Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 856

Rowan nodded.

Raelynn navigated the wheelchair carefully, sticking to the smooth, paved paths.

The moment they exited the room.

Sylvia stepped slowly out from the shadows of a corner. She was deathly pale, her tightly clenched fists shaking. What exactly did Rowan want to say to Dr. Hayes and Quentin? What on earth did she know?

A frantic panic seized Sylvia.

Digging her nails into her palms, she quickly turned and took a shortcut toward the main hall.

-

Raelynn brought Rowan into the hall and gently touched her hand, finding it frighteningly cold.

Worried that the chill would make her frail mother sick, she murmured, "Mom, Grandma Hayes will be here in a second. Wait right here, I'm going to grab you a hand warmer."

Lost in her own turbulent thoughts, Rowan gave an absentminded nod.

Just as Raelynn was about to leave, she spotted Dr. Hayes walking toward them from a distance. Satisfied, she headed out through the main doors.

As soon as she stepped outside.

Caught off guard, she collided squarely with a solid chest.

She stumbled backward.

A strong arm wrapped securely around her waist.

Raelynn looked up.

And met Sebastian's deep, fathomless gaze.

He looked down at her. "Where are you rushing off to?"

Feeling self-conscious, Raelynn patted his arm away and took a step back. "My mom's cold. I was going to fetch a hand warmer."

Sebastian shifted his gaze toward the interior of the hall.

Just in time to see Dr. Hayes enter through a side door and make her way over to Rowan.

"I'll have someone grab it for you. Stay by her side. Don't leave her."

Raelynn gave him a suspicious look. "Oh, thanks. But why?"

Though Rowan needed care, she was lucid now. It wasn't as if she required round-the-clock monitoring every second.

Sebastian's eyelashes lowered slightly. "Blanche was the one behind the car accident years ago. She may be out of her mind, but the true motive that drove her to hire a hitman to kill your adoptive mother... there might still be secrets buried there."

A heavy shock reverberated through Raelynn's chest.

She looked up, holding his gaze.

They stood in silence for a long moment.

Alarm bells blared in Raelynn's mind. It suddenly hit her—Rowan had been best friends with her biological mother, Lydia, and Blanche knew them both...

But the very next second.

Snap!

The remaining bolts ripped completely free.

The colossal crystal chandelier plummeted.

Sebastian shoved Rowan's wheelchair out of the drop zone with explosive force. The momentum carried him forward, but not fast enough. The jagged edge of the chandelier scraped against his left shoulder, smashing into him with enough sheer kinetic force to drive him down onto one knee.

On the other side.

Raelynn's reflexes kicked in. Trusting Sebastian with her mother, she bolted straight for Dr. Hayes.

But just as her fingers grazed the older woman's arm.

Another figure dashed forward, deliberately shoving her out of the way.

The heavy shove sent Raelynn crashing hard against the floor.

Sierra lunged at Dr. Hayes, pushing her clear of the danger zone. "Grandma, look out!"

A split second later.

Sierra was crushed under the falling glass, the debris raining down on her head and back.

She collapsed into a rapidly expanding pool of blood...
