Wife You Discarded is a Billionaire's Crush novel Chapter 188

Liliana went to get her car from the street. As the Maybach pulled into traffic, her eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably.

She couldn't imagine what kind of difficult demands Sylvia would make today.

Her body was already having an unusual reaction, as if anticipating the worst.

The meeting location Sylvia had chosen was a challenge in itself.

It was a club in the East End, at least an hour and a half drive from Cyan.

Just as she parked at the club's entrance, her phone rang.

It was the caregiver.

She answered the phone with one hand while holding the car door open with the other.

"Miss Preston, something's happened! You need to get to the hospital right away!"

Liliana's eyelid twitched even more violently. "What's wrong?"

Without hesitation, she got back into the car, shut the door, and restarted the engine.

"Some crazy woman showed up out of nowhere, screaming that your brother had to pay for her daughter's life. He got agitated, and… he just tried to kill himself!"

As the caregiver's words hit her, the phone slipped from Liliana's grasp and fell into the gap between the seats.

But she could still hear the caregiver's voice. "The doctors are working on him now. How soon can you get here?"

"I…" Liliana's throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, making it hard to speak. "Contact my parents first! I'm on my way now!"

It would take her at least an hour to get to the hospital from here.

Ignoring the phone wedged under her seat, she floored the gas pedal.

The car was silent, but her ears were ringing, and her hands and feet moved mechanically, controlling the vehicle.

From under the seat, her phone rang over and over, but she seemed not to hear it.

After what felt like an eternity, the ringing stopped, and the only sound was the roar of the engine as she sped down the road.

An hour later, outside the operating room.
