All Chapters of Dumped Her Ex, Married A Secret Billionaire: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The next morning, Cecilia woke up with an aching, sore body. It felt like her body had been taken apart and hastily pieced back together.Every move she made sent sharp pangs of discomfort through her.She shifted slightly, and a steady, shallow breath filled the quiet air—not her own.Liam was lying next to her, his face serene, breath steady.His chiseled features were softened by the morning light, and his cheek still held a faint flush, whether from his recent illness or the lingering warmth of the night before, she couldn't tell.Without thinking, Cecilia held her breath. Just looking at him made her heartbeat race out of rhythm.She really was hopeless.Just seeing him made her body remember the warmth of his touch, her legs unconsciously tightening in reaction.At that moment, Liam's eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.His sleep-heavy gaze curved slightly, his voice rough with drowsiness, "Good morning, Cici."Caught off guard, Cecilia quickly turned away, leavi

The taxi pulled up slowly to the hospital's main entrance. Eleanor pushed the door open and had just found her footing on the pavement when a familiar figure abruptly crashed into her field of vision.Eleanor froze, almost believing it was a trick of the light—but then the man turned and strode directly toward her."Eleanor?" Nick closed the distance quickly, his tone laced with surprise and something else she couldn't quite place. "What are you doing here?"Eleanor forced a weak smile, stumbling over her words. "I—"Nick's gaze lingered on her face before flicking toward the hospital building behind her. When the words "OB/GYN Department" came into view, a startling suspicion dawned on him."You..." His expression shifted, voice dropping low. "Does he... know?"The spacious forecourt seemed to instantly flood with silent, suffocating awkwardness.Frowning, Eleanor followed his gaze to the sign and suddenly understood his misunderstanding."No," she explained quickly, "I'm here to see

Inside the study, the documents had been open in front of Liam for what felt like an age, yet not a single word had made its way into his brain.His fingertips tapped absently on the desk, his gaze flicking for the umpteenth time to his wristwatch.Finally, the clock hands hit eleven precisely—lunchtime.He walked to the door, adjusted his attire, took a deep breath, and shoved every visible emotion deep down, ensuring his face was a complete blank before pushing it open.In the living room, Cecilia tensed the moment the door opened, turning to look at him.Liam ignored her reaction, his voice icy and devoid of warmth. "Did you look over the recipe I gave you before?"Cecilia, still reeling from his sudden shift, instinctively shook her head mechanically before catching herself and nodding hurriedly.Her lips parted, but she pressed them tight instead, lowering her head in silence."Good. Then you'll handle lunch today," he said, tone clipped and businesslike. "I already ordered the g

Knock. Knock. Knock.A series of sharp, urgent raps on the door jolted Edward from his dark reverie. He leaned back against the pillows, giving an almost imperceptible nod as the visitor entered.Dave wore a mask of professional humility. "Sir, I heard your recovery is progressing smoothly. A true relief.""Dave. have a seat." Edward said, his voice flat and unreadable as he gestured to the chair beside the bed. "We have your timely arrival to thank for that.""I merely did my duty as a physician. The real credit belongs to the treatment team," Dave replied, taking the offered seat.He folded his hands casually on his knees, a stark contrast to the cold sweat gathering on his palms and the frantic drumming in his chest.Edward’s lips twisted into a faint, bitter smirk."Yes. Their 'credit'… was indeed significant."So significant it had shattered his entire life.Sensing the unusual weariness and a disturbing, icy undercurrent in Edward's tone, Dave leaned forward."Are you experienci

The bluntness of the question caught him off guard.His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed."Looks like you haven't woken up yet." he deflected, the words coming out automatically, a default retreat.The answer she'd been hoping for never came. The light in Cecilia's eyes dimmed instantly.Her hand slowly slipped from his cheek, her fingers trailing down the line of his neck with a desperate, trembling finality, moving lower—In the moment he was frozen in shock, she abruptly yanked his shirt open!Buttons flew everywhere, his firm chest and taut abs exposed to the cool air.Liam's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly pulled the fabric together with one hand, his voice edged with anger. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! ""I've lost my mind! " Cecilia shouted, her eyes blazing red like a cornered animal. She jumped off the bed barefoot, grabbing his disheveled collar with a white-knuckled grip."I just wanted to ask you—will you be with me? Not pretending, not some contract, FOR REAL! YOU AND ME! "
