Divorced My Cheating Husband, Married A Billionaire novel Chapter 13

"Your mother is doing better, Miss Allen. We need to work on her muscles, including her heart. She hasn't been using her body due to the coma, and she has lost a lot of strength."

"It was fortunate that she had medical help immediately after experiencing a heart attack. It did not cause any damage to her brain."

"It's important to get her moving. We will start with simple occupational therapy."

"Next week, we can move your mother to a private room. Mister King had already requested two caregivers to attend to your mother twenty-four hours a day."

Riley stood by Renee's hospital bed, listening to three doctors.

Over the past few days, three specialists have visited Riley's mother. The doctors were the best in their field, and Riley couldn't be more thankful to Adrian for bringing them in.

Both Riley and Renee were cared for at The King's Medical Center. Everywhere Riley went, the staff always smiled at her or asked if she needed anything. Whenever nurses or doctors checked on Renee, they were overly polite. Of course, Zia was her regular visitor in the ICU.

"Do you have any questions for us, Miss Allen?" Doctor Nakamura asked.

"No, no." Riley smiled. "You've done wonderful to help my mother. Thank you."

"It is our pleasure to help," Doctor Mandara said.

When all the doctors left, Riley talked to Renee. She eagerly said, "Mom, did you hear that? You are going to get better. When you can walk. We can travel the world!"

"I - want - talk - Brian," Renee insisted.

Riley shook her head. She answered, "No, he and his lover are like a deadly disease. It's best to stay away from them. There is nothing more to talk about. I have already signed the divorce papers."

In her effort to introduce Adrian, she said, "Soon, I'll meet someone better."

'I hope he is better,' Riley mused, thinking about Adrian.

Renee's brown eyes stared at Riley woefully. They were brimming with tears. Her voice was soft as she asked, "You sure?"

Riley embraced her mother and said, "I'm certain, Mom. You are all I need. I love you. So, let's not talk about Brian anymore, please."

With a sigh of surrender, Renee responded weakly, "Okay. I'm sorry. Love you."

"I love you too, Mom," Riley responded.

In the evening, Adrian came to fetch her. He no longer entered the ICU, but that was fine. Riley has yet to inform her mother about Adrian and their marriage plans. Moreover, Renee was fast asleep.

Soon, Riley was inside Adrian's car. Like always, Clint was driving, and they were in the backseat. Riley smiled at Adrian and asked, "Which restaurant are we going to?"

She had gotten used to having late-night dinners with Adrian in the past few nights. She assumed it was all the same that day.

"Home," Adrian responded, surprising Riley.

"Home?" Riley raised a brow, questioning him.

Adrian's gray eyes stared at her intently, and he said in his deep voice, "Today is the day that you are going to live with me, Remember? We will get your luggage first, and then we can have dinner at my house."

"Oh." Riley's lips rounded. She turned to Clint and remembered how it was a Sunday!

"Are your bags ready?" Adrian asked.
