A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 303:

Each day, he would sit stubbornly in his wheelchair, refusing to stand, interact, or communicate, often showing temperamental and even hysterical reactions.

At the time, the person he resented the most was Belinda, who had married him while he was unconscious. Yet, she was also the one who showed him the most patience. Despite his resistance and angry outbursts, Belinda had persistently wheeled him to this very café, right near Nawrin University, always recounting tales of her student days there. She shared her journey from being seen as a simple country girl to slowly adjusting to urban life. Her diligent efforts paid off as she made close friends and earned the respect of her peers.
