Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 155

Audrey’s POV

Hearing Dr. Everett’s question, I didn’t hesitate to describe the entire car accident that had just happened.

When he heard me say that Blake had protected me during the crash, Dr. Everett raised an eyebrow. He protected you like that? Aren’t you two divorced?”

I offered a bitter smile. “Yes.”

My fingers unconsciously rubbed at my wrist where Blake’s hand had been locked tight. “He’s mistaking me for Miss Rose, That’s why he won’t let go.”

Dr. Everett noticed Blake’s fingers still wrapped around my wrist even as the staff transferred him onto a gurney. He frowned, reached into his medical bag and pulled out a syringe.

Without warning, he jabbed the needle into Blake’s wrist. Immediately, Blake’s fingers went slack, releasing me.

“Thank you,” I said, rubbing my reddened wrist.

“Don’t mention it,” Dr. Everett replied, motioning the staff to move Blake inside.

He studied me for a moment. “Want me to teach you how to make him let go, in case this happens again?”

I shook my head. “There won’t be a next time.”

Dr. Everett paused. “I suppose not.”

The staff carried Blake to the master bedroom. Dr. Everett closed the door behind them to examine him in private.

Not wanting to get in his way, I headed downstairs and began exploring the villa.

Michael was right about this place being hidden, I thought while wandering through the first floor. During our three years together, I never knew Blake had this property.

But wait…

The decor in this villa wasn’t Blake’s style at all.

Warm colors dominated the space, with cotton fabrics and floral patterns everywhere. This didn’t look like a man’s home it felt more like a space designed for a woman.

I used to like this style. Five years ago, when Blake was blind and I couldn’t speak because of my throat, Rachel had been there with us. She’d filled the silence with constant chatter, telling Blake all about me – my tastes, what I “girly” things I enjoyed.

My body froze, blood rushing to my head.

This villa is decorated exactly how Rachel described my preferences five years ago.

Those memories from five years ago – I’d always assumed Blake had forgotten them, which is why I never brought them
