Chapter 140:
Jenessa was at a loss, unable to pinpoint what she longed for from Ryan. Despite witnessing Ryan’s deep affection for Maisie, she still found herself ensnared by his fleeting tenderness.
Taking a deep breath, she attempted to clear the clutter of her thoughts. It had become clear that she needed to divorce Ryan without delay.
Ryan had hurried to the hospital after receiving an urgent call. As he entered Maisie’s room, he saw her resting comfortably on the bed, seemingly unharmed.
“Maisie, are you okay?” he asked, his voice filled with concern.
The medical staff in the room averted their eyes, weighed down by guilt at his arrival.
Ryan’s brow furrowed in confusion.
“What’s going on? I was told over the phone that something bad had happened to you p>
Maisie’s voice was gentle as she hurried to reassure him.
“Ryan, please, don’t be angry. It was just a nightmare that frightened me. They called you because they thought I needed company. Please, don’t blame them p>

The staff exchanged worried glances, their anxiety palpable. They had only acted on Maisie’s instructions. Why was she now feigning ignorance and letting them bear the brunt of Ryan’s wrath?

“Ryan, please, let’s not be too harsh. They meant no harm, and it won’t happen again. As a patient, I do need family around. It’s perfectly reasonable for them to inform you when they think I’m in distress, right p>
While soothing Ryan, Maisie managed a smile toward the medical staff.
“I just had some tests, haven’t I? Please review the reports carefully, then go and get back to your duties p>
The medical staff acknowledged her instruction and promptly exited the room, leaving only Ryan and Maisie behind.
Ryan observed Maisie briefly, ensuring she was indeed alright, then spoke plainly.
“If there’s nothing else, I need to leave now. I have matters to attend to at the company p>
Just as he was about to walk out, Maisie called out in desperation, “Ryan, wait! I have something important to ask you p>
Ryan paused and turned to face her, his expression neutral.
“What is it p>
In that moment, Maisie sensed an unsettling change in Ryan’s demeanor, which puzzled her deeply.
“How is your divorce with Jenessa progressing?” she asked, her voice tinged with hope.
Seeing through her intentions, Ryan’s response came slowly.
“Maisie, is that the reason you had the medical staff trick me into coming here p>
