Countdown to My Divorce

Her Exit 408

Chapter 408

Rachel’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Jim was already old and gravely ill; that alone was hard enough. Now, he was tangled up in a legal case. If things went wrong, he could end up spending what little time he had left behind bars.

Rachel couldn’t hold her emotions back anymore. She got up, turning away from Jim.

“No, don’t overthink it. Just focus on getting better. I’ll find out the truth.”

With that, she hurried out of the ward.

When Tyler followed her out, he spotted Rachel standing alone in a corner, quietly wiping her tears.

He approached and pulled a clean handkerchief from his suit pocket. “Want this?”

Rachel glanced at it and politely declined. “No, I’m fine.”

“Well, if your snot and tears end up smeared all over your clothes, that’s one thing, but if it ends up in your mouth-”

“Ugh, stop! That’s disgusting!”

Before he could finish, Rachel quickly snatched the handkerchief and wiped her face. As soon as she finished, she realized what she had done, and now the handkerchief was a mess.

She bundled it up awkwardly and held it in her hand.
