《My Ex And His Daddy's Obsession》全部章節：第 71 章 - 第 80 章

The usually silent atmosphere of Ethan’s apartment was now filled with the constant sound of the heart monitor machine beside his bed. The clear fluid from the IV bag continued to drip steadily, delivering nutrients and medication into the bloodstream of the man who was now asleep. Ethan looked so fragile beneath his silk blanket; the face that usually radiated dominance and arrogance now appeared pale and peaceful.The beep of the apartment’s door code broke the silence. Audrey stepped inside carefully, carrying a plastic bag filled with medicine and a leather bag containing office documents. The sound of her footsteps in her flat shoes was barely audible as she approached the master bedroom area.Audrey stopped right beside the bed. She gazed at the man who had been her boss for the past year. In sleep, Ethan lost the sharp gaze that often made others tremble. His lips were slightly parted, and his breathing was soft and even. Audrey felt her heart pound; there was admiration as wel

The cold air from the hospital room's air conditioner felt piercing to the bone as Aurora blinked her eyes open. The digital clock on the table showed five in the morning. The dim dawn light began to creep in, giving a pale bluish hue to the room. The first thing she saw as she sat up from the sofa was Richard. The man was still awake, leaning against a pillow with eyes that looked tired yet remained sharp, staring toward the window as if thinking about a grand war strategy. "Are you awake, Rory?" Richard's voice sounded deep, filling the morning silence with such a gentle tone. Aurora only nodded stiffly, her heart suddenly thumping fast as her hand groped for the phone beside her pillow. The screen lit up, displaying a cascade of notifications from the one name that had now become both a dread and an addiction to her: Ethan. With a cautious movement, Aurora opened the messages. Her body instantly felt as if it had been doused in hot water the moment she pressed the play button

The atmosphere of the apartment, which was previously quiet, was suddenly disturbed by the chiming sound of the private elevator stopping on the top floor. Audrey stepped out neatly, wearing a navy blue blazer suit and carrying a leather folder containing the quarterly report she had promised. She glanced at her smartwatch; it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning. As promised, she returned to ensure her boss did not die of loneliness in the midst of this luxury.However, as soon as the front door opened soundlessly, the silence inside the room felt different—it felt heavier and carried a foreign scent. Audrey walked toward the master bedroom with steps deliberately slowed so as not to startle Ethan."Boss? I've brought the files—"Audrey’s sentence cut off in mid-air. Her eyes widened, and the folder in her hand almost dropped. The sight on top of the bed was like a hard slap to her sanity. Ethan was fast asleep in a supine position, without a single thread covering the lower half o

The two o’clock afternoon sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains of the apartment, casting light upon the dust particles dancing in the air. The fresh scent of sandalwood soap lingered on Aurora’s body after her shower. She sat motionless in front of the vanity table while Ethan stood behind her, holding a softly humming hair dryer. Ethan’s long, sturdy fingers slipped through Aurora’s black hair, massaging her scalp with movements so gentle, a stark contrast to the wildness they had shared just a few hours earlier.Aurora glanced at the phone lying on the table. A text message notification from Richard appeared on the screen.«Richard: Rory, good news. The doctor has allowed me to go home this afternoon at five. I'll head straight to the mansion. See you at home, Darling.»Aurora’s heart sank.“Richard is coming home at five this afternoon,” she murmured softly, almost inaudible beneath the sound of the hair dryer.Ethan switched off the device in his hand, and silence in

The roar of the luxury car's engine as it pulled into the courtyard of the Calloway mansion that afternoon sounded like the beat of war drums in Aurora's ears. She stood in front of the large mirror in her bedroom one last time, making sure the collar of her oversized shirt was high enough to conceal the masterpiece of foundation covering her neck. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out and descended the cold marble staircase.Downstairs, the scene looked both harmonious and ironic. Richard walked in with the support of his black wooden cane, with Hugo attentively following behind him. Nana, already dressed in an emerald silk gown, immediately rushed over to embrace her husband, wearing the most worried expression she could muster."Oh, Richard! Thank goodness you're home," Nana said as she gently stroked Richard's arm.Richard only smiled faintly, his eyes immediately drifting toward the staircase. That was when Aurora appeared. Dressed in dark blue jeans that hugged her legs perfectl
