A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 329:

Anthony’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Is this news about you?”

He had heard about the Coastal Highway accident earlier that morning. At the time, he and Stanley had criticized the recklessness of young drivers who ventured into a closed section at night, causing such a serious accident. He never imagined it involved his grandson Kristopher, his former granddaughter-in-law Belinda, and a group of people who had been chasing them.

Anthony immediately rose and approached Belinda, examining her carefully. “Belinda, are you okay? You weren’t injured, were you?”

Belinda shook her head. “I’m fine.” She glanced toward Kristopher. “But last night, he was injured while protecting me.”

She suspected he had shielded her reflexively, perhaps confused by the chaos of the crash and thinking she was Cathy. Regardless, he had been hurt because he was defending her. Gratitude and guilt mixed in her chest.

She deliberately praised him in front of Anthony. “Mr. Cox may seem reserved, but he’s truly kind-hearted. Despite our divorce, he still defended me in a moment of danger and suffered injuries because of it.”

“Kristopher, you’re injured!?” Cathy cut in and moved closer, obscuring Belinda’s view. She peered at the wound on his forehead with evident worry. “How did you get such a serious head injury? Why didn’t you take better care of yourself during the accident?”
