CEO Is Chasing Ex-Wife Back

Chapter 181 She couldn't Leave

It didn't stop pouring and cars on the street began to slow down with their emergency flashers

operating

Zac was struggling to keep the car moving. Aurora glanced at him and suggested, "Why don't you

pull the car over and let me drive for a bit?"

She got concerned about her safety. Concerning Zac, it didn't cross her mind.

"I think I can handle this, " Zac insisted.

Aurora let out a sigh, straightened herself, and reminded him to be cautious about the space on the

road.

Zac didn't listen. He drove the car as fast as he could and rushed out.

Aurora gripped her seatbelt for safety concerns. After reckless driving through the downpour, they safely arrived at the villa.

Aurora dared to let down her guard when they approached the doorstep.

She could not hold her anger anymore, "Do you have any idea how dangerous it was? Why do you have to speed up while it is raining so hard? What the hell were you thinking!" An expression of fury appeared on her face. She slammed the car's door and rushed inside.

Alma was relieved to see them return home safely. She said, "I'm so glad you guys come home safely. I got worried about you guys driving on a rainy day."

Aurora forced a smile at Alma's words.

Zac was not there when the dinner was ready.

Aurora said something in a low voice and walked toward the car to see if he was there. The lights were on. She felt something went wrong.

She screamed, "Alma, come and help me!"

It seemed that Zac was in a coma. His eyebrows were tightly knitted and sweats covered his palms

and temples.

The family doctor arrived. Zac was lying there as if he was asleep.

"How long does Mr. Buchanna be like this?" the doctor asked.

"About half an hour," replied Alma. "Is it serious?" Alma asked concernedly.

Onc

"We don't know yet. Let him go to the hospital and do a thorough check."

Aurora stood beside him wearing a long face. She was planning to leave after he got his pills.

"Ms. Bennet, why don't you stay?" Alma called out to her.

"Well, even if I stay, I can do nothing for him. Besides, I think he will be fine,"Aurora replied as she

put on her coat.

Alma wanted Aurora to stay but it was hard to come up with a possible reason. She hesitantly said, "What should I do if his condition gets serious in the middle of the night without you?"

"I think you should call Wenny for help. I didn't sign up for this," Aurora said.

Aurora came here not for him but to visit Alma, who was discharged from the hospital today.

Sensing the disappointment on Alma's face, she got regretful about her tone.

A noise came from outside when they were discussing.

"Who would come in the late of the night. Let me go out and see. Ms. Bennet, please keep an eye on him while I am away."

Aurora had no choice but to stay for a while.

Her cold eyes were fixated on the man in the bed, her mind was wondering whether she would be charged with murder if he suddenly stopped breathing in the room.

It was a luminous night. The room they were in was quiet and peaceful.

Aurora couldn't remember when was the last time she looked at him like this.

There were a lot of people talking in the living room downstairs. They were asking about Mr. Buchanna's whereabouts.

Alma was convincing them to leave him alone.

"We won't leave if we can't see him face to face," one man said.

Another man cut in, "Let us see him. We have questions about his decision on the Cosmos Group!"

Aurora glanced at the living room through the crack of the door.

Several board members were sitting on the couch with furious countenances. It seemed like they wouldn't leave that easily.

"We have to meet Mr. Buchanna in person, don't push us to leave," they confirmed.

"It is so weird. We saw his car just now. Where did he disappear?" someone said. Aurora frowned.

It became clear to her now why he drove the car hurriedly.

She closed the door cautiously.

In that instance, a figure appeared behind her.

Zac looked at her, lowering his head. He held the door and whispered, "Don't go outside." Aurora dismissed his words, "Why not? They are looking for you, not me. I have nothing to hide."

"I know, but think about me." There was a hint of compromise in his voice. His hands fell on her shoulders, heavy and hot.

She found it too heavy to endure and leaned back.

She hit herself on the wall and let out a painful sigh.

She was about to blame him but she couldn't. He was pale and weak.

Aurora gritted her teeth and said some cursing words in a low voice. She tried to put him into bed.

But he was holding her tight.

The only option here was to fall together.

"Zac, don't play dumb with me okay? I won't let you take advantage of me." Aurora closed her eyes

and came near to the bed.

They fell to the luxurious bed.

Aurora asked him, "You can go down to the bed, but can't move yourself to bed, can you?"

She knew he did it on purpose, but there was no reason to do so.

She thought it would be okay if she made her appearance to the board members.

From her perspective, she would declare the ownership of Cosmos Group which was equal to the

Bennet Group. And all these estates belong to the Bennet family.

She found it unreasonable to let others manage her own family business.

In the end, she thought better of it,

because once she picked some

quarrels with these people, it wol nét

be difficult to make the business

thrive again with Cosmos Group.

She thought, these people only care about money and their interest. If they get upset, they will do something heinous.

Is he aware of that?

Aurora freed herself from his arms with effort.

She frowned again, stared at Zac who was lying on the bed, and said, "You are a game player."

She made her pace toward the bathroom.

He heard the noise of the bathroom and opened his eyes, which were desperate and cold.

He glanced in the direction of the bathroom, and he was relieved to know she was not away.

No one knew the fact that he transferred the Cosmos Group to Aurora. He wondered why the board members came to him.

Aurora came out of the bathroom. Zac was lying on the bed half-conscious. People downstairs had

no signs of leaving.

She sighed in frustration at the fact that she probably wouldn't be able to leave tonight.

She shifted her attention to the man on the bed. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have put in so much effort to move him onto the bed. She should have thrown him on the ground so that she

could sleep on the bed now.

Aurora sat on the couch, but it was not comfortable to lie down.

She had no other options. Besides, she was exhausted and fell asleep instantly.

When she woke up it was a new day.

Aurora rubbed her sore neck and got up. There was no one on the bed. She covered herself with a blanket, which was covered with the same smell as the room.

Aurora opened the door and detected the voice coming from downstairs.

She found out that a woman was standing in the living room instead of these board members.

Wenny is here? She kept wondering.

She stood on the stairs and looked down. It was Wenny. She was wearing a nude-colored dress. Her

hair was pulled up. Her outfit was nothing like her usual self.

Instead...

It was more like the way Aurora dressed up in the past.

Aurora narrowed her eyes and just stood there, observing.

Wenny didn't put any make-up on, and she looked not as glamorous as before, but her skin was

white as crystal. Her eyes were smiling while she put the soup on the table.

"My father told me you have been busy lately and encouraged me to take care of you. I thought I might be helpful in your efforts," Wenny said.

Zac kept an expressionless face and said, "I remember your father said no to our wedding."
