Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Whats going on? Bain didnt have time to explain.noveldrama

Kyson had given him a strict deadline, and he had already cut it close.

Ignoring the butlers questioning look, Bain darted into the house.

To his surprise, Kyson was casually sitting in the living room, sipping coffee as if nothing urgent was at hand.

The moment Bain appeared, Kyson stood up, his expression unreadable.

Come upstairs with me.

Bain followed, still trying to catch his breath.

He had just wrapped up an international medical forum and had barely had time to rest. The drive over wasnt any easier-his apartment was a good 20 miles from the Shaw family house, and he wasnt sure how many traffic lights he had blown through just to make it on time.

Kyson led the way, pushing open the door to Dulcies room.

When their eyes met, an unspoken tension hung in the air.

Dulcie was taken aback by Kysons sudden appearance but said nothing.

Examine her, Kyson commanded, his tone leaving no room for debate.

The authority in his tone was unmistakable, and it made the atmosphere in the room shift palpably.

Bain swallowed hard, his throat dry with anxiety.

This was his first formal meeting with Dulcie, and he could feel a flush creeping up his neck, an uncomfortable mix of nerves and embarrassment settling in.

He hesitated, unsure if it was inappropriate to address her as Miss.

Dulcie glanced at the stranger before her, and then shifted her gaze to Kyson, silently seeking an explanation.

Kysons reply was crisp and devoid of warmth.

Hes the doctor from the orthopedics department, and he is here to examine you.

A sense of resignation washed over Dulcie.

With a measured breath, Dulcie extended her foot, which was still swollen at the ankle.

This might hurt. Bain, trying to be gentle, reached out and cradled her ankle in his hands.

As he twisted it slightly to get a better look at the swelling, he noticed her wince, the sharp flash of pain crossing her features.

Itll be over quickly, he reassured her, his voice softening as he tried to ease her tension.

Dulcie nodded.

She bit her lower lip, the pressure of her teeth digging in as she braced herself for the discomfort.

Her pale Lips, bitten raw, soon reddened as she struggled to suppress her pain.

Bain gripped her foot a little more firmly and applied a sudden, sharper twist to her ankle.

Dulcies face flushed crimson with the surge of pain, and a tremor ran through her body.
