All Chapters of Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Outside the VIP ward at Robehod Hospital.Two maids who had been sent to deliver food stood stiffly against the corridor wall, hands folded in front of them, faces tight with unease.When they saw Liam approaching, they lowered their heads even further.Liam didn't slow down. He pushed the ward door open directly.Just as he lifted the paper bag in his hand, Cecilia, who was lying on the bed, suddenly raised her arm to cover her mouth and nose, shrinking back instinctively."What is that smell...take it away!" Her voice was muffled behind her hand, thick with discomfort, and her face went noticeably paler.Liam stopped short. Slightly surprised, he opened the bag and held it up."It's the bread rolls from the place you're always talking about. Fresh out of the oven."Cecilia flicked a glance at it, then immediately turned her face away, brows tightly drawn. "It smells strange...Are you sure it's still fresh?""How could it not be?" Liam laughed softly, picked up one of the rolls, and

When they returned to the ward, Robin had already finished eating.He was lounging comfortably on the sofa, long legs crossed and propped casually against the edge of the coffee table.Seeing them come in, he raised his brows and teased, "You know, have the two of you ever considered being apart for more than a few minutes? You're glued together all day long--it's getting nauseating even to look at."Liam didn't bother responding. He walked straight to the bed, adjusted Cecilia's pillow, pulled the blanket up to her shoulders, and spoke softly."Get some sleep. Later, I'll cook you some light porridge myself.""Okay," Cecilia replied quietly. She turned onto her side to face the window, deliberately cutting off her line of sight toward Robin.Robin snorted through his nose and swung his foot lazily. "Look at you, waiting on someone hand and foot. You're really dragging the reputation of men down with you."Only then did Liam turn around, as if suddenly remembering something. In a casu

Outside the hospital room, four bodyguards in black suits and dark sunglasses stood on either side of the door, motionless, like silent statues.From inside, Hugh's hearty laughter could be faintly heard.The bodyguards exchanged brief glances, hesitation flickering in their eyes.As Hugh's entourage, should they step in to ask if he needed anything?But knowing Hugh's deep dislike of interruptions, they ultimately decided to hold their positions and remain outside.Just then, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.Lynn strode over. The moment he saw the scene at the door, his brow furrowed. He sized up the four burly, expressionless men in black."Who are you? What are you doing here?"The four men stared straight ahead, offering no response.Lynn raised his voice. "I'm Mr. Liam's assistant. I need to go in now. Step aside, please."The bodyguards didn't budge. One of them finally spoke, his tone flat and mechanical."Our boss is in a private meeting. No one is allowed to enter

The bitter smile on Todd's face deepened. He nodded, his voice so low it was almost inaudible."You're right. That far away...even if they could bring me back, it probably wouldn't be..."He reached into his cigarette pack again.Liam snatched the cigarette from his fingers and stuck it between his own teeth, staring at him, his voice hoarse. "If you dare not come back alive, then don't show up in my dreams either.""How could that work?" Todd looked at the cigarette between Liam's lips and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "If I can't see you in real life, you're saying I'm not even allowed to see you in my dreams?"Liam lifted his gaze. Their eyes met.Suddenly, Todd stepped forward and pulled Liam into a tight embrace, his arms locking firmly around him. His voice was muffled against Liam's shoulder."I waited for you for twenty years...Liam. You know that, right?""I know." Liam raised his hand and patted Todd's back twice, hard. His voice was calm and low. "Back when you first l

The northern slums of the city.The stench of rot hung heavy in the air, thick enough to choke even in broad daylight.Rats darted along the edges of stagnant puddles, grotesquely large.A few scrawny children crouched beside heaps of trash, rummaging for anything barely fit to eat.It was a place the city had forgotten.Years ago, there had been talk of redevelopment, but nothing ever came of it.Rumors said the area had become a dumping ground for those who were "untouchable by the law." Over time, it turned into an isolated island no one dared approach.Even more chilling was the geography--murky water encircled the entire district, with only a single narrow bridge connecting it to the outside world.Here, the saying "you go in, but you don't come out" wasn't metaphorical.In the shadow of a wall, Gia curled in on herself.She had been there for a full day and night. Time had lost all meaning, replaced by endless cold and fear.Whenever her consciousness drifted, she clung to the s
