Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 119

Chapter 119:

Ruby was her lifeline, the person she would do anything to protect.

Bryan quietly held her hand as he listened. When she finished, he took a deep breath and said, “You’re lucky to have had a kind-hearted stepmother. My experience wasn’t quite like yours.”

His tone was casual, almost as if he was discussing something minor, yet his words effectively shifted Eileen’s focus. She looked up, her eyes slightly tear-filled, and gazed at him in surprise.

She knew little about Bryan’s family, but his words made her wonder… Did he also have a stepmother?

Her train of thought was cut short as the ICU door burst open, prompting her to rise quickly, her nerves rattled.

However, the nurse called for someone else, unrelated to Ruby.

This brief interruption not only severed Bryan and Eileen’s ongoing conversation but also helped Eileen regain her senses.

Pulling her hand away, she reverted to her typically reserved expression and said, “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t have shared all this with you. It’s getting late. You should head home.”

She then moved to the ward’s exterior and looked through the window at Ruby.

The diminishing sound of footsteps made her assume Bryan had departed, causing her heart to tighten.
