I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Yanis, don't be afraid, I'm here!

The phone rang and Zane answered immediately, "What's the update?"

Lane's voice came through the phone, "We're waiting for the forensic results. The cause of his death may not be because of your actions. Don't worry for now. However, you were the first to act, so it might be a bit tricky."

Zane listened to Lane and his eyes darkened slightly, "Then please figure out how to bail Ivan and Robin out first. I'll take responsibility for everything else."

Lane replied, "There is a way out of this situation. Ahmed has a criminal record and he was the one who crossed the line this time. If Fukuma can testify, along with Ms. Thompson..."

"I don't want Yanis involved in this," Zane interrupted before Lane could finish.

After hearing Zane's words, Lane paused for a few seconds before responding, "Okay then. I'll bail Ivan and Robin out first while we wait for the forensic results."

Zane nodded in agreement and said thank you before hanging up.

He stood in the hallway outside Yanis' hospital room for a moment to compose himself before entering.

Yanis seemed restless as she slept with furrowed brows like he was having nightmares.

Zane sat down next to him on his bed and gently smoothed his brow with his hand while soothingly saying,"Yanis, don't be afraid. I'm here."

Over and over again he repeated these words until Yanis' furrowed brows relaxed enough that Zane leaned forward between them to kiss her softly on her forehead.

Zane had been sitting by Yanis' side silently, watching over her when she was asleep. When Yanis opened her eyes, all that greeted her was Zane's tired face.

Instinctively wanting to touch Zane's face, but as soon as she lifted up an arm, there was pain shooting from around her waist, causing her to gasp involuntarily.

Beforehand it wasn't noticeable, but now after waking up from sleep, it hurt too much.

Sensing something wrong, Zane quickly stood up upon hearing Yanis' sharp intake of breath, asking, "Are you okay? Should I call a doctor?"

Yanis grabbed onto Zane's hand weakly, whispering, "It's fine, just my body is sore from sleeping awkwardly."

Worried about Yani, Zane asked,"Do you want me to massage your back?"

Yanis shook her head. "What time is it now?"

Zane raised his hand to check the time. "It's early morning. What's up? Are you hungry?"

When Bonnie left earlier, she told Zane that Yanis didn't eat much at night.

"No, I'm not hungry." Yanis gritted her teeth against the pain and shifted her body to one side. "Zane, come lie down with me for a while."

After hearing Yanis' request, Zane hesitated a bit. "No need, I'll just stay here with you."

Yanis was insistent. "But I want you to be with me. I had a nightmare just now."

Under Yanis' stubborn insistence, Zane eventually lay down next to her on the hospital bed.

The bed was small and uncomfortable for Zane who stood at almost six feet tall, so he lay on the edge of it.

Yanis tried to move over as much as possible so that Zane could have more space.

Stella put down a thermos in her hand. "Yanis, go wash up first. I'll pour it out and let it cool down for you to eat when you come out."

Yanis nodded at Stella before turning to look at Bonnie. "Where's Zane?"

"Oh, Mr. Lawrence," Bonnie said while arranging Yanis' shoes. "It seems like he had something important come up at work that Albi couldn't handle alone! Do you want me to give him a call and scold him for leaving?"

Yanis stared at Bonnie suspiciously. "You... seem off."

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "What's wrong? Are you not happy that the person who's here with you isn't Zane but me instead? Are you not fond of me?"

Yanis choked back a response before saying quietly, "No, I'm going to wash up now."

Bonnie helped Yanis off of the bed as she continued speaking angrily about how much of a scumbag Zane was for leaving Yanis alone in this condition just because he had work.

"I don't have anything important going on right now," Yanis said softly in defense of Zane's actions.

"You're too understanding!" Bonnie exclaimed.

Although she didn't respond directly to what Bonnie said next, Yanis still felt uneasy inside.

After finishing breakfast later that morning, Yanis sent Zane a message.

Zane sent back a quick reply: [I'm sorry, Yanis, something came up at work this morning before you woke up. I couldn't bring myself to wake you. I'll come over as soon as possible after I finish my work. Bonnie will take you to the check-up later.]
