legs have been tapping none stop ". I said gesturing to her feet which she was tapping constantly on the floor. "

Marina's POV"Ahem, I think we should go in now ". I said with a cough adverting my eyes from his. This guy really does know how to make a lady's heart flutter, most especially mine. "Yeah ". He nodded before knocking on the door. " Why are you ..." The rest of the words I wanted to say just went back into my mouth as the door opened, and three heavily built guys came out. " Boss ". They all bowed showing respect to Mark. " Did you touch her? "I blinked at how cold and stern Mark's voice sounded as he conversed, more like ordered the huge me. " No sir. But she did put up a fight while we were bringing her here so she has some bruises". One of them answered still bowing. I just shook my head, refusing to allow myself to think too deeply about what exactly was going on, and went into the room. "Oh, it's you ". A smirk appeared on my face when I saw the woman. It was the same warder who I spoke to two days ago when I came to visit Rachel. Her hands were tied really tight to a r

Rachel's POVThe sun was high up in the sky, and the sound of busting cars mixed with the grinding of some kinds of stuff I couldn't name filled the air.Though it was really nosy, to me it sounded peaceful. I stared out the window, looking down at the city below. Actually, I wasn't staring at it. I wasn't even thinking about the loud noises, that was why I found it so peaceful. I was too preoccupied with thinking of more important things than to actually focus on just watching the city. "Rachel, what are you doing there? " I heard Joyce ask as she walked into the room. My lips pulled up in a small smile before I turned around to face her. "How is my favorite doctor in the world?" She shook her head at me, pursing her lips. " Angry. You know you are not supposed to be walking about right now, you're still very injured. " Joyce complained and I flashed her a grin. "I know, I know, but I've been in bed for three days Joyce... Three whole days!" I repeated, sounding dramatic; it w

Rachel's POVI glared at Joyce immediately. Why was she being cold all of a sudden?"What? You're still injured. I can't have you talking to strangers at this time." She stated nonchalantly and I pursed my lips. "David is not a stranger to me, he is my husband."I had no plans of revealing that to her, but I felt she wouldn't leave until I disclosed he was someone close to me. "Husband?!" Her eyes widened as she exclaimed. "I'll tell you about it later, now leave." I shooed, and Joyce stood up from the bed and walked towards the door, but not before easing at David who kept gawking at her back. I noticed his sudden interest in Joyce but I refused to say anything, smiling back up at him. "I'm sorry for what I said; I only said it to make her leave." I apologized as soon as Joyce was gone. David snapped his head towards me before shaking it. "That is exactly what I'm here to talk about."My brows knitted together and my smile turned to a confused one. "It's not like I lied. We are

Ethan's POV... About half an hour ago. ... I walked into the hospital with the small bag of food I had bought for Rachel. I paused when I got to her door and contemplated. She had been in the hospital for a few days now but I was yet to see her. It was killing me to know that not only that she didn't trust me she also hated and didn't want to see me right now.After much hesitance, I turned away from the door with the food in my hand. I was just going to call Joyce later and give her the food to give Rachel. I was just thinking that when I said the same, Joyce walked out of the doctor's office. "Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't too supposed to be with Rachel at all times?" I asked her, confused about why she was out. I stretched my hand holding the food to her and she collected it with a sigh. " I was, I am. But Rachel has a visitor and wants to talk in ' private.' " She used her free hand to quote the private, and my brow went up. A friend? In private?" Is it Marina? "
