Chapter 49:
Hearing Anthony's words, Kristopher’s brow furrowed, and he instinctively glanced toward Cathy.
Tears streamed down Cathy's face, her complexion as pale as the wall behind her.
Feeling his gaze, Cathy bit her lip and looked at Kristopher with deep sorrow, her voice trembling. “This is all my
fault... It’s all because of me. | never should've cback from overseas... Had | known my return would cause
such chaos in Kristopher and Belinda’s marriage, | would've rather stayed abroad, even at the cost of my own
life...” Her tears grew more intense as she continued, “Anthony, there's no need to push Belinda and Kristopher
toward a divorce. Since I'm the cause of all this, I'll leave instead.”
With those words, she dabbed at her tears and made her way toward the door. “I'm going back now. I'll book a
flight to Avaloria and continue my treatment there...”
“Cathy!”
Maggie’s voice cut through the tension as she stepped forward, gently grabbing Cathy's arm and pulling her
back. “What are you thinking? Remember three years ago? After my brother was incapacitated, you left for three
months to seek new treatments for him overseas. Yet, before you could return, he married that curse of a
woman. And you, choosing not to disrupt their marriage, stayed away for three years, sacrificing your health

trembled with emotion as she continued, “Your parents already endured the loss of one daughter. You vanished
for three years, and now, ill as you are, you plan to leave them again... How can you justify that?”
Maggie paused, her eyes welling with tears before she turned to glare at Belinda with fierce intensity. “A
woman's envy can be terrifying. You've endured her for three years, yet she remains discontent. If she desires a
divorce, so be it. My brother deserves more than this.”
At that, Belinda raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a cold smirk. “Really now? Three years ago, Miss Miller
flew overseas overnight in search of a new drug to treat a comatose patient, right?”
Maggie snorted, positioning herself like a knight shielding Cathy. “What else? Cathy loved my brother deeply,
and after he slipped into a coma, it’s only natural she’d seek a cure,” she said, shooting Belinda a frosty glare.
“Unlike others who exploited my brother's inability to speak or move to secure a marriage with him. Without
Cathy's initial trip overseas, how could a simple country girl have had the opportunity to wed into our prestigious
Cox family?”

Belinda almost burst into laughter at Maggie's naive acceptance of such a flimsy excuse.
Arms crossed, Belinda shot a piercing look at Cathy, who was partially shielded by Maggie. “I'm curious, Miss
Miller. When you traveled overseas to find this new medicine, which of Kristopher's medical records did you take
with you? How much physiological data did you collect, spanning how many months? Did you consult any
specialists?”
She flicked her hair back with a sense of authority. “Three years ago, while Kristopher lay unresponsive, | was his
primary caretaker. His medical records were kept byand the attending nurses. They are still stored on my
computer. Which part of his medical data did Miss Miller take with her to find the medicine?”
Cathy's face immediately drained of color. “I took...”
“You didn’t take anything, did you?” Belinda cut her off, her voice sharp.
Cathy’s expression soured even further. “I admit, | didn’t bring any documents withwhen | went to inquire,
but... | did help Kristopher in searching for medicine...”
Belinda let out a cold laugh. “So, Miss Miller, when you went in search of the new medication, you simply told
foreign experts that you had a friend who had been in an accident and was in a coma, asking if there was
anything that could save him?”
As she spoke, Belinda pulled out her phone, scrolling through Cathy’s online history. “Online, it says that three
years ago, Miss Miller arrived in Avaloria and immediately joined an acting training camp, where you spent six
months...” She glanced up at Cathy, offering her a dismissive look. “So, Miss Miller, were you at this secluded
acting school consulting your teachers about new medication for comatose patients?”
Cathy’s face turned a deep red.
