30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 182

Catrina sighed with a heavy heart as she watched Jason’s reserved demeanor. “Korey said coming back wasn’t good for Holly’s recovering, but we were too stubborn to listen,” she admitted, a note of guilt lacing her words. “I guess we parents do make mistakes.”

When Jason remained silent, Catrina went on, Truth be told, I shouldn’t have called you over today, especially since you and Estrella are married now. But you saw it yourself, Jason. Your presence seemed to calm Holly down.”

Jason’s silence deepened.

In the midst of Catrina’s melancholic sighs, Holly’s heart monitor suddenly started blaring an alarm. Panic-stricken, Catrina whirled towards Jason, her voice trembling, “Jason, what’s happening? Everything was fine just a moment ago-why is the machine going off?”

Jason quickly pressed the call button beside the bed.

Catrina was visibly shaken. She leapt up from her chair and dashed out, calling, “Is there a doctor around? We’ve got a situation with patient in bed 18. The monitor is going off!”

Suppressing a yawn, Estrella replied, “I’ll just watch some TV.”

Marie let out a resigned sigh and left, understanding that Estrella was still miffed at Mr. Jason and that was why she didn’t want to retife to her room.

with Kristin, Estrella glanced at the clock. It was past four, and even if Jason did return soon, they’d be too late to visit the registrar’s office. Stretching languidly, she decided it was time to head back to Waterfall Acres. If Jason had something to say, it would have to wait for another time. She had waited long enough today; that was surely enough of a gesture.
