"I'm sorry, but given the nature of your injury, you can't sign the consent forms yourself. We need a family member to be present and informed," the nurse said, her expression apologetic but firm.

Cheryl was my only real friend here in Aronespire, but she was currently studying abroad. Left with no other choice, I opened my contacts, pulled Laurent out of my block list, and dialed his number.

The hospital corridor was crowded, packed with people injured in the multi-car pileup.

  • Going Back to His First Love   Chapter 12 Extra Story

    Back in Aronespire, Laurent never expected that the day after he signed the divorce agreement, the proxy representative for the company's new second-largest shareholder would calmly walk into the Maddox Group headquarters.Laurent had never known that the third son of Dawnirabay's most prominent family was my brother. I had never uttered a word about my background.Mikael moved with ruthless efficiency, executing the division of every asset outlined in the settlement and sending the certified paperwork to the notary public.Only then did the reality finally crash down on Laurent: the divorce was serious.He didn't care about the billions or the property holdings in the slightest. He just lunged forward and grabbed Mikael by the arms, his voice tight. "Where is Debbie? Where did she go?""Get your hands off me!" Mikael snapped, shoving him back with disgust. "Who are you to ask? What right do you have to know anything about her?""Where is Debbie?" Laurent persisted, never feeling

    Why had I been so foolish back then? Why did I run off to Aronespire for college, only to waste years loving someone incapable of loving me back?My sudden breakdown caught my parents and brothers off guard. Distraught, my mother wrapped her arms tightly around me, letting out a heavy sigh.Now that I'd told the secret locked in my heart for so long, the heavy weight was finally lifted from my chest.Once he heard about the divorce, Elton pulled every string he had to secure the most formidable lawyer in Dawnirabay.Without wasting a moment, the lawyer filed a formal court petition, citing the irretrievable breakdown of our marriage.The process moved astonishingly fast. Within a week, the lawyer had slapped Laurent with a court-issued enforcement notice, demanding his signature on the divorce settlement.Laurent called me the second he got the notice. I had unblocked him during that hospital emergency and forgotten to put him back on the blacklist."It's been two weeks," he gro

    Honestly, that was the least of my concerns right now. I just wanted to escape this city and go to my hometown.I stared at Hunter, unyielding. The message in my eyes was simple: "Do exactly what I say."My flight was scheduled for nine o'clock tonight. If we left immediately, I could still make it.Hunter glared back at me for a long, tense moment before waving his hand in exasperated defeat. He stepped forward and gripped my arm to steady me. "Fine. I'll take you there right now."I looked absurd—hobbling on one leg with a crutch in one hand, while my other hand protectively shielded my belly.Hunter didn't say a word during the entire drive to the airport. Neither of us broke the silence until I had finished checking in at the counter.He looked down at me with a rare, complicated expression, his eyes flickering uncomfortably toward my midsection. "You're pregnant, and you're still leaving? Are you... planning on ever coming back?"It was probably the first time he had ever s

Left with no other choice, I opened my contacts, pulled Laurent out of my block list, and dialed his number.The hospital corridor was crowded, packed with people injured in the multi-car pileup.The moment the call connected, I asked flatly, "Where are you?"Before the words had even fully left my mouth, my gaze drifted down the hallway. There, at the far end of the corridor, I spotted Laurent holding his phone to his ear.Serena was standing right beside him. His eyes were fixed on a doctor wrapping layers of gauze around Serena's finger."At the office," he replied without a second thought. "I have a meeting to get to. If it's nothing urgent, I'm going to hang up."He paused for a beat, then ad

    The Maddox family didn't care about my background at all. They simply arranged for us to get the marriage certificate, and Laurent never once asked about my life before him.After we tied the knot, his attitude was freezing. He hated having servants in the house, so I transformed myself from a kitchen novice into a master chef, cooking his meals and managing his household day after day just to earn a shred of warmth.Yet, I never fully trusted him. I bombarded him with daily texts and called to check on his whereabouts whenever I felt insecure. Every time he ignored me, I would threaten divorce, hoping he would coax me to stay.He never did. I would always swallow my pride and crawl back to him. I had been such a lovesick fool, genuinely believing time would spark love.But Serena's return shattered that delusion. I finally realized his coldness wasn't a personality trait; he simply didn't like me.Aronespire held nothing but heartbreak for me now. My plan was simple: finalize the

    Just as I had imagined, Laurent's lips were perfect for kissing. That was my first kiss—a clumsy, desperate ambush in a pitch-black room.Somehow, I managed to pin him down, overriding all his attempts to resist. I had no idea where I found that kind of strength, especially since Laurent was always the stronger one after we got married.I breached his defenses, fumbling and inexperienced, pressing closer until I had to cling to his shoulders just to stay upright. By the time I finally pushed him away, I was exhausted and burning up."It's too hot," I slurred, my clothes half-undone. "Take yours off, too."The heat radiating off him made me break out in a sweat. Losing no time, I began running my hands over his chest.Right then, the lounge door was wrenched open. The overhead lights flicked on, blinding me and snapping me back to reality."Debbie Hammond, you really have no shame!" Hunter roared, throwing a suit jacket at me.My eyes flew open. The doorway was packed with guests
