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

Kurt froze, knowing better than to argue.

With a small bow, he grabbed the pile of documents from Kysons desk and silently left the room.

Lately, Kyson had made the office his home, spending every night there, lost in the haze of work and solitude.

Dulcie was still recovering at home, keeping her away from work, and it had been days since theyd last seen each other.

The office fell silent once more.

Kyson slumped by the window, staring out at the bustling city below.

Life continued down there-people rushing through the streets, faces painted with joy, grief, or indifference.

A stark contrast to the turmoil inside him.

He longed to visit Colby, but knew his presence would only make things worse. Colby barely tolerated him, and Kyson couldnt bear the thought of adding to the boys distress.

Yet..

Colby loved Dulcie.

Shaking off the thought, Kyson returned to his desk.

There was work to be done, even if his mind wasnt in it.

A week later, Colby had finally stabilized.noveldrama

The virus that had caused his collapse was under control, and his energy slowly returned.

Sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, he was deep in thought, puzzling over a set of junior high math problems Nathan had brought for him.

The door creaked open, and Colby looked up just as a small blur of pink darted into the room.

Destinee, her excitement barely contained, rushed to his bedside.

Her eyes landed on the IV in Colbys arm, and her face scrunched up in concern.

Gently, she leaned over and blew on the needle site, her voice full of innocent faith.

If I blow on it, Colby, it wont hurt anymore.

Colby chuckled softly, his arm numb from the repeated infusions.

It doesnt hurt, Destinee.

Im used to it by now.

Lucinda and Nathan stood outside the door, talking quietly with Aldric.

Meanwhile, Destinee grabbed the iPad shed brought along and eagerly showed her brother a video.

Look, Colby! Potato is so smart! Hes only two months old, but he already knows how to shake hands and sit. I even taught him to use the litter box! But hes still so stinky when he poops.

Her enthusiasm was infectious as she rattled off every little thing their kitten had done, from playing with his toys to causing minor chaos at home.

When Lucinda and Nathan finally entered the room, they couldnt help but smile at the sight of their two children happily chatting together.

Some of the tension in Lucindas chest eased.

She walked over and sat beside Colby, her hand brushing his hair back.

How are you feeling, honey? Is your chest still hurting? Colby shook his head, offering a small smile.

Im fine, Mommy.

Aldric says I can go home tomorrow, just one more day of infusion.

The sterile scent of disinfectant hung in the aira smell Colby hated.
