A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 9:

“I’m fine,” Cathy declared, her lips smeared with blood. “Kristopher, go find Belinda. Don’t worry about me.”

Kristopher frowned, lifting Cathy up. “How can I not worry? You saved my life!”

As Kristopher glanced at the shards embedded in Cathy’s body, he furrowed his brows and interrupted, “First, we need to get you to the hospital.”

Near the entrance, Darren was introducing Belinda to some renowned designers. “This is my junior schoolmate, an incredibly talented individual,” he boasted.

Belinda smiled and began to greet them. “Hello, everyone.”

Her introduction was cut short when a man rushing from inside collided with her, causing her to stagger and nearly fall. Darren quickly caught her by the shoulder to steady her.
