She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 402

The woman he loved and his son were in the hospital room not far behind him, but Arthur could only walk in the opposite direction, and no one could share the pain of this helplessness.

Arthur did not know how he returned to the hotel. He just numbly kept walking forward, and only when he reached the hotel did he realize that the room was his and Lucia's, and there was a suitcase they both used together. Looking at the suitcase, Arthur was frozen in a daze. His mind had long been sinking in a sea of misery.

Sophie was the first to notice Arthur's strange appearance, because her room was next to hers. As if she had a feeling, she opened the door to look outside and found that Arthur's room door had been open, came to check in surprise and saw Arthur sitting in a daze on the edge of the bed.

"Arthur, why are you back? Where is Lucia?" Walking into the room, Sophie asked cautiously. She always felt that the Arthur in front of her was very out of place.

Arthur acted as if he hadn't heard and didn't respond.

Sophie raised her hand to cover the position of her chest. The first thing she could think was whether something happened to Theodore, so she rushed to Arthur and asked nervously.

"Arthur! Is something wrong with Teddy?"

Arthur finally responded, looked up at his mother with a blank stare, and replied indifferently.

"No, he's fine ..."

"Then you're ..." Hearing Arthur say that, Sophie didn't let up because her son's look was so odd, like ... it was like he had no soul.

"Mom, we're going back to New York tomorrow," Arthur said without thinking too much.

"Why do you want to go back?" Sophie asked patiently.

"Just go back." Arthur still spoke indifferently, but his eyes looked dazed, as if his words were not meaningful.

Sophie looked at Arthur like this and became even more worried. She reached out her hands and touched Arthur's face, so that his eyes met her own, and asked worriedly.

"Arthur, tell me what happened and why you look like that?"

His eyes slowly returned to normal with the loving eyes of his mother. The vulnerability instantly filled the entire pupils. Being startled by his change, Sophie saw Arthur close his eyes and lean towards her the next second.

Leaning into the warmth of his mother's arms, Arthur's voice trembled.

"Mom, Lucia and I broke up."

Her hands that were just about to hug her son's shoulders stopped visibly at those words, and Sophie's eyes widened instantly. She was barely able to react to what her son had told her.

"Arthur, what do you mean by that?" Sophie asked anxiously as she lowered her head to look at the top of Arthur's head.

"Lucia and I broke up ...," Arthur made what sounded like a whimper.

Hearing such a voice from Arthur, who had always been resolute, Sophie was heartbroken, held her son's face and made him look up at her, saying slowly,

"Arthur, take your time and tell me what happened."

His mother's gentleness had always been able to soothe him. Arthur settled down, and only then slowly told Sophie everything that had happened tonight, and when it came to Lucia's hatred of him, Arthur stopped several times and slowed down a few times before he finished telling the story intermittently.
