Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

After lounging in the hospital for two days, her belief that the rumors were false strengthened.

People were saying Cedrick and Gwendolyn were the model couple of Salinsburgh, looking perfect and sweet from every camera angle. It seems to me that they’re probably putting up a front. Cedrick doesn’t seem to feel any lust toward Gwendolyn despite her beauty. Every time he came to the hospital, all he ever did was chat with me. Meanwhile, the guards got to enjoy meals from a five-star hotel. He was so gentle with me, but beneath his soft words hinted at a sliver of estrangement as though the couple weren’t as close as they seemed. I’ve been here a few days but don’t see Cedrick buying me a new phone. He merely assigned more guards to watch over me and forbade me from going anywhere. I haven’t heard anything from Boss either, so I don’t have any of the latest intel.

The woman sighed as she studied her face in the small mirror on the table. A few minutes later, she began spacing out with her chin resting on her palms.

A grim expression marred her pretty face when she thought of her superior’s command for her mission.

“What are you thinking?”

A deep yet gentle male voice sounded from the bedside, startling her.

She turned around, saw Cedrick’s handsome face, and instantly steadied herself.

“H-Hubby, why didn’t you make a sound when you came in?”

Cedrick’s intense gaze lingered on her face as if he was seeing someone else through her.

He then averted his gaze when he saw the confusion in her eyes. “You were lost in thought, Gwenny, so you didn’t notice me entering,” he calmly explained.

The corners of her lips curled into a sweet smile. “I was just thinking about you, and you appeared.”

Cedrick remained seated by the bed, his demeanor still somewhat indifferent as he listened to her speak. “I should be able to be discharged today, right, Hubby? I haven’t seen Benny and Zendy for a week now. I’m anxious and want to see them as soon as possible.”

For the past two days, the doctor has been examining me and keeping me here by insisting I have high blood glucose, optic neuropathy, or low blood pressure. I’m bored out of my brain, staying in the narrow confines of this room!

Cedrick chuckled softly. “Well, I’m actually here to talk about getting you discharged. I’ve spoken to the doctor, and he said your condition has stabilized. You can leave the hospital today.”

“Really? That’s great!”

Ecstatic at the news, the woman quickly got out of bed and began to pack her belongings.

However, there wasn’t much for her to pack, considering she was kidnapped in the first place, and Cedrick didn’t have many items for her after rescuing her.

Cedrick tucked his hand in the pockets of his suit pants and walked out of the room, leaving her to pack up.
