A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 43:

Belinda nodded, doing her best to suppress her discomfort. “Okay.” The night before, she had drugged Anthony, but her intentions were simply to shield the old man’s mood, not wanting her argument with other Cox family members to ruin his good spirits. She had never meant to conceal the divorce indefinitely.

After all, secrets like these don’t stay buried for long.

Now that Anthony was aware, she had to discuss the divorce with him directly. He was, after all, the only family member who truly cared for her.

Kristopher’s expression hardened as he adjusted his suit sleeves and said in a frosty tone, “Then stop feigning illness. Get out of bed and come with me.”

Belinda managed a weak, forced smile. “Alright.” With considerable effort, she rose from the bed.

Her plan was to freshen up and slip into the dress she had worn the previous night.

However, when she retrieved the dress from the nurse’s station, she discovered it was marred with bloodstains.

With no alternatives, she returned to her room in her striped hospital gown and approached Kristopher. “Could you accompany me to buy some clothes?”

All her belongings were still at Madisyn’s house in Nawrin, far from both the hospital and the Cox family estate. It made sense to purchase new attire at a nearby mall.

Kristopher was listening to Cathy’s voice message on his phone. “Kristopher, I’m really okay. Please, don’t worry about it too much. I’m not fragile,” Cathy’s voice assured him through the speaker.
