After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 461
Amid the heated argument, the hospital room door suddenly swung open, jolting Jacob awake from his unconscious state. “Emma!” His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been scraped with gravel. That one call froze Emma in place like a spell had been cast upon her. Jacob was really alive! Like a relentless leech, he just wouldn’t die! Her eyes locked onto the man lying in the hospital bed, burning with hatred. Why was he still alive? Why hadn’t he just died already? “Come here,” his voice was weak, barely audible. “Miss Xander, go on. Mr. Yates is calling you,” the nurse nudged her, eyes twinkling at the sight of such a handsome man and beautiful woman together. They made quite the striking pair. The nurse quickly adjusted Jacob’s IV, removed the needle, and hurried out, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her. The soft click of the door pulled Emma out of her spiraling emotions. She curled her lips into what should have been a smile, but the expressi

A sharp slap echoed through the hospital room. Emma had just struck Jacob across the face. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense! Justin loves me! I was his first love, I was the one who saved his life—he loves me!” Something in her own words triggered her deeply. She couldn’t accept it. She could lie to herself all she wanted, but she wouldn’t allow anyone else to say it out loud. Especially not Jacob.That slap snapped Jacob back to his senses. Emma had once carried his child. If she hadn’t made the decision to get rid of it, that child would have been the first great-grandchild of the Yates family—one that would have already been born by now. Why? Why did the great-grandson get a share of the inheritance, but not him, the actual grandson? His eyes darkened with madness. Without hesitation, right there in the hospital room, he forced himself on Emma. He would make sure she gave him another son. *Outside the operating room, when Zac returned with the medicatio

By the time Helen and Zac arrived outside the ICU, Justin was already standing by the window. He was motionless, staring inside like a statue—completely absorbed in the sight before him. Haley was still on a ventilator, her body covered in medical tubes due to excessive inhalation of toxic gas. Seeing this, Helen didn’t argue or make a fuss. Instead, she softened her steps and walked over with Zac. When would her sister finally be out of danger? No one knew how long they had been standing there when Wilfred arrived, his face weary from the rushed journey, his steps urgent. “You’re finally here!” The moment Helen saw Wilfred, she felt a wave of emotion rise in her chest. She wanted to cry again, but the thought that her sister had survived made her hold it in—crying now felt unlucky. Wilfred stepped forward and gently patted Helen’s head. “I’m here.” “Hi Wilfred,” Zac greeted as well. Wilfred nodded in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Justin remained frozen in pla

On the other end of the call, Richard and the two boys watched the video over and over again. “Uncle Richard… is Mommy really okay? She has so many tubes attached to her,” Alex asked, his brows furrowed in worry. The sight unsettled him. Chase, despite being more studious, didn’t know much about medicine either. Like his younger brother, he turned to Richard with questioning eyes. Richard reassured them, “Those tubes are just monitoring her vital signs. Right now, your mom’s heartbeat is stable. As long as she stays in that room for the next twenty-four hours without complications, she’ll be fine.” “Another twenty-four hours?” Alex looked up at his uncle with a pitiful expression. That reassurance didn’t feel all that reassuring. “Alright, stop overthinking it. Get some sleep now, and when you wake up, the twenty-four hours will almost be up, and you can go see your mom.” Richard scooped up both kids and carried them upstairs to their room. After tucking them into
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 1
In Merika State, the two of them lay close together on the hotel bed. As their passion grew, Justin Yates’s husky voice, filled with allure, murmured, “Em, how about having a child with me?”Caught up in the moment, Emily Yates replied without thinking. It wasn’t until they were lying together afterward that she remembered what he had said.“A child?” she repeated, a trace of intimacy lingering in her eyes.The look stirred Justin’s desire again. She was a constant temptation to him. Pushing those thoughts aside, he pulled out a ring and slipped it onto her left hand.“Are you proposing to me?” she asked.“Yes.”“Can I finally have your child now?” Justin asked, smiling. His eyes were warm, but there was no love in them, as if he were gazing past her, waiting for someone else’s answer.“I’ll give you plenty,” she replied, momentarily surprised. Proposing in bed wasn’t exactly romantic or formal, but she didn’t mind. She had waited three years for this moment, and it was worth it

Tears had fallen without her noticing, smudging the fresh makeup around her eyes. Emily glanced down at the diamond ring on her left hand, a sense of foreboding spreading through her. The sudden appearance of this woman might shatter the happiness she had been waiting for. She couldn’t just stand here. She had to know who this woman was. After a moment to gather herself, she headed back to the hotel.The plane flew from Merika State back to Haven State. At Lichfield Hospital, Emily stood at the door of a hospital room, arms crossed, trying to see inside through the window. Justin’s friend, Zac White, the director of Lichfield Hospital, along with other doctors, were examining the restless woman on the hospital bed. Two female nurses held her steady as they conducted their checks.On the plane, her face had already been cleaned, and she had been given fresh clothes.“Emma Xander? Hasn’t she... disappeared for the past four years?” Zac was shocked. Where had Justin found her?

