Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 45

The morning passed just like that, and the City Hall had already closed for the day. Cassandra sat in the car silently, waiting patiently until Taylor finally showed up.

“Mrs. Quinn, Mr. Quinn has to stay at the hospital with Ms. Spencer. Let me take you back.” Taylor suggested.

“How’s she doing?” Cassandra inquired.

Taylor replied. “She’s okay. A food allergy caused her rapid heartbeat. They’ve got it under control with medications and injections.”

Cassandra responded, “Okay”

As Taylor drove, Cassandra remained silent in the car, feeling an unexplained uncase. She thought, “Why can’t he spare a moment for our divorce if Rebecca is fine? It seems nothing is more important than her.

Back at Dustmeadow Mansion, the housekeepers were on edge. When she arrived, Cassandra asked Graham, “How did Ms. Spencer get an allergy?”

Graham replied, “She’s allergic to almonds, and the kitchen overlooked it. Don’t worry, Cassie.”

Cassandra frowned slightly, thinking, “Wouldn’t Orlando have informed the kitchen if Rebecca was allergic to almonds? How did this happen?*

Rebecca felt touched as he accompanied her for most of the day.

It made her feel that he truly cared about her.

Rebecca said, “Landy. I’m doing much better now. If you’re busy, you can go to the office first. I’ll be fine here.”

“No rush. I’ll take you home once the IV drip is done, and then I’ll head to the office,” he replied, casting Rebecca a gentle look.

“Landy, you’re so good to me,” she said, displaying the sweet, enamored smile of a girl in love.

Orlando gazed at her and calmly remarked, “Your happiness is what matters.”

Rebecca queried, “Landy, I am happy, but… did you manage to finalize things with Cassandra?”

It was a question that had been lingering in her mind from the moment she saw him, but she hadn’t had the chance to ask due to the presence of the doctors, nurses, and Taylor earlier.
