Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 518

Inside the clinic

Dr. Lee was just about to grab lunch when Isabel walked in, looking completely lost. Dr. Lee immediately closed the door behind her and hurried over, worry etched across her face.

“Ms. Summer, what’s wrong?” she asked softly.

Isabel looked like she’d seen a ghost. Her face was pale, lips colorless.

“Dr. Lee...” Isabel’s voice was barely steady, trembling as she spoke. “I… I just heard something.”

She gripped the arm of the chair like she needed it to stay standing.

“My boyfriend… he has a twin brother.”

“In his family, twins are supposed to be a bad omen. They believe that one of them is doomed—one always dies.”

“But his twin brother is still alive. He’s totally fine.”

She suddenly looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks. Panic and heartbreak filled her eyes.

“Doctor, please… just tell me. Does this mean my boyfriend… is he already gone?”

Dr. Lee placed a gentle hand on Isabel’s shoulder, her voice warm and calm.

“Ms. Summer, try to breathe. That’s just an old superstition. There’s no real science behind it.”

“Your boyfriend is still here, isn’t he? You’ve told me all about how much he loves you. Someone who loves you that much wouldn’t just leave.”

“Let’s just take a moment, okay? Let’s trust what we know.”

Dr. Lee’s words were soft and steady, almost hypnotic, and bit by bit Isabel started to relax.

A few years back, when Jamie suddenly turned cold and distant, Isabel had spiraled into depression. After she tried and failed to get him back, and he sent her overseas, things only got worse. Her depression became severe, and those four years felt like an endless night.

Even when she finally clawed her way back to the surface, her mind found new ways to hurt her.

She built herself a beautiful lie: Jamie hadn’t really left. He was just angry, just punishing her for a while. He’d come back someday.

So when Mr. Nelson quietly told her, “Jamie is gone,” she couldn’t accept it.

No way. She refused to believe it.

Jamie wasn’t dead. He was just mad at her.

That had to be it. It had to.
