The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 765

“Your health is another matter entirely. No matter what, nothing is possible without it. You can’t use your own body to make a point.”

Clyde let out a shaky breath, though his gaze remained resolute. “I know my health is important, but I can’t let you get tangled up with him again just because of me.”

He paused, his eyes softening as he looked at Danielle. “Actually, when I drift off, I can vaguely tell he’s come by more than once. Each time he just stands outside the door, never coming in.”

Danielle’s heart clenched, her hand frozen on Clyde’s back.

She’d always assumed Alexander’s help was only behind the scenes. She never imagined he would come to the hospital himself, let alone wait outside her uncle’s room.

All those times she didn’t know about—what was he thinking as he stood outside the door?

Before Danielle could unravel her thoughts, Clyde spoke again, worry etched deep between his brows. “Danielle, listen to your uncle. Don’t get emotionally involved with him again.”

“Business is business, personal is personal. Don’t blur the lines. The only reason he helped me with resources is because you’re my niece. You’re the one who owes him.”

“I know exactly what kind of man Alexander is. He’s not easy to deal with. Tell me the truth: is he using this situation to make things difficult for you?”

Danielle lowered her gaze, her fingers curling slightly.

She thought back carefully on the past few weeks. Alexander had sometimes shown complicated emotions, but he’d never used her uncle’s illness to threaten her, nor asked for anything unreasonable.

All those initial tests, the consultations with specialists, even the rare medications—he’d arranged everything quietly, never once burdening her.

She looked up and met Clyde’s anxious eyes, her voice gentle. “Uncle, he hasn’t made things hard for me.”

“He’s been handling everything behind the scenes so I wouldn’t have to worry.”

Clyde’s frown deepened, obviously unconvinced. “Are you sure? Alexander never does anything that doesn’t benefit him. He must have some motive for helping us.”

“Uncle, I know you’re worried, but I’m not a child anymore. I know right from wrong.”

The room slipped into quiet again.

Danielle looked at her uncle’s pale profile, her emotions in turmoil.

She knew he only wanted what was best for her, but her entanglement with Alexander was far more complicated than anyone realized.

Why did Alexander linger outside the door so many times? Was it guilt, or did he have another agenda?

Danielle didn’t have the answer. All she knew was that a fog seemed to settle over her heart, obscuring everything ahead.

But she was certain of one thing: this wasn’t the time to get lost in doubts. Her uncle’s surgery was all that mattered now.

If staying involved with Alexander was the price for her uncle’s recovery, then so be it.
