The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 84

Sebastian’s finger had just brushed the phone screen when a knock sounded at the hospital room door.

Dylon and Rosie stood together at the threshold, faces still stiff with leftover anger. But the second they saw Sebastian inside, their scowls vanished, replaced by eager, almost desperate smiles.

“Reese, are you okay?” Dylon’s eyes darted over Reese’s pale face before flicking to Sebastian. “Mr. Ratcliff, what happened? Why did Reese faint all of a sudden?”

Sebastian absently rubbed his phone with his thumb. “The security footage just came through.”

“I want to know what happened too. Maybe we should step outside and take a look?”

Dylon hesitated, glancing at Rosie. She gave the tiniest nod, so he followed Sebastian out toward the smoking area.

Sebastian lit a cigarette, pulled up the footage, and held his phone out to Dylon.

The video showed Sofia had arrived at BlackOak a little after ten. When cries for help came from the lab, Sofia ignored it. She didn’t use her iris scan to open the door. Instead, she turned and hit the emergency power cutoff.

Sebastian stared at Sofia’s retreating figure on the screen, Robbie’s warning echoing in his mind. His eyes narrowed.

Was Sofia really trying to kill Reese?

If that was true, then just now...

Sebastian leaned against the wall, took a long drag, and called Brady. His voice was low and tense. “Bring Sofia to the hospital.”

Dylon’s lips twitched in a half-smile. Sebastian’s reaction told him everything. “Mr. Ratcliff, you can’t let her get away with this. Reese deserves justice.”

Sebastian didn’t answer. He just looked at Dylon. “How do you plan to handle shorting Ramos Corporation for the Eastside project?”

Dylon froze, rubbing his hands together awkwardly. “That was just… to help Ms. Meyer get the house…”

Catching Sebastian’s cold stare, he quickly added, “But Reese is my niece. I’ll make it up to her.”

Back in the hospital room, Rosie watched them leave, quietly closed the door, and sat beside Reese, her voice barely a whisper.

“Reese, why were you so reckless with the baby?”

“Tara found out and called the doctor in time. That’s why he said the baby was lost because of the accident. Do you think Sebastian would forgive you if he knew the truth?
