CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Pregnancy

Fortunately, Lester held her fast. He felt the heat from her shoulder and looked at Courtney in surprise, "She has a fever."

Courtney was startled, "Go to the doctor!"

Lillian had had a long dream, in which she went back to her childhood.

She was locked by Ruby in a storage room. She was swallowed up by the darkness as if falling into a black hole.

Lilian slapped the door desperately, but no one answered her.

As she was desperate, the door slowly opened, and a beam of light came through the crack of the door, growing bigger and brighter and illuminating her gloomy eyes.

A tall and stalwart figure was bathed in that light, like a god's arrival to dispel the haze around her.

He held out his hand with the white shirt sleeves rolled up. The fair and slender fingers reached out in front of her, crushing all the defenses in her heart.

It seemed like God's hand to save the world. From then on, Lilian became his most devout believer.

However, when she reached out her trembling hand to catch it, he suddenly withdrew his hand.

Lilian got up in a hurry, trying to catch the hand, but it was in vain, and finally, the door was closed.

She returned to the darkness.

Lillian suddenly opened her eyes and saw the glaring light above her head. She gasped, and the panic in her dream still lingered.

"She wakes up," Courtney's voice sounded from the side.

"You tell her."

"I... You'd better do it."

"... Do you think it's appropriate?"

Lillian turned her head and saw Lester and Courtney in front of the bed arguing about something.

Lester coughed, patted Courtney on the shoulder, and walked out.

Lillian sat up and gestured to Courtney, "What are you talking about?"
