All Chapters of Trading My Cheating Husband for a Billionaire Tycoon: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The corridor outside the private room was much brighter than the dim interior.Henry carried Jennie in his arms, a suffocating pressure radiating from him.Instinctively, Jennie looped her arms around his neck to steady herself.“Nick, get the car,” he said, his voice low and sharp.That was when Jennie snapped back to her senses. She lowered her gaze and saw a large, shocking smear of blood across his shirt.“I’m fine,” she said quickly, her voice still trembling as she struggled slightly. “That’s not my blood.”When she fell, she had been pinned underneath. A fruit knife had been lying beside her, dropped by someone in the chaos. The blood on it belonged to Cindy.Henry stopped short.They were suddenly very close. Close enough for Jennie to catch the clean, crisp scent of cedarwood on him, mixed faintly with tobacco, filling her lungs without warning.His heartbeat was strong and steady beneath the thin fabric of his shirt.It was a sharp contrast to his expression, which

The fury in William’s eyes stalled for a split second when it met hers.Something tightened in his chest. A flicker of unease crept in before he could stop it.Audrey finally snapped out of it, rushing forward with a shrill cry. “William, have you lost your mind? How could you hit her?”She turned to Jennie, looking conflicted, almost pleading. “Jennie, you too. William was only worried about Cindy. He panicked because he cares. Can’t you try to understand him? Why make such a big deal out of something so small?”Patrick kept his voice low and stern. “Enough. This is a hospital. Don’t air family scandals in public.”Every word was protection. Just not for her.Jennie pressed her tongue against the cut at the corner of her mouth. The metallic taste of blood spread, and she actually laughed.“William, are you even a man?” Travis finally snapped, unable to stay silent. He grabbed Jennie’s arm. “I’m taking you to get that treated.”William’s gaze locked onto Travis’s hand, his ange

Jennie put her phone away and stood up.She needed to go back to Dream Lake Villas first and grab the essentials. Their marriage certificate. Her identity card. Anything she would need.She wanted this over with quickly. Clean cut. No dragging it out.She just wanted to end this nauseating marriage as soon as possible.That afternoon, she was supposed to go with her father to visit her mother.When Jennie returned to Dream Lake Villas, William was slumped on the couch.Dark stubble shadowed his jaw. Heavy circles sat beneath his eyes. His whole body radiated exhaustion and defeat.He clearly hadn’t slept all night.At the sound of the door opening, he stiffened and slowly lifted his head. Bloodshot eyes locked onto Jennie.His cracked lips moved. His voice was hoarse.“When did you find out?”He didn’t say what he meant.But they both knew.Jennie didn’t pause while changing her shoes. Her tone was flat.“Why don’t you ask Wendy? She can tell you everything.”William

A dull thud.A tearing pain exploded at the back of Jennie’s head. Something warm soaked into her hair.Her vision went black, the world pitching violently as William’s distorted face fractured into overlapping shadows.She tried to speak. No sound came out.Her strength drained all at once, and she pitched forward.In the instant before she fell, the arms that had just swung the weapon caught her, pulling her against his chest.Then everything went dark.---The body in his arms was frighteningly still.The metallic smell of blood filled his nose. William stared at the dark stains spreading across his suit, and instead of panic, a strange calm settled over him. His racing heart gradually slowed.He let out a long breath.Now she wasn’t going anywhere.He lowered his head, his thumb brushing her cheek with almost tender care.“Don’t blame me, Jennie,” he murmured. “You forced my hand.”---He didn’t rush her to the hospital.He laid her carefully on the sofa, then went i

Jennie lowered her gaze to her legs, numb and unresponsive, and felt a wave of disbelief wash over her.Just moments ago, she had been talking about divorce, ready to walk into a new life.And now, in the blink of an eye, she could not even stand on her own.How did this happen?It felt worse than death.As her thoughts spiraled, William suddenly dropped to one knee beside the bed.He took her cold hand, pressed his cheek against the back of it, his voice low and earnest.“Jennie, don’t be afraid. The doctor said this could be temporary.”He looked up at her, eyes filled with what looked like devotion.“And even if it isn’t… even if you never fully recover, it doesn’t matter. I’ll stay with you. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life.”He looked heartbreakingly sincere, as though he would tear out his own heart and hand it to her if he could.Jennie quietly pulled her hand out of his grasp.The expression on William’s face froze for a split second.She forced herself t
