Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 196

The doctor felt the change in his demeanor and realized her mistake. Nodding, she quickly apologized. "I see. My apologies, Mr. Foster, I shouldn’t have guessed on my own." She then paused for a brief moment before continuing in her professional tone, "But regardless, she is in good hands now and should recover well. Don’t worry, we have got her." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Ryan offered a curt nod, but his jaws remained clenched. If it had been before, he would have easily shrugged off such a small misunderstanding. But with the recent events weighing on him one after the other, he could no longer ignore it.

Especially now, when he could finally see someone’s foul play at work. How could he be so dumb to not notice it before? How could he be so negligent when it was all right in front of his eyes?

Perhaps it was his fault. He had indulged Delyth so much that she had started to believe and grow confident to think that she could get away with everything. But no —not anymore. If he has given her the wrong confidence, he would also help her rectify it as well because he would no longer be taking it anymore.

Emyr stood and watched as Aiden read the documents carefully, his sharp eyes scanning each line before signing his name at the bottom of the papers with swift precision.

"Is there anything else?" Aiden asked, putting his signature dot at the end of his name and glancing at his secretary.

Emyr leaned forward to take the file from Aiden’s desk before shaking his head. "No, sir. For today, that’s all that was left on your schedule since you requested your evening to remain free."

Aiden nodded, adjusting the cuffs of his tailored suit. Rising from his chair, he exuded the same commanding presence that he has always been known for. "Then, getting up, he said, ready to leave, "Then wrap the rest and call it a day."

Seeing him leave with that, Emyr hesitated for a bit, her brows knitting together briefly before stepping forward. "Sir, do you want me to accompany you?"

Aiden paused mid-step, turning slightly to glance back over his shoulder. His gaze was unreadable, his expression calm but distant. "That won’t be necessary. Take the rest of the day off," he replied, his voice flat and measured.

There was nothing particularly unusual in Aiden’s demeanor, but to Emyr, something felt off. He had worked closely with Aiden long enough to recognize the subtle signs —something was keeping his boss on edge.

"Yes, sir," Emyr said, though there was still lingering unease in his voice. But he didn’t say anything more and watched as Aiden left the office.
