A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 150:

After leaving the hospital, Belinda invited Fred to a nearby restaurant.

As they settled into their seats, Belinda handed Fred his phone with a grateful smile. “Thanks for earlier. Without your help, those people wouldn’t have cleared out so quickly, and I’d still be unaware of the negative news spreading online.”

Belinda’s phone had been broken, so she hadn’t been able to catch up on the news or trending topics. Without Fred’s intervention, she would have remained oblivious.

“Why are you thanking me?” Fred asked, accepting his phone. “I wondered why you hadn’t replied to my messages. It makes sense now. Your phone was broken.”

Belinda’s brow furrowed in surprise. “You sent me messages?”

“Yeah,” Fred replied with a shrug. “I saw when Kristopher brought you into the hospital. He looked quite furious. I was really worried, so I sent a few messages, but got no response.”

He sighed, his expression a mix of concern and sadness, much like a dejected puppy. “I thought maybe you didn’t want to talk to me anymore, so I stopped texting. Later, when I saw the commotion they caused on the second floor that got you involved…”

Fred trailed off, taking a thoughtful sip of his coffee. “And your ex-husband… Miss Miller left him when he was down and out. Now that he’s successful again, she reappears. Why doesn’t he resent her? Instead, he’s leaving you to go back to her?”
