A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 116:

As Belinda’s questioning voice came through the phone, Darren closed his eyes in resignation.

The moment he had been dreading had arrived.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “Belinda, please let me explain. That night was chaotic. I was hurrying to get your medication log to the hospital, and there was Kristopher, lingering at your doorstep, refusing to leave. When your cat, Fluffy, dashed out to find Kristopher, he scooped him up. He was using Fluffy to try to see you… I couldn’t disclose your medical condition to him, nor was I in a position to wrestle him for Fluffy, so…”

“So, you handed my beloved cat over to my ex-husband, just like that?” Belinda cut him off with a cold tone. “Darren, I appreciate what you did for me that night. But have you thought about what might have happened to Fluffy if Kristopher hadn’t brought him back? He could have been lost, hit by a car, or ended up starving on the streets.”

Darren sighed. “Belinda, I was out of options… You were in a critical state, and I had to make a decision…”

“And what about yesterday?” Belinda struggled to contain her emotions and inhaled deeply. “When I asked you about Fluffy yesterday, you knew exactly where he was, yet you lied, claiming you hadn’t seen him. Madisyn spent the entire day searching. I continued from evening right up until eleven at night. If Kristopher hadn’t shown up, I’d probably still be out there looking.”

This time, Darren remained utterly silent.

Having expressed her frustrations, Belinda decided not to add more. “Darren, the money you advanced at Peace Hospital that night, I’ll send back double the amount in a few days. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me during this period.”

With those final words, she ended the call.
