The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 436

Jillian declined the call several times, but he remained relentlessly persistent.

Exasperated, Jillian genuinely considered blocking him. Ultimately, she shot back a few brief replies, stating that she was hospitalized and unable to chat.

On her second day in the hospital, Mallory Vaughn and Leon Quincy came to visit.

The second Mallory walked through the door, she started complaining. "You're unbelievable! How could you keep something as massive as surgery a secret? If Mr. Langley hadn't told me, I never would've known."

"It was just a minor procedure. I'm getting discharged tomorrow. I didn't want you guys worrying," Jillian said with a helpless smile.

"A minor surgery is still a surgery! Do you even consider me a friend?"

Jillian offered an awkward, apologetic smile.

The real reason she hadn't given them a heads-up was because she had spent the previous few days staying at The Yale Residences.

She hadn't wanted her friends to find out, terrified they would get the wrong idea.

Leon had brought her an assortment of nutritional supplements, warmly encouraging her to focus on resting up.

The room was filled with chatter and laughter, the atmosphere lively and warm.

Right in the middle of their casual conversation, the hospital room door swung open.

Bash walked in, fully decked out in a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses.

Seeing a room full of people, he faltered slightly.

Mallory and Leon exchanged a look of pure confusion, completely failing to recognize him.

Mallory spoke up first. "Who are you? You definitely have the wrong room."

Bash instantly locked eyes on Jillian in the hospital bed. He rushed forward, grabbing her hand. "How are you? Did the surgery hurt? Are you in any pain right now?"

Everyone in the room exchanged bewildered glances, the lively atmosphere immediately dying down.

Judith looked especially lost, having zero idea who this young man was.

Mortified, Jillian discreetly yanked her hand back and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
