My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 465

Chapter 465

Sienna did not know what was wrong with her. A ridiculous thought had emerged in her head. Will Dixon be attracted to Ashlyn too?

A second later, she denied her own thoughts. Impossible. Dixon despises Ashlyn. To the Haddock Group, Ashlyn was a threat. She had destroyed one of the connections that the Haddock Group had, and Haddock Group had suffered a tremendous loss. How could he possibly fall for Ashlyn?

Upon such a thought, Sienna heaved a sigh of relief.

“We’ll start sharp, at nine in the morning,” Ashlyn answered, expressionless.

At that moment, she took out a piece of paper from her folder. “These are the necessities for his post- surgery recovery. You have to prepare all of these for him.”

Generally, a nurse would be the one who would have to inform them about such details.

However, as she had a copy with her right then, she decided to hand it over to Dixon.

Sienna hurriedly accepted it and thanked her.

“I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” At that, Ashlyn retreated to her office.

She had no plans of inviting the two into her office at all.

Dixon stared at the closed office door for a while.

Then, he turned to walk out of the building.

Sienna had just lifted her foot, about to follow after him, when nausea rushed up to her throat. She quickly covered her mouth and ran past Dixon, straight towards the restroom at the end of the corridor.

Dixon froze, as his eyes followed her running form.

In the next second, he hurried after her.

In the women’s restroom, Sienna gripped the edge of the sink as she started retching.

“Ugh—”

Upon seeing her discomfort, Dixon raised his hand to gently pat her back. He asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you vomiting?”

Sienna sucked in a breath before taking a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth.

Crushing the tissue in her hand, she forced herself to calm down. Tucking her emotions away, she raised her head to look at Dixon. “Maybe my stomach was upset.”

Dixon stared at her coldly. “If you don’t feel well, you might as well do a checkup since we’re in the hospital.”

Sienna’s face was pale, and her throat was dry. “There’s no need for that. I’ll just take some medicine later.”

“Sienna, are you challenging my patience?” Dixon abruptly slammed his palm on the wall and pinned her between him and the sink. He scowled, “Why do you look so pale? Have you done something wrong?”

Dixon’s intense stare sent shivers down her spine. She plastered a smile onto her face and answered, “No. How can that be true? You know everything that goes on within the company. Without your permission, I wouldn’t have done anything. If I’d made a mistake, you would’ve fired me long ago.”

Sienna was afraid of Dixon.

Terrified, even.

It was a fear that had consumed her.

Dixon could feel Sienna’s trembling body.

He retracted his arm to press his lips onto hers. “Aunt Sienna, are you afraid of me?”

“I-I’m not.” The smile remained on Sienna’s face, but waves of terror were crashing onto her.

If Dixon discovered that she was pregnant, she would be doomed.

“You’re not pregnant, are you?” Dixon looked downwards at Sienna’s still-flat stomach.

His words struck her like a bolt from the blue, and she found herself rooted to the ground.

Tensing up, she looked at Dixon, face drained of color. In a determined tone, she replied, “No. How could I possibly be pregnant?”

Dixon was wearing a black suit today, and it suited him to the T; the suit complemented his feminine looks, making him appear dangerous.

“Aunt Sienna, I hope that you’re not hiding anything from me. Otherwise… I’m sure that you’re familiar with my style.”

Sienna shuddered as she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

“That’s impossible. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Dixon reached out to grab her chin. “You’d better not.”

Keeping the panic away from her face, Sienna muttered, “Dad’s surgery is happening soon. Let’s hurry.”

As Arthur had multiple fractures on his body, the surgery lasted five hours.
