No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1068

Serena clicked on the photo. It was a screenshot of Vanessa's social media post from one of her friends. In one of the pictures, Xavier's profile was clearly visible.

Serena's breath caught in her throat for a few seconds. She quickly stepped out, clutching her phone, and carefully examined Vanessa's post. It had been published late last night, around eleven. Though she didn't know what had happened, it was clear Xavier had taken her to the hospital and then driven her home.

Although Serena was no longer pursuing Xavier, he had always been an unattainable ideal to her, a kind of first love.

These pictures still stung her deeply.

She felt like Vanessa had posted them deliberately to show her, but she desperately wanted to know what had happened. Yet, she didn't dare ask Xavier.

Just then, Serena saw Eleanor appear in the hallway. Thinking of her relationship with Xavier, she walked over to her.

"Ellie, good morning. Can I ask you something?" Serena asked, looking anxious.

"What is it?" Eleanor looked at her.

Serena showed her the photos from Vanessa's social media post and pleaded, "Ellie, could you please ask Xavier what's going on? It's really important to me."

Eleanor frowned, also quite surprised by the photos.

"Ellie, please, I'm begging you. Just send Xavier a message and ask him what happened. I really need to know," Serena clasped her hands together, as if she wouldn't be able to rest until she got an answer.

"I—I don't think it's my place to ask," Eleanor said, shaking her head. How could she pry into Xavier's private life?

"Dr. Sutton, the director is waiting for you in his office," a nurse hurried over to inform her.

Eleanor said to Serena, "I have to go to a meeting."

Serena bit her lip, left with no other choice. "Fine, I'll ask him myself," she said, picking up her phone.

Serena sat down on a nearby chair and sent a screenshot of Vanessa's post to Xavier. "Xavier, can I ask what this is about?"

In the conference room, after Eleanor finished her meeting, she found Serena waiting for her in the hallway.

"Ellie, I asked Xavier. He said he accidentally hit Vanessa with his car at a restaurant last night and just took her to the hospital for a check-up. It was nothing," Serena explained.

Eleanor nodded slightly after hearing the explanation.

"Ellie, now you see how Vanessa twists the truth and creates drama, right? If I hadn't asked Xavier for the truth, we all would have misunderstood." Serena thought angrily, realizing that the intimate photos Vanessa used to post with her brother were probably fabricated in the same way.

Back in her office, Eleanor's phone buzzed. She picked it up and saw a message from Xavier. "Did Serena explain things to you? I don't want you to get the wrong idea."

Eleanor sighed softly. "Yes, she told me." Then she took the initiative to ask, "Any progress with Vivian's custody case?"

"The hearing is next week in Drexford. I'll do everything I can to win," Xavier replied.
