Chapter 2886
"Who do you think you're fooling, playing the saint? Is this the act you put on to snare Nolan in the
first place? Let me tell you, he might be clueless, but I see right through you. Stop pretending with
me. You're just jealous, aren't you?
I've known him for years. And you? You've been around for what, a few months? You don't know a
thing about him. What gives you the right to be with him? You're not even in his league!â
Nolan stepped in sharply, âDahlia, sheâs my wife, and I won't allow you to speak to her that way.â
His brow was furrowed, his demeanor stern, which brought tears streaming down Dahliaâs face.
âYou've never been harsh with me before, and now you're yelling at me for her? Oh, my head is
pounding. Call the doctor, quick!"
Regina, flustered by Dahliaâs apparent discomfort, stammered, âNolan, she...â
"Go get the doctor now, and don't panic,â he instructed calmly.
Regina hurried out after pressing the call button, summoning the nurse, who arrived swiftly. After a
quick check that revealed no bleeding at the wound site, the nurse chided them both, âThe patient
needs rest and minimal emotional stress. Whatever your issues are, they can wait until sheâs more
stable. We have other patients to attend to; we can't devote all our time to you two.â
Regina apologized profusely, âI'm so sorry. It wasn't intentional, and we'll make sure it doesn't
happen again. Please, go attend to your other duties.â
Dahlia kept silent, her earlier claim of dizziness a ploy to gain the upper hand w couple. After the
scolding, she didnât make a peep.
But admitting that Nolan and Regina were married was still a bitter pill for her to s
"Just leave, both of you. I don't need anyone here. Let me be alone.â
Nolan initially stood to leave, but Dahliaâs spiteful words held him back. In the end, he made a
decision. âRegina and I will head out now. I've contacted Sienna. She said she make time to look
after you.â
With that, he took Regina's hand, and they left the room, Regina glancing back with
concern.
No sooner had they stepped out than the sound of a shattering glass echoed behind them. The
nurse rushed back in, clearly beyond frustrated.
Despite Dahliaâs complaints of dizziness, the nurse firmly reprimanded her, âThis is a hospital, not
your house. If you want to throw a tantrum, I can discharge you right now, and you can take it
elsewhere!â

"We can't just leave her alone in the hospital, can we?â Regina asked, second-guessing their
departure
She admitted that her harsh words were partly to provoke Dahlia, but seeing her alone in the
hospital bed softened her heart.
Nolan exhaled silently, the compassionate journalist in Regina resurfacing. âWe'll just stay nearby
until her agent arrives. Then we'll leave. If anything happens in the meantime, we're close enough to
get back quickly.â
Regina smiled, relieved. âThat way, she won't get upset seeing us, which isn't good for her recovery
anyway.â
As they sat down together, the tension between them eased. Regina, feeling braver, was tempted to
ask Nolan the question that had been nagging at her.
âNolan...â
