My Billionaire Husband

Detective Shields redirected his gaze at Antonette and yelled at her, "Which line?!"

However, Antonette was laughing hysterically now; it was all a game to her.

"Give up. I won't tell you."

The bomb ticked faster. Everyone was panicking, especially Diana. Since she had lost too much blood, she was pale and almost fell faint.

"It's a complicated one. I don't think we can solve it easily," the policeman said fearfully.

Diana struggled to support herself and said to Antonette, "Antonette, do you really want to die with us?"

Antonette wavered for a moment but steadied herself.

"It's okay. Since so many people will die with me, at least I won't be alone."

"You have tried so hard. Is death your final objective?"

Antonette hesitated again, encouraging Diana to try and persuade her again.

"You have tried your best to get your dream life since you were young. Do you really want to die with us today?"

"Detective Shields, only thirty seconds are remaining!" the policeman cried out.

But Diana refused to give up. She had a daughter now who was waiting for her at home.

Time was disappearing fast when suddenly Antonette shouted, "The red one!"

The policeman cut the red line as soon as Antonette shouted. The ticking disappeared, and the timer stopped… at 0.01 seconds.

"Diana! Diana!" Brian called her name worriedly but got no answer. Looking at her pale expression, Brian lifted her up in his arms and rushed out.

Detective Shields took out his handcuffs and arrested Antonette. She was totally gone now, her mind lost within herself. She was taken to the police car without any struggle.

Brian ran to his car, holding Diana, while Ken followed close behind. Ken jumped into the driver's seat, started the car, and sped off to the hospital.

When they arrived, Ken offered to carry Diana so that Brian could have a rest. But Brian refused. He took Diana straight to the emergency department himself.

Since it was at night, there were not so many doctors and nurses in the emergency department. And the nurse on duty was not overly professional. She had a glance at Brian, and with an uncaring tone, asked, "What's the matter?"

Brian was angered by her attitude.

"Take me to the doctor!" He roared.

The nurse was frightened by him and led him to the doctor.

Diana was taken into the ward, while Brian could only sit outside worrying.

Brian rushed to him.

"How is she?"

"What is the relationship between you and the woman?" the doctor asked.

"I'm her husband," Brian answered without hesitation.

"Okay, well, there's no need to worry; it's nothing serious. The wound isn't deep. She is a bit hypoglycemic, which explains her symptoms. Take her home to rest for a few days, she will be fine."

After that, the doctor left.

Brian was hugely relieved. He walked into Diana's room to see her, but she was still sleeping. Looking at her peaceful face, Brian was full of regret.

"I'm so sorry, Diana, I didn't take good care of you," he thought.

Ken interrupted Brian's guilt trip, entering the room with a plate of food in his hand.

"Brian, eat this. You haven't eaten anything all day."

Brian gave it back, shaking his head.

"No, I'm not hungry."

He wanted to wait until Diana woke up.

"What about Antonette?"

"She was taken to the police station," Ken replied.

Brian nodded. That was the best result.

"You can go back home. I will stay here," Brian said to Ken.

"But…" Ken hesitated.

However, Brian insisted, "Go. You have to help me handle things in the company tomorrow."

Brian stroked Diana's hair, held her hand, and eventually fell asleep at her bedside.

***

Before Ken even entered his house, he could hear the laughter coming from inside. He was confused; Sybil should have been asleep with Aaron by now.

He opened the door and found an amusing scene. Abby was dressed as a princess, skipping around hand in hand with Sybil, while Aaron followed behind, taking photos of them.

When Sybil caught sight of Ken, she waved to him and said, "Hey, Ken, come here and have a look at our little princess."

Ken smiled and walked towards them. Abby stared at Ken with her sparkling eyes.

"He is the one who is always with Dad Brian," she thought.

"Abby, this is Uncle Ken," Sybil said gently.

"Uncle Ken!" Abby repeated his name, sweetly.

Ken's smile grew bigger, and he gave Abby a big hug.

"A daughter is better than a son," he thought to himself.

After finally getting the two children to sleep, Sybil was able to find out from Ken about what had happened.

Ken told her everything that had gone on, from the afternoon to now.

"How dare she?! Antonette is crazy!"

Ken nodded in agreement. They had no idea that Antonette was so vengeful. It was lucky that nothing serious had happened to Diana.

"What about Diana? How is she?" Sybil asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. Brian is staying in the hospital to accompany her."

"Let's go to visit her tomorrow, shall we?"

"Okay." Ken agreed and gave Sybil a kiss.

As she didn't want to wake him up, she tried her best to keep herself still. Only when she really couldn't help it anymore did she move, and Brian finally woke up.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Brian m.o.a.n.e.d, rubbing his eyes.

Diana smiled and said, "You were tired. You needed to rest."

"Diana!" Sybil's voice suddenly disturbed their peaceful moment as she strode into the room.

"Sybil?" Diana was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

Sybil put down the hamper and sat down beside Diana with concern.

"Diana, are you okay?"

"Nothing serious. I'm just a little weak."

"How could Antonette do such a thing? She used to be your best friend!"

Brian frowned. "Why are you here?"
