Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 208

"It’s the low blood pressure," the doctor said, her tone calm but professional. "Are you stressed about something, Mr. Foster?"

Ryan remained silent. His gaze fixes somewhere far off, the tension in his posture unrelenting. Seeing him reluctant to speak, the doctor decided not to press further.

"It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it with me, Mr. Foster," she said gently. "But I think it would be helpful if you could talk to someone. Bottling up your emotions will only make things worse. Over time, it would start affecting your health in a way you wouldn’t want."

She then picked up her prescription pad, scribbled down a few notes, and tore the sheet before handing it to him. "Here, I have prescribed a few medicines. Take them as directed, and you should feel better."

Ryan nodded, taking the prescription from her hand and rising to his feet. "Thank you, doctor," he said curtly.

The doctor returned the nod but then glanced at her watch. A thought seemed to occur to her, and she looked up. "Ms. Ember might be waking up soon. Would you like us to leave her a message?"

At the mention of Delyth, Ryan’s expression hardened. His jaws clenched, his hands tightening around the prescription. "There is no need for that," he said coldly. "I will visit her in the morning."

With that, he turned and left, the sound of his footsteps echoing faintly as he walked away.

Outside the clinic, Ryan stopped near his car, leaning against it for a moment as he looked around. People were bustling by, their faces a blur of motion, yet he felt an unsettling stillness —an emptiness gnawed at him.

He scrolled through his phone, pausing at Daniel’s number. His thumb hovered over the screen, but he couldn’t bring himself to dial it anymore. Not after how he acted with him before. He regretted it but he knew the amends was not easy to make

Sighing, he slid his phone back into his pocket and climbed into the car. He started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, driving with no destination in mind.

He wanted to drive to Arwen, to ask her the reasons, but he feared the answers he would receive from her.

He wanted to drive his way to Daniel’s apartment, but he was scared that he would sever their friendship and he wouldn’t be able to take that loss.

Suddenly he felt lost alone in the world. The words that he had chosen to ignore earlier resurfaced again, making it more unbearable to bear.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the town, Arwen sat in the back seat of the car returning to the Winslow Residence. Her phone rang, and seeing the familiar name, she picked it up with a soft smile.

"Are you deliberately ignoring me, granddaughter dearest?" Brenda’s voice came through, grumbling with mock indignation. Arwen could already imagine her grandmother squinting her eyes in faux accusation —a look that always made her laugh.

Chuckling softly, she replied, "How would I dare to do that, and why, Granna?"

"Who knows? You might be trying to hide your husband from me. After all, my threat from last time was pretty severe." Brenda said, her tone playful. and Arwen disagreed immediately. _{freёwebnovel.com}
