My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: "Don’t you care about me anymore?"

Alicia’s POV

I finished work early and decided to head home sooner than usual.

While standing in the elevator, a news notification suddenly popped up on my phone.

"Two individuals were attacked by unknown assailants on Bellmont Street earlier today and are currently receiving treatment at City Hospital."

I frowned.

At first, I almost ignored it and locked my phone, but curiosity got the better of me.

After a brief hesitation, I tapped on the notification.

The video attached to the article had clearly been filmed by a passerby.

The footage was shaky and blurred from the rain, making it difficult to see clearly. I could hear heavy raindrops hitting the person’s phone as several medical staff hurriedly lifted an injured person from the ground and pushed them into an ambulance.

Something about the man in the video felt familiar.

I narrowed my eyes and dragged the timeline forward.

For a brief second, the camera caught the side profile of a man standing beside the stretcher.

Alexander.

My fingers froze.

I quickly paused the video, but I was a second too late. The frame stopped on the injured person lying on the stretcher.

It was a woman.

She was dressed in black, one pale arm exposed beneath the rain.

Just as I was about to press play again, something suddenly caught my attention.

Her wrist.

I stared at it carefully.

Even through the blurry footage, I could still see the faint blue shimmer beneath the rainlight.

A bracelet.

The same blue bracelet Alexander had once bought for me—

Only to later give to Lilian.

A cold feeling slowly crept up my spine.

The woman on the stretcher...

Was Lilian.

And the black coat draped over her body looked suspiciously like the one Alexander often wore.

Which meant—

The man beside her really was Alexander.

A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corner of my lips.

A few days ago, he had kept insisting he would send Lilian abroad.

Yet now?

He couldn’t even bear to let her out of his sight.

Then what was the point of dragging out the divorce?

Why not just let me go and be with the person he truly wanted?

The elevator doors slid open with a soft ding.

I turned off my phone and stepped out.

Ever since Alexander returned two days ago, I had started driving myself to work again, so it didn’t matter whether Jim was around or not.

Gripping my bag tighter, I walked toward my car alone.

<<<<>>>>>

When I returned home, only Maria was there, which confirmed my suspicions.

My appetite had improved a lot recently, and by the time I got home, I was starving. Seeing that Maria had already prepared dinner, I ate quietly before heading upstairs to shower.

Warm water streamed down my body, but my thoughts remained restless.

Just then, a knock sounded on the bedroom door.

"Ma’am?" Maria called from outside. "Mr. Alexander is looking for you." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

My brows furrowed.

Wasn’t he supposed to be at the hospital?

"Ma’am, can you hear me?" Maria asked again, her voice sounding slightly panicked.

"Okay, Maria. I’m coming."

After finishing my shower, I changed into my pajamas and walked toward the guest room Alexander had been staying in lately.

I supposed it was his way of giving me space.

Even though most of his belongings were still in the master bedroom.

When I reached the door, I noticed it was slightly open.

Before I could knock, Alexander’s low voice drifted out from inside.
