Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Fainted

L’Opera Restaurant.

After receiving Anna’s message, Cierra quickly got out of the car. Regardless of who she bumped into on the road, she hurried to find Draven in the private room given by Ryan. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It usually took her ten minutes to walk there, but now she arrived within three minutes. Ignoring etiquette, she pushed the door open and walked in.

The two people in the private room heard the noise and looked over, only to see Cierra holding onto the door, panting heavily.

“Draven.”

She ran so fast that she couldn’t even speak clearly when she suddenly stopped. After a long time, only his name was revealed.

Draven glanced at her indifferently. Seeing that she didn’t respond, he continued to take a sip of the tea on the table.

He looked as if he were about to tell her to get lost.

On the contrary, Ryan came over to help her up. “What’s the matter, Cici? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Cierra was out of breath and her legs were sore. When Ryan’s hand reached out, she supported it with all her strength to ease her painful breathing.

She hadn’t run so fast for a long time, as if she had experienced another 800-meter body test in the school. She didn’t get used to it for a while, and even her lungs hurt badly when she took a breath.

“If you can’t tell me why, get out of here.”

At some point, Draven turned to look at them. When his eyes fell on their hands, his face darkened.

Ryan was very dissatisfied with his attitude. “Hey, Draven, didn’t you see that Cici is already like this? It’s fine if you don’t pour her a glass of water to rest, but why are you talking in such atone?”

Draven thought, “What kind of tone was that?

“What kind of tone should I use?

“Didn’t she say that they were divorced and had nothing to do with each other? Why did she come

back now?”

Draven was angry with Ryan. “If you don’t want to stay, you can get out of here with her.”

Ryan was about to lose his temper, but he was stopped by Cierra before he could finish his sentence.

Cierra grabbed his sleeve and gave him a look to stop him.

Fortunately, Ryan was obedient. He didn’t say anything and just raised his arm to support Cierra. He even controlled the distance very well.

In the end, Cierra stopped supporting herself with his hand. When her legs were no longer sore, Cierra withdrew her hand and looked up at Draven.

“I won’t stay any longer. Anna called and said that Mrs. Trevino fainted in the hospital today. She couldn’t get through to you, so she called me. That’s why I came to you. If you don’t have anything

more important now, go to the hospital quickly. I’ll get you some pastries from the kitchen for dinner. If you does mind, you can ask Ryan to buy some food for you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Draven didn’t respond, so she became a little anxious. “Draven, Anna didn’t say anything specific on the phone. I only heard that she was very anxious. Hurry up and go over.”

There weren’t many people in the Trevino family now, except for Draven, the only son. Even though Sue had relatives, they couldn’t come here because she was married off from a big family in Washington D.C.. Only Draven could be there.

However, Draven was still unhurried. He got down from the dining table calmly and strolled over

slowly.

“You’re in a hurry. People who don’t know the truth might think she’s your mother.”

Draven walked up to Cierra and paused for a moment. His deep eyes were filled with sarcasm as he said, “Didn’t you say that we had nothing to do with each other? What are you doing here now? Are you pretending to be kind?”

“Draven, what’s wrong with you?” Ryan couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help asking.

Cierra pursed her lips and closed her eyes wearily.

She didn’t expect Draven to mention this at this time. She had wasted so much time talking.

Just as Ryan was about to say something, Cierra took a step forward and stood in front of him, looking up at Draven.

“Draven, can you put aside your childish logic first? Mrs. Trevino is in a coma now. Let’s get down to business first, okay? Go to the hospital and see how she is doing. If you think what I said before is wrong and I shouldn’t give up the friendship of more than 20 years, let’s argue about it after we come back from the hospital, okay?”

Draven looked down at her.

Perhaps because she had just run over, her lips were very dry. At this moment, her voice was weak and tired. She did not have the arrogance to scold him at all.

She thought, “Good-for-nothing.”

After waiting for a long time, Cierra didn’t get a response. Just as she was about to speak, someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her out. He said to Ryan, “I’m leaving now. You stay here and eat. Call a taxi later.”

Ryan stood rooted to the spot.

After a while, Ryan came to his senses and hurriedly caught up with her. He swore, “Can’t I go with you?”

Cierra’s legs were still sore after being dragged away. She was almost dragged forward by Draven, as if she had been pulled forward by someone when she had run 800 meters.

She couldn’t stand it anymore. “Draven, can you slow down? Or can you let go of me? I’m very

uncomfortable to be held like this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Draven loosened his grip.

Cierra’s legs went weak, directly falling forward.

However, the moment she fell, she was pulled up by a strong force from her waist.

She stood up straight and met Draven’s dark eyes.

“Didn’t you urge me to go to the hospital and take a look? Now you’re telling me to slow down. Why did you ask for so much?” As Draven spoke, he loosened his grip. When Cierra stood still, he

withdrew his indifference.

Cierra lowered her head to look at the time. She was a bit conflicted. “Why don’t you go with Ryan? I

won’t go.”

—

In fact, she should go and have a look. After all, Mrs. Trevino was her elder. Even though she had divorced Draven, she couldn’t cut off all ties with Mrs. Trevino. Moreover, Anna had just called her. It wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t go and visit Mrs. Trevino.

But William will be here soon.

She didn’t dare to look into Draven’s eyes. “You hurry up. I’ll visit Mrs. Trevino tomorrow morning. It’s not a good time to visit her.”

She used etiquette as an excuse. Generally speaking, one would visit his relatives and friends in the morning.

Draven sneered. “But, Cierra, didn’t you say that you would argue about my logic when we came back from the hospital?”

Cierra was speechless.

Before she could say anything, she was dragged away again. But this time, she was not dragged by the wrist, but by the collar.

She suspected that if she had been a little lighter, she would have been lifted up by Draven.

Fortunately, after getting out of L’Opera Restaurant, he was not as rude as before. Draven just pushed her forward. Considering that her legs were short, he walked forward unhurriedly.

Cierra didn’t feel like she was being pushed too slowly. Ryan, who was following behind her, couldn’t stand it anymore. “Draven, can’t you be more normal? If you kept doing like this, Mrs. Trevino might had been discharged from the hospital when you arrived.”

“Isn’t that better?”

He was really not in a hurry. After opening the back door, he stuffed Cierra into the car first and then threw the car key to Ryan. It was obvious what he meant.

Being forced to get in the car, Cierra said in a low voice, “It’s indeed better to be discharged from the hospital, but it’s impossible. We’d better hurry up.”

Draven glanced at her coldly and sneered, “I’m not a doctor. Can I save Mrs. Trevino’s life if I rush over?”
