Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 32

Business had delayed his return, so he arrived in the country after Lily. The moment his plane landed and he heard she was hospitalized, he rushed over in a panic.

"Miles!" Lily broke into a radiant smile when she saw him.

Miles set his suitcase aside and closed the distance. "What happened? Shouldn't you be more careful now that you're pregnant?"

Lily laughed softly. "I'm fine. I just got a little scare. A bit of rest is all I need."

Miles furrowed his brow. "Who scared you?"

Lily kept smiling, acting coy. "Oh, no one. Stop frowning, it ruins your handsome face."

In the adjacent bed, Hunter woke up needing to use the bathroom. He sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and when he saw Miles, he immediately started pouting and tattling.

"Dad, I know who did it! It was that wicked witch! She yelled at Lily."

"Wicked witch?" Miles glanced at Xavier.

Xavier pinched the bridge of his nose. "He means Summer."

Hunter huffed. "So the witch is named Summer! She tried to scare me, too. Dad, you have to get payback for me and Lily!"

Lily shot him a look of mock reproach. "Hunter, don't talk about a lady like that. It's not polite."

"She's a witch, not a lady."

Xavier's phone buzzed again. He glanced at the screen, then patted Miles on the shoulder. "Since you're here, keep an eye on Lily. Something's come up, and I need to head back to the estate."

As he spoke, he answered the call, looked at Lily, and after she gave him a reassuring nod, he stepped out of the room.
