Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 699
The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet.
He was wheeled into the hospital room.
Leo Flynn was still shaken by the sheer terror of what had just happened. He followed closely behind Raelynn. "I thought you wouldn't even come to check on him. Sebastian's in bad shape. He completely used himself as a human shield. With the added weight, even though the height of the fall was reduced, the impact did massive damage."
He carefully watched Raelynn's expression.
She simply sat in the chair beside the bed, quietly staring at the unconscious Sebastian.
She didn't say a word.
Leo didn't let the awkward silence deter him. He sank into the sofa behind her and kept talking. "He fractured his lower leg, so that's going to take two or three months to heal. Mild concussion, extensive soft tissue damage across his back, and cuts everywhere. The doctor said his blood won't clot properly. Thank God there was leftover plasma from Lily's procedure, or we'd be in serious trouble."
Hearing that, Raelynn finally reacted.
Her eyelids fluttered.
Almost three pints of blood was a massive amount. She only had a fragmented understanding of Sebastian's bleeding disorder. He never talked about it, and without a specific incident, there was no way for her to know.
The only time she had seen it firsthand was when they were kids, and she had saved his life.
For years, she had blamed herself, thinking her poor first-aid skills were the reason he wouldn't stop bleeding.
Then there was last year, when Sebastian had sustained an external injury. She had seen how the wound refused to heal. She hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now, everything made terrifying sense.
Looking back, the signs were always there.
And Lily's condition...
She had inherited it from him.
A bitter, mocking smile tugged at the corners of Raelynn's lips.
He had given their child absolutely nothing in life, yet he had managed to pass down this deadly genetic curse with perfect accuracy.
"Raelynn?" Leo grew anxious when she still didn't speak. "Not many men would go to such extremes. Honestly, the way I see it, it's not just that he couldn't bear to see a child get hurt. It's more like... he did it because of you. Loving the mother means loving the child."
After all, she had Quentin Yves as a prime example of a biological father's ultimate failure.
But she wasn't about to buy into the romanticized idea that Sebastian did this out of love for her.
She was no longer that naive, starry-eyed girl. Reality had long since forged her into someone bulletproof.
"You're right about one thing," Raelynn replied, addressing only the last part of his statement. "Even a biological father might not go to such lengths."
Leo had the sinking feeling that his actual point had gone in one ear and right out the other.
But he couldn't blame her. He knew exactly what he had said and done in the past to earn her icy indifference.
Defeated, Leo stood up.
"Julian just called me with an update. Seraphina Vance's situation is complicated. She probably won't be serving any jail time. Because she's pregnant, the law dictates that her sentence will be suspended, and she'll remain out on bail."
Hearing that, the atmosphere in the room shifted.

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!...