In the hospital’s back garden, the spring night was still a bit chilly, and a cold wind stirred, adding a bite to the air. The flick of a lighter sounded, and two glowing points of light appeared as smoke drifted, blurring their vision.“So, Emma Xander’s back. What are you going to do?” Zac asked, breaking the silence. He didn’t mention Emily, but they both knew what he meant.One woman was the college sweetheart, the first love who had once saved Justin’s life. The other was the girlfriend who had been with him for three years, sharing his most intimate moments, and now, his fiancée.After a long pause, Justin replied, his voice cold and detached. “She was just a stand-in. She could never compare to Emma.”He went on, his tone utterly indifferent, as if he hadn’t been the one to propose to Emily in Merika State. “The role of Mrs. Yates will never be hers. It can only belong to Emma.”In a way, Emily had saved him the trouble of saying it himself when she had brought up their mar

Emily found the remote to turn on the lights, then looked for something handy to snuff out each candle one by one. Afterward, she retrieved her nightgown from the closet and headed for a shower. As she walked into the bathroom, she noticed the ring still on her left hand. She slipped it off and tossed it into the corner of her jewelry box. When she returned to the bedroom, she brushed all the rose petals off the bed and settled under the covers, pulling them over her head.She instinctively lay on the left side of the bed, where she was used to sleeping. Justin would always hold her close, gradually shifting over to the left with her until they were practically glued together. Now, the right side of the bed was glaringly empty. To fill the space, she scooted to the center, tossing the extra pillow onto the floor, finally feeling comfortable.She turned off the lights and went to sleep.Two days passed without any word from Justin. He was likely at the hospital with Emma or busy wi

“Hey, are you joking? The Yates family isn’t just rich—they’re filthy rich!” *Emma skimmed through the news, confirming that Jacob was dead. A satisfied smirk tugged at her lips as she turned to head back to the waiting area outside the operating room. So what if they didn’t want her there?She wanted to be there. She needed to see it—to witness Emily being covered with a white sheet. Slipping her phone back into her purse, she didn’t even glance at the comments under the video. There was no need. The report said, “One dead, two injured.” As far as she was concerned, the dead one was Jacob. After all, she had paid for both of these ‘accidents’ with her own money.She had barely walked a few steps when her phone rang again. “Hello?” “Is this Miss Xander? I’m a nurse from People's Hospital. A patient named Mr. Yates listed you as his emergency contact. He was in a car accident and has been admitted to our hospital. Would you be able to come in?”People’s Hospital

“What nonsense are you spouting now?” Zac scowled, his sharp gaze locked on Emma. What game was she playing this time? When had he ever said he wanted her gone because of Helen? Yes, he was telling her to leave, but for an entirely different reason than the one she had just implied. “If you and Helen can’t get along, then it’s best you leave,” Justin said, not wanting their constant bickering to disrupt Haley’s peace. Unbeknownst to them, the examination room door had silently swung open at some point. Justin stood there, observing them. It was unclear how much he had overheard. “Well, well! So Emma was trying to turn Justin against me just now,” Zac realized.“Justin, listen to me, I…” Zac hurried to explain, but halfway through, he realized that Justin was actually telling her to leave.Emma froze, her hand still pressed to her cheek where she had been wiping away nonexistent tears. What had he just said? He wanted her to leave? The tactic that had never fai

“She’s still not out? Don’t panic yet,” Richard reassured her. “I just rewatched the video carefully—her arms and legs are intact. She’s tough, Helen. She’s going to be fine. Just hang in there and wait.”It was rare for Richard to comfort her instead of bickering with her, but this time, he stepped up. “Aunt Helen, are you at the hospital? Have you seen Mom?” Alex and Chase tugged at Richard’s shirt, their little voices filled with urgency. Alex was on the verge of tears, while Chase, being the older brother, was holding his emotions in check but his reddened eyes gave him away. “Uncle Richard, let us talk to her!”“Stop messing around, both of you. Sit down and wait. I’ll tell you as soon as there’s any news.” Richard pried their hands off his shirt, which was dangerously close to being torn apart. His sister was still alive, but at this rate, his clothes wouldn’t make it through the night. “Call me the second you hear anything. I’ll be waiting.”Tonight, there wo

The hallway fell into an instant silence.Zac took one look at Justin’s injuries and said, “You need to get checked out. We’ll stay here and wait for her.”Justin was covered in sweat and grime, his clothes stained with blood, his back in even worse shape. Yet, he didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just stood there, refusing to leave until he saw Haley come out of that operating room. He needed to make sure she was okay. Seeing this, Zac grew anxious and tried to persuade him. “If Haley wakes up and sees you like this, she’ll be worried. Do you really think she’d want the man who saved her to be covered in wounds himself? Come on—”Before he could finish, Zac yelped. “Ow—ah!” It was Helen. Her hands had latched onto his waist, fingers digging into his side as she leaned in and hissed through gritted teeth, “My sister wouldn’t worry about him! Do you even hear yourself? If you don’t know what to say, just shut up! He got hurt? Good! He deserves it!”She might have kept h

Zac sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that yelling her name won’t make a difference right now. The nurse already said she’s in surgery.”The two had met up at her house. Tonight, Helen had canceled their date because she wanted to go to the airport to see her sister and nephews off. But after waiting at home for what felt like forever, Haley still hadn’t returned. The security team and the car that had transported her paintings had arrived a long time ago—yet there was no sign of her.Helen had been growing increasingly anxious when Richard suddenly came across a breaking news video online—footage of a car explosion. The moment they saw the images, they instantly recognized the two figures in the video: Haley and Justin. Helen panicked and was about to rush out the door when Zac called. He had seen the news too. Knowing she would be too emotional to think straight, he had driven straight to her place to pick her up.As soon as they arrived at the hospi
