Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband

Chapter 119

** Finisher

After completing all the necessary formalities, Lily returned to the waiting area and sat quietly next to Mira.

Closing her eyes, she clasped her hands together, silently praying for Ethan and the driver's recovery.

Every passing minute felt like an eternity, and her heart pounded erratically with worry. Sitting outside the

operation theater, it seemed as if titself had cto a halt. The anxiety was unbearable, and with each tick

of the clock, her fears grew.

As she sat there, Lily's thoughts spiraled, leading her to a profound realization-her love for Ethan was deeper

than she had ever imagined. It wasn’t just affection or admiration; it was an all-encompassing, soul- deep

connection. She couldn't imagine a life without him. The thought of losing him made her feel like the ground

beneath her was slipping away.

In her past life, she had loved Ryan, or so she thought, but that love paled in comparison. What she felt for Ethan

was incomparable. He had brought a wholeness to her life that she never knew was missing. With him, she felt

truly alive.

As she reflected, Lily realized how fragile life could be. Waiting outside the operation theater, she learned a

valuable lesson: when you love someone, you should never hesitate to tell them. Life was unpredictable, and the

chance to express your feelings might not always cagain.

She felt fortunate that Ethan's injuries weren't life-threatening, but all she wanted now was for him to open his

eyes. She wanted to hold him close and confess how much he meant to her. She wanted him to know that he

wasn't just her husband; he was her world.

A little while later, familiar voices filled the waiting area. James, Parker, Mia, and Ivy arrived, their faces etched

with worry. Assistant Ben approached them and quickly brought them up to speed on Ethan's condition. The

group then made their way to Lily.

“Sister-in-law, are you okay?” Parker asked gently.

Lily nodded faintly, her eyes never leaving the operation theater doors. “I'm fine,” she replied softly, though her

voice lacked strength.

Ivy, the youngest of the group, couldn’t hold back her tears. She rushed forward and hugged Lily tightly. “Sister-

in-law,” she sobbed, “nothing's going to happen to my brother, right?”

Lily pulled back slightly, holding Ivy's tear-streaked face in her hands. “Ivy, don’t cry,” she said firmly, though

her own voice wavered. “Nothing will happen to him. He’s strong. He'll cback to us.” She wiped Ivy's tears

and gently rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

Despite her inner turmoil, Lily knew she had to stay strong, not just for herself but for everyone around her. She

couldn't let her fear show.

Two hours crawled by, each moment heavier than the last.

“Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?” Parker asked, his concern evident.

Lily shook her head. “I'm not hungry, Brother Parker,” she said softly. Her mind was far from food; all she wanted

was to see Ethan awake and healthy.

“No, she hasn't eaten anything,” Mira chimed in, looking pointedly at Parker. “Bring something for her.”

“Brother Parker, | really don’t want anything,” Lily protested weakly. “I can't—"

Before she could finish, Mia interjected, her tone firm yet caring. “Lily, you need to cat. How do you think Ethan

will feel when he wakes up and sees you pale and weak? Do you want him to feel guilty because you neglected

yourself?”

Lily looked down, her emotions a storm inside her. “I just don’t feel like eating, Sister Mia,” she whispered.

Mia sighed but didn’t push further. The group exchanged worried glances, knowing they had to support her

through this difficult time.

Everyone exchanged glances, letting out an exaggerated sigh. James, with a teasing smirk, finally broke the

silence. “Fine, Lily, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t. But when Boss Ethan wakes up, we'll make sure to tell

him that his beloved wife was starving herself because she was too worried about him. Let’s see how he feels

about that.”

Lily blinked, realizing what he was implying, but before she could respond, Mia chimed in. “Jun, let the nurse

know we have another patient here-Mrs. Ethan-who seems determined to make herself ill from not eating.”

Lily frowned, her resolve breaking. “No, no! I'll eat, okay? I'll eat.” Her voice was hurried, and her response drew

smiles from everyone around her. She couldn't bear the thought of Ethan waking up only to blhimself for

her neglect.

“Good,” Parker said with a nod, his expression softening. He and Assistant Ben left briefly and returned with food

for everyone. Handing out the packets, they ensured each person had something to eat.

Lily, however, only managed a few bites before setting her food aside. Her focus remained on the door of the

operating room, her gaze unwavering. Meanwhile, her left hand rested on Ivy’s back, gently rubbing it to provide

comfort.

Tseemed to drag endlessly, but about an hour later, the doors to the operating room finally swung open. A

doctor emerged, removing his gloves as he approached the group. Lily immediately stood, rushing toward him.

“Doctor, how is he?” she asked, her voice trembling with both hope and fear.

“The patient is stable now,” the doctor reassured her. “He suffered a concussion and a fracture in his left

shoulder. He's currently unconscious but should regain consciousness in two to three hours.”

Lily exhaled deeply, the weight on her chest lifting. “Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.”

“You're welcome,” the doctor replied with a small nod. “He’ll be moved to another room shortly, and once that’s

done, you may see him.” With that, he excused himself and left.

Relief washed over Lily, and she felt her knees weaken slightly. Ivy and Mia hugged her tightly, sharing in the

relief. Meanwhile, Assistant Ben and James headed to check on the driver's condition, ensuring everything was

under control.

Not long after, Ethan was transferred to a VIP room. By then, it was late, and Mira and Leon decided to leave. Lily

thanked them sincerely for their support before they departed.

Inside the room, a nurse was present to provide instructions on Ethan's post-operative care. Lily listened

attentively, committing every detail to memory before the nurse left.

Taking a seat by Ethan's bedside, she reached for his hand, holding it tightly in hers. She leaned forward, placing

a gentle kiss on his forehead. “Thank God you're okay, Ethan,” she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. “I

love you so much. Please wake up soon.”

Now that Ethan was safe, the tension in the air began to dissipate. The atmosphere in the room grew lighter as

the group relaxed. Lily remained by Ethan's side, while Parker, Mia, Ivy, and James sat on the couch, chatting

quietly about various topics.

The quiet hum of conversation was interrupted when the door suddenly opened. Two figures stepped into the

room, their presence commanding attention. The man exuded authority, his posture straight and his gaze sharp,

while the woman beside him carried an air of grace and elegance.

Ivy's eyes widened in surprise as she shot up from her seat. “Mom? Dad?” she exclaimed, rushing over to

embrace them.

“When did you arrive?” Ivy asked, her voice filled with excitement and relief.

The man, Arthur Collins, looked at his daughter with a faint smile before turning his gaze toward the bed. “How is

your brother?” he asked, his tone steady but laced with concern.

At the stime, Beatrice, Ethan’s mother, directed her attention to the young woman seated beside the bed.

“And who is this lovely young lady?” she asked with curiosity, her eyes warm but inquisitive.
