?Chapter 532:


    Christina returned to the hospital room and sat beside Bethel, engaging in light conversation. Their peaceful moment was soon interrupted by a knock at the door.


    Two men stepped inside. Dressed in sharp ck suits, they were unmistakably Dn’s men. “Miss Jones,” one of them said politely, holding out a sleek box. “Mr. Scott asked us to deliver this phone to you.”


    Christina blinked in surprise as she took the box. It was a brand-new phone. She hadn’t expected Dn to notice her broken phone, let alone present her with a new one. “Thank you,” she said with a small nod. “I appreciate you bringing it all this way.”


    “No trouble at all. Mr. Scott also instructed us to stay and protect Mrs. Dawson.” Christina considered that for a moment. Having someone stationed outside Bethel’s ward would certainly keep the troublesome members of the Dawson family at bay. “Alright. You may wait outside the room.”


    “Yes, ma’am,” they replied, stepping out to take position.


    As the door clicked shut, Christina began unwrapping the box. Bethel, watching quietly, gave a knowing smile. “Mr. Scott seems to care about you quite a bit,” she said casually.


    Christina let out a chuckle. “Perhaps it’s just because of Miss Scott.”


    Noticing that Christina hadn’t realized Dn’s affection, Bethel chose not to point it out. “So,” she asked gently, “what do you think of Mr. Scott?”


    Christina pondered for a moment and smiled. “He mighte across as distant and cold, but honestly, he’s a good person. Kind in his own way.”


    Bethel nodded, her gaze thoughtful. “Do you have any feelings for him?”


    The question made Christina pause. She looked up, a bit startled, and then chuckled softly. “Why would you ask something like that?”


    “I just think he is better than Brendon in many ways. Maybe he could—” She didn’t finish the sentence, leaving the thought hanging in the air.


    “You’re overthinking it,” Christina said with a small smile. “He’s the head of the powerful Scott family in Lorbridge, and I’m just a divorced woman. There’s no future for us. Even if I weren’t married before, the difference in our family backgrounds alone would be enough for his family to reject me.”

    The world of elite families—with their power games and endless drama—had never appealed to Christina. It was exhausting just thinking about it.


    “If something truly matters to you,” Bethel said gently, “you’ll find a way. Life doesn’t always follow the rules we expect.”


    Christina reached over and squeezed her hand. “Bethel, a man like Dn would never consider someone like me.”


    Bethel studied her face carefully. “But what if he has feelings for you?”


    Christina’s heart skipped a beat, but she quicklyposed herself and smiled. “Even so, it wouldn’t change anything. That world isn’t for me. Power struggles, hidden agendas… those families are anything but simple.”


    Bethel sighed, seeing the firm resolve in Christina’s eyes. “Alright. No matter what you choose, you’ll always have my support.”


    Still, Bethel couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Dn. His gaze earlier had been so sincere, so determined. Yet, judging from Christina’s words, winning her heart wouldn’t be easy. Dn didn’t seem like the type who knew how to pursue a woman with charm or sweet words. His path to Christina’s heart was going to be long and uncertain.
