All Chapters of Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

Outside the hospital room, Murphy paced back and forth several times before finally pushing the door open.Liam immediately raised a finger to his lips, then rose quietly and gestured toward the hallway."I know what you want to ask. Let's talk outside."In the lounge, Murphy lit a cigarette. The tight crease between his brows eased slightly."The attacker was shot dead on the spot. How did you notice him ahead of time?"Liam poured himself a glass of water and took a couple of sips."Cecilia kept staring at him. If I'd reacted a second faster, maybe it could've been avoided.""I didn't think they'd actually dare to open fire at an event like that.""Do we know who's behind it?" Liam asked.Murphy nodded. "Pearson.""The one who sent his wife and child away as hostages, then ended up getting his own family killed--Chapman Pearson?""Yes. His notorious for being completely ruthless,"Murphy said, flicking ash into the tray."He built his reputation in the military with brutal methods.

In the living room, the open window let the night air pour in unceasingly.Cecilia lay on the floor and slowly opened her eyes.Her unfocused gaze fixed on the crystal chandelier overhead, her mind completely blank."Cecilia..." A low, muffled call came from the bedroom.She snapped back to herself, pushed up from the floor, and steadied herself against the ground. A dull ache lingered in her lower abdomen.After taking a couple of shallow breaths, she grabbed the medicine box and stumbled toward the bedroom.The moment Liam saw her, the tight knot in his chest finally loosened.She hurried over, trying to support him, but her own hands were weak and unsteady."Why did you get out of bed?"Liam took hold of her hand. Though his vision was still blurred, he clearly saw how pale she was, and his heart clenched."Where did you just go?"She shook her head and broke a couple of pills from the blister pack. "I went to get you some water."He didn't let go, his eyes locked on her. "Where di

The sunlight was bright, pouring through the floor-to-ceiling balcony windows and outlining the figure standing in it with a soft golden glow.Cecilia opened her eyes and quietly looked toward the man on the balcony.He turned back just then.His face was hard to make out against the light, but his silhouette stood out clearly in the halo of sunshine.Liam slid the balcony door shut and drew the curtains. "You're awake?"Cecilia felt a little ashamed--he was the one who'd been injured, yet somehow he had ended up taking care of her."Are you hungry?" he asked.He strode out of the bedroom and quickly returned with a bowl of warm pumpkin porridge.Because his left hand was injured, he set the bowl on the bedside table and carefully stirred it with his right hand to let the heat dissipate.Cecilia took his hand and checked the temperature of his palm."Your fever's gone.""Thanks to you getting the medicine last night," Liam said. He lifted his hand and pressed it gently to her forehead

In the emergency stairwell, Vicky leaned against the wall.Even with makeup, the exhaustion in her eyes was impossible to hide.She looked at the man hesitating by the door and spoke first. "You've seen the news."Robin gave a low hum in response but didn't elaborate.Her voice turned hoarse. "You must be enjoying this. The wedding's postponed--perfect timing for you to cancel the engagement."Robin frowned slightly. "If you're in love with him, why agree to marry me in the first place? Was I just a painkiller?""I'm the only daughter in my family," Vicky said, lowering her head. "We've been through too much. My brother has sacrificed so much--what about me? I've done nothing but take. If my marriage can be of some value, why shouldn't I do it?""I didn't realize you were so... noble," Robin said, the sarcasm impossible to miss.Vicky's tone remained flat. "Believe it or not, there's nothing sordid between Daniel and me.""Oh." Robin tugged at the corner of his mouth, clearly unconvin

In the hallway, Liam paced back and forth, his footsteps unnaturally loud in the silence.For the third time, he glanced at the closed door.Time seemed to stretch endlessly.Why hadn't he noticed sooner?Over the past two days, she'd been unusually tired. She'd frowned and pressed a hand to her lower abdomen more than once. And he'd brushed it all off as menstrual discomfort.If something really happened to her--Liam clenched his fist hard, his nails digging into his palm."Stop scaring yourself," Robin said, handing him a cup of coffee. "The initial exam didn't show any bleeding. It was most likely fainting caused by emotional stress. We'll run more tests once she wakes up."Liam took a sip. The bitterness did nothing to calm the turmoil inside him. When he set the cup down, his hand was trembling.Robin noticed and shook his head silently.No matter how composed a person was, once they had something to lose, fear crept in all the same."You're sure she'll be okay?" Liam asked agai
