Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 422

She said, "Everett, let's head home."

Everett looked at her, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He'd expected her to bring up Margot's situation, maybe start an argument or demand he handle it. But she said nothing about it, just expressed her wish to go home.

It felt so naturally warm and cozy.

His heart felt wrapped in a comforting warmth, pushing aside all those doubts and questions swirling in his mind. He spoke softly, picked up a blanket to tuck her in snugly, and scooped her up into his arms.

"Yeah, let's go home."

The deep, soothing tone of his voice filled Selena's ears. She could feel the tenderness and affection in Everett's words, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her cheek against his chest, snuggling into him contentedly.

In the hospital corridor, Callum and Dr. Carrillo stood side by side.

As Everett and Selena's figures gradually disappeared down the hall, Dr. Carrillo turned to Callum, his expression calm and composed, revealing no particular emotion.

They'd known each other for years, forming a bond that transcended their age difference. Yet, it was often Dr. Carrillo, despite his age, who displayed more emotion than the much younger Callum.

If not for his youthful and handsome looks, you might think he had the soul of someone much older.

It was only when it came to Selena that he showed a full spectrum of emotions.

With this in mind, Callum couldn't resist teasing him a little.

"Callum, Mrs. Bennett asked me to thank you for her," Dr. Carrillo said, though Everett and Selena had already disappeared, and Callum had just turned his attention back from them.

"Uh-huh," Callum replied, his face steady, meeting Dr. Carrillo's teasing look with a calm response.

But that wasn't the kind of answer Dr. Carrillo was fishing for. He continued, "But I told her she should thank you in person when she sees you. Though, what you probably need isn't her thanks."
