Mr Melendez,Your Wife Wants Divorce Long ago novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Arabella’s parents stepped quietly into the room, their expressions a mixture of concern and urgency.

Jayceon immediately rose to his feet. “Roderick, Kayla, what brings you here?” he asked, his voice steady but cautious.

With others present, Roderick held back any sharp accusations. Instead, he said calmly, “We heard Arabella had been hurt, so we came to check on her.”

Jayceon glanced over at Arabella, guilt flickering in his eyes. “I’m sorry I didn’t take better care of her,” he admitted softly.

Kayla moved closer, standing beside the bed, her eyes carefully examining Arabella’s injuries.

Arabella’s chin quivered uncontrollably. She bit down hard on her lower lip, struggling fiercely to hold back the tears threatening to spill over.

Kayla, who had known Arabella since she was a child, recognized that expression all too well—the look Arabella wore only when truly heartbroken.

Concern filled Kayla’s eyes, and her own tears threatened to fall. “How did this happen?” she asked gently.

Arabella felt completely overwhelmed by misery. Like she had done so many times as a little girl, she stretched out her arms and collapsed into Kayla’s embrace, sobbing, “Mom, I just want to go home.”

The quiet hospital room was filled with the raw sound of Arabella’s desperate, anguished sobs, echoing painfully in everyone’s ears.

Jayceon stood silently nearby, watching as Arabella cried uncontrollably in her mother’s arms. Unable to bear the sight, he quickly turned his gaze away.

Tabitha arrived moments later, having rushed over after Kimberly’s call. She caught sight of the scene unfolding and immediately approached.

“Roderick,” she greeted briefly before gently pushing past Jayceon to stand by Arabella’s bedside. “Arabella, tell me what happened. How did you get hurt?”

Arabella wiped her tears and forced a small smile. “Tabitha, I’m okay. I just had a little fall while shopping and scraped myself a bit,” she said, trying to sound reassuring.

Only then did Tabitha visibly relax.

Arabella swung her legs off the bed and took Kayla’s hand firmly. Looking at her parents, she said quietly but with resolve, “Dad, Mom, I want to go home.”

No matter what, she couldn’t focus on earning that impossible 150 million dollars right now.

But waiting wasn’t an option either.

If she didn’t change her circumstances soon, her life would spiral further out of control, and she wouldn’t be able to work at all.

She needed to break free from her current situation.

Though Arabella’s words were carefully chosen, everyone understood the deeper message beneath them.

This wasn’t just about homesickness.

She wanted to separate from Jayceon. She was ready to divorce.

Tabitha stepped forward, trying to reason with her gently. “Arabella, if the house here isn’t convenient, you can move to Briarwood Estates. It’s much closer to the hospital where you work.”

Arabella shook her head firmly. “Thank you, Tabitha, but I want to go home and live with my parents,” she replied quietly.

Jayceon stared at her blankly, then took a step forward. “It’s fine if you want to stay with your parents for a few days. I’ll come pick you up later,” he said, trying to sound casual.
