Chapter 513
Connor's face fell. "But why?"
Teddy replied gravely, "Diana lost one of her legs. It had to be amputated."
Connor felt his heart plummet, his face paling with the news. Chloe was equally taken aback. Diana had been in a terrible car accident.
Since the reality show wrapped up, Chloe hadn't really seen Diana. Her memories of Diana were still tied to their time on the show and that unforgettable moment when Claire had them both tied up on a yacht, making Connor choose between them.
Chloe later found out that after she had jumped into the sea, Diana had done the same. Chloe couldn't fathom why Diana would take such a drastic step, but it was clear that Diana placed Connor above all else, even her own life—a dangerous sign.
Connor furrowed his brows, deep in thought. Suddenly, he asked, "How did she end up in an accident? Is Claire involved?"
His first instinct was to suspect Claire. After the last incident, even though he had told Diana he wouldn't look after her anymore, he hadn't actually pulled back the people secretly protecting her.
Teddy explained, "This time, it's not about Chloe, but it does relate to you and Ms. Eve."
Connor frowned, "Explain."
"I did some digging. On the night of your courthouse wedding, Ms. Eve sent Diana a slew of photos and videos. Diana was driving on the highway, got distracted, and crashed. Now, the Gilbert and Nagel families are at each other's throats. Desmond even showed up with a baseball bat, threatening to break Eve's leg. She had to kneel in the chapel for a whole day and night as punishment. Jeffery knows about this too, and he wants you to go back and sort everything out." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Jeffery stressed that since this whole thing started because of you, you need to clean up the mess. You have to smooth things over with both the Gilbert and Nagel families. They have important partnerships with the Sartori family. Diana losing her leg is tragic, but if these families fall out, it could destroy years of collaboration, leading to layoffs and shattered lives. Jeffery says this is a major issue, and you must fix it." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Connor's gaze turned icy. "Got it. You can leave now."
Once Teddy exited, Chloe spoke up, "You should go back and take care of this. Come back once it's all sorted."
Connor asked, "I'm going to see Diana. Will that bother you?"
Chloe smiled, shaking her head. "You're my husband now. I trust you completely."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Connor felt warmth spread in his chest. He took Chloe's hand and, after a brief pause, said, "I'll be back as soon as I can, to go with you to Cassie's birthday party."
Connor had promised to attend Cassie's birthday bash with her. Chloe smiled gently, "Take your time. Come back when everything's settled. We can always catch up with Cassie another time."
"Alright."
Three hours later, Connor arrived at
the largest private hospital in
Eldridge City Harmony Hospital. Teddy followed him in, explaining, "Diana just had her amputation. surgery and woke up less than two hours ago. She's not doing well emotionally, struggling to come to terms with losing her left leg. Mr. President, you should brace yourself." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
