The Billionaire Husband's Betrayal by Nancii Agosto

Chapter 6: Claire’s POV

I sit up frantically. I must’ve fainted and that frightened me but what was even more frightening was where I was. I was in a hospital bed, and I heard a man speaking with the doctor just outside the door. It sounded as though they were talking about me. Just as I tuned into their conversation,

They come into the room.

The doctor introduces himself and asks how I’m feeling. I give a quick reply. I was more curious as to who he was talking to.

“What are you doing here?” I should’ve said ‘thank you’ or ‘hello’ but shock same first. It was Jordan Taylor. We had graduated Architectural school together although I hadn’t seen him in many years after he took a job opportunity abroad. He was famous in school for his innovation. Jordan was one of the only people I’ve ever considered a friend.

“Hey, I was out walking my dog Boomer when I saw you on the sidewalk. You turned pale so I ran to help you and brought you here. It’s nice to see you, Claire.” He says in a gentle smile as if a smile alone could break me into a billion pieces like glass.

“Last time I saw you – you were packing your bag and holding a one-way ticket to Europe. When did you come back?” I was happy to see him but confused and shocked that we’d meet again like this. I was always happy for Jordan’s success, but I didn’t think I’d ever see him back here.
