My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: I won’t be fooled again!

Ever since the accident, I had barely paid attention to her situation anymore.

"Sir," the man reported carefully, "Miss Lilian’s injuries worsened after the surgery. The doctor said recovery will take much longer than expected."

My expression remained indifferent.

During the accident Lilian caused herself, her face had been severely injured.

Fortunately, no one had died.

"Tell the doctors to do whatever is necessary," I said calmly. "If there are any issues, contact my assistant."

I paused briefly before adding coldly,

"I don’t want to be disturbed about her matters again."

Right now, Alicia’s condition was my only concern.

As long as Lilian remained in the country, she was nothing more than a hidden danger waiting to explode.

That was why I needed her under constant supervision until she recovered enough to leave permanently.

No matter what happened...

I couldn’t allow anyone to hurt Alicia again.

The room gradually fell silent after the call ended.

I lowered my gaze toward the open book in front of me, but my thoughts drifted elsewhere entirely.

Back in the bedroom, Alicia had asked me something simple.

When did you start loving me?

At the time, I couldn’t answer properly.

Maybe because even I hadn’t realized it myself until recently.

Or maybe...

I simply hadn’t understood my own feelings until I almost lost her.

But one thing had become painfully clear.

I had personally created the distance between us.

I was the one who pushed her away first.

The one who made her believe I would never love her.

So now, no matter what I said, Alicia probably wouldn’t believe me anymore.

And honestly...

I couldn’t blame her for it.

A bitter smile slowly appeared on my face.

Still...

I had already made a promise.

If words weren’t enough, then I would prove it to her through my actions.

Slowly.

No matter how long it took.

Alicia’s POV

The next morning, when I woke up, Alexander was already gone from the bedroom.

I reached for my phone and checked the time.

9:00 AM.

I blinked in surprise.

Lately, I had been sleeping far more than usual.

Even yesterday, I spent most of the day drifting in and out of sleep, yet somehow I still woke up exhausted every morning.

Slowly sitting up, I rubbed my temples lightly before remembering that Alexander had planned to take me to the hospital for another check-up today.

He was probably already waiting for me downstairs.

Carefully, I got out of bed.

Normally, Alexander insisted on carrying me everywhere—even helping me into the bathroom and preparing the bathwater himself.

But today, I decided to walk on my own.

It had been so long since I properly used my legs that the unfamiliar feeling almost made me laugh.

I carefully made my way into the bathroom, undressed, and took a quick shower.

A while later, after finishing, I wrapped a towel around my body and pushed the bathroom door open.

Only to freeze.

Alexander was standing right outside.

Startled, I instinctively stepped back.

He chuckled softly.

"It’s just me."

But almost immediately, his expression turned serious.

"Alicia," he said with a slight frown, "why didn’t you call for me?"

"You know it isn’t safe for you to walk around alone."

"It’s not a big deal," I replied casually. "I just wanted to move around a little."

"That’s still not okay."

The concern in his voice was obvious as he stepped closer, clearly intending to carry me again.

But I instinctively moved back.

Alexander paused in confusion.

"My towel is too small," I muttered awkwardly.

Only then did his gaze finally seem to register what I was wearing.

His eyes slowly traveled upward from my bare legs to my neck.

I noticed his Adam’s apple move slightly.

Heat immediately rushed to my face.

"I-I’ll just go get dressed first."

Under his intense gaze, I hurried past him toward the walk-in closet.

Behind me, Alexander let out another low chuckle, clearly amused by my reaction.

"Walk slowly," he reminded teasingly. "There’s no need to rush."
