I’ll schedule our appointment at the courthouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s voice was cold as she finished, and she hung up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe was stunned. He wanted to say more, but all he heard from the other end was the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP of a dead line...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So heartless!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’To just hang up like that!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Walker’s been hurt for her sake so many times, yet she’s this cold!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They were together for eight years. How could she just throw it all away?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe was fuming. He tossed his phone aside and looked at Walker Grant, still unconscious on the hospital bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch, at his side, also had a grim look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How exactly did Walker get hurt?\" Nathaniel Monroe asked, staring at Walker Grant’s left arm in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch shook his head. \"I honestly don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe rubbed his temples. At that moment, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Judith Pierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Aunt Judith,\" Nathaniel Monroe said, forcing some cheerfulness into his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Walker woken up yet?\" Judith Pierce asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet,\" Nathaniel Monroe sighed. \"The doctors said he lost a lot of blood. There’s no telling when he’ll wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Judith Pierce said, \"I’m coming to see him now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe felt that something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Before long, Judith Pierce arrived, carrying Noah Grant in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Judith, why did you bring Noah with you? What if he gets scared?\" Nathaniel Monroe said, stepping forward and naturally taking the boy into his own arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah looked at the unconscious Walker Grant on the hospital bed, then turned to Nathaniel Monroe, his big eyes filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe smiled. \"Your uncle’s just sleeping. Why don’t you wake him up in a little while so he can play with you, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah Grant nodded enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce looked at Walker Grant’s pale face, her gaze falling to his left arm. A flicker of guilt and self-reproach flashed in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I must have been completely out of my mind!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could I have come up with a plan like that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her original intention was just to get Walker Grant away from Chloe Reed so he wouldn’t be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought that after everything, he’d be the one getting hurt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce’s heart ached so much that tears started to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Judith, do you know something?\" Nathaniel Monroe asked, looking at her with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce wiped her tears and shook her head. \"I don’t know anything. It’s just seeing him unconscious like this... It’s just so sad, and painful, and frightening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that she had drugged her own son to make him sleep with her older son’s wife—his own sister-in-law—was something she could never bring herself to say out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she could only deflect with a vague excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe didn’t press the issue. Instead, he held Noah in his arms and playfully teased him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah leaned over the edge of the bed and gently pushed Walker Grant’s arm, calling his name in a small, childish voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the unconscious man showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce picked Noah up. \"Let’s just sit quietly with your uncle for a little while,\" she said. \"He’ll wake up on his own when he’s had enough sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah Grant nodded obediently. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「As dusk fell」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, who had been unconscious for a full day and night, finally opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah, who had been staring intently at the bed, cried out in delight when he saw him wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce and Nathaniel Monroe both turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker, you’re awake? How do you feel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker, you’re finally awake! You have no idea, you scared the hell out of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant frowned slightly. The pain in his left arm was a constant throb. He closed his eyes for a moment before speaking. \"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his gaze fell on Judith Pierce’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>",690,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","0178168a31c692c1ee0f1510be6cc5bcbccaccd923c93686d79de2a7f2b9d4d6","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-332","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-330",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
