The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 325

A self-deprecating smirk touched Nora's lips. "That was just his duty as the Head of the Hayes Empire. I am Mrs. Hayes. He simply couldn't sit back and watch The Hayes Matriarch die right in front of him."

"Regardless of the reason."

"He saved my life, and I am grateful. But it doesn't change a single thing."

"Once this blows over, I am going to formally ask him for a divorce."

Nora's gaze was entirely resolute, radiating an absolute finality.

"No matter what pressure the Hayes family throws at me, no matter the cost, I will absolutely not stay."

The air in the hallway seemed to freeze entirely.

Less than thirty feet away, inside the VIP hospital room.

Hidden in the shadows behind the door, Gideon's tall, imposing figure stood frozen in place.

Five minutes ago, he remembered Nora had only worn a thin professional suit today. He set down his tablet, picked up the coat she had left behind, and walked to the door, intending to hand it to her.

The moment his large, articulated hand clamped over the freezing metal handle, before he even had a chance to push down, the familiar sound of a conversation outside slipped through the crack and echoed crystal-clear in his ears.

Gideon maintained his posture, his hand completely paralyzing on the handle.

Divorce.

He narrowed his sharp, deep eyes as a terrifying storm of pure malice raged within his pitch-black pupils.

He thought she was completely done throwing her tantrums lately.
