The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 232

The photo was taken from a very deliberate angle, making it look as if Hunter were lovingly holding Madeline's hand. They looked happy.

Seraphina erupted in fury.

"York is in the middle of a life-threatening surgery! As his wife, she hasn't even bothered to visit him, yet she has time to parade around with another man? She doesn't deserve to be his wife!"

Blinded by anger, she completely missed the fact that Madeline was wearing a hospital gown, with a blood-stained bandage wrapped around her forehead.

Felicity could barely conceal her excitement.

She had plotted so long for this exact moment.

On Seraphina's strict orders, the lawyer arrived swiftly.

Feigning concern, Felicity whispered, "Seraphina, York loves Madeline so much. He would never agree to a divorce."

Seraphina's face was etched with stone-cold resolve as she stared at the glowing red light above the operating doors.

When York had first returned, she harbored hopes that their marriage could be salvaged. But seeing them tear each other apart convinced her she had to intervene.

"York is in a coma. As his mother, I have the authority to manage his affairs."

"Mr. Carmichael, process the divorce on York's behalf. I only have one condition: give Madeline whatever financial compensation she wants, but the marriage must end."

Not long after Mr. Carmichael departed, the surgical lights flicked off.

York was wheeled out and immediately transferred to the ICU.

Seeing her son unconscious and pale, Seraphina nearly fainted from her tears.

The doctor approached her with a grave expression.

"It's fortunate he was brought in when he was, or we would have lost him. However, his body has endured too much trauma recently. If he doesn't rest and recover properly, he'll suffer permanent complications."

Seraphina's heart twisted. She lowered her voice and instructed Felicity, "Tell the lawyer to finalize the divorce discreetly. Do not breathe a word of this to York."

This time, she was genuinely terrified of losing him.

For three agonizing days, York showed no signs of waking in the ICU.

Seraphina practically lived in the waiting room, her stress manifesting in newly silvered hair.
