After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 1132

Chapter 1132 Weak Makeup, Acting to the End

In the hospital room, Mavis helped Moore adjust his pillow and prop it up so he could barely sit up with legs that were completely powerless. Moore's gaze never left her face, his eyes filled with obsession and passion.

"Mavis, if NIB really finds out that Anthony is the mastermind behind all this, would you divorce him?"

"I would," she answered firmly. "But there's a child between us that can never be severed."

Even if they divorced and Alistair's custody was given to her, Anthony still needed to pay child support every month - even though she felt capable of raising their son on her own.

Moore frowned in utter disappointment. "If only you two didn't have a child."

Mavis remained silent.

Alistair was a child she had begged for by accidently buying inferior birth control pills. He was everything to her now; she could live without a husband but not without her son.

Knock knock knock -

Suddenly urgent knocking sounded from outside the door followed by Kane's anxious voice.

"Mrs. Callahan, Mr. Callahan's wound seems to have worsened. Although it didn't puncture his heart directly, it probably injured blood vessels around his heart causing him to suffer from myocardial infarction. You need to come see him quickly."

"What!" Mavis immediately stood up and headed towards the door.

"Mavis! Don't go!" Moore wanted to stop her but couldn't move at all due to numb hands.

"Don't worry," Mavis turned back before leaving through the door. "I'll just go take a look upstairs and call Raymond over while I'm at it. Tell him what you want for breakfast."

"Mavis..." Before he could shout any more words out loud, Mavis had already disappeared outside of the room door.

Upstairs in front of the VIP ward, the Callahan family bodyguards were guarding while medical staffs including doctors and Zack were inside.

An attractive nurse was quickly applying whitening powder on Anthony's face and doing makeup. Zack gave thumbs-up when asked whether Anthony looked weak enough or not. Everyone agreed with Mr. Callahan's various tricks.

Outside the ward, the Callahan family bodyguards coughed twice together. "Hello Mrs. Callahan!"

Their respectful voices echoed loudly. It scared both Mavis herself as well as everyone else inside. A group of people hurriedly cleaned up the "battlefield"of make-up.

When the guards opened the hospital room door for Mavis to enter, she saw a man lying unconscious on the bed right away.

The bandage on his chest was stained with blood, as if the wound had reopened. Anthony's face was pale, even though he was still unconscious, and his forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat.

Three or four doctors in white coats surrounded him like they were consulting. Mavis hurried over and asked in a low voice, "How is he doing?"

The lead doctor sighed deeply. "It's hard to say."

Why? Did his condition suddenly worsen?

Another doctor said, "Mr. Callahan has been emotionally troubled for a long time. It's a heart problem."

Mavis was confused.

In this day and age, why talk about emotional problems instead of medical technology?

"You spend every day with Mr. Callahan," the head doctor continued. "You should know what caused his heart problem. Couples need to communicate regularly and calmly with each other. After all, Mr. Callahan's injury is too close to the heart. If it triggers diseases like myocarditis, that would be bad."

Mavis nodded her head downcastly. "He is the patient. I will follow him."

Several doctors wrote something on their medical records and left one by one before saying goodbye, "But you don't have to worry too much. We've already given him medication so Mr. Callahan should wake up soon."
