CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Community Clinic

Francis retrieved his overcoat and cast a glance at her. "Is there something else?"

Julian pursed her lips, looking somewhat aggrieved as she gazed at him. "Can't you stay a while longer?"

"No," he replied curtly, but then added, "I can't stay tonight."

He had said it this way. Julian knew there was no way she could keep him at this point, internally grinding her teeth. She released her grip on Francis with a touch of resentment.

"Never mind, go ahead."

She had stayed up late to be with him, thinking that he wouldn't leave at this time, but it seemed she had overly overestimated her place in Francis's mind.

For a brief moment, she might feel that he cared deeply for her, but in the next second, he would ruthlessly bring her back to reality.

If it weren't for Julian's resilient disposition, she might have gone insane long ago under his capricious demeanor!

And Francis did indeed depart, without even a backward glance, as if the man who had tenderly applied ointment to her just moments ago had been a mere illusion.

Inside the community clinic.

Lilian leaned against the bedside with her pallid lips. Two policemen stood beside her, along with the security guard from last night.

"This is how it happened. I heard the sound of glass breaking, so I rushed over and found her. I called the police as soon as I brought her here."

The residents of the house with the broken window were also present, demanding compensation from Lilian.

The police placed the suitcase in front of Lilian's bed and asked, "Is this suitcase yours?"

Lilian lifted her head, looking at the young police officer in front of her, and nodded.
