Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 297

She stared at Christopher with a darkened expression and wanted to rush over to slap him, but her feet felt like they were buried under the ground, as she couldn’t move an inch.

In the end, she could only watch Christopher and the woman next to him get into the same car and drive away.

Xandria could not return to her senses for a long time and could not even believe what she saw.

She wondered, “Christopher… Why would he do that? He and Yuliana were still a loving couple the last time I saw them. What happened to them? Is this only a misunderstanding?”

Kathryn noticed Xandria was taken aback, so she patted her shoulder and comforted her, saying, “It’s nothing to make a fuss about. Men are all the same.”

Xandria was still confused. “But then, he was so good to Yuliana before this. Are we mistaken about something here?”

Kathryn sneered, “Mistaken? How do you explain that scene we saw in the car then?”

Earlier, when Christopher and the woman got in the car, a man who came out with him seemed to have something to tell Christopher. He walked over and knocked on the backseat window. When Christopher rolled down the window, they saw the woman leaning in his arms.

Moreover, when the woman took Christopher’s arm, they saw her almost sticking her chest on his arm.

Xandria felt the alcohol she drank earlier had started reacting within her. Her chest felt stuffy, and she wanted to throw up. She squatted and pressed her chest. After a long silence, she suddenly asked, “Should I tell Yuliana about this?”

Kathryn frowned a little. She pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. She’s smart. I believe she knows everything already.”

“She knows?” Xandria looked up at Kathryn.

Kathryn met her gaze but said nothing.

In fact, Kathryn was not too sure about that either. However, judging from Yuliana’s reaction in the afternoon, she believed something must have happened between Yuliana and Christopher. Then, after they saw Christopher with another woman, Kathryn was more certain about that Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

guess.

Kathryn’s designated driver arrived first, but she waited for Xandria’s designated driver to arrive. She didn’t get in her car until she saw Xandria get in and leave.

On her way back, Xandria felt rather dejected. After thinking for a while, she

picked up bar.

her phone and texted Yuliana, telling Yuliana everything she saw in the

At that time, Yuliana had already gone to sleep, so she only saw Xandria’s text the next morning.

Christopher did not come home last night.

When she saw Christopher again, it was two days later when Winnie was sent to the hospital for her critical condition.

Yuliana was at home when that happened. The caregiver was the first to find Winnie unconscious. After Yuliana was notified, she immediately called an ambulance and sent Winnie to the hospital.

Layla was at Romdale, and Joyce was also recently very busy, so Christopher was the first to arrive at the hospital.

When he arrived, the medical staff was carrying out emergency treatment for Winnie in the emergency room.

Yuliana and the caregiver sat on the bench outside the emergency room.

Upon hearing the rapid footsteps, Yuliana subconsciously looked up and saw Christopher rushing in while panting heavily. He looked at the light that was turned on above the emergency room before shifting his gaze to Yuliana.

Their gazes met for a moment.

Christopher loosened his tie and asked, “How is she?”

Yuliana withdrew her gaze and ignored his question. The caregiver felt a little awkward. After taking in Yuliana’s expressionless face and Christopher staring at Yuliana, the caregiver hesitated for a couple of seconds before telling him Winnie’s current situation.

Christopher was aware of Winnie’s condition. The doctors and caregivers at home would report that to him, and he would always spend some time in Winnie’s room if he went back home, so he knew her health was deteriorating.

Isaac also hinted to Christopher before that Winnie did not have much time left.

After hearing what the caregiver told him, Christopher remained silent and walked to the wall, leaning against it.

The caregiver was trapped between them, feeling uneasy all over.

She gulped and forced a smile at Yuliana. “Excuse me. I’m going to the restroom.”

Yuliana nodded.

The caregiver got up and headed to the restroom. After she walked away, Yuliana and Christopher were left alone outside the emergency room.

One sat on the bench, and the other leaned against the wall across from her. A small corridor kept them apart. One looked at the lamp above the emergency room, whereas the other lowered her gaze.

Both of them kept silent. No one could tell what they were thinking.

Not too long after Christopher arrived at the hospital, Joyce also joined them. Joyce was anxious and worried when she arrived at the hospital.

Right after seeing them, she immediately asked them about Winnie’s condition.

Then, the three waited outside together. The atmosphere between them was a little awkward.

Yuliana knew things between Christopher and Joyce had been tense lately. The two did not talk much, despite Winnie’s critical condition. Instead, they seemed more at ease talking to Yuliana.

More than an hour later, Winnie was finally rescued, but her condition was not too good. The hospital had to admit her to the ICU.

Yuliana did not stay too long in the hospital. She booked a taxi to return to the Solace residence when the sky turned darker.

During the few hours Yuliana spent at the hospital, Hailey had called her several times, telling her that Rowan had been crying after he learned Winnie was sent to the hospital. Rowan refused to drink milk or sleep, and Hailey could not do anything to console his feelings.

Yuliana had no choice but to go home.

Joyce and the caregiver stayed at the hospital to watch after Winnie.

Stepping out of the hospital, Yuliana was waiting for the car to arrive when she suddenly heard an ear- piercing car honk.

She looked up and saw a black Mercedes-Benz pull over in front of her.

The backseat window was rolled down. The man sitting in the backseat tilted his head and looked at her, saying, “Get in the car. I’ll drive you home.”

Yuliana met his gaze for a couple of seconds and stepped forward, opening the door and getting inside the car.

After getting in the car, she took out her phone and canceled the taxi booking.

Inside the car, it was still the usual silence between them.

No one knew when it started, but sadly, the two no longer had anything to say to each other.

Yuliana turned to look at the scenery out of the window. Suddenly, the car baffle in front of them was lifted. She was slightly startled and subconsciously turned

around to look at the man next to her.

He was also staring at her. When their gazes met, he asked, “Don’t you have questions for me?”

Yuliana was a little confused at first. When she realized what he was implying, her eyelashes fluttered a little, and she looked away. Then, she looked at the baffle in front of her and pursed her lips, saying.

“On my birthday night, Xani told me she saw you and another woman leaving a bar together and looking rather intimate.”

She surely had questions for him.

From the day she saw the lipstick mark on his shirt, she already wanted to ask him about that.

However, Yuliana sometimes would act like an ostrich that refused to face the ugly reality, or maybe she had yet to figure out what had happened between her and Christopher, so she could not decide what to do with the information she received.

She wondered if she could act decisive enough and break up with Christopher if he really cheated on her.

She dared not ask him the question because she was afraid she could not bear hearing the answer and out of fear that she could not act decisive enough.

Christopher held his temple and looked out of the window. A long moment later, he hummed in response and said, “I was with her that night.”
