Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 158

In the dim stairwell, an invisible pressure closed in on her from all sides.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, and left with a quiet "I know."

It was the evening rush hour, so the wait for the elevator was longer than usual. By the time she returned, the elevator had just arrived.

The doors opened, and she followed Cedric inside.

Cedric stood behind her, looking down at her.

Her eyes were slightly downcast, and the red, swollen mark on her forehead was partially hidden by her hair, but it still looked awful.

He spoke in a low voice, "Hale…"

"Thank you for your concern. He'll be fine," Liliana said, her voice soft and weak. But it carried an undeniable resilience, filled with resistance.

Two thoughts battled in her mind.

One urged her not to be difficult with Cedric. No matter what he did, no matter how hurt she was, she had to endure it.

For the ten thousand a month.

The other told her to have some dignity. She was Cedric's wife. She had the right to be angry, to demand to know what his intentions were with Sylvia.

Caught between these two thoughts, her tone became unintentionally polite yet stubborn.

Cedric frowned. She certainly knew how to put on airs in front of him!

Why couldn't she fight back when Chuck was about to hit her?

He pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, his gaze growing sharper.

Sensing the temperature in the elevator drop, Liliana finally lifted her eyelids and glanced at the man's reflection on the polished wall.

She didn't quite understand why Cedric had suddenly appeared in Hale's hospital room.

It wasn't until they left the hospital and Cedric got into her car that she realized.

He was just hitching a ride.

At this hour, during the evening rush, the roads were congested.

The complex, glittering city lights reflected into the car, illuminating half of the man's cold, handsome face while leaving the other half in shadow.

The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly quiet.
