Semua Bab Betrayed by My Husband, One-Night Stand with CEO’s Uncle: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The front door opened slowly. Liora stepped inside with a tired body and a mind still filled with the events at the café.“Hopefully Mother is in her room. That way, I can go straight to mine,” Liora hoped inwardly.The atmosphere of the house greeted her—silent, cold, and pressing, just like always.Before she could even step onto the stairs, Martina’s voice was heard first from the living room.“Just got home?” Her tone was cold. “A married woman wandering around, coming home late again. This house is not a hotel!” Martina sneered, her sharp gaze fixed on Liora.Liora’s steps stopped instantly. She lowered her head politely after turning back.“I went out for a bit, Ma’am. I met Nadine,” Liora said honestly.Martina clicked her tongue. “An excuse. A wife should be at home, not wandering around. Know your responsibilities. Not busy looking for entertainment outside with your useless friends,” Martina snapped angrily once more.Hearing those words, Liora clenched her fingers beneath h

Crystal chandeliers hung beautifully in the ballroom of the five-star hotel. Warm light reflected off the marble floor, creating an elegant atmosphere Liora had rarely experienced throughout her three years of marriage."It feels like a dream, our wedding anniversary is finally being celebrated by Daren," she monologued, gazing around the room. "Truly, I am so happy. At last, Daren can be gentle and romantic like this."A beautiful cream-colored gown wrapped elegantly around her body. Her hair was neatly styled in an updo, revealing her slender neck, her face adorned with light makeup. Not excessive—but enough to make her look beautiful."Daren … I should go to him. He will surely be happy to see me wearing this dress," Liora murmured, because before leaving, she had worn the gown chosen by her husband.Not long after, Liora surprised Daren. "Honey …," she greeted him softly."Hey, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you. I was worried.""Sorry, I changed my dress earlier. The

Crash!“Ahhh!”Liora’s body lay sprawled on the cold asphalt after being hit. Meanwhile, the reckless driver showed no responsibility at all and fled the scene, leaving her with severe injuries.Thud!“LIORA .…!”From a distance, Ethan witnessed it with a shocked expression. He froze for a moment as Liora’s body was thrown into the air and slammed onto the road.The cream-colored gown that had clung elegantly to her body was now stained a deep red. Blood kept seeping endlessly from her forehead and body.Her breathing was rapid, accompanied by faint groans from her lips. Ethan snapped out of his shock and rushed toward Liora.“LIORA!”Ethan knelt beside her, his hands trembling violently as he touched her cheek.“Liora … hey, you can hear me, right? Don’t sleep. Please … open your eyes,” his voice broke, barely forming coherent words.There was no response.Only the sound of screeching vehicles coming to an abrupt halt, people shouting, and Ethan’s heartbeat pounding so loudly it felt

“Ethan, your clothes are dirty. They’re covered in blood, just go home,” Martina said as she patted Ethan’s shoulder. “Go with Stevani. Poor Kenzi will be looking for you later. Besides, her husband is already here.”Ethan turned his head toward his mother.“No … I’m staying here. If Stevani wants to go home, then go ahead,” Ethan said briefly, his gaze shifting to his wife who was standing beside his mother.“Mother is right, Honey. Your clothes are dirty. Come on. You can rest too. You must be in shock, seeing Liora’s accident directly,” Stevani said as she stepped closer, almost touching Ethan’s arm.However, Ethan stepped back. “I’m staying here until the doctor says she’s fine,” Ethan said firmly, his gaze turning cold.Daren, who was standing not far from his brother, supported his mother’s and sister-in-law’s words.“Brother, just go home. I’ll take care of Liora. You must be exhausted,” Daren said. “Your clothes are really dirty. Don’t you realize that?”“Tch! Do you think jus

Night fell once again at the hospital.The lights along the ICU corridor glowed dimly, leaving a stillness broken only by the footsteps of nurses and the low hum of medical machines behind the glass. Ethan stood there—again.His suit hung neatly on his body, his hair slightly disheveled, his eyes red from lack of sleep. For two nights, he had barely gone home. Even when he did, it was only to shower, change clothes, and return.Ethan stepped closer to the ICU glass.Inside, Liora still lay motionless. Her face was pale, her head wrapped in bandages, the oxygen tube rising and falling with her weak breaths.Ethan entered after receiving brief permission from the nurse on duty.He sat beside the bed, hesitated for a moment… then finally took Liora’s small, cold hand in his.“Two days,” he murmured softly. “It’s been two days like this.”There was no answer.Ethan lowered his head, his forehead almost touching the back of Liora’s hand.“I’m here,” he said quietly. “This time … I’m not le
