Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 100

Back at East City Hospital, Delyth tried to calm herself, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hold back the rising panic. It was already late afternoon the next day, and Ryan had still not returned. Hadn’t he said that he would be back before she woke up?

The previous day, she had deliberately pretended to sleep longer than necessary, thinking Ryan would come and worry about her. But even as the evening passed, he didn’t show up. Where was he?

"Did you call him?" Delyth asked when she saw Lily enter the room. Her tone was laced with both worry and desperation.

The nurse’s brows furrowed. "I tried calling Mr. Foster again, but his phone is still coming switched off," she replied.

But the moment she finished, Delyth let out a frustrated growl, making her flinch. "Then call him again and see! He must have turned it on by now!" she snapped, her tone holding a mixture of impatience and unease.

"Ms. Ember, I tried just before coming here. It’s still the same," the nurse responded, her irritation barely hidden beneath the mask of professionalism. If it weren’t for the money she had taken from Delyth, she would have no patience for her tantrums.

Delyth’s chest tightened, her frustration boiling over. "What do you mean, it’s still the same?" she hissed, her hands gripping the bedsheets tightly. "How can his phone be off for this long? Keep trying! He can’t just leave me here like this!"

Her voice grew more shrill with every word, and her panic was now palpable. "Ryan wouldn’t disappear like this. Something is wrong … something has to be wrong!"

The nurse didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t her friend to know how to comfort her in the moments like this. So, she could only depend upon her professional learning. "I will call him again, Ms. Ember, but before that, please take your medicines. It’s almost time and you shouldn’t ignore your recovery."

Delyth shook her head in her own thoughts. "No, call him and tell him that I am not taking my meds. I am sure he would come running to see what’s wrong."

The nurse sharply exhaled, trying to hold her composure. "How can we call him when his phone is turned off? Let’s save that trick for the time when he turns it back on. For now, have your medicines, please." the nurse said, using the best of her patience already. She had tried to hide the taunt beneath her words, but somehow her remarks could barely conceal it.

Delyth shot her a venomous glare. "Bring me my phone! Now!"

The nurse held back a sigh of exasperation and handed her the phone.

Delyth snatched it from her and furiously began dialling. But after a moment, hearing the same result, her hand trembled. She dialed again, but the response didn’t change. Gritting her teeth, she spat with venom dripping her words, "No, Ryan you can’t do this to me. You can’t shut me you when I need you the most. You can’t forget the promise you made to Zeke.

"My apologies, Ma’am. I am a server at Zero Bar, and I was serving Mr. Foster. He was a bit drunk, so I took his phone to call someone to pick him up. Driving in this state could be dangerous." _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
