After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

While Selena was at the Cooper residence, she accidentally burned herself and had to be taken to the hospital.

After getting her wound treated, she stepped out of the treatment room only to see a group of people hurriedly pushing a hospital bed through the hallway. Following closely behind were none other than Terence and Daisy. What were they doing here?

Selena's eyes flickered with surprise. She instinctively stepped out of their line of sight, keeping to the side. Although she was standing nearby and easily noticeable, neither Terence nor Daisy paid her any attention. Their entire focus was on the person on the bed. Selena pressed her lips together and glanced toward the hospital bed. Her eyes widened in shock as the person lying on it came into view. It was Jolie!

Jolie was face down, her back covered in blood. Her clothes were stuck to her wounds, the sight both chaotic and horrifying.

What happened?

How could Jolie be so seriously injured?

"What's going on?"

Aaron's voice broke through her daze. He had walked up beside her, noticing her stunned expression as she stared at the scene ahead.

Selena turned to him. "I just saw someone I know."

"Do you want to go over and say hello?" Aaron asked.

A complicated look flickered in Selena's eyes. "Not yet. I want to figure out what happened to her first."

Aaron nodded. "I'll take care of it."

"Alright," Selena replied, grateful.

Aaron pulled out his phone and made a call, then gently guided Selena out of the hospital.

Soon after, Aveline called, her voice anxious. "How bad is it? Are you seriously hurt?"

"It's nothing major," Selena reassured her. "Just a minor burn. A couple of days with some ointment, and I'll be fine."

Aveline sighed in relief. "You scared me to death!"

Selena chuckled softly. "Don't worry, it's just a superficial injury. By the way, I saw Jolie at the hospital."

"Jolie?" Aveline sounded startled. "What's she doing there?"

Selena frowned. "I don't know either. Her back was covered in blood-it looked serious."

Aveline asked, "Did you go to see her?"

"No," Selena replied, shaking her head slightly. "They were there."

Aveline immediately understood who she was referring to.

Instead, she said, "Which hospital are you at? I can find someone to help you get more information."

"No need," Selena said. "Aaron's already looking into it."

"Ah, good," Aveline responded with relief.

Just then, Aaron returned and relayed the information. "I found out. It's a case of severe whip wounds across her back. She passed out from excessive blood loss." "Whip wounds?" Selena's eyes widened in shock.

Aveline, who overheard, sounded equally stunned. "What? Whip wounds? How could that happen? Who would do such a thing?"

Selena remained silent for a moment.

Who could hurt Jolie?RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Jolie was the cherished daughter of

the Quin family-gentle, polite, elegant, and charming. She was the kind of person who rarely made enemies. The only ones who might lay a hand on her were... her own family.

Aveline suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I heard she announced her relationship with the heir of the Moore family at her birthday party last night. Could it be related to that?"

Selena blinked in surprise. "She's dating someone? What about her and Gavin?" Aveline fell quiet for a moment, the complexity of the situation dawning on her.

It seemed they'd all assumed there was something between Jolie and Gavin. But now, Jolie had publicly declared a boyfriend—and it wasn't Gavin. And not long after, she ended up beaten and hospitalized.

This... was impossible to figure out.

Aveline finally said, "Selena, if you're really worried about her, maybe you should find someone to dig into what happened. You might be able to help her."
