Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 453

Interrupted, the nurses fell silent and scattered back to their duties.

Daphne entered Judd’s office to find Gentry there as well. He stood up politely. “Mrs. Carstairs.”

She gave him a curt nod. “I’d like to speak with Judd alone.”

“Of course.” Gentry shot Judd a worried glance before stepping out and closing the door behind him.

Judd set down his papers. “What did you want to talk about?”

“I’ve looked into the matter with Derrick and his wife, and I was shocked to find Vickie was involved. But don’t worry, I’ve taken care of it,” Daphne said, her eyes downcast. She sounded weary, terrified that her son would misunderstand and think she had orchestrated the whole thing. She looked up, searching his face for any hint of emotion.

Judd didn’t respond immediately. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming lightly on the desk as he seemed to consider her words. Finally, he spoke. “So, you came all this way just to tell me that?”

“I was worried…”

“I know you had nothing to do with it. You don’t have to explain.”

Daphne was taken aback, unsure whether to feel relieved or saddened. Relieved, because at least he didn’t blame her. Saddened, because his attitude toward her hadn't changed at all.

She turned to leave, but paused at the door and looked back. “Are you truly set on Charlotte? Is it her or no one else?”
