After divorce I am a billionaire

Chapter 1094 Need His Wife to Take Care of Him As soon as the sudden news broke, all the reporters outside the civil affairs bureau went crazy. Even Mavis and Moore were stunned.

Anthony didn't show up because he got into a car accident on his way here?? Malcolm and Chad exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Soon, there was commotion in the crowd, with many reporters already digging for information on which hospital Anthony was currently in.

The scene becchaotic.

Chad leaned close to Malcolm and whispered, "Since it's not just an ordinary traffic accident but a criminal case, we need to protect Anthony's whereabouts." Malcolm nodded calmly and arranged things methodically, "Evacuate the crowd at the civil affairs bureau entrance. No one is allowed to inquire about NIB's cases before they are publicly tried. Chad, you and | will go to the hospital." He then looked at Mavis, "We have limited information right now about how serious his injuries are from this car accident. Do you want to cwith us?" Mavis hesitated for a moment.

If Anthony's car accident today had anything to do with their divorce proceedings that he rushed over here for, then she would have an unshirkable responsibility.

Arter all, they were still legally married; it wouldn't be right if she didn't go see him after something like this happened.

She nodded her head, "I'll go." Moore immediately followed suit, "Then I'll ctoo." Malcolm glanced casually at him and refused without room for argument, "Unrelated people can't calong. If you leak any NIB's classified information because of this incident, you will bear your own consequences." Moore clearly felt targeted; his expression under his glasses becsomewhat embarrassed.

Mavis quickly intervened with diplomacy, "Mr. White is right; our priority now is not to interfere with NIB's investigations while prioritizing our injured's wellbeing. You should head back first. I'll call you if there are any updates or developments." Having said that much already left Moore no choice but to nod in agreement reluctantly.

Ted led his team of people quickly, evacuating everyone from the area around them as planned earlier by Malcolm before leaving himself too.

Chad led Mavis onto an armed vehicle which soon drove away from that street corner where everything had happened earlier.

Hopevale General Hospital in Suham.

When Mavis, Maand Chad arrived at the hospital, they learned that Anthony had already been transferred from emergency care into regular patient care. It seemed like he wasn't in danger of losing his life anymore.

The three of them went straight towards where he was being treated.

Anthony had just woken up when they arrived. Kane was by his side helping him cut fruit while Zack sat on another side of bed using laptop computer seriously listening attentively as Anthony explained work-related issues.

The atmosphere among them was inexplicably harmonious.

As soon as Mavis entered, she noticed Anthony's left leg in a cast and his face was slightly pale. However, he seemed to be in good spirits and didn't appear to be seriously injured.

Anthony's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze first fell on Mavis' face without a trace, and then looked towards Malcolm at the very front.

He lightly curled his lips and gave a lazy smile, "Just a little injury. It's really an honor to have both Mr. White and you cpersonally to visit me." It was obvious that it was just polite talk, and Malcolm couldn't be bothered to respond with pleasantries. With a single glance, Kane and Zack stood up and left the room after giving a slight bow as a sign of respect.

"What's going on?" Malcolm walked over and asked.

Anthony looked lazy and indifferent as he said, "It was just a minor accident. When | was driving to the civil affairs bureau, a out-of- control truck hit me. Luckily, | survived but my leg got injured." In the face of a out-of-control large truck, the survival rate of a car accident was very low, and Anthony seemed to only have minor injuries. Was it really just luck? Chad walked to the foot of the bed and tapped on the cast on his leg with a sly smile. "Ouch, does it hurt here?" He frowned and let out a soft hiss, as if in pain, but with a playful tone, "Are you really going to treatlike this in front of my wife? Do | have no one to backup?" Several people's gaze finally turned to Mavis, who had a very low presence since she cin.

Mavis was taken aback and nervously squeezed her palms, bowing her head without saying a word.

Anthony continued, "Today's incident was completely unjustified. Mr. White, you must bear witness to what happened to me." Malcolm stared at him without changing his expression and asked, "How do you wantto witness it?" "If it weren't for the trip to the Civil Affairs Bureau today, which exposed my whereabouts, I'm afraid | wouldn't have encountered this misfortune. Therefore, my wife has an inescapable responsibility to stay and take care ofuntil | recover. Do you think this is reasonable?" From a moral standpoint, even if today's matter had nothing to do with Mavis, the wife should stay and take care of her husband who was seriously ill.

Malcolm looked indifferent and didn't want to get involved in the grievances between the couple. "This is your family matter, and it's up to you to decide." He spoke and turned his head to look at Chad.

Chad quickly understood and took out his iPad from his pocket. "Alright, the condolence segment is over. Let's write a report quickly. Repeat the location, time, and details of the morning accident in full." Anthony also cooperated and repeated the swords.

When he was recording the confession, Mavis was quietly listening next to them without interrupting Malcolm and Chad's work from beginning to end.

Chad turned off his iPad. "Get srest. We'll cback tomorrow to continue filling in the details of the case," he said.

Malcolm put his hands in his pockets and walked away, with Chad following closely behind him.

Once they were gone, only Mavis and Anthony remained in the hospital room. Mavis stood at the foot of the bed, motionless and lost in thought.

Anthony cleared his throat to get her attention. "Why are you standing so far away? I'm not a monster or anything. I'm just a patient who needs someone to take care of. Csit over here." She didn't move.

His voice was softer than usual as he continued speaking casually, "Kane left halfway through peeling an apple forearlier. Can you helpout?" Mavis looked at the half-peeled apple on the bedside table but still didn't move as if she was wary about something.

Anthony lowered his gaze and looked at his leg that was now encased in plaster cast with sadness hidden behind long lashes.

"During that split second when | had the accident earlier, | thought Alistair would lose his father forever. | promised him that we'd spend a day together at an amusement park but never got around to it because of work commitments," he said regretfully.

As soon as Alistair's ncup, Mavis' expression changed slightly for once.

She walked over and sat down on a chair next to Anthony's bed before picking up where Kane left off by peeling an apple for him without complaint or hesitation.

While she busied herself with peeling the apple, Anthony stared intently at her face.

It made her feel uneasy all over until she decided to break the silence, "The thing we agreed today was going be about getting the certificat wasn't exposed bybut Moore. He didn't know what kind of danger this would bring you or that Callahan Group's enemies would target you." Anthony leaned against headboard while running tongue lightly across teeth looking slightly gloomy.

"That friend of yours is too meddlesome," He replied irritably while feeling annoyed enough and wanting to kick Moore out himself right then and there! Unexpectedly though, Mavis spoke first, "He messed up this taround. I'll make sure he comes here personally apologize himself. | know you don't want him staying here indefinitely either. In Bostrain, | don't have anyone trustworthy watching my company so | can't relax until someone is keeping tabs on it. I'll arrange for him go back soon." He raised an eyebrow slightly, his blue eyes glinting under dim light before giving her lips a small quirk. "Then let's forget about divorce talk temporarily until after my recovery?"
