CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 What Are You Up to Now

Inside the lobby of Franck's building.

"What's going on?" Francis sat down next to Julian and grabbed her legs to check. Her ankle was already swollen.

Julian snorted in frustration and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

At that moment, a security guard approached with surveillance footage and handed it to Francis. "Mr. Landau, this is the surveillance footage."

As Francis watched the footage, his face instantly became gloomy. He had been to the place where Lilian worked and naturally knew Courtney. Of course, he also knew Courtney's real identity.

Francis threw the pad on the table and said to Julian, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Julian became even more angry since he didn't take a stand. "I'm not going! Let my leg be broken. So I don't have to hear people calling me a shameless home-wrecker every time I go out."

Frowning, Francis said, "Don't be silly. We're going to the hospital."

"No!"

Frank didn't bargain with her and just picked her up and left for the hospital.

...

Lilian sat behind Courtney. The rain was washing over her cheeks. She carefully reached out and held onto Courtney's waist.

Although the rain was cold, the warmth from Courtney's back was comforting.

She wanted to thank Courtney now, but she couldn't speak.

For twenty-three years, except for Thomas and Francis, Courtney was the first person to stand up for her.

Courtney was taken aback. She looked down at the hands wrapped around her waist and let out a silent sigh.

The raindrops were icy, but Courtney felt that the water droplets on her back were warm.

They were Lilian's tears.

Taking advantage of this heavy rain, Lilian finally cried freely.

Instead of going back to the coffee shop, Courtney sent Lilian Corona Villa.

It was the residence of Lilian and Francis after they got married.

Upon arrival, Courtney got off and walked Lilian to the door. Then she took off Lilian's helmet and gently wiped her wet face for her.

"Go inside and change your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold. That jerk won't care about you if you get sick."

Lilian nodded and used sign language to tell her to wait.

After saying that, Lilian quickly ran into the house. When she came out again, she had an umbrella in her hand.

She handed the umbrella to Courtney.

Courtney smiled and accepted the umbrella. "Alright, I'll take it. Now go inside quickly."

Lilian didn't go in. It seemed like she insisted on seeing Courtney leave.

"Fine, you win." Courtney opened the umbrella and casually put it on her shoulder. Then she got on her motorcycle and left in her pose.

Her voice came to Lilian from the rain. "Bey!"
