hapter 3 The hospital hallway was packed with Ryan's teammates , all red eyed and glaring at me with barely contained fury . Some turned avery to punch walls rather than look at me . I walked past them with steady steps into the hospital room . Ryan lay ghostly pale against the white sheets , but managed a reassuring smile when he saw me . Hey , don't look so scared . I'm fine - just caught a bullet , no big deal . I'll be back on my feet soon . " He reached out trying to take my hand , but I stepped back . Officer Diego couldn't contain himself any longer , his tone vicious : " Just sign the damn forms already ! If we don't get him into surgery soon , Detective Rodriguez could die . " I gave him a cold glance and pulled out the divorce papers from my bag . Tm not signing any medical consent . If you want to stay alive , sign this divorce agreement and make your parents your primary emergency contacts . " " You- ! " Diego's temple veins bulged as he lunged forward , looking ready to tear me apart before other officers held him back . I swept my gaze over their varying expressions of disgust . Using my own husband's life to threaten him into divorce - they'd probably never seen a more vicious woman . Ryan's expression shifted through multiple emotions before he finally closed his eyes , voice hoarse . All this because I spent one night watching over Lily ? " Under the weight of looks that could kill , I answered flatly . Yes . Because you spent last night with Lily Sinclair . " Suddenly someone grabbed my shirt collar from behind , yanking me backward . When I saw who it was , Ryan tried desperately to sit up before collapsing back in pain . Lily , don't touch her . " Lily Sinclair was covered in dried blood , her previously swollen belly now deflated , looking unnaturally weak . If you hate me , I'll disappear from your life forever . But Ryan's injury can't wait - without surgery he'll lose his leg . " " I already owe Ryan everything . If he becomes disabled because of me , I'll never forgive myself . " A short - haired woman helped the sobbing Lily to her feet , eyes blazing as she stared at me . I recognized her - Officer Diana , the only woman on Ryan's team . " Why the hell did Detective Rodriguez marry such a selfish , stupid bitch ? He's out there risking his life for strangers and all you care about is your petty relationship drama . " 13:40 Tven if he WAS heating , ind he becker you drove her to m That's when I learned the truth if Rysn hadn't been protecting Lily's unborn baby , he could've easily avoided that bullet . 1 let not a bimes laugh and whirled on Ryan You told me you'd handed Lily duty off to other officers . So why were you with her today ? " Ryan , you're so protective of Lily - is that baby actually yours ? " Victoria Rran's temple throbbed as his hand connected with my face in a sharp slap , the force splitting my lip . I spat out blood expressionlessly . " Ryan ! How could you hit Victoria ! " His parents rushed in just in time to see me bleeding , immediately shielding me . Ryan was breathing hard , eyes wild . " She can scream at me , hit me , whatever . But she will NOT disrespect a fallen officer's widow . " His parents stared at me in shock as I lifted my chin defiantly . " Hit a nerve , did I ? " " Running to Lily's place every night , staying until dawn - don't tell me nothing happened . " Lily's sobs hitched for just a moment , her eyes flickering with something guilty before she wailed even louder , threatening to " die with the baby . " The room erupted in chaos . If Ryan's parents hadn't been protecting me , countless fists would've been flying . But I didn't flinch , holding up the divorce papers and slamming them against Ryan's face . " If you don't sign these divorce papers right now , I can come up with plenty more scandalous rumors about you and Lily . Wonder if her delicate constitution can handle it . " I've got all the time in the world to wait this out . Question is - can your hand ? " Ryan gritted his teeth but still wouldn't budge . His parents frantically gathered up the scattered papers , tears streaming . " You can't get divorced , Victoria ! We've seen how much Ryan loves you - divorce would kill him ! " The entire room was in chaos when Ryan finally spoke . I never betrayed you . This has to stay classified for Lily's protection , but I'll tell you the truth . " Despite everyone trying to stop him , Ryan said slowly : " Every time I went to check on Lily , I had three or four backup officers stationed around the area . Diana has all the duty rosters - you want to see them ? " " Look at the records , then drop this divorce bullshit . " I snorted . " Why wouldn't I want to see them ? " Diana's grip on her bag tightened as she reluctantly pulled out a folder under Ryan's intense stare . Sure enough , the sheets were covered with countless names . 13:40 Played the Perfect Housewife for 3 Years Then Revealed I'm FBI's Top Agent ! 33.39 Chapter 3 Ryan took the papers and was about to hand them to me when his face suddenly went ashen . Ignoring his injured arm , he sat up abruptly and frantically flipped through the duty roster . Finally , his expression dark and unreadable as he looked around the room , he said in a hoarse voice : " I agree to the divorce . Give me those papers . " Chapter Chapter 4
