His throat was so hoarse that it hurt just to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing her lost expression made his heart ache. He said, \"I’m a pretty stubborn person. Once I start something, I don’t back down easily. So, you shouldn’t think about backing down either. Whatever you want, I can help you achieve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chloe Reed couldn’t muster a shred of fighting spirit. Everything that had happened today made her realize with sharp clarity that she was no match for Walker Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if she pushed him too far, he would become completely reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would just end up dragging more people into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so worried about Miles Hawthorne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miles Hawthorne’s stance was so firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left her feeling lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed buried her face in her hands, completely dejected and defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne sighed. \"Chloe Reed, are you going to drop the lawsuit, compromise with him, and go back to living that same miserable life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was slow as he painted a picture of her future. \"He’ll shuttle between you and Sunny Reed. He’ll put Noah Grant first. You’ll always be the backup plan. Is that the kind of life you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed took a deep breath and lowered her hands. Her clear eyes were tinged with red, but her gaze had grown firmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I’ll do as you say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t dropping the lawsuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A relieved smile touched Miles Hawthorne’s lips. \"It’s not about doing as I say. It’s about staying true to what you really want. Chloe Reed, you have to always, always choose to love yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was deeply moved. \"I still have to say I’m sorry,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I accept. And I forgive you.\" Miles Hawthorne smiled at her. \"But I’m exhausted right now. I want to get some sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I won’t disturb you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should go home. I can’t rest properly with you here.\" Miles Hawthorne began trying to send her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed hesitated. \"But I don’t feel right leaving you here alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne gave her a surprised look. \"What, are you going to protect me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go on now,\" Miles Hawthorne said gently. \"It’s late. Go home and get some proper rest. The road ahead is going to be tough, after all. You need to keep your spirits up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demeanor was gentle, and the way he looked at her was consistently soft yet firm—as warm and reassuring as the kind older brother next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed nodded. \"Okay. Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched Chloe Reed turn and leave, Miles Hawthorne closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed left the hospital. By now, it was late at night. The wind had a slight chill, and as it blew against her, it carried an inexplicable coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Nathaniel Monroe’s voice called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed turned to see him walking toward her, a nervous expression on his face. \"How’s Miles Hawthorne?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s gaze was frigid. \"If you want to know how he is, why don’t you go in and see for yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe scratched his head. \"I’m... too embarrassed to go in. I was there, after all, and I didn’t dare stop Walker...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When Walker goes crazy, it’s terrifying.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he’d called Chloe Reed, hoping her presence could change things. But who would have thought it would end up like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked away. \"If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\" Nathaniel Monroe blocked her path. \"There is something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Chloe Reed’s brow furrowed slightly. Her attitude toward him was already cold and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe sensed her coldness but forced himself to continue. \"It’s... Walker. He’s in the hospital, too. He’s injured. Do you... want to go see him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",639,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","4cc66cd6d5eb24be00ef1801f880c5fdc04e34d9d00c9c213830b0470db61c42","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-240","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-238",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
