30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 182

Catrina sighed with a heavy heart as she watched Jason’s reserved demeanor. “Korey said coming back wasn’t good for Holly’s recovering, but we were too stubborn to listen,” she admitted, a note of guilt lacing her words. “I guess we parents do make mistakes.”

When Jason remained silent, Catrina went on, Truth be told, I shouldn’t have called you over today, especially since you and Estrella are married now. But you saw it yourself, Jason. Your presence seemed to calm Holly down.”

Her voice wavered as she continued, her eyes welling up with tears. “It’s just so cruel, isn’t it? Who could be so heartless as to want to take both your and Holly’s lives? We’re talking about two lives here.”

Jason’s silence deepened.

In the midst of Catrina’s melancholic sighs, Holly’s heart monitor suddenly started blaring an alarm. Panic-stricken, Catrina whirled towards Jason, her voice trembling, “Jason, what’s happening? Everything was fine just a moment ago-why is the machine going off?”

Jason quickly pressed the call button beside the bed.

Catrina was visibly shaken. She leapt up from her chair and dashed out, calling, “Is there a doctor around? We’ve got a situation with patient in bed 18. The monitor is going off!”

Hearing Catrina’s frantic shouts, doctors and nurses hurriedly made their way over.

He was nowhere to be seen.

Marie noticed Estrella’s reluctance to leave the living room and gently suggested, “Ms. Estrella, perhaps you should go upstairs and rest for a bit.”

Suppressing a yawn, Estrella replied, “I’ll just watch some TV.”
