She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 148

Solomon gave a dry laugh. "Well... there's no need to be so polite between husband and wife, is there? It was the least he could do."

"Actually, I wanted to point this out earlier, but it wasn't appropriate with someone else in the room."

Her expression was dead serious. "We've already filed the paperwork, and the mandated separation period will be over in a few days. For all intents and purposes, we are practically no longer husband and wife."

Shera's lips curved into a polite, yet profoundly distant smile. "So please, Mr. Spencer, stop calling me Mrs. Hayes, and stop talking about us as husband and wife."

Solomon froze. Staring at Shera's dignified yet firm warning, he slowly nodded.

Clearly, the situation was exactly as disastrous as he had predicted.

"Actually, Caden's been in a terrible state these past few days. Your accident terrified him. He's been relentlessly investigating, barely eating or sleeping."

"You know he has stomach issues. Last night, he suffered an acute gastric bleed."

Shera paused slightly at the news, but her expression quickly returned to normal. "The Hayes family has private doctors. I'm sure they can handle something this minor."

"As for this incident, if Mr. Hayes is worried it might negatively impact him, the family, or Hayes Group, I'm more than willing to step forward and cooperate with PR."

"Consider it repaying my debt to him."

A flash of shock flickered through Solomon's eyes.

*Mr. Hayes...*

*Repaying a debt...*

*Ouch.* This deliberate, clean severance left Solomon entirely at a loss for words.

He instinctively scrambled to defend Caden. "Caden isn't doing this because he's afraid of bad PR."

"He's desperate to find the truth because he's terrified someone will hurt you again."

Solomon looked at Shera, deadly serious. "He is genuinely worried about you."

"The night of your crash, he literally ditched his business partners and rushed over here, staying up all night guarding you. And Grant Technologies is Hayes Group's biggest potential project of the year."

"In his heart, you are vastly more important than his work."

Shera leaned against the pillows, her face devoid of any emotion, listening with the detached apathy of someone hearing a story about a stranger.

Seeing her reaction, Solomon couldn't help but sigh.
