Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 17. Meeting Daddy
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

She checked the time and then looked up at the staircase.Sharon appeared perplexed, as she had been trying to reach Sophia but couldn't get through. 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

At the hospital, Alex found himself in the company of his parents, who had arrived nearly an hour earlier. The worry etched across his mother's face remained palpable, despite his repeated reassurances. Her brown eyes remained fixed on his expression, a constant vigil to ensure his well-being."Your grandfather wanted to come, but given his current health, we couldn't allow it," his father informed him, and Alex nodded in understanding. His expectations of his grandfather's presence were low, especially given their strained relationship since his divorce from Sophia.Although his grandfather had been sick for the last few months, even before then, their meetings with each other were always short and brief. Grandfather's actions towards him were not just because of the divorce, but also, cause of how Alex had been persistent and stubborn about Alice, at first. They conversed for a while before Mr. Carter stood up and stepped out of the ward to make a call. Alex sighed. Feeling ove

Elena's trembling hand reached for the door handle, her heart racing as she turned the knob and cautiously pushed the door open. Her expression, a delicate mask hiding turbulent emotions, revealed nothing of her intentions.Inside, her gaze fixed on the meticulously made bed, the curtains drawn tightly shut, and a black purse resting on the pristine sheets. Just why?Why is he suddenly after Sophia?There was nothing wrong over the past years, he was leaving his life normal and okay, pulling himself out of the social circle and not mingling with women, but why now all of a sudden?Everything felt out of place, and it was giving her a pounding headache. Of course, she is happy for Alex. But is this what she wants? And is this the best for him? Probably not. For him to reconcile and rekindle his love for Sophia. He might get hurt again. 'I want Alex to be delighted, or rather pleased and happy'. Elena internally reminded herself to wade the fact that she was growing nuts recalling

Seeing her father after so many years filled her insides with a feeling she despised—and a father she had begun to despise.Sophia stood straight, not allowing the man before her to see her waver in his presence, not even a little bit, "What are you doing here, Father-" she paused, a smile pulled up her lips before she opened up to speak again, her words sliced through the tranquility of the atmosphere, "Oh, that was a mistake. What are you going here, Mr Smith?" she rephrased her words, and the flicker of emotions that flashed through his eyes didn't go unnoticed by her—nothing about him right now could go unnoticed by her.He was aging, a sliver of gray hair ran down his smoothly brushed hair, and the wrinkle by the edge of his eyes was obvious—too obvious, Sophia noted. And lastly, she didn't fail to notice that her father now walked with a stick, one that staked through his majestic charm."I didn't come here to repeat myself, Aliyah. I'm here to see your rumored twins. The one yo

"Yes, you are speaking with the right person," her heart sank, and her fingers instinctively tightened on the steering wheel."There are a few other numbers, but this one was starred as a favorite. Are you someone close?" The question hung heavy in the air.A subtle ache nagged at her as she asked, "What happened?""The patient has been moved to the hospital already. The car crashed with another; both drivers survived with fatal injuries, but the man sitting in the rear seat of the second car had more injuries and a cut on the head—it seemed to be more than just a cut," the person on the other end of the line said breathlessly. Each word filled Sophia with heavy worry; her gaze darted to the other car as it slowly drove outside the gates, and she immediately asked."Which hospital is it?" The car geared on, and her hands trembled on the wheel as the man finally answered."Greenwood Hospital,""Okay, thank you," Sophia was about to end the call but then suddenly inquired, "Sorry, do yo

Feeling faint and lost, Sophia stared down at her scrunchie, pulling it slightly and rubbing her fingers against it, her thoughts straying off. Alex's words played in her mind again and again. And each time it did, it sent her back to a pool of memories she thought she had forgotten. A sigh escaped her lips, and she brushed her fingers through her hair. Sophia stopped in front of a hospital room, and when she glanced in through the window, she noticed Patricia wasn't alone; her mother-in-law was present. Her lips pressed into a thin line as she took in the scene. One of the twins was wailing in Patricia’s arms, red-faced and crying, while the other cried just as loudly from the bed. But what irked her was the sight of Patricia’s mother-in-law, who lay sprawled on the couch, sleeping as if she had no care in the world. Sophia clenched and unclenched her fists, swallowing down the frustration that climbed in her throat. It wasn’t that she expected much from the woman, but se

“Lucas?” Sophia turned to face him, surprised to see him here. He didn't tell her he was coming over, and this was his first time visiting her at the hospital. Before she could approach him, he made his way to where she was standing. A small smile tugged at his lips as he came to stand in front of her. “I didn't know you were coming over,” Sophia told him, sparing him a small smile. “I came around to check up on my uncle. Thought I should check up on you too,” he told her, and Sophia muttered a silent ‘oh.’ Lucas tilted his head slightly, and that was when his gaze fell on the person Sophia had been conversing with. Lucas spared him a nod in greeting, but to his utmost surprise, the patient only spared him a look, not bothering to answer his greeting. Lucas cleared his throat, brushing his fingers through his hair. “I see you were busy,” he said to Sophia, who immediately realized what he meant. He must have seen her feeding Alex. “Oh, yeah,” she muttered, glancing o

Sophia was silenced by Alex's words; she wasn't sure what to say to him anymore. Hesitation blared through her veins at his request, and she swallowed the lump stuck in her throat. There was no way she was going to accept feeding him; what was he even thinking of making such a suggestion? “You don't really expect that I'll agree to that, do you?” She raised a brow at him, gauging his reaction to see whether he was indeed serious. Alex brushed a thumb across his lower lip. “So you wouldn't do it then?” he asked instead of responding to her question. “Of course not. I have work to do, and I can't sit down to feed a patient.” She was quick to answer. Alex gave her a small nod; he turned his gaze from her and stared down at his bandaged hand. “That sounds like an excuse to me.” “It's not an excuse. It's simply not appropriate,” she said clearly, instinctively taking a step back as he slowly looked up from his hand to her. His gaze was warm and hot, burning through her skin.

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 expre
Is Mr. CEO Our Daddy? Ex-Husband Returns As My Patient 52. A Mother's Fear
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.

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
