Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 13. Attempted Murder
Hearing the loud, disruptive voice that barged into the room, Alex remained unfazed and calmly used one of the pillows to cover his ears before muttering "Shut the hell up! This is a hospital, and you're being obnoxiously loud!""For someone who injured a nurse, you have no right to lecture me on hospital etiquette!" Matt, with his chiseled jaw and intense brown eyes, shot Alex a stern look as he entered the room. His dark hair, slightly tousled, added to his rugged charm. He dropped himself heavily onto the couch, his sleeves rolled up to reveal intricate tattoos that snaked down his forearms.He had just arrived at the hospital a few minutes ago and he overheard a few of the nurses talking about an aggressive patient in the hospital who pursued his attending nurses from his room and threw a mug at one. Matt had laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, thinking the patient might be mentally unstable.Only to end up finding out that this patient was none other than Alex.Matthew Carson

After conversing for hours, Nick and Matt finally left, leaving Alex in the room, gazing blankly at the ceiling. He looked down at the IV connected to his hand and recalled the brief touch of Sophia's hand on his skin.A brief sigh escaped his lips, realizing how he couldn't stay a moment without thinking about her. It's been years, he is happy to see her, and he couldn't wait to meet the twins also.Even at the thoughts of this; guilt and regret were heavily buried inside his heart.Yes, he was and still is a jerk for not remembering the night he slept with her. Although, he still recalls the night he went home heavily drunk. But what happened after was hazy in his memory. Alex's attention was drawn to the door when he heard a gentle knock."Come in."The door was slowly opened from outside and a young lady peeked her head in, her eyes lighting up when she saw Alex."Alex!" she squealed before fully stepping into the room. "I was so scared when I heard about what happened, how are y

"I've mentioned it countless times and I'll keep on saying it, Dr. Smith. If you ever have a problem or an issue to solve, do tell me. In as much as it's something I can do or get my hands on. I will," The CEO said immediately after Sophia sat down. He leaned forward, his eyes revealing a mixture of concern and curiosity.Unlike what she had expected, he appeared calm and wasn't scolding her about the incident from earlier."Of course, I know, sir," she responded with a smile and a nod."Then about earlier. What happened? Are you sure you are okay, and how are Aiden and Adeline? Are they okay?" This isn't the first time the CEO is showing so much worry about her.It had always been like this ever since she saved Mrs. Johnson from the brink of death. He cared for her much like a father would do to his daughter. As much as it wouldn't have been needed, Sophia could say that Mr. Johnson, the CEO, has over the past months clouded the space of a father that she yearned for.Mr. Johnson is a

Sophia's fear was unmistakable, a chilling grip on her racing heart as she clung to the couch for support. The discomfort in her abdomen seemed to grow more intense with each passing second, a stark reminder of a painful incident from years past.Just recently, she found out their lives might not be as safe as she had always expected, and now this-"It's been three hours," she murmured, her voice quivering with anxiety. "Three hours. Anything could happen in three hours. In three hours— my babies" Her thoughts were spiraling out of control, and emotions becoming increasingly difficult to rein in."I'm sure they'll be okay. Let's try to stay positive," Olivia tried to reassure, although her fears gnawed at her. Sophia was usually composed, but when it came to her children, her composure crumbled and her thoughts became muddled up that it was hard to stay sane.In her rush, Sophia clutched her phone with trembling hands, its cool surface providing little reassurance. As she paced aroun

Sophia's heart sank, and she muttered inwardly, "No, I can't let him meet the twins now." Beads of sweat began to form, tracing a glistening path down her forehead and neck.Clutching the crumpled paper in her hands, Sophia fought to conceal her anger and carefully unfolded the letter. Her gaze was drawn to their wedding picture frame, a stark contrast to her present emotional turmoil.In the photograph, she radiated happiness – the smile of a woman marrying the soul that had resided in her heart for years.Sophia's arms were draped affectionately across Alex's shoulders as they faced each other. But as her eyes lingered on the image, she noticed the difference in their expressions. While her face beamed with love and joy, Alex wore a plain, detached look, his hands resting at his sides rather than around her.How had she missed the undercurrent of his displeasure on their wedding day? Perhaps she had been too wrapped up in her happiness to realize that he wasn't thinking of her the w

They were preparing to head to the hospital after hearing about Alex's admission, something she had only learned a few hours ago.She sat in silence, thinking about how to inform Sophia of their plan to go to the hospital, especially considering Alex's family was already on their way there.At that moment, a man descended the stairs, exuding an air of authority as he moved with a sense of importance."I called William, and he said they are already heading to the hospital.

