The Cherished Wife

Noelle nodded. "Of course, I won't say anything. But..." She still felt a bit worried. "What if things between Peter and Tania don't improve? Tania mentioned she doesn't plan to stay long." "You don't need to worry about that," Charles said with a smile as he took her hand and led her out of the study.

"Knowing Peter's personality, now that Tania is back, he's not going to let her go that easily." After waiting for three years, there was no way he would let her slip away.

Since Charles had work the next day, Noelle went to the hospital with Tania. Nancy's condition could not afford any delays, and each day added to the risk. Tania sought out Sean directly. "Mr. Smith!"

"Why if it isn't my sister-in-law!" Sean greeted with a harmless smile when he saw Tania. He even pulled up a chair for her. "Please take a seat."

Tania glanced at Sean. "Mr. Smith, I've already divorced Peter, so I don't deserve to be called your sister-in-law. You can just call me Tania."

Sean narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tania. Rather than feeling awkward about being rebuffed, he burst out laughing. "You're right. Peter? Forget about him. With your age and everything you've got going for you, you can find someone younger and richer with no problem."

He waved dismissively. "Alright then, Tania it is."

Tania had no objections. After all, a name was just a label. She continued, "I came today to ask about my mother's condition. I didn't get the chance to ask much yesterday."

nodded and turned serious. "Wait a moment, I'll call someone in." He walked over to his desk and dialed a number. "Dr. Lynch, could you come to
