I Refuse to Divorce! novel Chapter 109

Mason responded lightly after Ava was done talking.

“I’m coming over right now.”

However, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he touched Zoe’s cheek lightly. It wasn’t warm like before. In fact, it was rather cold.

He said in a deep voice, “I need to go to the hospital. You should go ahead and head to bed.”

Zoe stayed silent.

Grabbing his coat from the bed, he put it on and leaned down to touch her cheeks again before leaving.

It was a windy autumn night.

The moment he had left, she relaxed and started panting lightly.

It was a good thing Ava called when she did. Luckily, Mason had to leave because something happened to Lilith. Otherwise, she might’ve just given in to his tender moves and brought pain and misery to herself.

Sliding off the makeup table, she looked at both the business card as well as the diary and tucked them away.

All of her youthful memories were in that diary.

She might have hated Mason intensely, but never once had she thought to throw her diary away.

…

Lilith was still in the emergency room when Mason arrived at the hospital. Eric was standing at the door with a blank expression. Carly, on the other hand, was sitting on the floor, wailing at the top of her lungs.

She demanded to see the hospital director.

“Lilith was about to get married to Mason. If you guys won’t surrender the culprit, my future son-in-law is going to shut your hospital down! All of you will be out of jobs and end up on the street!”

Ava couldn’t stand her. Noticing that Mason was walking toward them, she yelled at Carly, “Mr. Mason’s here! Shut your trap unless you want him to pull the plug on Lilith’s treatment!”

Carly had always been an arrogant person, but she cowered the moment she saw Mason.

Bawling, she asked him to speak on her behalf, “Lilith saved your life, Mason. You have to do everything you can to return the favor! Please, I beg of you.”

That got Carly excited even more!

She grumbled, “There he is! His name’s Cecil. I can’t believe he’s in cahoots with Zoe to put my daughter in harm’s way. You had better look properly into your wife’s social activities, Mason. Don’t give her the chance to cheat on you.”

Carly had no inkling of how disastrous her action was.

Mason’s face was as dark as coal. Seeing Cecil reminded him of the sadness in Zoe’s eyes and the fact that his wife might love another man. He was also reminded of the fact that his wife had Liam’s business card and was plotting to divorce him!

Cecil approached him.

He looked at Mason and smiled sarcastically. “You're quite the busy man, Mason! You’re here to look after your mistress in the dead of night. Aren’t you worried that it might lead to a fight with your wife?”

Mason smacked his legs lightly. He smiled coldly and said, “I’m not like you, Cecil. I don't fool around with some other man's wife. You gave Zoe a homemade pizza and a ride home. I’m sure you were so pleased with how romantic you thought you were!”

Cecil tucked his hands in the pockets of his doctor's coat. Beneath the fluorescent light, he did look a lot like Mason.

After a brief pause, he said lightly, “That’s because you didn’t appreciate her!”
