CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Heartbroken

Lilian sat on the sofa while Francis held a towel in his hand, wiping her hair.

Her face was pale and lifeless, and when the overhead light shone on her, she looked as pale as a dead person.

Lilian stared blankly, motionless. Francis lowered his head and glanced at her.

But he didn't say anything, continuing to dry her hair.

He didn't even ask what happened to her in the Landau family. Lilian didn't know if he guessed and didn't want to ask, or if he simply didn't care about what happened to her there.

Just like last time, he remained silent even after he knew.

He didn't even ask if she was in pain.

After all, how could a dummy feel pain?

Francis finished wiping her hair and used a hairdryer to blow it dry. She remained in the same position, not moving at all.

Her long, black, and silky hair hung on both sides, making her face even paler as if it could turn transparent and disappear at any moment.

Francis stood behind her, still not saying a word.

The two of them remained silent like this.

Suddenly, the abrupt ringtone broke the silence. It was Francis's phone. He put down the hairdryer, took out his phone from his pocket, and went to answer the call.

Lilian's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her head to see him answering the call with a serious expression.

She looked away, lowered her head to look at her abdomen, and touched it with her fingers.

This child was not welcomed just like her.

Lilian closed her eyes. She didn't cry. Maybe she couldn't cry anymore.

Crying could only express sadness, not despair which couldn't be expressed.

After finishing the call, Francis returned to Lilian's side and rubbed her hair. "Go to sleep early. I'll go out for a while."

Lilian looked up, her gaze keen as she looked at Francis. A faint smile appeared on her pale face as she obediently nodded.
