Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381 Still Friends

“I want to see Sebastian. There are some things I want to say to him in person,” Riley said.

“Alright, I will convey that.”

“And also…” Riley’s voice paused. “How are his injuries…?”

“They’re okay, not too serious. Just superficial wounds, plus a bit more blood loss than ideal, so he needs quiet rest to recover,” Felix replied.

“Then… let him rest well. After I’m discharged, I’ll come to see him,” Riley finished, ended the call, and returned the phone to Samuel.

Samuel took the phone. “What exactly is going on between you and Sebastian? Are you really broken up?”

“We are broken up, but I’ve just realized I want to get back together with him,” Riley said.

When she was facing life and death, the person she thought of was Sebastian. When he rushed without regard for his own safety to shield her from danger, her heart ached for him. And even when escaping, facing the possibility of dying together, she still didn’t regret it.

When Riley woke up in the hospital again later, besides seeing Samuel, she also saw Vince.

“You’re awake. I heard you woke up once before.” Vince stepped forward. “If I’d known something like this would happen, I should have gone with you. Even if it was the Torres family banquet, I should have been there!”

Not just finding out she was in danger after the fact.

When he rushed to the hospital, he only saw her lying there

unconscious.

In that moment, his body trembled, and all the blood in his

veins seemed to freeze.

Even though he had seen her injured before, seen her struggling on the brink of death, that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid.

Vince reached out, unable to resist wanting to touch Riley’s still–pale face, to confirm she was really alive.

Just as his hand was about to touch her, she slightly turned her head away, avoiding his hand.

Vince’s expression stiffened.

“Alright, I’ll go out and get some food then,” Samuel said, then walked out of the room.

In the room, only Vince and Riley remained.

But it was Vince who spoke first. “Are you choosing Sebastian?”

Riley looked up sharply at Vince.

“How did you…”

Vince gave a bitter smile. “Isn’t that what you wanted to tell

me?”

Riley hesitated, then said, “Yes. I want to reconcile with

Sebastian.”

Vince fell silent. Although he had already guessed, hearing her say it still made his heart ache.

After the fire started, before the firefighters even arrived, Sebastian rushed into the fire without hesitation to find Riley. And when they came out, Sebastian was covered in injuries. Knowing all this, Vince had already had this suspicion.

Facing life and death, people can more easily discern their true feelings.

It was completely different from the way she looked at Sebastian.

So, in her eyes, Vince could only ever be a comrade, a friend, but never her lover.

“Is there… really no chance for me at all?” Vince asked one last time, unwilling to give up.

If he didn’t ask at all, he wouldn’t be able to accept it.

“Vince, the one I love is Sebastian. You will definitely meet someone you love who also loves you the same,” Riley said.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Vince’s eyes, doubting if there really would be such a person.

People say that when you’re young, you shouldn’t meet someone too remarkable. If you don’t end up with them, they just become something you can’t forget for the rest of your life.

“If I had confessed to you back in the military, told you how much I loved you, would we have had a chance then?” He looked at her with a kind of longing, hoping for even just some comforting reply.

“I don’t know. There aren’t that many ‘ifs‘,” Riley replied seriously. “I’m sorry. I can’t return your feelings.”

Then, he smiled faintly, “So, we are still friends.”

Even though his heart was in pain right now, he didn’t want to add to her burden.

Since she loved Sebastian, he would quietly step aside and carefully put away his love for her.

From now on, he would only stay by her side as a friend.

Riley let out a sigh of relief and smiled, “Of course, still friends!”

After Vince walked out of the hospital, he looked at the blue sky and white clouds. Then he bought a pack of cigarettes at a convenience store outside the hospital, leaned against a tree, and smoked quietly, as if mourning that missed opportunity.
