All Chapters of My Husband's Affair, My Anniversary Gift : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The afternoon sunlight poured weakly through the hospital ward's window, bathing the room in a soft glow. Olivia had been moved to a private ward after the emergency, and finally, the machines around her had stopped making loud, alarming sounds."Mum… just one more spoon," Lily said gently, holding a bowl of warm porridge in her hand. She carefully lifted the spoon, blowing on it softly before bringing it to Olivia's lips.Olivia frowned slightly. "I'm full, Lily. Enough."But Lily shook her head stubbornly. "No, Mum, please… you need strength. Just this one spoon."Olivia sighed. She could never win when Lily insisted like this. "Alright, alright," she said, opening her mouth reluctantly. She swallowed the spoonful of porridge, and Lily finally set the bowl aside, satisfied."Thank you," Olivia said, a small, tired smile tugging at her lips.Lily smiled back warmly. "You're welcome, Mum."But Olivia wasn't done. "What about you? Have you eaten anything?" she asked, narrowing her eyes

Lily moved to sit on the sofa at the side of the room. Jacob followed and sat next to her, though he kept a polite distance. He took a sip of the coffee, savoring it for a moment, then turned back to her."How is your friend doing now?" Lily asked softly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear."He's doing fine now," Jacob replied with a small sigh of relief. "Luckily, it's nothing serious. Just a few scratches and a minor fracture. He'll recover in no time.""That's good to hear," Lily said with a small smile, genuinely relieved for him.On the bed, Olivia was quietly watching them. Her eyes moved between Lily and Jacob, studying the scene.She noticed how calm their conversation was, how natural it felt. The way Jacob's eyes softened when he looked at Lily, the way his smile lingered just a bit longer whenever she spoke—Olivia didn't miss any of it.When Jacob had first stepped into the room earlier, Olivia had caught that moment of surprise in his expression, the way his face imme

Lily nodded quickly, trying to keep her voice steady. "Yes... I already promised someone else that I would have dinner with them. So, I can't break my word. I'm sorry."She lied. She hadn't promised anyone anything. The truth was she didn't want to go with Jacob. She didn't want to start anything that would go beyond work. She already had enough pain with David; she couldn't afford to create another misunderstanding or tie herself to someone else's feelings. Not right now, at least.Jacob's eyes studied her face carefully. His lips curved slightly, not in a mocking way, but as if he understood something. "Then invite them too," he said calmly. "We can all have dinner together. It's no problem for me."Lily blinked at him, her face tensing. "No… no, I don't want to bother you. It's already kind of you to offer me dinner. I can't drag someone else into it." She shook her head, forcing a small smile, though inside she felt restless.Jacob leaned slightly on the car, his hands in his pock

Lily's eyes widened, her nostrils flaring. "Kiss you back?" she nearly screamed. Her hand shot up, pointing at him. "You forced yourself on me! You pinned me down like—like an animal! Don't you dare twist this!"Her voice echoed through the apartment. For a moment, David's smile vanished. His eyes darkened and his jaw tightened. But instead of apologizing, he scoffed, "I'm not leaving. I'm staying here tonight, do whatever you want."Lily's whole body trembled with rage. She threw her bag on the sofa and marched straight to him, stopping only inches away, glaring up at him though her eyes were glossy with unshed tears."Leave me alone. You… you make me sick, David. You think everything is a game, don't you? Do you ever stop to think about what you're doing to me?"David's sharp gaze lingered on Lily, his lips parting as if he were about to throw another biting remark. But before a word escaped, a low, undeniable sound cut through the tension.Grrr…David froze.Lily blinked, taken aba

Before she could reach the doorway, the world tilted—he was up so fast that she barely had time to react. David moved like someone who always knew the quickest way to get what he wanted. One moment she was walking away; the next, an arm was around her waist and she was lifted off her feet."What are you doing? Put me down!" she snapped, panic rising in her voice. She kicked out instinctively, her hands pawing at his shoulders. Her heart hammered.He didn't let go. Instead, he carried her back to the bed and eased her down, then lay beside her as if it were perfectly natural to claim that space. He wrapped his arms around her, not tight enough to hurt, but not loose either—a hold that said he wasn't letting her go.She pushed his arm away, trying to get up. "Get off me, David. Stop this."He tightened his grip a fraction and kept her under him. "Don't move. Sleep," he said."I don't need you to decide that for me," she said, anger and exhaustion threading her words. Her hands pushed ag
