The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 23

Inside Riverton General, Helen was leaning against the hallway, her head lowered in thought.

Sean approached her, asking affectionately, "What's on your mind, Helen?"

"Nothing," she replied.

"Please don't tell me it's Frank," Sean said tentatively.

Helen smiled begrudgingly and shook her head. "Why would I be thinking about him?"

"Yes, of course," Sean promptly scoffed. "He's trash—you should forget about him. I mean, you may be his ex-wife, but he actually refused to help even when he saw that you were in danger. You can't depend on men like him."

Helen nodded in agreement, and seeing that, Sean promptly whipped out the diamond ring he had prepared in his pocket.

Looking upon Helen lovingly then, he said, "I bought this for you—it's the latest design from Pegasus Diamonds. I wanted to give it to you as a gift after you got that contract from the Turnbulls, but I didn't have the chance."

Helen was stunned. "What is this, Mr. Wesley?"

"Do you really not get it?" Sean's blazing eyes were fixed on her.

Helen averted her eyes. "I get it, but I don't think we're good for—"

"Helen, I know this is sudden," Sean said, promptly cutting her short. "But I'm hoping you won't reject me. Just give us time—I'm sure things will change."

He reached for her arm right then, but the instant he touched her skin, she avoided him as if jolted. "I'm sorry, but I can't accept this—it's too expensive."

"Hehe, it's alright," Sean said, forcing a smile even though his eyes flashed severely.

Bang!

There was a sudden crash behind them, and they both turned to find someone kicking down the fire escape door.

Soon, a gang of burly thugs streamed into the hallway!

The head nurse was immediately spooked by their arrival and asked with a quivering voice, "W-What's your business here…?"
