Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?
Chapter 538
Chapter 538
By the time Mila arrived at the hospital, the afternoon was already slipping away.
Stepping onto the inpatient floor, she spotted a man lingering outside a room, clutching a briefcase and some documents. He wore a well-tailored suit-the sort of crisp, professional attire that marked him as young but already a little world- weary. As Mila drew closer, she noticed sweat beading on his brow as he dabbed at his forehead, and she couldn't help but wonder at the sight.
"Why aren't you going in?"
It suddenly struck her-Sophia had only been out of prison for a year, and her mental state was far from stable. She hadn't resumed any real control over the Pembroke Family business, but she was still technically the president. This must be one of the company's employees.
So why was he blocking the doorway instead of going in?
"Ah, Chairwoman Sutherland, good afternoon... If you have business inside, please go ahead. I'm in no rush," the man said politely, stepping aside as she approached.
Mila didn't dwell on it. She reached for the doorknob and pushed the door open. The moment she set foot inside, someone seized her wrist. Before she could react, she was yanked off balance and dragged into the room.
The man who'd been about to follow her in paused, his grip on the documents trembling slightly. He hesitated, then quietly shut the door and abandoned any thought of entering. Instead, he made his way to a bench against the wall and sat down, suddenly feeling that maybe-whatever he'd come for wasn't so urgent after all.
He could wait.

Inside the room, Mila's arm was twisted behind her back, her face pressed to the wall. Disoriented, it took her a beat to realize what was happening.
