Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 478

Aurora glanced at the IV stand–there were still two or three more bags to go.

Letting her assistant wait through all that wasn’t right; it would completely disrupt his rest.

“Go home. That’s an order. I’ll be fine on my own. I’m planning to get some sleep anyway. If anything comes up, I’ll call the nurse.”

Hearing that, Ian couldn’t insist any further.

One look at the seriousness on Aurora’s face, and he knew she meant it.”

“Alright then, Miss Walton. I’ll come by first thing tomorrow morning.”

Aurora nodded, agreeing at last.

She knew if she didn’t, he would likely stay the whole night.

She understood her people well, especially the kind of person he was.

After he left, the hospital room fell into a heavy silence, leaving Aurora completely alone.

She stared blankly at the television mounted on the white wall.

Time passed without her noticing.

The vibrant glow that usually lit up her features was gone now, leaving behind only weariness and fatigue.

She picked up her phone and checked her call log.

Lucas hadn’t called.

What happened? Why was his phone turned off?

Did something go wrong?

Her thoughts spiraled with one question after another.

Absentmindedly, she began scrolling through her feed, until her eyes caught on a particular post and her focus snapped back to

the screen.

It was a simple post–four photos of food at dinner.

But the man in the photos… the face was unmistakable.

If that wasn’t Lucas, who else could it be?

What stung more was who had posted it –Wendy.

The caption read: “I want to have many, many meals with someof important!

Aurora’s long lashes trembled

Her lips pressed into a tight line as she tapped on the post to see the timestamp

so, the reason he did answer her cell and turned off his phone by me he was having dinner with tast

So, she sent another message:

“Who are you having dinner with? I want a proper explanation.”

After that, she powered off her phone. She wasn’t going to keep staring at the screen. She would wait and see how Lucas planned to explain this.

But both messages disappeared into silence–no reply and acknowledgment.

His phone was still in Wendy’s possession, still turned off.

She was happily helping herself to the dishes, piling food onto Lucas‘ plate like nothing was wrong.

At first, Lucas kept telling her not to, insisting they eat separately.

But Wendy, thick–skinned as ever, didn’t care.

She continued doing what she thought was right, completely

unfazed.

After the fifth or sixth time, Lucas gave up arguing altogether. H

e simply ignored her. Whatever she placed on his plate, he left untouched.

All he wanted now was to quickly get this dinner over with. He had no interest in dragging it out any longer.
