The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578

Vivian smiled. God was on her side.

Vivian found the journalist’s contact number on his page and immediately dialed it.

“Who is it? We’re very busy following up the Larson Group news and anything else can wait.”

The reporters were outside the hospital trying to get an interview with the Larson Group.

Vivian said, “I’m the woman in that viral video giving Lydia her baby back. I’d like to tell you exactly why Lydia’s baby was snatched.”

Meanwhile, the Larson Group building was still brightly lit up at midnight.

After the meeting, Brandon had gone back to his office alone without switching the lights on. He sat on his chair, in the dark. He didn’t get up again until the night sky outside the French windows faded to white.

At dawn, there was another tough battle to fight.

After Sean had taken her home, Natalie had waited on the sofa. Unable to keep her eyes open, she fell asleep; she woke up at around midnight, and then fell asleep again. The next time she opened her eyes, the sun was up in the sky outside the window.

She heard the door unlocking and ran over. Her head was full of questions, but as soon as she saw Brandon, she couldn’t bring herself to ask any of them.

Although his clothes all seemed clean and tidy, his bloodshot eyes and the five o’clock shadow gave away that he hadn’t slept all night.

The tension in his nerves didn’t let go until he saw that Natalie had obediently stayed at home like he asked. He put his hand to Natalie’s head and gently stroked her hair. “I need to sleep. But I can tell you that Lydia’s condition has been stabilized, and the baby is fine. Lydia needs to avoid anything that might distress her though, so the Larson Group board have decided not to let her attend any press conferences for the time being. Not in her condition.”

Maybe he really was tired, Natalie thought as Brandon took off his coat and went into the bedroom. He pulled back the covers and lay down on the bed without waiting for her to reply.

Natalie didn’t want to disturb him.

She sighed before tucking him in. Once he had closed his eyes she stood there a moment and quietly stared at his harmless-looking face.

How was it that he looked like a completely different person when he was asleep, compared with when he was awake?

As her fingers gently traced his tall nose in the air, she pondered on this.

Brandon, who had seemed sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into hers. Natalie snapped back her hand and said, “I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll go.”

As she got up from the bed to leave, Brandon stopped her and pulled her back. He said, in a sleepy drawl, “I’ve had Lydia moved to another hospital in secret, and told her to get a decent rest there. Don’t even think about sneaking out to see her while I’m asleep.”

“I won’t.” Looking guilty at being caught out, Natalie asked, “Is she really willing to accept the compensation?”
