I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124: Just Feel Better by Saying It

Ruth raised her eyes slightly, looking at Yanis as she spoke each word deliberately, "Doesn't Mr. Lawrence care enough about you?"

Yanis pursed her lips, "I meant before."

Ruth sighed, "Before... I unintentionally overheard Mr. Lawrence talking to Albi. No matter which sentence it was, the feeling I got after hearing it was that Mr. Lawrence truly loves his wife."

Ruth paused for a few seconds at this point, "So, it was at that moment that I completely buried my feelings bit by bit. Because no matter how hard I tried, even if I shone as brightly as Miss Bennett someday, I would never be the one Mr. Lawrence loves."

"Mrs. Lawrence, I'm telling you all this just to find someone to share the thoughts and feelings I've kept in my heart for years. So that I don't feel like there's something weighing me down, and speaking about it would make me feel a bit better."

Yanis opened her mouth, wanting to say something. Yet, when she began speaking, she realized that some words, when said at this moment, felt feeble and inadequate.

So, Yanis didn't say much more.

"Do you want more water?" Yanis didn't address Ruth's earlier words but instead looked at the now-empty glass in Ruth's hand and softly asked.

Ruth hesitated for a moment and then handed the glass to Yanis, "Thank you."

Taking the glass, Yanis turned around to fetch more water and mentioned, "While you were inside, Albi called your family, but the outcome wasn't very positive."

Ruth didn't show much emotion upon hearing Yanis' words, "For them, my life and death have no impact. I kept their numbers because the company required us to have an emergency contact. I had no choice but to write down their numbers, although I've rarely used them."

Yanis didn't feel it was her place to question why, so she handed the refilled glass to Ruth, saying, "Albi will arrange for a temporary nurse to take care of you."

Ruth simply nodded, "Alright, thank you."

Ruth's straightforward acceptance of the help was something Yanis appreciated about her personality.

After chatting with Ruth in the room for a while, Yanis left.

Zane was waiting at the door and approached Yanis as soon as he saw her come out.

Yanis glanced behind Zane, "Where's Albi?"

"He hasn't arrived yet."

"Let's go back. We can have Albi find a temporary caregiver for her," Yanis suggested.

Zane nodded and reached out to hold Yanis' hand as they walked out.

After a few steps, Yanis turned to Zane, looking at his face, and called out softly, "Zane."

"Yes?"

"Do you... know that Ms. Walpole used to like you?"

Upon hearing Yanis' question, Zane initially appeared stunned before admitting openly, "I could sense it."

"You could sense it?"

Zane affirmed, "During a certain period, Ruth temporarily acted as my assistant due to work reasons. We worked together on some projects, and I could tell from her every word and action."

"Was that around the time your relationship with Neve had already deteriorated?"

Zane shook his head, "No."

Upon hearing Zane's response and recalling what Ruth had said earlier, everything seemed to fit together.
