The next morning, sunlight came through the gap in the curtains and lit up the room. Katherine slowly woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw Andrew lying beside her.
Her brows furrowed slightly. She deeply regretted it. She must have lost her mind last night to agree to something so crazy.
Katherine carefully moved her body, trying not to wake Andrew, who was still asleep.
She quietly got out of bed, picked up the clothes scattered on the floor, dressed quickly, then grabbed a clean outfit from the wardrobe and went into the bathroom.
When she came out dressed, Andrew was still asleep.
She gently opened the bedroom door and went downstairs to sit on the couch in the living room.
Her mind was a mess.
Just as she was about to get up and find something to eat in the kitchen, the phone on the dining table suddenly rang loudly.
Startled, Katherine stood up and quickly walked over to pick it up. "Hello?"
A nervous and anxious voice came from the other end. "Dr. Katherine, come to the hospital immediately! We just received a patient with severe internal bleeding. It's critical. Dr. Li is out on a trip. You're the only one who can handle this surgery right now. Please come quickly!"
"Okay, I'll come right away. Prepare the patient for surgery."
After hanging up, Katherine grabbed her car keys without hesitation and rushed out the door.
She was in a panic, eager to get to the hospital as fast as she could.
When she arrived, she quickly changed into her surgical gown and went straight to the operating room.
She focused completely, doing everything she could to save the patient's life.
At the same time, Andrew slowly opened his eyes and saw that the bed beside him was empty.
He frowned, feeling an unexpected sense of loss.
He tried to remember everything from last night. As the memories became clearer, he suddenly sat up.
When he noticed the blood-stained tissue in the trash can, his heart sank.
He ran his hand through his hair, filled with confusion.
Did Katherine really not date anyone back in college?
The thought surprised him.
Katherine, why did you really marry me?
Andrew's thoughts became more tangled. He decided to take a shower to calm himself down.
After showering, he came out wrapped in a towel. Looking at the dirty clothes on the floor, he shook his head helplessly.
He walked over to the nightstand, picked up his phone, and called Assistant Ryan. "Bring me a set of clothes to Katherine's apartment."
Assistant Ryan was stunned.
Did he hear that right? The boss wanted clothes delivered to his wife's place?
He shook his head, wondering if he was imagining things.
But before he could ask, Andrew had already ended the call.
After checking the call history, Assistant Ryan realized he hadn't misheard.
He hurried to the villa to grab some clothes and bring them over.
Andrew had gotten Katherine's number from Assistant Ryan and called her, but no one answered after several tries.
Where did she go so early?
Assistant Ryan reached Katherine's apartment as fast as he could and rang the doorbell.
The next second, he heard soft footsteps inside.
When the door opened, he was shocked to see Andrew standing there in just a towel, looking calm but completely unexpected.
"Come in."
Andrew turned around and walked inside without any expression. Assistant Ryan quickly followed and shut the door.
He looked around nervously and asked carefully, "Boss, is Madam not home?"
Hearing that, Andrew turned around and stared at him, clearly annoyed. "Are you here for me or for her?"
"Of course, I'm here to bring you your clothes."
Assistant Ryan couldn't help glancing at his boss's bare back, which was covered in scratches. He asked cautiously, "Boss, did you spend the night here with Madam?"
Andrew took the bag from him with a blank face. "You already know."
Then he carried the bag into the bathroom.
Hearing that, Assistant Ryan couldn't stop a wide smile from spreading across his face. He was thrilled. It looked like the boss and his wife had finally made up. That was great news.
When Andrew finished getting dressed, he told Assistant Ryan, "Let's go."
Assistant Ryan blinked. "Wait, Boss, you're just leaving? Aren't you going to say goodbye to Madam?"
"She's not home."
As he spoke, Andrew had already put on his shoes and walked out.
"Oh." Assistant Ryan hurried to catch up.
Andrew got into the car. As soon as Assistant Ryan sat down, he heard his boss's deep voice, "Ryan, when we get to the office, ask the lawyer to draft a divorce agreement."
Assistant Ryan was shocked. He looked at the man in the back seat in disbelief. "Boss, who is the divorce for?"
Andrew slowly opened his eyes. They were cold and emotionless. "For me."
"What!" Assistant Ryan's eyes widened, his voice trembling. "Boss, didn't you and Madam just make up? Why are you suddenly getting a divorce?"
"Madam is really a good person," he said carefully, trying to persuade Andrew to change his mind.
Andrew felt regret in his heart. He regretted what he said in the heat of the moment last night.
But he had always been someone who stuck to his decisions. Once he made up his mind, it was hard to change it.
He replied coldly, "Just do what I say. Stop talking so much."
Assistant Ryan's face grew serious. He knew the boss would definitely regret this decision.
"Yes."
Back at the office, Andrew kept checking his phone along the way, but Katherine hadn't called or messaged him.
Assistant Ryan stared at the divorce agreement in his hands, full of worry. Why did the boss want a divorce right after returning?
Was it because of Miss Charlotte?
But the boss and Charlotte didn't have that kind of relationship.
He knocked on the door a few times. After getting permission, he walked in with the papers.
He reluctantly placed the agreement in front of Andrew. "Boss…"
