"Alright."
Sebastian kept his gaze fixed on her. "What are you thinking?"
Raelynn stared at Sierra's pale, motionless face.
"Do you think the chandelier falling was an accident?" she asked in return.
"No." His answer was sharp and completely devoid of hesitation.
A turbulent storm raged in Raelynn's chest, but she ruthlessly suppressed it.
Keeping her expression detached, she continued administering first aid.
A chandelier that massive—if it had landed squarely on someone, especially a frail patient who had been comatose for years, it would be an undisputed, instantaneous death sentence.
Sierra had only been clipped by a fraction of the debris, yet she was bleeding profusely. What would have happened to Rowan, who was dead-center beneath it, or Dr. Hayes, who had been walking straight into the strike zone?
One invalid and one elderly woman.
Would they even have stood a chance?
Her mind was overloaded with dark thoughts.
Raelynn's lips pressed into a thin line, her breathing growing heavy. The hand applying pressure to the wound began to shake uncontrollably.
Suddenly.
A large, warm hand enveloped her bloodstained, trembling fingers.
Raelynn didn't look up.
Sebastian's calm, steady voice anchored her. "It was a false alarm. The people you care about are safe."
She kept her head bowed.
But her eyes were fixated on the hand holding hers.
She didn't say another word.
The convoy sped toward the hospital.
Fortunately, a branch of Covenant Medical Center was nearby. They arrived in barely ten minutes.
The cars braked in a staggered line outside the entrance.
With a heavy sigh, she took the pills and swallowed them with some water.
Julian subtly shot Raelynn a thumbs-up.
His grandmother was notoriously stubborn. She had been a force of nature her whole life and never listened to anyone. Raelynn was the only one who could actually manage her.
"I just hate that this was supposed to be a joyous occasion for you and little Lily, and it turned into this disaster. I was worried it would upset you," Dr. Hayes murmured.
Raelynn paused.
Her gaze drifted over to where Sylvia was standing.
Her tone carried a distinct chill. "It does."
No one had expected her to be so blunt. After all, someone had just nearly died—feelings usually took a backseat to life-and-death stakes.
Julian straightened his posture. "Then we'll throw another celebration for you later."
"No need." Raelynn turned back, her eyes icy as she emphasized every word. "Just figure out how exactly this 'accident' happened."
Hearing her tone, Julian narrowed his eyes, his voice dropping into a dangerous register. "Everything in the estate is maintained on a strict schedule. That chandelier failing today of all days is definitely suspicious."

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!...
