Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 638

Chapter 638: Taken into custody.

Ryan kept his phone back and turned to look at Zenith, only to realize that she was no longer sitting there. His brows furrowed, and he stared in the direction of the guest room.

He couldn’t believe that she ran away the moment he looked away.

Was he so scary?

He turned to look at his reflection on the glass wall nearby. Maybe he was; otherwise, why else would she be so nervous and jumpy around him?

His thoughts spirally back to the times when he scolded her. Although she was very professional in her job — wouldn’t give him any reason to complain. But still, recently, he had found every reason to scare her away. She had almost ended up in the hospital.

This wasn’t right.

She was his secretary —his employee. He shouldn’t be treating her like that.

Feeling guilty internally, he walked to the table on the side and opened the cabinet to retrieve a first aid kit. Looking at the box, he thought for a moment before he turned and advanced in the direction of the guest room.

However, when he entered, he found the room empty. His brows knitted in a frown, but soon enough, he heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Understanding that zenith might have gone to get freshened up, he was about to turn and leave when leave when he heard something dropping to the floor with a thud.

His knit between his brows returned, and he immediately turned and walked towards the bathroom, knocking at the door. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Zenith, what’s wrong? Are you fine inside?" he asked, worry lacing in his tone.

No response came, but the silence grew, which made Ryan’s frown only deepen. He knocked again. "Zenith, answer me. Are you okay, there?"

"..."

Still no response. It only made Ryan’s worry heighten. Not knowing what to do, he chose the last retort, but before that, he gave the warning.

"If you are not responding, I would assume you got hurt inside. I had no option but to break inside, Zenith. So, tell me —"

Before he could finish, Zenith spoke from inside. "I—I am fine, sir." Ryan frowned, but patiently waited to listen. "There is no need to come inside. Give me a few minutes, and I will come out."

"Fine!"

Although Ryan said that, he didn’t step away. He stood near the bathroom, just in case she needed his help.

And right as she had said, after a few minutes, he heard the click of the door, and he turned to see it finally open.

His eyes narrowed a little when he saw her finally stepping out. She looked fine on the surface, but when he watched her closely, he saw the subtle frown between her brows and her pale lips.

It was clear that she was in pain.

"What happened inside?" he asked, carefully looking at her, already reaching to hold her by her arm to support her.
