The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 5

Ethan strode over with Ms. Campbell, walking straight up to Lily.

"Why are you two together?"

Lily lifted one foot off the ground, pretending to lose her balance. "I'm here to get my bandages changed."

Ethan frowned and reached out to support her. "Why didn't you bring someone with you?"

Lily wrinkled her nose. "You worry too much. I told you I can handle it myself."

She then made a show of lightly pushing him toward Alaina. "Don't worry about me. Alaina doesn't look well. She clearly needs you more."

After saying that, she limped forward and nearly tripped over her own feet.

Looking slightly annoyed, Ethan quickly caught her. He turned his head to Alaina and said, "I'm taking Lily to the consultation room."

Lily naturally wrapped her arms around Ethan's waist, throwing a provocative smirk at Alaina. "You don't mind, do you?"

Alaina genuinely lacked the energy to care. Her stomach hurt so badly that her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ethan finally realized something was wrong. He let go of Lily and walked over, grasping Alaina's shoulders. "Is it your stomach again?" he asked softly.

She bit her lip and shook her head, motioning for him to leave.

Pushing his frustration aside, Ethan forcefully took her hand and began massaging the pressure point between her thumb and index finger. Staring intently at her increasingly pale face, his brows knitted together in deep concern.

Lily's gaze sharpened, and she coldly spoke up. "Ethan, I really need to get my dressing changed."

She swayed again, letting out a low groan of pain. "I must have walked too much. It's starting to hurt even worse."

Hearing that, Ethan visibly tensed. He dropped Alaina's hand and instructed the secretary beside him. "Stay here with my wife."

"Right away, Boss," Ms. Campbell quickly moved to Alaina's side.

"This is a chronic issue for you, so me staying won't magically fix it. Find a place to sit down and rest. I'll be right back," Ethan told her gently.

She offered a dismissive nod, praying he would just vanish from her sight.

Watching them walk away, Alaina leaned against the wall and let out a cold, involuntary laugh.

It felt like watching a terrible play where she had memorized all the lines. It was just exhaustingly boring.

The idea of waiting for someone felt like a pathetic joke now.

She didn't have the time to wait, and she wouldn't do it anymore.
