Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 322

The sharp, sterile smell of antiseptic filled the hospital room.

Lying on the bed, Liliana’s long lashes fluttered. With a soft moan, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurry. The first thing she saw was the unfamiliar white ceiling of the hospital.

She paused, confused.

Her mind felt sluggish, her memory like a skipped track. For a moment, she couldn't remember where she was or why she had fainted.

Liliana blinked, her gaze unfocused as she stared at the ceiling.

“Liliana?”

Suddenly, a familiar, hoarse voice reached her ears. It was laced with deep concern and worry, and a hint of something else—an almost imperceptible ache and anxiety.

She instinctively turned her head, and her beautiful eyes were met with the sight of Linton’s handsome, distinguished face.

Liliana froze again.

She hadn't expected to see this man, a man she knew down to her bones, ever again. Her brow furrowed deeply as she struggled to sit up. “You...”

Linton was terrified.

He shot up to support her, his voice a cool, raspy whisper, laced with a panicked, careful urgency. “Liliana, don't be angry. I... I didn’t mean to show up in front of you...”

“I... I heard you fainted. I couldn’t stop worrying. I just wanted to sneak in and see you while you were still asleep. I didn't expect...”

He was at a complete loss. A flicker of panic crossed his handsome, proud face, terrified that the sight of him would make her angry enough to pass out again.

He couldn’t bear that.

Linton lowered his gaze to her pale, sickly complexion, biting his lip so hard it hurt. His fists clenched, his heart twisting with pain.

It felt like it was bleeding.

He wanted Liliana to be happy, which was why he had been trying so hard to restrain himself lately, fighting the instinct and desire to see her, to stay away.

He thought that if he just kept his distance, she could live the life she wanted, happier and more at ease.

But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

His girl hadn't been taking care of herself after leaving him. She had ended up in the hospital.

The realization sent a chill through him. Linton's handsome face paled, his chest tightening as if gripped by a vice. The pain was sharp, like a knife to the heart.

Liliana stared blankly at his weary, exhausted face. Her lashes trembled as she slowly came back to herself.

The memories flooded back, and she suddenly remembered why she had fainted.
