Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 396 396: They brought her back

"She's waking up."

A faint voice reverberated through Sherlyn's foggy mind as her eyelids fluttered open. Slowly, the blurred shapes around her began to take form. She was no longer in that dark room—she was home, in her father's house.

She blinked, confused, her gaze scanning the room until it landed on two familiar faces—her father, Jeremy, and Kaden, standing beside her bed.

"Thank God she's okay," Jeremy exhaled, his voice thick with relief. But Sherlyn just stared at him, dazed and silent.

It took her a moment to truly understand—she was safe. Those men were gone. That nightmare... was over.

Then something clicked in her mind, and her eyes widened as they locked onto her father's.

"I'll call the doctor," Jeremy said quickly, as if avoiding her gaze. Before she could find her voice, he turned and left the room, leaving her alone with Kaden.

"Kaden, I—"

"Shh… Don't talk," he said gently, stepping closer. "The doctor's on the way. You need to rest."

She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness swept over her, and she collapsed back onto the pillows with a soft groan.

"T-Those people… they—" Sherlyn's voice cracked, her throat dry and raw from dehydration. She struggled to continue, but the words stuck.

Her lashes fluttered again, exhaustion pulling her under. Before she could say another word, darkness claimed her once more.

While the doctor was busy examining Sherlyn, Kaden stepped outside the room, phone pressed to his ear.

"She's back. She's safe," he informed Eveline quietly.
