Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 353

Summer stuck out her tongue, trying to wipe away her tears and snot with a tissue, but she couldn't shake the nervous energy buzzing inside her.

“Do you think they believed us?” she whispered.

Today’s whole dramatic scene was just to fool Wilson. Wiona had been watching him the whole time, and she could tell he was no simple guy. He’d put on a sad face, even looked tense when Dr. Rodman talked about doing an autopsy, but the moment Summer insisted she wouldn’t pull the plug and would move her dad to a care facility, Wilson had actually looked relieved. That was the only time he slipped, just for a second. Then he hurried off with Bronwen, practically skipping down the hallway. He was definitely happy with how things turned out.

Wiona nodded. “Yeah, I think they bought it.”

“He should relax for now. As long as your dad wakes up safely, we’ll finally know the truth.”

She paused, hesitating.

Summer’s head was pounding from all the crying and she struggled to keep up. “But what?”

Wiona glanced at her, thoughtful. “I think Bronwen knows something.”

“Wilson is hard to read, but Bronwen, I can tell. Her face kept changing. She looked more guilty and hurt than just sad.”

Summer frowned. “You think she knows how my dad really fell?”

“I’m almost sure of it,” Wiona said. “But we don’t need to rush. We’re this far already, so let’s stick to the plan. We’ll catch whoever’s behind this, I promise.”

Summer nodded, feeling a little steadier. “By the way, how’s my dad, really?”

Wiona gave her a reassuring wink. “Don’t worry. He was just knocked out from the anesthesia.”

“He’s awake now. But we can’t keep him in the hospital too long. We should move him to the care home as soon as possible.”

“I’ve already set it up, just head straight there when you’re ready.”

The care facility was the one Conrad had bought—somewhere Wiona trusted completely, a place where Cassian would be safe.

Summer didn’t know what to say. She just threw her arms around Wiona, hugging her tight.

“Wiona, you’re basically my dad’s other daughter now! When he wakes up, you have to be there.”

Wiona smiled. “I just hope he’s not mad at me anymore.”

“Alright, let’s keep up the act. We need to stay in character while we’re still at the hospital. Come on.”

They linked arms and quickly left, moving down the hall together. Nikolai and Drake watched them go, jaws practically on the floor. Only now did they realize Ms. Morgan had just set a massive trap for someone. Following her around was turning out to be way more interesting than they’d expected.

And right as they stepped out of the elevator, Jace’s hospital bed was wheeled out of another elevator across the hall.
