Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 362

apter 362 Warmth and Distance

Sebastian’s eyes dropped to their joined hands–the warmth there, something he hadn’t felt in a long time, slowly seeping into his palm.

Yet Riley didn’t know that the warmer it felt, the more it fueled greed.

“My mother always loathed me. She wished I had never existed,” he said abruptly.

Riley halted her steps. “That’s not your fault. It’s your father’s. Both you and your mother were innocent.”

“Riley, I told you, if you can’t love me, then just hold back your sympathy. Don’t care for me so much.”

It only makes me start hoping again.

After a moment of silence, Riley said, “Alright, I understand.”

Having said that, Riley’s hand, which had been holding his, let

The warmth vanished abruptly. Instinctively, Sebastian reached out, wanting to grasp Riley’s hand, but finally withdrew his own.

hospital at that address.

The driver glanced at Sebastian.

Sebastian said flatly, “Do as she says.”

When Thomas saw Sebastian and Riley appear in his consultation room, he was a bit dumbfounded.

“Are you two back together?”

“No,” Sebastian said.

“Dr. Monroe, I’m just bringing Mr. Torres to you. I hope you can cure his insomnia,” Riley said.

“And in what capacity is Ms. Anderson making this request of me?” Thomas asked.

Riley replied, “He helped me. He protected my parents‘ dignity. Naturally, I wish him well.”

“But what if only you can cure his insomnia?” Thomas said.

Riley was taken aback. Before she could speak, Sebastian rebuked, “Enough, Thomas. She and I have no relationship anymore. Don’t drag her into this. The medicine you gave me before wasn’t effective. Just prescribe me a different one.”

At this rate, there will be no medicines left to switch to.

The root of Sebastian’s insomnia is psychological. He needs to resolve his own inner conflicts!

“Keep switching to new ones,” Sebastian commanded succinctly.

Thomas sighed, “Fine, I’ll do as you say.”

Riley couldn’t help asking, “That’s it? Aren’t you going to examine him carefully? He’s been taking medicine for quite a while now.”

“All the necessary examinations have been done. Sebastian’s body has a natural drug resistance. Medications have much less effect on him than on ordinary people,” Thomas said.

Riley thought back to when they were in Germany, having seen that Sebastian indeed took a considerable number of pills.

“Aren’t there any other auxiliary treatments besides

medication?”

Thomas glanced at Riley, knowing the best auxiliary treatment was for Riley to properly accompany Sebastian. That would be more effective than any medicine.

Sebastian pulled Riley aside. “Don’t care for me casually, and 3/5

“I just…” She opened her mouth, but her words were cut off before she could finish.

“Just what? Are you going to say you still love me, and that you regret breaking up with me, that you’re willing to get back together with me?” Sebastian gave a faint, derisive laugh.

Riley was speechless.

“So, Riley, if you don’t want to be entangled by someone like me again, save your sympathy!”

His voice felt like a massive stone, weighing heavily on Riley’s chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

That evening, seeing Riley sitting alone on the deck chair on the balcony, lost in thought, Lara walked over.

“What’s wrong? Was meeting Sebastian unpleasant? Did he force you to do anything bad?”

“No,” Riley murmured. “I just…”

“Can’t let him go?” Lara raised an eyebrow.

Riley pressed her lips together, not sure if she was really ready to let him go.

But scenes from the cemetery kept surfacing in her mind- 4/5 Sebastian’s words at his mother’s grave.

She couldn’t stop wondering what he’d been thinking when he said that if he bothered her again, she should kill him.

She clearly understood what Sebastian’s father had done to him.

She also understood that Sebastian despised his father and refused to become a man like him.

His father had gone crazy after his mother’s suicide.

And now, since I broke up with him, is he also afraid he might become like his father?

“Yeah, it seems I really can’t let him go,” Riley admitted honestly. “I could completely let go of Bryce, but I can’t seem. to let go of Sebastian.”

Lara said, “Because Sebastian truly loves you, unlike that scumbag Bryce! Sebastian has power and influence. He’s obsessive and proud. But after you broke up, aside from taking you to that island, he really hasn’t done anything to hurt you.”
