Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon novel Chapter 198

Lindy had just ushered Effie and Lyman out of the room.

Now, the two of them wandered down the hospital corridor, exchanging uncertain glances.

“What are they thinking, wanting us to flirt in a hospital?” Lyman said, half-laughing, half incredulous.

Effie could only shake her head. She found it a little awkward, too.

Still, it was true—they’d skipped right past dating and straight into marriage. Maybe their families worried their relationship wasn’t strong enough, so they went out of their way to give them moments like this.

Effie actually didn’t mind the alone time at all.

She turned to Lyman and said, “Honestly, this is kind of nice.”

Lyman smiled. As long as Effie was happy, nothing else mattered to her.

Suddenly, Effie caught sight of a familiar figure hurrying through the doors into the maternity ward.

That’s odd… Isn’t that Nelly from the design department?

“What did you see?” Lyman asked, noticing the shift in Effie’s expression.

He’d been so focused on her, he hadn’t seen anything unusual. But now he could tell something serious had caught her eye.

Effie shook her head. This wasn’t her business to get involved in.

“It’s nothing. Let’s just keep walking.”

“Alright.”

Effie was about to move on when she saw yet another familiar figure slip into the maternity ward—this time, she could have sworn she heard them call Nelly’s name.

Grabbing Lyman’s arm, Effie quickly pulled him to the side.

Lyman was caught off guard by their sudden need for secrecy in the middle of a hospital.

He shot her an amused look. What could she possibly have seen that required them to act like a pair of sneaks?

“Forget it, let’s go.”

Effie shook her head, baffled by her own reaction. Why was she more agitated than the people involved, as if she'd stumbled onto some grand secret?

They wandered the halls for a while longer before making their way back to the patient room.
