The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 2

Instantly, a wave of physical revulsion churned in her stomach.

Alaina couldn't tell exactly where the pain was coming from, gasping for air as she gripped her forearm.

That day, she had suffered from severe stomach cramps and passed out in her office without even realizing it.

When she woke up, she was in the gastroenterology department receiving an IV drip, her forearm bandaged from a cut she sustained when she collapsed.

The nurse mentioned they couldn't find any emergency contacts in her file and asked her to call a family member to accompany her for a scheduled endoscopy.

She had called Ethan.

He promised to be there right away, yet even long after she walked out of the endoscopy room, he never showed up.

She sat outside the room, the anesthesia still wearing off, but her mind had never been clearer.

When she got home, Ethan apologized with absolute sincerity.

If it hadn't been for the trending gossip article popping up on her phone, showing Ethan accompanying Lily to a therapy clinic, she almost would have believed he genuinely had an emergency.

Of course. In Ethan's mind, Lily's needs were always the top priority.

And Alaina was permanently pushed to the bottom of the list.

Seeing the article, Ethan casually brushed it off. "Lily isn't as strong or independent as you are. You're my wife. Don't stoop to bickering with a patient."

She had almost burst into laughter right then and there. Only one thought echoed in her mind: it was time to end this.

Pulling her thoughts back to the present, she cast one last glance at the intimate pair and walked calmly toward the office, her heart entirely numb.

"Dr. Rossi sure knows how to make people wait," the director snapped as soon as she walked in.

Alaina didn't reply. Having been placed in this job through connections years ago, she was more than used to the snide remarks.

The director rolled his eyes and hurried her along. "Stop dawdling and get to the VIP room. The CEO's girlfriend specifically asked for you."

With a composed expression, she handed over her resignation letter. "Thank you, Director, and everyone else for all your support."

The director stared at the envelope, completely stunned, while she left her staff badge on the desk and walked out without looking back.

As she entered the main lobby, the large screen was broadcasting news from a few days ago, showing Ethan at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Harrington Wellness Center.
