Chapter 80 Kristian's Suspicion

Farrah offered nothing more, her lips sealed tight.

To shield Freya from undue concern, she adopted a breezy, upbeat demeanor as she shared. "Honestly, I never would have guessed Kristian is the one you ended up marrying on a whim. It's downright astonishing."

A ripple of worry flickered across Freya's face as she absorbed the message.

Trent, picking up on her unease, inquired gently, "How's she doing?"

"She's married to Felipe," Freya answered slowly, her gaze locked on her phone screen. "But she quickly shifted the topic."

After a few more exchanges, when Freya learned that Farrah was in Liam's car,' she chose not to probe any further.

She made sure Farrah knew that, no matter the storm, her support would always be there.

"Will the divorce decree come through by the end of the month?" Trent asked, piecing together the timeline. €

Freya confirmed with a succinct "Yes."

"Call me once it's all settled, and I'll arrange a flight back to Alerith." Trent's demeanor towards Freya was always tender.

Freya turned to him and asked, "Have you wrapped up your affairs in Jeucwell?"

"Yes," he replied.

Freya accepted his offer without hesitation.

Trent then dropped her off, ensuring she was safe inside before driving off, his headlights cutting through the night as he returned to his hotel.

Meanwhile, on Kristian's side, instead of heading back home, he made his way to the hospital where Ashley was being treated.

When Kristian entered the room, Ashley's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. She shifted upright on the bed, her gaze softening as she greeted him warmly.

"I've arranged a thorough checkup for you." Kristian spoke, gripping the doctor's examination form, his eyes sharp and unwavering. "We should get the tests done right away."

Ashley's heart skipped a beat, momentarily caught off guard. She took a deep breath, steadying herself before
