Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 289

Meanwhile at the hospital, after long hours, finally the red light outside the operation theatre was set off.

Ryan glanced up and right at that moment, the door of the room was pulled open. He stood up and saw Dr. Walters coming out.

"Dr. Walter," he called as he quickly walked to him. His brows furrowed in concern.

The doctor gave him a small smile and then slowly nodded. "Mr. Foster, you can relax now," he said as he slowly removed his cap. "The surgery was successful. Now with this complete, the day is not far when Ms. Ember will be able to stand up on her feet once again."

Ryan’s expression eased and he finally relaxed. "Thank you, Dr. Walter."

The doctor smiled and gracefully accepted his words before adding, "Ms. Ember is still under the effect of the sedative. She will be moved to the ICU first and later after a few days, we will have her shifted to the private ward. For now, you can wait for her to regain her consciousness."

This was something normal and Ryan was expecting it. Hence when he heard the doctor he nodded. After that, Dr. Walters left.

Once he was gone, Ryan went back to sit chair. Soon, he heard the Delyth being wheeled out. Standing up, he followed. Once she was shifted to the ICU, he talked with the nurse there before deciding to leave.

When he was walking out, the nurse stared at his back, perplexed. Seeing her staring in the direction like that, another nurse nudged her to ask, "What happened? What are you looking at?"

The nurse shook her head. "No, I am just confused. I thought this man was her boyfriend and that’s why he looked so concern. But now seeing him leave like that, it feels like there is nothing such between them. After all, which man would leave his girlfriend behind, after such a big surgery."

Back at Winslow Residence,

Arwen might not be well-versed with the kitchen here, but after moving around a few times, she knew almost every location. The chefs had kept everything prepared, so reheating them was not big of a task. She was able to do it all well and fine.

When only a few dishes were left, she heard Aiden’s voice from the entrance.

"Do you need my help?" he asked, and she glanced up at him, her lips curling up in a small smile.

Shaking her head, she refused. "There is no help needed. I am almost done. But you still insist, then you can accompany me taking the dishes to the table."

Aiden walked in, his hands tucked in his jogger’s pockets. Since there were still a few dishes left, he stood there.

That moment felt blissful and Arwen didn’t know she craved it so much until she was finally experiencing it.

"Do you also feel this is peaceful?" she asked suddenly, not knowing what she was expecting to hear. After all, it was her life that was a mess before, not his. She had to be mindful of her mom, Ryan and all the rules and disciplines set by her mom.

Why would he feel the same satisfaction that she was feeling at that moment?

She realized that she had posed the wrong question to the wrong person. She was about to close it when she heard him hum.
