My Bossy CEO Husband

He tried to sound confident, but even he wasnt sure of the truth.

Still, he couldnt let his father hear the uncertainty in his voice.

Brittons breathing grew audibly heavier on the other end.

After a moment, he asked, So, you didnt go abroad with Maggie? Youve been at the Moreno familys place this whole time? Yes, Sanford confirmed.

Brittons voice turned grim.

And your injury did it really happen because you shielded Brian from a bullet? Sanford hummed in agreement, his answer brief but heavy.

A beat of silence followed, broken only by the muffled sound of a woman crying in the background.

Sanford, what were you thinking? Janiyas voice broke through, trembling with both anguish and anger. Youre not invincible! How could you throw yourself in harms way Like that? Sanfords chest tightened at her words.

Mom, please dont cry, he said gently.

Its not as bad as it sounds.

My Legs will heal-its just a matter of time.

Janiya continued to cry and then asked, Since youve been staying at the Moreno family villa, did they hire a good doctor to treat your leg? Rosalynn has been giving me treatments, he replied.

Rosalynn? Brians wife? Does she even know what shes doing? This is crazy! Britton, you need to call the best doctors to handle this immediately! Janiya exclaimed.

Mom, Sanford interjected firmly, Rosalyn learned acupuncture from her grandfather, whos a renowned medical expert.

I trust her.

Acupuncture? Janiyas disbelief was evident.

Shes a designer, not a doctor! How can you trust something so unconventional to fix your legs? This is absurd! Her tone rose to a shriek.

Sanford frowned, sensing the underlying resentment in her tone.

His mother was already assigning blame, likely because his injury had occurred while he was assisting Rosalynn in rescuing Brian.

Janiya, calm down, Britton interjected, his tone firm.

Well discuss this in person.

Tomorrow, well visit the Moreno family. Sanford immediately tried to dissuade them.

Dad, theres no need for you to come.

Im fine here.

Fine? Do you think were going to take your word for it after youve been hiding this from us? Do you want to worry your father and me to death? How could you keep such a serious matter from us? Janiya snapped, her voice quivering with emotion.

Brittons tone brooked no argument.noveldrama

Sanford, inform the Moreno family well be there tomorrow.

And just like that, the decision was made.
