Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 601

Gabriel placed his hands on Rebecca's shoulders and pulled her into a gentle hug.

No words were needed. Some questions simply didn't have easy answers, and sometimes silence was the kindest response.

Vance's situation wasn't optimistic. From Anna, Rebecca learned he had suffered internal organ rupture and multiple fractures in his lower body.

She hoped his injuries were no worse than the bodyguards'—just broken bones that would heal—nothing like the damage that had once affected her ability to walk

She wanted to visit him. Although he was in the ICU, the hospital still allowed visiting hours. The problem was that she was only his ex-wife.

That day, while heading to the hospital to see the two bodyguards, she worked up the courage to call Anna

“Would it be okay if I came with you during afternoon visiting hours to see Vance?”

“I-I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Okay, then L…” Rebecca felt a wave of awkwardness and didn’t push. As the ex-wife, she indeed shouldn’t show too much concern. She whispered, “I just feel really sorry.”

“Let’s wait until he’s better and out of the ICU. I’ll let you know then.”

“Alright.”

After the call ended, Rebecca stood holding her phone, unaware that Josette had walked up to her side.

“Becky…” Josette called gently.

Both young men were stunned. Having rarely tasted this kind of soup, they couldn’t stop once they started and finished an entire container each.

Josette smiled with relief, graciously looked at them, and asked worriedly if their wounds still hurt. The two strapping young men quickly shook their heads.

“If you like it, I’ll bring more tomorrow,” she said, feeling grateful for their protection.

The two bodyguards were deeply touched.

Rebecca and Josette stayed in each room for a while, then left. From the looks of it, both men were recovering well and would likely be discharged in a few days.
