Semua Bab Betrayed by My Husband, One-Night Stand with CEO’s Uncle: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Thud!“Hey … watch where you’re going,” an elderly woman snapped angrily when Daren bumped into her.“I’m sorry … I’m in a hurry. I’m really sorry,” Daren replied briefly before rushing off again.Daren ran back down the hospital corridor, which was still quiet. His steps were frantic, his suit wrinkled, his face filled with tension he hadn’t had time to compose. His chest rose and fell as he stopped in front of the treatment room.Click!“Liora …!” The door flew open roughly as Daren immediately called out his wife’s name.Daren’s world seemed to stop spinning when his eyes fell on the weak figure who was now beginning to awaken from her coma.“Li—Liora … darling … you’re finally awake,” Daren said as he stepped closer to the bed.Liora’s eyelids slowly opened. Her gaze was blank for a moment, then shifted, as if searching for a voice she knew so well.“Daren … is that really your voice, darling?” Liora murmured softly as she turned her head to the side.The moment her eyes landed on

The hospital corridor felt narrower than usual.“Shit!”“How could I ever think she remembered me,” he fumed inwardly. “The truth is, she only remembers that damn man!” Ethan raged, recalling his younger brother.The white lights above his head glared harshly into his eyes, while his chest felt tight with something he couldn’t name. His steps were fast, his jaw clenched, as if slowing down for even a second would make all the control he had built up collapse.Behind him, Stevani kept chasing after him.“Ethan, wait!”Her voice echoed through the quiet corridor as she quickened her pace. But Ethan did not stop.“Darling … don’t walk so fast, wait for me,” Stevani coaxed softly.She hurried until she finally caught his arm. The touch made Ethan stop abruptly—not because he wanted to, but purely out of reflex.“What now?” he said coldly without turning around, not even a hint of a smile.Seeing Ethan’s unusual expression, Stevani swallowed hard. His face was bruised, the corner of his li

“It feels … very pleasant today,” Liora said softly, trying to melt the cold atmosphere between them. Her eyes fixed on Daren meaningfully, and her smile grew gentler. “I’m really happy they came to visit me. After my family passed away … I only have two best friends … and you, Daren.”Daren turned his head, his face instantly tense. His shoulders stiffened, his jaw holding back something he wanted to say, but he swallowed those words. He looked at Liora, trying to smile warmly, yet a thin tension clung to his gaze.“I … I’m glad you’re happy, Darling,” Daren finally replied, his voice low but clearly strained. He lowered his head briefly, trying to calm himself so his unease would not show in front of Liora.Liora studied Daren’s face. The warmth in his eyes mixed with tension made her curiosity grow. She leaned forward slightly, her gentle voice cutting through the coldness of the room. “Daren … why does your face look so tense? It’s like you’re hiding something.”Daren flinched lig

Click.The door to the hospital room slowly opened.Hearing that sound, Liora spoke immediately.“Darling, where have you been?” Liora murmured, still focused on the food in front of her. “I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” she added.Without Liora realizing it, the one who entered was not Daren.Not hearing any response while she was still lowering her head and lifting a small spoon to her mouth, she reflexively raised her head.The smile that had been hanging on her face instantly faded when she saw Ethan’s figure— not her husband, Daren.“You?” Liora’s brows furrowed. Her voice was soft, full of confusion. “Ethan … why are you the one coming in? Where is Daren?”Ethan fell silent, his eyes fixed on her beautiful face, which still looked pale.“She’s still beautiful, even though she’s pale,” Ethan smiled inwardly.“Damn it, she doesn’t remember me,” Ethan thought irritably. “If only she remembered me, I feel like I’d want to hug her and kiss her.”Liora looked forward, hoping t

Daren’s footsteps were heard again as he entered the hospital room. The door closed softly behind him, but his expression was far from calm. His gaze went blank for a moment, his breathing still uneven—as if something had just happened outside and he wasn’t ready to process it yet.Liora, who had been leaning against the headboard, immediately turned to look at him. Her brows knit slightly.“What’s wrong with you?” she asked softly, yet clearly. “Why do you suddenly look angry … and scared?”Daren flinched. Only then did he realize he had been too lost in his thoughts. He quickly stepped closer, forcing a smile that felt stiff.“I’m fine,” he answered quickly. Too quickly. “I just … don’t like it when Ethan interferes. This is our moment. I just want to be alone with you.”Liora looked at him closely. Not just seeing, but trying to read him. Something about Daren had changed—she could feel it. The way he stood too close, the way his fingers gripped the edge of the blanket as if he was
