Awakened Housewife Ignore Betrayer's Begs (Scarlett) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 A Misleading Sight

Once they were ready, the two of them made their way to the pediatric unit.

From a distance, Scarlett saw Vincent leaning against Sabrina’s shoulder.

She paused, and Damian stopped with her.

Scarlett didn’t approach them. Instead, she went straight to the doctor’s office.

She needed to hear about Vanessa’s condition directly from the physician. Only then would she feel settled.

The doctor on duty went over Vanessa’s status patiently. Being a doctor herself, Scarlett understood the details. After the explanation, a quiet relief finally settled over her.

Leaving the office, she couldn’t help one last glance toward Vincent.

He was still in the same position, head resting on Sabrina’s shoulder. Their backs were to her, two figures leaning into each other, close and intimate.

Sensing Scarlett’s mood, Damian stepped forward. Without waiting for her to agree, he gently lifted her into his arms.

Looking down at her, he said softly, “You know, if you’ll let me… I could be the one you lean on,

too.”

Scarlett met his gaze but didn’t reply.

The movement caught Sabrina’s attention. She glanced over just in time to see Damian carrying Scarlett away–and caught a fragment of what he’d said.

A thought sparked in her mind–those words felt like they were meant for her. Damian must have seen her with Vincent and gotten jealous.

Maybe she needed to find a moment to explain things to him.

Lost in thought, she barely registered Vincent stirring beside her.

“Sabrina.”

He sat up straight and turned to her, noticing her distant expression. “Everything alright?”

Sabrina blinked, refocusing. “Yes, Vincent. What is it?”

He studied her with concern. “Are you tired?”

She shook her head with a gentle smile. “No, not at all.”

Vincent reached over and touched her hair, his voice softening. “Let me take

you home.”

“It’s fine,” she insisted. “I can stay with you–with Vanessa.”

“I’ll stay with her,” he said firmly. “You should rest. You have lab work tomorrow.”

Seeing his resolve, Sabrina yielded gracefully. “Alright.”

Vincent stood and offered his hand. “Come on, I’ll walk you out.”

Sabrina stared at his outstretched hand, her mind drifting again to the image of Damian carrying Scarlett. Maybe this was an opportunity.

If Damian had misunderstood, now was the time to clarify.

She smiled up at Vincent. “You’re exhausted. Really, I can just take a cab. You should stay with Vanessa.”

“I’d feel better if I took you myself,” he insisted.

Sabrina’s eyes softened persuasively. “But Vanessa needs you here. I’ll be fine–I got here on my own, didn’t I?”

Vincent hesitated, thinking of his daughter. Finally, he relented. “Then let me call Abbott to drive you.”

Touched by his worry but focused on her own plan, Sabrina shook her head. “I’ll text you when I’m home. Don’t fuss, okay?”

He didn’t argue further but still walked her out to a taxi, watching it pull away before returning inside.

Once in the cab, Sabrina said to the driver, “You can let me out up ahead. I’ll still pay the full fare.”

Pleased with the arrangement, the driver agreed.

After getting out, Sabrina took out her phone, opened her messages, and typed to Damian. “Mr. Langley, are you free to talk?”

She hit send, then turned back toward the hospital. It was late, and waiting outside alone didn’t feel safe. Returning to the hospital grounds was the wiser choice.

Instead of going back to the unit, she found a bench in the courtyard and sat down, phone in

Back in the room, Damian had just carried Scarlett to her bed. He was about to offer some comforting words when she spoke first.

“Damian,” she said quietly, “I’d like to take a shower.”

Damian paused, studying her face for any hint of what she might be feeling.
