Assistant Ryan said calmly, "Boss, have you forgotten? When you agreed to register the marriage with your wife, didn't you two go for notarization together?"
"If you get divorced in the future, there will be no disputes about property."
Andrew frowned slightly when he heard this. He really had forgotten about it.
Seeing him pick up the pen to sign, Assistant Ryan felt a bit guilty and tried to stop him again. "Boss, are you really sure about this?"
"With her personality, once you sign this paper, there's no turning back."
But Andrew was always decisive. There was no way he would easily change his mind.
Besides, he would never admit in front of Katherine that he regretted what he said.
He signed his name on the divorce agreement without hesitation, then closed the folder and handed it back to Assistant Ryan.
"Take this to her. If she's available, tell her to go get the divorce certificate this afternoon."
Assistant Ryan took it helplessly, knowing he couldn't change his boss's mind.
He turned to leave the office, silently sighing. Boss, you better not regret this later.
Assistant Ryan personally drove to Concord Hospital. When he reached Katherine's office door, he asked, "Is Dr. Katherine in?"
The person inside, focused on work, looked up toward the door. "Are you looking for Dr. Katherine? She's in the operating room."
"When will she be done with surgery?" Assistant Ryan asked.
"I don't know. I heard it's a major operation. It could last more than ten hours."
"Do you need something? If it's okay, I can pass a message to Dr. Katherine."
Assistant Ryan smiled, "Thanks, but I'll wait until she's finished."
The person inside nodded. "Alright."
After hearing that Katherine might be in surgery for ten hours, Assistant Ryan couldn't help but think, how exhausting must that be?
He felt sorry for his boss.
He has such a great wife, but doesn't know how to cherish her. He won't realize it until she's gone.
Assistant Ryan sat on a bench in the hospital waiting for Katherine. But even by afternoon, she hadn't appeared.
He checked his watch. It was already 3:00 PM.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. The screen showed it was Andrew.
He quickly picked up and asked cautiously, "Boss, you called?"
Andrew spoke impatiently, "Assistant Ryan, what are you doing? I asked you to deliver the divorce agreement. Why hasn't it been given to her yet?"
"I'm sorry, Boss. I haven't seen her yet. Her coworker said she's in the middle of a major surgery. It might take a long time to finish."
Andrew felt a surge of anger. "Assistant Ryan, don't you know you can just leave it in her office? Do you have to hand it to her directly?"
Assistant Ryan answered, feeling wronged, "But Boss, didn't you say it had to be given to her face-to-face? That's why I'm waiting here."
"Do what you want."
Andrew ended the call impatiently.
He tossed his phone onto the desk and roughly loosened his tie.
Since that night with Katherine, Andrew had been feeling unsettled inside.
Even though they had been married for two years, they'd never really met.
But last night, something happened between them.
Now, deep down, he felt unwilling to go through with the divorce.
He picked up his phone and opened the photo album. There was a photo he secretly took of Katherine last night.
He didn't even know why he did it, just felt the urge to take the picture.
Looking at the photo, he felt even more reluctant to separate from her.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, he had a bad impression of her from the start.
But after spending time with her last night, doubts started to appear in his heart.
Just as he was about to call Assistant Ryan back, Charlotte suddenly called.
He didn't hesitate. He answered the call and said gently, "Hello, Charlotte."
Charlotte's terrified voice came through the phone, "Andrew, I had a car accident. Please come help me. I'm so scared."
Hearing this, Andrew's heart tightened. He quickly asked, "Where are you? I'll be right there."
He ended the call and grabbed his car keys, striding out the door.
When Andrew arrived at the location Charlotte gave him, he got out of the car immediately.
Charlotte turned around and looked at him. Their eyes met.
Suddenly, Charlotte lost her balance and collapsed heavily to the ground.
The unexpected situation shocked Andrew. He rushed forward in panic.
He knelt beside her and asked anxiously, "Charlotte, are you okay? Are you hurt?" His voice was full of worry.
Tears clung to Charlotte's lashes, ready to fall at any moment.
Her fragile, helpless appearance made people feel sorry for her, as if she could break at any moment.
She sobbed softly, "Andrew, my leg isn't working. I can't walk."
Her voice trembled even more as she continued, filled with fear and uncertainty. "What should I do? I'm a celebrity. What if I become disabled?"
Seeing her face full of tears and fear, Andrew quickly comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, Charlotte. You'll be fine. Don't think like that. I'll take you to the hospital now."
Soon, news of Charlotte's car accident spread across the media and became a hot topic.
At the same time, a photo of Andrew carrying Charlotte was leaked and quickly sparked heated discussion among fans and netizens.
Andrew took Charlotte to the nearest hospital.
When a nurse came with a wheelchair to take her for tests, she held onto Andrew's hand tightly, refusing to let go. With tears in her voice, she pleaded:
"Andrew, please stay with me. I'm really scared."
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Andrew nodded...
