Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 630 Emilia

Meryl never expected to run into Felix while she was in the hospital for bed rest.

After the recent car accident, he had steel rods in both legs, and his presence was a surprise.

Chandler had left the room early that morning to go to work, leaving Meryl to follow the doctor's orders and stay in bed.

Boredom set in quickly, and just when she was starting to feel restless, the door swung open. Philip wheeled Felix in.

Meryl was bored, and Felix even more so. After all, she had onl spent half a day in the hospital, while Felix had been confined there for a whole week. When he spotted her, excitement flickered in his eyes, but Meryl felt a wave of wariness and caution wash over her.

Felix's eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief, sending a chill down Meryl's spine.

"Don't even think about it! We're not close enough for you to be offering your 'help.""

Meryl was keenly aware of Chandler's feelings and didn't want him caught in the middle of a mess between her and Rachel.

Felix was known for his reckless behavior, and she feared he might actually do something to Rachel, complicating everything further.

Felix laughed. "Wow, you're still feeling sympathetic for the person who hurt you? Should I call you kind or just plain foolish? With that attitude, how do you expect to keep the baby safe?" He had little respect for Chandler.

In his eyes, Chandler pretended to care about Meryl, yet here he was, letting Rachel off the hook while his wife was in the hospital.

He mused, "If it were me, I would've kicked Rachel to the curl
