The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 3

Ethan strode over, anxiously grabbing her wrist. "Lily sprained her ankle. She's been waiting for you."

She stood her ground, pulling her hand free and shoving it into her pocket. "If she sprained her ankle, take the elevator to the third floor for Orthopedics," she replied coldly.-

Ethan froze for a few seconds, the chill returning to his eyes.

Alaina remained entirely indifferent. Before he could speak again, she rolled up her sleeve to reveal the bandage wrapped around her forearm.

"When did you get hurt? Why didn't you tell me?" Ethan frowned, reaching out to gently inspect it.

Alaina quietly rolled her sleeve back down, smoothly swatting his fingers away before they could touch her shoulder. "I signed the divorce papers and left them in the study," she said icily. "Take a good look at them when you get home tonight."

Ethan's jaw tightened, and he awkwardly pulled his hand back.

He let out a soft sigh, trying to keep his temper in check. "Lily's illness is my fault. We grew up together, and I can't just ignore her. I promise you, once this rough patch is over, everything will go back to normal."

Alaina showed zero emotional reaction. "Ethan, save your breath. All I need from you is a signature."

Ethan stared unblinkingly at her, his shoulders trembling slightly as he fought back his fury.

"You know damn well I won't do it," he said, lowering his voice. He hesitated for a long moment before summarizing his frustration in one sentence. "Forget it. You're being completely unreasonable."

Hearing that, Alaina's stomach churned violently, making her feel so nauseous she almost threw up.

Fighting through the discomfort, she said, "We'll talk when you've calmed down."

Ethan stood in silence.

Not wanting to waste another word, Alaina turned and walked away without looking back.

She took a cab to Logan Foster's house. Her upset stomach finally settled a bit, and for the first time in a while, she felt a sense of relief.

Logan was her childhood best friend and currently an attending physician in the gastroenterology department at Harrington Memorial.

Knowing she was coming, Logan had rushed to swap shifts with a colleague, cleaned up the guest room, and cooked a massive spread to welcome her.

As soon as she walked in, Logan gave her a huge hug. "Welcome home."

The last time she fainted from stomach pain, it had scared Logan half to death.
