The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife

Chapter 174: Five Years of Lies Unraveled

Sean POV

I wheeled Angela toward her hospital room, the twins walking quietly beside us. Just as we approached the door, I spotted two familiar figures ahead-Christina and William.

They actually dared to show up here? After what happened last night?

The man had even tried to attack my child!

"Angela! How are you feeling? Is your injury serious?" Christina called out, her perfectly modulated voice echoing in the sterile

corridor.

Angela stiffened in the wheelchair. “Thank you for your concern. I'm fine.”

Christina's smile faltered slightly as she stepped closer, mouth opening to say more. I smoothly positioned myself between them, blocking her approach.

"The children need rest," I said firmly, guiding the wheelchair into the VIP room. Aria and Ethan slipped in beside their mother, both casting wary glances at the unwelcome visitors.

I stood at the threshold, my body effectively barring the entrance. Without another word, I closed the door in their faces, shutting out Christina's perfectly arranged expression of disappointment.

"Sean, what is this about? We just came to check on her. After last night's incident..." Christina's voice trailed off as we stood in the plush hospital corridor. "You've seen her now. You can leave." My tone left no room for negotiation.

Christina bit her lower lip, eyes glistening with practiced vulnerability. William stepped forward, his face flushed with indignation.

"What's your problem, man? We've been friends since college, and this is how you treat us? You're rude to me, fine but to Christina

"What did you say?" I cut him off, my voice dropping dangerously low. "Say that again?"

William faltered momentarily before recovering his bravado. "Look, I know you're upset, but let's be realistic. You've been divorced from Angela for five years. Christina has been by your side all this time, and now-"
