Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 2675: Chapter 148: Recovery from Illness

"Miss Wellington, you’re awake..."

The girl beside her was the first to notice Molly Wellington open her eyes. She smiled and handed over a glass of water.

"Miss Wellington, you’ve slept for so long, you must be thirsty. Drink some water."

Molly Wellington was helped up by the girl, took the cup, and said ’thank you.’

Her throat was indeed very dry and thirsty, and the liquid brought ample relief.

Feeling that her throat was no longer as sore, she instinctively asked.

"How long have I slept? Who are you, and why are you in my room..."

The man standing beside the girl spoke up, "I am Redington Young Master’s personal doctor, and this is my assistant. You’ve been unconscious for three days, and during that time you repeatedly had a high fever. However, this morning, your fever has completely subsided. It seems to be a sign of recovery."

She had actually been asleep for three days and three nights?

It was only now that Molly Wellington remembered, in her last memory, she was pulled into the swimming pool by Stella Brown.

When she fell into the swimming pool, she remembered sinking into endless darkness, just like when she was a child.

But at that moment, it seemed... it seemed she saw someone appear.

Abraham Redington, was it him?

Just as Molly Wellington wanted to ask more clearly, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

It turned out to be Ray Mckinley who came in.

Ray Mckinley pushed the door open and, upon seeing the newly awakened Molly Wellington, couldn’t help but show a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

The astonishment wasn’t because of Molly Wellington’s awakening, but it carried a kind of avoidance, but was quickly covered up again.

Ray Mckinley forced a smile, "Secretary Wellington, it’s great that you’re awake..."

Molly Wellington nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Mckinley, I already know, this is Redington Young Master’s personal doctor, thank you for having them come to take care of me."

"..." Ray Mckinley’s lips twitched slightly, seemingly wanting to say something.

But when faced with Molly Wellington’s almond-shaped eyes full of inquiry, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Ray Mckinley put on a professional smile, "Secretary Wellington, you’re being too kind, we’re all partners. It’s good that your fever has gone down, these days, it’s... thanks to Dr. Cooper and his assistant for taking care of you. Your condition is stable now, so I’ll see Dr. Cooper out first."

Dr. Cooper, standing calmly to the side, nodded in farewell to Molly Wellington.

But the young assistant beside him had a strange expression, repeatedly wanting to speak, but each time was stopped by Dr. Cooper’s gaze.

Molly Wellington, having just awakened, didn’t notice the oddity of those around her, only weakly bidding farewell to the two of them.

After Ray Mckinley sent them out, she couldn’t help but put down the water glass.

Reaching out, she touched the empty space beside her.

She always felt that on the empty bed next to her... there was a familiar presence.

Molly Wellington vaguely remembered that when she was in a state of chaos, she held onto a halo of light.

It was under the cover of that halo of light that she gradually, gradually felt at peace.

Or was it that the halo of light, along with the figure she saw in a daze the moment she fell into the water, was all an illusion?

After sending the personal doctor off, Ray Mckinley came to visit Molly Wellington again.

It wasn’t just Ray Mckinley; Johnson Williams and other colleagues from the company also came.

But for some reason, Molly Wellington always felt that these people looked a little different than before.

Some showed fear when looking at her, others envy, and some jealousy.

But no matter what kind of expression it was, it seemed that everyone had secrets hidden in their faces, as if deliberately concealing something.

Even Johnson Williams’s gaze was contemplative and extremely uneasy when looking at her.

The next day, she felt that she had mostly recovered and, not wanting to think too much, got out of bed to start working again.

Who knew that as soon as she reached the door of the conference room, she heard Stella Brown’s voice coming from inside —

"Secretary Wellington is well, I wonder when she’ll resign..."
