A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 140:

Kristopher paused for a moment.

After a brief silence, he exhaled deeply and moved back to Cathy’s side, carefully smoothing a crease in her blanket. “Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”

Cathy’s eyes were wet with unshed tears. “I’m a patient too. You actually want to leave me alone and go with her…”

She bit her lip, her gaze fixed on him. “Kristopher, who matters more to you, me or Belinda?”

Her voice wavered with emotion, yet she made no attempt to lower it. Out of reflex, Kristopher’s eyes darted toward the hallway.

Belinda, who should have been on her way to the elevator by now, was standing by in the corridor with her back to them, seemingly occupied with something he couldn’t discern.

A twinge of unease settled in Kristopher’s chest.

Cathy’s words were loud enough. Belinda probably heard them. And there she was…
