Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 50

“We have found Ms. Spencer, but she has a high fever out of cold and is currently taking IV drip, Taylor replied.

Cassandra said, “I see. Keep taking care of Orlando. We’ll talk about it after he wakes up.”

After providing a brief arrangement, she left the ward.

She wanted to ask Rebecca directly but immediately dispersed the idea.

Rebecca did not force Orlando to find her in the rain at midnight, so Cassandra thought she had no reason to confront her.

Cassandra drove back to Dustmeadow Mansion. After washing up and having breakfast, she took a shower before going to sleep.

At the hospital, Orlando woke up shortly before eight o’clock in the morning.

At that time, Cassandra had left for more than an hour.

When Orlando opened his eyes, he saw a woman sitting beside him with her head propped up and eyes closed.

With a frown, he looked at Rebecca, who was wearing a hospital gown with a pale face. He realized the situation shortly after.

The anesthetic’s effect had passed, and the wounds on Orlando’s body and his fractured leg were unbearably painful.

Even with the slightest movement, he hissed in pain.

Rebecca heard the sound and opened her eyes, glancing at Orlando happily. She said, “Landy, you’re finally awake! Are you feeling pain? I’ll call the doctor.”

“No need,” Orlando replied with a painful frown. His face was emotionless, and his lips looked pale.

Landy, I’m sorry. It was all my fault for getting you injured,” said Rebecca.

Rebecca blamed herself and felt guilty. She was scared when she learned that Orlando had a car accident while searching for

her.

“It’s not your fault. How are you? Are you okay?” asked Orlando.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just have a slight fever. But I feel much better after getting an injection,” Rebecca answered with a headshake, with her eyes looking swollen from crying. She turned even more upset upon seeing Orlando covered in wounds.

Without showing emotions, Orlando asked, “Where are the others?”

He glanced around and didn’t see that familiar figure. He frowned deeply, feeling an indescribable emotion in his mind.

Rebecca hurriedly replied, “Taylor went to prepare clean clothes and toiletries for you. He’ll be back soon.

“I see,” Orlando replied without asking further.

He closed his eyes and remained indifferent. He vividly remembered he was driving at a high speed and avoiding a car running a red light at a crossroads, causing him to collide with a utility pole

Rebecca looked at Orlando silently and didn’t dare to disturb him.

After a while, Taylor came with the things he prepared.

He asked. “Ms. Spencer, is Mr. Quinn awake?”

“Yeah. He just woke up but fell asleep… replied Rebecca.

“Taylor, Orlando interrupted as he said lightly. “Send Rebecca to rest. I’m feeling fine now.”

“Landy, les me take care of you. I can do it,” said Rebecca.

Rebecca refused to leave as she wanted to take care of and accompany Orlando. After all, she knew he was injured because of her.

Orlando did not waver and replied indifferently, “You don’t have to. Having Taylor here is enough. You have a fever and should go to rest, okay?“.

He looked straight at Rebecca and didn’t give in. In the end, Rebecca could only nod.

Taylor sent Rebecca back to her ward before returning to Orlando, Just as he entered the ward, Orlando asked, “Where’s Cassandra?”

His voice sounded cold, and his expression looked calm yet displeased,

Taylor hurriedly replied, “I immediately contacted Mrs. Quinn when you were sent here. She didn’t leave your side until this morning, staying with you for a whole night. She only returned after making sure you were fine. She should have gone home to rest by now.”

The indifference on Orlando’s face finally dispersed, but he still looked displeased.

Taylor asked tentatively, “Mr. Quinn, shall I call her?”

“No. Let her rest,” said Orlando,

Orlando’s tone was indifferent, and his eyes showed a slight coldness, making it clear that he was upset at a glance.

After that, Taylor was cautious not to make any mistakes for fear of getting scolded by Orlando.

Cassandra slept for a long time before waking up in the afternoon.

Her phone received a few missed calls from Michael.

Cassandra immediately called him back.

She asked, “Michael, what’s up? I was sleeping just now,”

“Nothing serious. I’m just worried about you since it’s already late, and you haven’t come to the company. Your voice sounded a little hoarse. What’s wrong?” Michael asked concernedly.

“Maybe I didn’t get enough rest. I’m not going today. I have revised the design drawings from Hawley Real Estate, but I’m not very satisfied with some parts. Negotiate with them and see if they’re willing to modify the parts. If they refuse, we can only improve on the original foundation,” said Cassandra.

After the call, Cassandra got up to wash her face and went downstairs to eat.

She was a little distracted and kept thinking about whether she should tell everyone at the Quinn manor about Orlando’s accident.

If Orlando intentionally concealed it, no information would get spread.

However, after some thought, she decided not to interfere as she didn’t want Peter to get worried,

As for Orlando, Cassandra did not receive any call from him.

She thought Orlando should be awake by now.

With narrowed eyes, she hesitated for a while and then sent a message to Nellie, asking her to inquire about Orlando.

Soon. Neie replied. [Orlando is awake, so rest assured. Due to his fractured leg and wounds on his body, he needs time to heal while getting some rest.]

[Okay. Got it.] replied Cassandra.

Cassandra’s expression was indifferent, lacking any emotions.

Nellie asked. [1 heard he was injured because of Rebecca?]

Cassandra answered while narrowing her eyes, [Yeah.]

[Why, though? You two are still married, but he’s risking his life for Rebecca. He shouldn’t treat you like this.] Nellie replied as she felt bad for Cassandra.

Cassandra was beautiful and talented. Although the Jackson family was no match for the Quinn family, Nellie thought they couldn’t treat Cassandra as badly as they did right now,

Nellie wanted to say more but ended the topic as she was worried that Cassandra would feel upset.

Cassandra didn’t answer that question and replied instead, [It already happened, but I’m glad he’s fine. Help me keep an eye on him and tell me if there’s anything amiss.]

JOkay, leave this to me,] said Nellie.

Knowing that Orlando was fine, Cassandra lost the intention of going to the hospital.

The incident was like a thorn stuck in her heart, not fatal but was too painful to be ignored.

It felt painful, especially when Nellie’s words pricked her heart. Cassandra hadn’t divorced Orlando yet, but Orlando had risked his life for Rebecca, making Cassandra doubt her own position in Orlando’s heart.

Cassandra thought she could ignore it, but the fact proved that she couldn’t pretend nothing had happened.

With Cassandra’s refusal to go to the hospital, Orlando also chose not to contact her.

Their relationship was at an impasse.

After Orlando woke up from the intense pain of his wounds, he let the doctor give him an injection and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already midnight.

Taylor immediately woke up when Orlando moved slightly. He said, “Mr. Quinn, do you need anything?”

Orlando looked cold, exuding an icy aura that made it difficult for anyone to approach him.

Orlando didn’t respond and couldn’t get up now, even having to rely on a urinary catheter when he wanted to use the restroom, which made him annoyed by his current state.

He couldn’t sleep all night.

11:00 Sat, 27 Apr :: • MM;

Rebecca came the next morning.

After getting discharged, she made herself busy by taking care of Orlando.

Vet, Rebecca felt uncertain about Orlando’s emotionless attitude, so she found a topic and asked, “Landy, why didn’t Cassandra come to accompany you? Is she angry about you getting yourself hurt for me?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
