Chapter 508 Late Night at the Office

Tess stayed quiet, pretending she didn’t hear that last part.

Just then, the light above the operating room door went out.

Tess quickly stood up, her heart racing.

A moment later, the door swung open, and nurses pushed out a hospital bed.

Abel was lying there, his face pale, but there was already a faint color returning to his lips.

“Mr. Shaw’s family?”

The doctor had just taken off his mask when he called out toward the hallway,

“Me! That’s me!”

Tess rushed forward.

The doctor gave her a quick once–over, and his brows furrowed slightly beneath his surgical cap, barely noticeable.

He glanced toward the doorway, where Zane was standing.

Wait–isn’t this Mrs. Lock?

Zane gave him a small nod.

The doctor cleared his throat softly and said to Tess, “The nurse will take you to his room. For the next few days, make sure he follows the meal plan we’ve provided. No spicy or greasy food, got it?”

Tess nodded quickly and followed the nurse down the hall toward the recovery ward.

The doctor, however, didn’t leave right away. He turned and slowly walked over to Zane.

Before he could even ask, Zane raised his hand to stop him.

“Mr. Lock and Ms. Ember are divorced,” he said flatly. “Whatever she does now is her own business. We don’t have the right to interfere.”

The doctor studied Zane’s stiff face for a second, then just sighed. “Mr. Lock didn’t look so good when he came in earlier. Make sure he gets some rest.”

Zane blinked, a bit thrown off, but didn’t reply. He simply thanked the doctor and told him to get some

rest.

Truth was, the doctor wasn’t wrong. Lately, Finn had barely been sleeping. Even when Zane went back to the office late at night to grab some files, the light in the CEO’s office was still on.

Zane had been by Finn’s side for years, through corporate crises and sleepless nights, but he’d never seep g

him like this before–so worn down, so consumed.

Zane sighed quietly.

He’d been bringing in more coffee these past few weeks than he had in years.

He lifted his eyes, staring down at the long, empty hallway, and couldn’t help picturing that lonely figure walking away earlier.

Ms. Ember probably isn’t going to forgive Mr. Lock again. Is all this really worth it?

The thought weighed heavily on his chest, but reminding himself of his position, he turned and headed back to the office.

The moment he stepped onto the top floor, he saw the door to the CEO’s office wide open, the lights still blazing inside.

Finn was leaning over his desk, staring at his laptop screen. Every now and then, he typed something, then stopped, frowning as he took a sip of coffee.

“Mr. Lock.”

Zane’s voice broke the silence.

Finn looked up, rubbing his brow with his thumb and asking, “How is he?”

“Mr. Shaw’s out of surgery and stable. The doctor just said to keep him off spicy food, and he’ll be fine.”

“Alright.”

Finn gave a small nod, acknowledging the update.

Zane hesitated, then said quietly, “Mr. Lock, it’s really late. You should go home and rest.”

Finn looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Did someone say something to you?”

Zane caught the faint hope flickering in those dark eyes.

“It was the doctor,” he said carefully. “He noticed you didn’t look well when you came in earlier.”

At that, Finn’s fingers tightened around his coffee mug. A crooked smile tugged at his lips–a bitter, mocking one.

He knew she wanted nothing to do with him, and yet he still couldn’t help hoping she cared.

How pathetic.

“Got it.”

His voice was low, and he turned his gaze back to the screen.
