Raelynn was worried about Walter.
She insisted on taking him to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up just to be safe.
Because some injuries weren't visible on the surface. Internal trauma could be far more severe and not immediately apparent. With her experience in the medical field, she knew that being overly cautious was never a bad thing.
Preston Moreno caught wind of the incident.
Even though he was out of state, he hurriedly called her. "What happened? Are you okay?"
Raelynn sat in the ER lobby.
She closed her eyes and massaged her throbbing temples. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. That car was just an extra option I arranged for them. I wasn't in it."
For business dinners like this, you always had to think ahead.
Mr. Zane and the others had their own rides.
Raelynn had perfectly accommodated everyone else.
That specific car just happened to be taken by Seraphina.
Preston finally let out a sigh of relief.
His biggest concern was Raelynn. As long as she was safe, he was at peace.
"Did Sebastian take the car to get it inspected?"
"Yeah, he doesn't trust me."
As she said that, a self-deprecating smirk touched Raelynn's lips.
After all these years, he still didn't have a single ounce of trust in her. The fact that he could casually believe she was capable of orchestrating a murder was nothing short of an insult.
Preston understood what she meant.
All those years of marriage meant absolutely nothing.
"But he's so biased toward Seraphina. If she insists on blaming you, will he twist the truth just to get her justice? Especially since he took the car."
This was what Preston worried about the most.
What if they fabricated evidence to frame her?
Who could they even appeal to?
Raelynn was silent for a moment, picking at her fingernails before answering. "Sebastian wouldn't stoop that low. He might be cold and ruthless, but he's not the type of man to pull dirty tricks just for the sake of romance."
Even though he didn't trust her or understand her.
She had to admit one thing.
She knew him inside out.
She had loved him so deeply for years. Every movement, every subtle smile of his—she had replayed them in her mind countless times, just to feel a little closer to him.
Seraphina's wound was being cleaned and stitched up.
The cut was indeed incredibly deep.
It was over five inches long. Even with advanced cosmetic suturing techniques, there was no way to avoid a permanent scar. Fortunately, her adrenaline had spiked during the sheer terror of the crash, minimizing the excruciating pain in the immediate aftermath.
She had also suffered various soft tissue contusions all over her body.
Once settled in her hospital room.
Seraphina's mood was incredibly grim.
She was deeply vain about her appearance. No woman wanted a massive, ugly scar permanently etched into their skin.
Because of it, her hatred for Raelynn burned even hotter.
She was convinced that Raelynn had lost her mind after hearing all those details about her spending the night with Sebastian.
But right now...
She looked over at Sebastian, who was standing by her bed. "Sebastian, I'm okay now. God is clearly looking out for me. Don't worry too much."
Sebastian was reviewing her medical chart. Hearing her voice, he gave her a brief glance. "Rest well."
Seraphina stared at him, hesitating for a moment before cautiously testing the waters. "After our first night in Seaport City... what are your thoughts, Sebastian?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
