She just needed an IV drip and some rest.
Raelynn slept for a while.
By the time she woke up, the sky outside was dark.
It had started snowing again.
The lights in the hospital room were dim and soft, perfect for resting.
She opened her eyes and turned her head, spotting Sebastian sitting with his legs crossed, working on a laptop resting on his lap.
The moment she opened her eyes.
He looked up.
Closing his laptop, he checked the fluid level in her IV bag. "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Hungry? Do you want some water?"
Raelynn shook her head.
Staring at the ceiling light, she blinked hard and asked in a hoarse voice.
"What time is it?"
"Just before seven."
"Where's my mom?"
"She stayed with you all afternoon. She really needed to go back to take her medication, so Chloe took her home."
"Oh."
Raelynn nodded, feeling relieved.
She didn't say anything else.
Sebastian didn't bother her.
Raelynn's chest ached. She wanted to cry, but the tears just wouldn't fall. She turned over, facing away from him.
She knew very well.
Sebastian had orchestrated a lot of this.
Some things didn't need to be spelled out right now.
She closed her eyes, moisture finally gathering at the corners. For Lydia, for Rowan, for herself.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
If it were the past.
She might have wondered if he had feelings for her, if he wanted to reconcile.
But Sebastian had personally denied that.
He had zero romantic intentions.
That was what made this so illogical.
People always had motives for their actions, especially businessmen. They didn't do thankless tasks for free.
He was moving mountains to help her while simultaneously drawing a firm line between them.
Sebastian looked at her.
Raelynn eyed him suspiciously. "Is it out of guilt?"
But even if it was guilt, it was only because their feelings hadn't matched up. She had loved him desperately, and he had made it clear from the start he wouldn't love her back. His detachment had certainly hurt her deeply.
But after the divorce, he had given her more than enough financial compensation, and he hadn't even fought her for Lily's custody. If it was just about emotional debt, they were more than even.
She just couldn't figure out his true motive.

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!...