Sophia's heart clenched with uncertainty as she faced Adeline's question. Her emotions had run wild in the presence of her children.To regain composure, she took a deep breath and knelt before Adeline. "Of course not," she reassured, forcing a smile. "Mommy and Mr. Carter, we...well, we have some unresolved matters," she explained.Adeline, her brow furrowing, voiced her confusion. "Hm?" Adeline's nose itched, making her scrunch it a little "But... But what unresolved matters can't be settled?" She didn't stop there "And also why do you call him Mr. Carter?" She looked down at her shoes briefly, then up at her mother with a puzzled expression. "My friends' parents use sweet names for each other, but you call Daddy Mr. Carter?"Sophia struggled to find the right words to guide her daughter without scolding her. The air grew heavy with unspoken thoughts. She glanced at Finn, who seemed conflicted.Amid the crowd, Finn remained lost in thought, his fingers nervously tracing the edges o

Upon entering the hospital, Sharon felt a growing unease, uncertain about how to handle the situation. She desired for her husband to finally meet Sophia after all these years, but she doubted whether the timing was right, and she questioned whether her husband was ready. A few months ago, she had attempted to broach the topic of Sophia, but he had silenced her. As they both approached the receptionist, they were eventually directed to the elevator designated for family and patients, which remained eerily silent with just the two of them inside.After much contemplation, Sharon decided it was best to voice her thoughts, in case her husband would meet Sophia later. "Honey," she suddenly called out to him, Mr Smith tilted his head, facing his wife. "What Is it? Are you okay?" he asked, and she nodded. Sharon took a deep breath and ventured, "If, by chance, you were to meet our daughter someday, how would you react? It's been years, and all that happened is in the past, right? I'm

Sophia stood at the door to Alex’s room, contemplating whether to actually go inside and ask if he had a hand in everything being wiped out all of a sudden. She had a feeling it must have been him because there was no one else who could have done such a thing. She just wanted to confirm, Sophia reminded herself. It wasn’t like she had come up to his room for another reason; it was only to confirm if he had a hand in all the media outlets suddenly dropping the topic about the allegations. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. Knock. Knock. After a couple of minutes, no one answered. She couldn't hear any movement from inside, either. Frowning in confusion, she knocked once again but was only met with silence. Without another thought, she slowly pushed the door open, and as soon as she stepped inside, she was met with an empty room. Her brows creased, and she glanced over at the bathroom door. “Alex?” she called out after a moment, but no answer came. Wher

The hospital was buzzing with gossips and rumours, and in just a span of a little past 42 hours since the news was out, every single room in Greenwood hospital was talking about the same incident. Sophia couldn't simply act deaf to every single thing, but she was trying to. She had much more on her plate to be bothered about the rumors. “Good morning, Doc Soph!” She walked past a couple of nurses who were standing around together and whispering something to themselves, but as soon as they saw her, they simply spared her warm smiles and greeted her. “Good morning,” Choosing to ignore whatever they might have been saying, Sophia returned the smile and kept on walking. Her gaze dropped to her watch, and a frown curved up her brows when she noticed the time was already as late as 10 A.M. It was a very unusual time for her to come to work. But she couldn't help it; the director had urged her to stay back at home till the reporters trooping out of the hospital were sent away. D

Patricia let out a shaky breath, and she didn't realize when tears started streaming out of her eyes slowly. Sophia could clearly see through her distress, but they needed to get this done with, because she was just as determined to help Patricia. Right from the day she met her in the hospital, heavily pregnant with fear shimmering in her eyes. Patricia pressed her lips into a thin line, thinking it through thoroughly. She wanted a way out. She was tired of living in a family where her husband didn't care about her. Where her husband was just like a pawn to his mother. She wanted a better life for her daughters, a life where them being females aren't pointed out as a disappointment, a disadvantage, or even a flaw. She looked back up at Sophia, wiping the tears from her eyes. “I... I don’t even know where I’d go,” she admitted in a low voice. “I don’t have anyone else, no family, no friends. I don't have anyone,” her shoulders dropped, and her gaze lowered. Sophia’s expr

