Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 299

That evening. Yuliana and Joyce found out through the phone that Winnie had woken up. Joyce, who was busy at

that time, hung up after saying a few words. She had no idea what exactly had transpired.

Joyce said, “She was only awake for a few minutes and was quite confused. She could barely recognize me. When I

spoke to her, she couldn’t hear me properly.”

Her voice sounded sad, helpless, and a bit tired.

Yuliana knew that Christopher wasn’t the only one exhausted these days. Joyce, too, was tired. She had lost her

husband and had to deal with things both at home and outside. Still, she had never said anything to others and

carried it all silently.

Winnie’s current situation was not optimistic.

Although she was resuscitated that day, she would not last long. The doctor had already sent a critical notice and

informed them to be psychologically prepared because it was only a matter of time.

Yuliana felt a little uncomfortable when she remembered how she had been getting along with Winnie these days.

The two of them fell into silence as neither of them spoke.

After a while, Yuliana called out, “Joyce.”

Joyce turned to look at Yuliana and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Pursing her lips, Yuliana said, “Did something happen between you and Christopher?”

Joyce raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why do you say that?”

“The two of you have been acting strange lately,” Yuliana replied honestly.

Their behavior was unusual.

Christopher and Joyce had always had a good relationship. Christopher respected Joyce very much, and Joyce loved

Christopher like her own brother. However, their relationship had been quite tense as of late.

Joyce lowered her eyes. The expression on her face did not matter. She replied, “Things have been tense, but it’s

also because of the change in status. He’s now the Acting Chairman of Solace Corporation and responsible for

many of the company’s major decisions. Obviously, I have to supervise them, but they’re all official business, and it

doesn’t affect our private relationship.”

Yuliana found it hard to believe Joyce’s words. She looked at Joyce’s reaction and asked, “Is that all?”

Joyce smiled. “What else? Did you think something unpleasant has happened

between Chris and me?”

Yuliana could not speak. She still felt doubtful in her heart, and she felt that something was definitely off.

But even if there had been something wrong, it wasn’t her place to worry about it.

Yuliana fell silent again. She looked up at the night sky in the distance. The weather had been excellent that day. A

crescent moon hung in the sky,

accompanied by scattered stars. The moonlight shone down on them, enveloping them in peace.

After sorting out her emotions, Joyce felt a little strange and looked at Yuliana again. The latter was staring into the

distance with a slight frown. Joyce had no idea what was on her mind.

“What’s the matter?” Joyce asked.

Looking away, Yuliana was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Christopher has asked me for a divorce.”

The calm expression on Joyce’s face shattered. “Divorce?”

Yuliana replied with a single word.

Joyce came back to her senses after a few seconds. “But why?”

Upon hearing that, Yuliana recalled how she had asked Christopher the same thing on the way back.

She smiled faintly. “He said that he was tired.”

Joyce stared at Yuliana quietly for a moment before asking, “What about you? What are your thoughts on that

matter? Do you wish to divorce him?”

Yuliana laughed. “I’m not the one who gets to make that decision.”

If it had been the same as before, she would obviously choose not to divorce.

But as things had already come to that point, the decision was no longer in her hands.

“Christopher, do you want to divorce?” she thought.

Joyce was dumbfounded. The expression on her face suddenly turned cold and solemn, and she could not help but

grip the handbag in her hand tightly.

The two of them stood downstairs for some time before heading upstairs to their respective rooms.

The next morning, Yuliana visited the hospital again.

When she arrived, Annabelle was also there. The latter sat by the bed in a sterile suit while chatting with Winnie.

However, Winnie was unconscious. Annabelle had no idea if the former could even hear her words.

Despite not having seen each other for some time, Yuliana and Annabelle were quite calm when they met.

Annabelle sat there for a while longer before leaving.

Just as she was leaving, she happened to meet Christopher.

Christopher had just received a call from the doctor, saying that there were some matters that needed to be

discussed. He just exited the hospital office and was about to go back to the company when he saw Yuliana and

Annabelle coming out.

of the ICU.

Christopher swept his eyes over Yuliana before they landed on Annabelle and stopped.

Yuliana and Annabelle also saw Christopher coming toward them.

“When did you arrive?” Christopher asked.

Annabelle was surprised when she met Christopher’s eyes. She turned to look at Yuliana and found the latter

staring into the distance calmly. Only then did she become certain that Christopher was speaking to her.

Annabelle replied, “I’ve been here for some. I was just leaving.”

She had heard about Winnie’s illness, but due to the strained relationship between Christopher and Yuliana, she

thought that she should avoid them. Hence, she had not gone to the Solace residence to visit Winnie.

It wasn’t until the night before that she found out from Gemma that Winnie had been sent to the hospital and that

the latter’s illness was quite serious. Annabelle had gotten the details from Joyce and rushed to the hospital early in

the morning.

Christopher said, “Wait for a moment. I’ll see you off after I check in on her.”

Annabelle, who had intended to refuse, felt a touch of confusion sweeping across her face as she glanced at

Yuliana. She nodded instead. “Okay.”

Christopher came out after a few minutes.

After coming out, he glanced at Yuliana and asked, “Did the driver send you here?”

Yuliana hummed lightly.

“We’ll be leaving first. I’ll ask the driver to drive you home later.”

Yuliana stared at him without replying.

Without further ado, Christopher turned to Annabelle and said, “Let’s go.”

After saying that, he strode toward the direction of the elevator without waiting for Annabelle to react. The latter

threw one last glance at Yuliana before rushing

to catch up.

Yuliana watched their retreating figures disappear before sitting down in the chair by the wall.

When Christopher turned up at the elevator, the elevator had just arrived. He went straight in without waiting for

Annabelle. Just as the people in the elevator were about to close the door, Annabelle hurriedly squeezed in.

Then, she glared at Christopher.

Soon, the elevator arrived on the first floor. The two of them exited the elevator, and Christopher immediately

marched away.

Annabelle struggled to follow him. She couldn’t help but shout, “Christopher, stop!”

Christopher refused to stop.

Annabelle trotted behind Christopher for a few paces before finally grabbing hold of him. Only then was he forced

to stop.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Annabelle questioned.
