Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 807

He lay beside her still, playing with her hair as he murmured, "But I do love seeing you so... spirited."

Feeling the heat radiating from his body, Vivian's muscles tensed. She bit down hard to suppress both her overwhelming disgust and the "get out" that threatened to escape her lips.

The crescent moon climbed higher as drifting clouds occasionally obscured its bright glow.

The servants, accustomed to Leon entering Vivian's room and staying the night, went about their duties without surprise or question.

To pass the tedious evening, Sarah had indulged in a few glasses of fruit wine.

Zachary, sitting close enough to catch the faint alcohol on her breath, spoke in a tone that brooked no argument. "I'm driving you home."

Sarah glanced at him and calmly accepted his offer.

A free ride was nothing to refuse—she wasn't stupid.

The drive home passed in comfortable silence, neither speaking.

Just as Zachary considered starting a conversation, a jarring ringtone shattered the quiet.

Zachary pressed his lips together and activated the car's speaker.

The caller was William's trusted aide, his voice frantic with urgency. "Mr. Reynolds, where are you? You need to get to the hospital immediately."

Zachary's expression tightened. "What happened? Did something happen to my grandfather?"

"Mr. William is in emergency surgery. Please come quickly, sir."

Zachary's brow furrowed instantly. Without hesitation, he yanked the steering wheel hard, executing a sharp U-turn toward the hospital.

Sarah had also heard about William being in emergency surgery. After a moment's thought, she offered gentle reassurance, "Try not to worry too much. I'm sure he will be fine."

His gaze snapped to Butler Ford, not softening one degree. "What did they want with my grandfather?"

Butler Ford’s face drained of color, his lips trembling. "I... I don't know."

"You don't know?" Zachary's voice turned deadly quiet.

Butler Ford closed his eyes, guilt heavy in his tone. "It was my negligence."

He should have stayed by William's side. Then none of this would have happened.

Sarah, who had remained silent, frowned slightly but kept her voice level. "It seems we'll only learn the truth when William wakes up."

Zachary said nothing, his expression locked in an icy mask that showed no signs of thawing.

Just then, the surgery room light went out.
