My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

Chapter 151

“Who?” Chuck asked, taken aback.

Chuck was still focused on his phone when he spoke, not fully registering his own words until after they were spoken. “You’re discussing Madison. After getting the injection, she just left and said that if you finish seeing Sally, then let me tell you.”

“She left?” Leo questioned with doubt.

Leo’s face clouded over with concern. “Her injury hasn’t healed, and you’re just letting her walk away like that?”

Chuck had never seen Leo display such irritation, even with the hypothetical scenario of Sally having a hole in her head. He had never witnessed such a look on Leo’s face.

Chuck regarded Leo with a mix of confusion and concern, saying, “Her legs are a part of her, aren’t they? I can’t exactly chain her down. Plus, you didn’t request to keep her here. And besides, it’s not like she’s incapacitated-she just has a small cut on her ankle. What’s got you so worked up?”

Leo took a deep breath, glanced at his watch, and his tone turned icy. “Exactly when did she leave?”

Chuck checked his watch as well. “Not long ago, mere minutes. Don’t fret, she’s not a child. Besides, you’ve seen her recently, right? How’s Sally doing?”

As he spoke, Chuck’s voice dropped to a hushed tone, laden with concern.

“She’s in the hospital because she attempted suicide? You plan on marrying her just because she attempted suicide and you want to force the issue? And there’s still a chance for you and my desk mate?” Chuck asked.

Chuck knew full well about Sally’s hospitalization downstairs but he didn’t have any authority over the downstairs area and also didn’t know how she ended up being hospitalized.

He had just been browsing the internet for news on Madison’s divorce and had stumbled upon Sally’s social media updates, immediately piqued by curiosity.

“You’re quite the sizable fellow. Why the nosiness?” Leo asked..

Leo was about to exit when he heard this and paused, shooting a sharp look back.

As Leo turned to leave, he threw over Chuck’s shoulder, “It’s not about saving Sally because she attempted suicide. I have intentions of marrying her. And Madison? She’s like a sister to me. Don’t read too much into it.”

The moment the words fell, Leo had vanished from the room.

Rooted in place for a long stretch, Chuck snapped out of his reverie, his attention captured by an alert on his phone, which he grabbed with palpable excitement.

Chuck sent a message, saying, [Brother, believe it or not, the divorce is real. Leo just said he regards Madison as a sister, which means you are free to pursue Madison without any worries!]
