Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle의 모든 챕터: 챕터 161 - 챕터 170

The fourth day in the hospital after the blast seemed just as bleak as the first three days that had come and gone, waiting for Bethany to wake up and open her eyes to absolutely no avail.Arthur hasn’t left her side. Not once, making sure to make sure that she is attended to every single time and cleaning her unconscious body every morning and night.The nurses have stopped trying to convince him to take a break and go home or something. At this point, he’s more permanent than the IV drip standing by her bedside. Martha comes and goes, bringing fresh clothes, home cooked meals that Arthur barely touches, whispered encouragements he barely hears but nods smilingly at anyway, the old woman already has too much on her neck so Arthur always manages to persuade her to go back home as well each time.He sits beside her now, as he has for four days, one hand curled over Bethany’s motionless fingers, holding them as though he is using his body’s warmth to remind her of the way back to him, b

It takes about an hour.One long, slow, silent hour between the couple.Bethany stubbornly keeps her back turned toward Arthur, stewing in her own complicated swirl of already fake anger and her pride not wanting to speak first.Bethany tries.God, she tries to stay mad at him but...For a full hour, she gives Arthur the full on, patented silent treatment, staring stubbornly at the wall on the other side of thr bed, answering in one word grunts if he so much as breathes too loudly so he’ll catch himself from disturbing her ‘sleep’.But she’s very terrible at it.She’s always been terrible at it when it came to people she loved.She cracks before the sixty minute mark, because when she finally turns her head, awkwardly and carefully because of the neck brace, she sees him sitting at the very edge of her hospital bed.Not looking at her.Not doing anything visible to her.Just… sitting there by the bedside.Palms flat on the mattress. Head bowed.Like he’s waiting to be sentenced. He do

The Campbell Conglomerate headquarters is as full as it always is during the days of the week, and the staff are pretty loyal even when their boss has not been in to work for quite some time. The rumor has start to spread that she died or something most especially due to the fact that they had seen as she had been flung into the air two weeks before, had watched as her husband, with bruises of his own, had lifted her off the ground into the ambulance by himself and still making sure that everything, about her, was all in control…For the time she had been at the hospital, Arthur had made sure that Jade was always within reach and every of their works in progress, not out of reach, it had all been in control even when he had been devastated at the foot of her bed.And for it being so early in the morning, it is not silent, it is quite the opposite actually.There’s movement everywhere, in the halls and corners. Phones ringing and staff picking up. Meetings booked not minding that the b

Good morning, afternoon and evening to you all respectively. Samantha here. So, you might have been wondering why I have been off the grid for the past few days? It's pretty simple. I sprained my neck. Funny as heck right? When it happened, it was not funny one bit but now I can laugh a bit about it. I slept and woke up, and the neck is off to one side and hurts really bad if I try to move it, couldn't sit in a spot because it would start cramping for absolutely no reason. Anyway, I had it in a cast for a couple of days and now it's much better, at least I can move side to side now and I hope I'll be able to sit and write. So, expect a chapter from me today. A pretty long one. We, really, are coming to the end of this book, and as the others, I will miss the characters we have come to love, hate, despise and redeem. So, while on this topic, I have started some work on my next project. Two, actually. One of them will be short spinoffs from my other books, possibly including t

Arthur Worth Has Had Enough.It’s the way Quinn says it that shatters everything.Not the words.Not even the implication.Just the quiet confirmation of the suspicions that should have crossed his mind had he stopped to think for a minute these past fifteen minutes that he has looked everywhere for Btehany but did not find her.“Charles.”Arthur blinks. “What?” The name tastes like ash in his mouth.Charles Worth. He’s behind Bethany’s disappearance.The words shouldn’t be so still. So solid.They shouldn’t make everything else in the world feel fake.But they suddenly do.How could a man take out of here, a whole woman without anyone seeing them? Without anyone stopping to inquire abotut the situation unless they are all in on the game?Across the large ballroom, the clinking of glasses continues. People laugh, toast, sip, glance at him and pretend they did not just do so. A waiter walks past with a tray of oysters. The music swells. Nothing has changed. All except Arthur who yanks
