NovelEnglishChapter 230 Inside the room, tears welled up in the woman's eyes, spilling over as she clamped a hand over her mouth to stifle any sound. It took her a while to regain her composure, feeling like she was on the verge of suffocating.
The door opened a crack.
Forrest stepped back slightly, sliding his jacket through the gap.
Mila reached out to take it, but hesitated when she saw the pristine fabric. "It's dirty," she murmured, pulling her hand back.
She was covered in blood, and the jacket was so immaculately white.

Mila hesitated for a moment, then accepted the offer. She carefully wrapped the jacket around herself, letting it hide the mess she was in. Once covered, she took a deep breath, opened the door wider, and faced the man outside.
They stood in silence for a long moment.
It had been such a long tsince they last saw each other, and their parting had been painfully tic. This unexpected reunion felt surreal. Unable to hold his gaze for more than a second, Mila instinctively looked away. Forrest, however, suddenly stepped forward. Mila instinctively stepped back, surprised when he knelt in front of her.
"Your belt is untied," he said gently, untying the hastily knotted belt and retying it into a neat bow.
After finishing, he stood up, took a step back, and extended his arm with a warm smile. His eyes were filled with the sgentle calm they always had, as if no thad passed between them.
"Let's go," he said.
Mila hesitated, then lightly placed her hand on his arm.
Together, they walked out of the bedroom, making their way downstairs through the crowd. Just then, Harper rushed toward them.
"Ma'am, you can't leave!" Harper cried.
Before she could reach Mila, security had already restrained her, leaving her helplessly watching as Mila walked away with another man.
Once they left, Harper hurried to call Leonard. This situation was beyond her control.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeonard was pacing in front of the emergency room when he received the call, momentarily bewildered.
Though he had seen his share of crises and had a premonition about this one, he remained calm. After hanging up, he immediately arranged for someone to follow the car Mila left in. He also contacted the airport authorities, asking them to keep an eye out.
The priority was to keep track of Mila's whereabouts. As long as she remained within the country, no one would be able to stir up trouble.
He just hoped that when the boss woke up, he would stay calm and not do anything rash. The situation was giving Leonard a rare headache.
Why did Forrest have to choose this moment to return, as if he'd planned it all along, striking at the heart of things just when the boss was swamped with problems? This was bound to cause a major upheaval.
Meanwhile, Giselle was also waiting outside the emergency room, tears streaming down her face non-stop, crying and complaining.
"How could Mila be so heartless?" she lamented. "Even if Lysander didn't treat her well, she shouldn't have been so cruel. He's the head of the family!" "If anything happens to Lysander, can she bear the responsibility?"
Her sobs grew more intense, and those who were Lysander's close friends also shared her anger, carefully consoling Giselle. "Don't worry, Giselle. Once things settle down here, we'll make sure she pays." "We won't let her get away with this!"
"Back then, Lysander only married her because she begged for it! She should consider herself lucky, NO O something she could never have dreamed of achieving. And yet, she dared to treat Lysander like this!" "What kind of wife is she? Instead of being supportive and projecting a good image, she even hit him."
"I heard she lost her job at that bank or whatever because she lacked m skills. Now she's unemployed and completely dependent on Lysander, without a clue about her own situation." "After all these years, she still can't hold a candle to Giselle..." "When Lysander wakes up, he should realize that Giselle is the better match for him." "He should have divorced her long ago..."
