Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 341

Chapter 341:

Stella, frail and aging, leaned heavily on her two helpers, each step a cautious shuffle. She glared at Eileen with an intensity that seemed to cut through the air between them.

Sensing the growing tension in the room, Josue swiftly rose from his seat and intercepted Stella before things could escalate further.

“Mrs. Dawson, it’s been too long. It seems trouble always follows when we meet—must be some sort of bad luck charm,” Josue said with a forced lightness. “Please, take a seat here and let’s wait for the news. The doctor said Bryan is fine.”

Josue guided Stella to a nearby bench, practically pulling her down onto it. Stella lacked the strength to resist his firm grasp, and as soon as she was seated, she turned to him sharply.

“Josue Payne, let me go. I just want to ask Eileen if she’ll only be satisfied once Bryan dies in front of her.”

Josue stood his ground, his eyes fixed on Eileen, who stood with an air of defiance. “Whether you want to believe it or not, if Bryan were to collapse right now, it wouldn’t be you struggling to cope, but her. And if Bryan were to sacrifice himself for her, he’d do it willingly!”

Josue’s words cut through Stella, leaving her at a loss for words.

“So, she’s entirely wrong. If you can’t even manage your own grandson, why create problems for others?”

Josue bent down slightly, placing a hand gently on Stella’s back, cautious of her escalating temper.

Eileen turned away, unmoved by Stella’s fury. Her gaze remained fixed on the red light in the top right corner of the waiting room, her thoughts consumed solely by Bryan.

Then, the doors to the operating room swung open, and Bryan emerged, unsteady on his feet.

His white shirt was marred with bloodstains, his complexion pale, and a portion of his hair on the right side had been shaved and was now wrapped in bandages. He looked a stark contrast to his usual lively and handsome self.

His eyes flickered, landing on Eileen, who was struggling to rise from the floor.

Dizzy from crying, Eileen rushed toward him and threw herself into his arms.

His body swayed slightly, prompting the attending medical staff to step forward quickly and offer their support.

Once steady, they retreated, and Bryan moved closer to Stella, who had also risen and moved toward him.

“Madam, Mr. Dawson is stable,” the doctor explained.

“However, his left palm is severely shattered, with the bones fragmented, which will limit his hand’s mobility. He has also sustained a serious head injury with significant blood loss and a mild concussion” the doctor explained earnestly.

Eileen ignored the doctor’s words, pressing her face against Bryan’s chest, comforted by the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

“Look at him, still strong enough to hold onto a woman. He’s fine,” Josue remarked, his voice carrying a hint of relief.