Sophia stepped out of the elevator, and she glanced around. Rather than make her way straight to the security office to confirm the footage Ariella had mentioned about, she came this way instead. She turned around the hall and stopped in front of a room, staring inside through the window. Her eyes squinted at the young mother who was standing by the window, with both of her babies cradled on each arm. A frown curved up Sophia's expression when she noticed Patricia was alone. Something that hardly happens, because her mother-in-law was usually there. With one glance around the hallway, she knocked slightly on the door, and when she didn't get a response, she was just about to open the door, but the footsteps approaching the door from inside made her stay still for a moment. Knock. Knock. She knocked on the door again and opened it slowly; at the same time, Patricia got to the door, and before Sophia could push it open, the young mother slammed it closed. Beyond shoc

Sophia walked down the hallway absentmindedly; she wasn't certain about what to think of anymore. And despite trying to shove all thoughts of Alex away, it proved difficult to. A tired sigh escaped from her lips, and she brushed her blonde, silky hair to the back with her fingers before making another turn and entering the elevator. Her gaze slid to the time on her wristwatch, and a frown curved her expression when she noticed something amiss. She turned rigid on the spot and looked up from her wristwatch when she realized she had forgotten her bag in his room. Pressing her lips into a thin line, she contemplated going back to get it, but she didn't want to go back to his room. At least not today anymore. She wasn't certain where they stood; after hearing all he said, she would be lying if she said the walls around her heart didn't shatter the slightest. He didn't submit the divorce papers, which meant… They were still legally married. Her throat tightened at the thought. Neith

Feeling suddenly suffocated on the tight space of the hospital room, Sophia breathed. She couldn't hold back anymore, she was full blown putting her emotions out. “We were married, but you hardly slept at home. And I was always alone at every moment, wondering how to make things better with you.” She choked out a sob and stiffened, immediately wiping the tears off her eyes. Why was she crying? She had already convinced herself to this point that she didn't care anymore and that she wouldn't be vulnerable in anyone's presence, and especially not his. But soon as the memories crashed into her head, she felt like her heart had been split into two, each part filled with nothing but pain. “I was young, naive, and in love with you, yet you tore me apart so much and left me all alone.” She turned fully to him, and Alex stared at her, just as ready to face all her words. She pointed at his chest, “We were married for one year. We had one year to get to know each other, and I

“You never what?” Sophia asked again, completely baffled as she stared deeply at Alex. She couldn't comprehend his words. What exactly did he mean by he never submitted the divorce papers? Why didn't he submit them? Why? Why! In her state of utter shock, she hadn't realized how close Alex had gotten to her. Alex’s gaze was on her, gauging through her reaction; she didn't seem pleased at all, and he wasn't certain how to feel about that. But there was a deep pang of hurt that seeped through his heart. “I never submitted them,” he repeated, feeling the air between them grow tenser than it had been earlier, “I couldn't,” he added. Sophia didn't say anything at all; she just stared at him. Her expression was just as conflicting as she was feeling. Shocked? Confused? her emotions were all over the place. Alex continued, “I wanted to take my words back, but I couldn't. I've been trapped with regret and guilt ever since that night. I shouldn't have treated you that w

Alex's gaze snapped to Sophia, his warm, pale green eyes widened subtly in surprise. He hadn’t expected her to remember that. Realization hit Sophia as his gaze burned through her. She bit her tongue lightly and immediately added, “Just like a lot of people out there are.” Alex swallowed; his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he tried to hold back the rush of emotions that her words stirred up inside him. “You remember?” His voice was low, almost as if he couldn’t believe it. Sophia didn't respond to that; instead, she quickly changed the topic, “You should eat your fruits. Your meal might be brought in anytime soon.” He didn't comply immediately; he kept his gaze on her and watched as Sophia walked over to the couch. Without another word, Alex nodded slowly and glanced at the plate of peeled fruits, his eyes pierced through the apples, and he released

Emily spared her a skeptical look; it looked like she wanted to say something, but decided not to when she felt the gazes on her. “I hope you stick to your words.“ She scowled. “I will.“ Sophia assured her with a tight smile. Without another word, Emily huffed a breath and walked to the door, stepping outside the room and not glancing back for once. The moment she left, silence filtered into the room. Sophia let out a deep sigh before turning around to find the three gazes on her. Aiden and Adeline were staring at her with worry, while Alex… His gaze was far too intense for her to comprehend. His expression was too deep to point out either. The only thing similar about the pairs of eyes
