Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 461

Abriella’s voice cut through the fog. “Emmy, you’re awake?”

A second later, she practically shouted, panic flooding her words. “Doctor! Doctor! Someone, help!”

Everything around Emmy spun and faded in and out. It wasn’t until she spotted Abriella running over that the dizziness finally started to ease up.

Abriella rushed to her side and grabbed her wrist like it was the only thing keeping her afloat. Her breathing was shaky, but holding on seemed to help her calm down.

“Emmy, are you okay? Please don’t scare me like that,” she said, her voice trembling and thick with tears.

A doctor hurried in, checked Emmy over, and frowned. “She’s suffered a lot of shock. It’s a stress reaction from feeling unsafe.”

“She might have hallucinations for a while. Don’t leave her alone—keep her company and she’ll get through it.”

Abriella’s eyes went red with guilt. She pulled Emmy into a hug, her voice breaking. “I’m so sorry, Emmy. I swear, as long as I’m here, I won’t leave you again.”

She was furious at herself. If she hadn’t stepped out to answer that call last time, none of this would have happened—Emmy never would’ve been taken to some nightmare corner of South America.

And now, even after her cousin begged her to keep watch, she’d left just for a moment while Emmy slept… and look what happened.

Emmy, finally calm, realized the gunshots she’d heard were all in her head.

Her heart finally settled.

She gently pushed Abriella back, swallowing against the dryness in her throat. Her voice was rough.

“I’m fine now, Abriella.”

She paused, then asked the one thing on her mind. “Where’s James?”

Abriella let go and explained quickly, “He had urgent army business. He left early this morning.”

“He asked me to bring you your phone and your safe—said you’d probably need them.”

“He also said you should stay here and rest for a few days, and when he’s done with work, he’ll come get you and take you back to the city for the weekend.”

The doctor had left, so it was just the two of them.

Emmy glanced at the table nearby.

Her phone was there, next to a silver safe.

Inside was the system she needed for the AI International Competition.

She tossed off the covers and hurried over, checking the keypad to make sure nobody had tampered with it.
