The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 212

Pierce nodded. "Call me if you need anything. Even though we're divorced, I'm still Alora's father. I'll never abandon either of you."

Riley gave a noncommittal "Mhm."

Pierce finally left. He really did have a lot to deal with. The story of Riley saving a life had spread across the internet, along with the painful words she used to talk the jumper down. Because he stayed at the hospital to care for her last night, the scandal of him cheating during their marriage had been dragged back into the spotlight.

Though the backlash wasn't quite as massive as the first time, it was still causing significant damage to his company.

Arthur, Beatrice, and Scott had all been calling nonstop, urging him to return.

After being discharged, Riley headed back to The Grand Regency. She hadn't showered last night, and her body felt sticky and uncomfortable. Once home, Mrs. Gable helped her take a careful shower. After changing into clean clothes, she headed straight to the hospital for work.

When she arrived at her department, many of her colleagues came over to express their concern and ask about her injuries. Some looked at her with genuine admiration and kindness, while others shot her looks of doubt, pity, or even jealousy.

Riley returned the kind looks with a sincere smile and completely ignored the hostile ones.

Seeing Riley walk into the office, Holly stood up in surprise and hurried over to support her. "Why are you back at work today?"

Catching the genuine concern in Holly's eyes, Riley smiled faintly. "I'm fine, so I came in. You don't need to hold me, I'm not that fragile."

"Your face still looks a bit pale. Did the doctor really say you're okay?" Holly insisted on helping Riley to her desk before letting go.

"I promise, I'm fine. It'll just take some time to heal completely."

Seeing Holly being so attentive, Lila immediately sneered with dripping sarcasm. "Look at some people. The second they realize someone is a Senior Attending and the ex-wife of the Landon Enterprises CEO, they just can't wait to suck up to her."
