From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Hazel’s POV​I couldn't stay in that resting room any longer. After sleeping for only five hours, I woke up with my heart pounding, my legs felt heavy but laying on a couch staring at the ceiling wasn't doing anything except making my head spin. I stood up snd headed back upstairs, needing to see Kai with my own eyes to make sure he was still breathing.​I pushed open the door to Kai’s VIP suite. The room was quiet, bathed in the deep orange glow of the sunset spilling through the blinds. The steady beep... beep... beep of the heart monitor was a constant comfort.​When I pushed the door open, Reed was standing in his usual spot near the far wall. He looked up, giving me a short nod.​"How is he?" I asked, walking over to the bed.​"Same," Reed replied, his voice low. "Doctor Lorenzo came in twenty minutes ago to check his vitals. Everything is steady."​"Thanks, Reed."​I pulled the chair closer to the edge of the mattress and sat down. Kai was still so quiet. His face was pale, the

Hazel’s POV​If I stayed in that hospital room for one more second staring at the heart monitor, I felt like I was going to lose my mind.​It was mid-morning, around ten o'clock. Kai was still stable, sleeping through his third day of the coma. Zara was sitting by his bed, softly talking to him, and Sophia had stepped back in after getting some rest. Having them there meant I didn't have to feel guilty for leaving the room, but my chest still felt tight. The air in that VIP suite was just too heavy, thick with antiseptic and the quiet panic I had been carrying around since the shooting.​I walked out of the clinic, practically sinking into my oversized coat as the cool morning air hit my face. It was the first breath of real air I'd taken in forty-eight hours, and it actually stung a little.​There was a small, quiet coffee shop two blocks down from the hospital. I ducked inside, the warmth of the shop hitting me along with the rich smell of freshly roasted espresso. It was relatively

​ ​Hazel’s POV ​I lowered my phone, the screen going black, and let out a long breath. ​"Everything okay with Adrian?" Sophia asked, looking up from the sofa where she had been quietly watching me. ​"Damon and Melissa are pushing," I said, leaning my head back against the cool glass window. "They've been coming by the ENH offices demanding meetings. Adrian managed to stall them, but I have to go into the office tomorrow morning to handle it myself." ​Sophia set her empty coffee cup down on the table and stood up, stretching her arms. "Well, speaking of work... I actually have to step out for a few hours today too. My head chef has called me three times in the last hour. Apparently, the inventory delivery at the restaurant got completely messed up, and since I haven't been there in three days, things are starting to go chaotic." "Oh, Sophia, go," I said immediately, feeling a pang of guilt. "You've been stuck in this hospital with me for seventy-two hours straight. Go take car

​Hazel’s POV ​I stood up from behind my desk, smoothing down the front of my cream suit jacket. ​"I'm heading back to the clinic now," I said, grabbing my handbag. "I've handled what I needed to handle here, but my mind is still in that room." ​Adrian looked at me with concern, stepping closer. "Do you want me to come with you, Hazel? I can drive you over to the hospital." ​"No, stay here, Adrian," I said, offering him a firm, reassuring look. "You need to stay back and keep an eye on everything at E&H. With Damon and Melissa leaving here furious, we can't afford any slips. I need to go back, and honestly... I'm pretty sure Kai will be awake by now. He has to be." ​Without waiting another second, I hurried out of my office and took the private elevator straight down to the executive parking garage. ​The moment I slid behind the wheel of my car and started the engine, my mind went into overdrive. My mind kept replaying everything that happened back inside, ​Melissa knows.

Sophia’s POVI practically broke the speed limit driving from the restaurant to the penthouse.Hearing Hazel cry on the phone like that had sent a sharp spike of panic straight to my chest. Hazel wasn’t very solid when it comes to emotions. Even though she was now the girl who stood up to boardrooms full of ruthless executives and didn't blink when multi-million-dollar deals were on the line, but when she spoke about Kai... she sounded so broken, so stripped of every piece of armor she had.I used the access code Hazel gave me, pushed open the heavy front door of the penthouse, and tossed my keys onto the entryway table."Hazel?" I called out softly, stepping deeper into the grand, quiet apartment.No answer.I walked straight down the hallway toward the master bedroom. The door was half-open, casting a warm sliver of light across the hardwood floor. I slipped inside and my heart squeezed.Hazel was curled into a small ball on the edge of the massive king
