CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 695

"I need to see Nina!" Scarlett could not wait any longer in the hospital room.

"No way. You're a prisoner. You can't leave the room," James replied.

"You can follow me, can't you? Do you think I can run in my current state?" Scarlett could not understand his stubbornness.

James was firm. "Without orders from above, you can't take a single step out of this room."

Seeing he was unmoved, Scarlett's expression hardened. "What if I insist on seeing her?"

James started to respond, "Then I'm sorry, but—"

Before he could finish, Scarlett slapped him hard across the face.

James was taken aback by her fierceness. He had not expected her to get physical. He had been disciplined before, but never hit by a woman.

"You shrew..."

Scarlett, balancing on her crutch, kicked at him again. She was not one to back down easily. She had tolerated him long enough, with all the rules and strict treatment.

Being cooped up in the hospital room was driving her crazy. She just wanted to see Nina, but he wouldn't let her, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

James dodged her attack, grabbing her leg and frowning, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You're still injured!"

James dodged her attack and grabbed her leg, frowning. "Are you out of your mind? You're still injured!"

"None of your business!" Scarlett snapped, lifting her leg to kick again.

James let go, trying to avoid hurting her further.

Felix, watching the scene unfold, tried to intervene. "You two, stop fighting. It's not worth it. James, she's just a girl. Give her a break."

"Can you shut up?" James shot back. "You're always playing the nice guy!"

Scarlett glared at James, anger evident in her voice. "Oh, so you’re doing this on purpose! Felix is much kinder than you, a hundred times over!"

"And how exactly is he kind? All he does is stir things up. I’m just following orders!" James defended himself while dodging Scarlett's attacks.
