Semua Bab Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Bab 491 - Bab 500

Morning broke quietly.A thin strip of sunrise slipped through the window and spread across the floor.Liam's eyes were bloodshot. He rubbed at the soreness, then pounded his stiff legs lightly, trying to shake off the numbness.It was time to leave.But before he could even take a step, the figure lying on the bed--who had been sleeping so soundly--slowly opened her eyes in the stillness of the room.She looked soft and vulnerable when she first woke up, confusion lingering in her gaze, a faint, almost childlike innocence still clinging to her features.Every time she woke, she did the same thing--like a newborn discovering the world for the first time. Her eyes wandered around the room, curious and unfocused, until they finally found what they were searching for.The moment her gaze locked onto him, Liam froze.He stayed where he was, leaning against the window, and when she finally saw him clearly, he offered her a gentle smile.Cecilia's first sensation wasn't confusion about wher

Outside the hospital room, two figures spoke in deliberately lowered voices."Are you really going through with this?" one of them asked."Our cover identities won't last much longer," the other replied. "The longer we stay, the higher the risk.""And have you thought about the consequences?""Staying here is the consequence."The first man's tone sharpened."If the boss finds out you've lost your head over a woman--and that you're competing with the Sinclairs--do you honestly think you'll still be able to take her away?"Lennon didn't answer."Don't say I didn't warn you," the man continued. "I didn't agree to come back to the States for your so-called little sister. I'm here for the operation. Acting on your own will wreck the boss's plan.""What's he going to do to me?" Lennon scoffed. "Worst case--another round of punishment.""...You've lost your mind.""This may be my only chance to return to the U.S.," Lennon said quietly, his voice steady. "I can't afford to miss it."Silence

The hospital room was quiet.Liam tucked the blanket around her carefully."I'll go bring Noah and Nora over.""Okay." Cecilia lay on her side, watching his back disappear through the door.But less than thirty seconds later, the tightly shut door opened again.She said instinctively, "That was fast--"The person who entered didn't answer. A wheelchair was pushed silently to the side of her bed."I'm taking you out of here."Cecilia frowned, confused. "Lennon? What are you talking about?"He pulled back the blanket and lifted her straight into the wheelchair."Come with me. You'll understand soon enough."She grabbed his arm, stopping him. "Where exactly are you taking me?""Away from here.""Why?" She clutched the armrests, locking the wheels against the carpet. Her voice tightened. "What's going on with you?""I came back to this country to take you with me," Lennon said urgently. "I know you married Liam, but he can't protect you. I can. I'll keep you safe.""No. I'm not going anyw

At the Sinclair estate, the staff delivered the after-dinner dessert as usual, then withdrew silently, closing the door behind them.Cecilia sat in a chair, gently rocking the crib where the twins slept soundly. Without looking up, she pointed to the chair across from her."Sit."Liam sat upright, spine straight, his expression solemn."I really was just passing by.""Don't pretend I didn't see you hiding in the corner, spying," Cecilia said, shooting him a sideways glance. "You don't trust him--fine. But do you not trust me either?""I absolutely don't trust him," Liam said, standing up and pacing the room, jaw tight. "What I didn't expect was for the Sinclair security system to be so easily breached. He actually managed to get his name added to our access list.""You're overthinking it." Cecilia continued rocking the crib, her tone calm. "He's genuinely gentle by nature. You just don't know him. If you spent time getting to know him, you'd realize he's a good person.""I've never be

That night--"Ah... ha... ha..."On the bed, the woman jolted upright in panic. Moonlight spilled across the windowsill, illuminating her face, drenched in sweat.At the sound, Liam instinctively opened his eyes.Cecilia pressed a hand to her stomach. The pain from moments ago hadn't been a dream--it felt terrifyingly real.She gasped for air, still trapped halfway between nightmare and reality.Liam switched on the bedside lamp and immediately noticed her soaked hair and pale face. Alarmed, he asked,"Hey--what happened? Did you have a nightmare?"Cecilia stiffly turned her neck. A tear slid down the corner of her eye. In her dream, the news of his death had felt unbearably real. Before she could stop herself, she threw her arms around the man in front of her--warm, solid, alive.Liam was startled by her sudden movement, then quickly wrapped his arms around her."It's okay. I'm here."She clung to him with all her strength, terrified that if she let go--or opened her eyes again--she'
