Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire's Wakeup Call novel Chapter 9

Megan found it unbearable. “Sullivan, this is a hospital!”

“I’m well aware.” Sullivan replied, unfazed. He pressed his body against hers, his handsome face close to her ear, his voice carrying a hint of danger. “Do you know who he is?”

She understood the veiled implications of his question.

He was the president of the Lowry Group, a man of status and position. He wouldn’t allow his wife to get too close to other men.

Megan gave a bitter smile. She said, “Sullivan, I don’t entertain sordid thoughts like you, and I’m not in the mood… Rest assured, I won’t get involved with anyone else before our divorce is finalized.”

With those words, she pushed him away and turned to enter the patient’s room.

Sullivan followed suit, pushing the door open and stepping inside. His frown deepened as he realized it wasn’t a private room.

Cora, ever the peacemaker, brought over a chair and whispered soothingly, “Take a seat! I’ll have Megan peel an apple for you. Oh, Megan, don’t just stand there! You’ll be going home with Sullivan soon. Your father will me in my care!”

Sullivan sat down and engaged in small talk with Joseph.

He might have been distant with Megan, but in front of her father, he was impeccable. With years of experience in the cutthroat business world, it was easy for him to charm people when he put his mind to it. Joseph had always like him.

When Sullivan suggested transferring Joseph to a different hospital, however, the old man declined with a chuckle. “Let’s not trouble ourselves! This place is good, and Dr. Begonia has been very attentive.”

Sullivan, always careful to measure his words and did not insist. “As long as you’re comfortable, Dad.”

At that moment, Megan handed him a freshly peeled apple. Sullivan accepted it only to set it aside, grasping her wrist instead. Standing up, he addressed Joseph and Cora, “I’ll take Megan back first. Take care of yourself, Dad.”

Joseph nodded, watching them leave.

As Cora was tidying up the room, Joseph suddenly asked, “They have been having issues, haven’t they?”

Cora’s hands trembled slightly. She quickly covered up, “Not at all! Megan and Sullivan are doing great!”

But Joseph sighed, “You’re still lying to me! Megan looks at him differently now; her eyes used to light up when she looked at Sullivan, but not anymore.”
