?Chapter 764:


    She had been lying there helpless, and not only had he refused to help her, but he had even prodded her with his foot.


    “Stop pretending. I know you’re faking it. Putting on an act to garner sympathy won’t work on me,” he had said coldly. And with that, he turned away and walked off without a nce back.


    Even a stranger would have shown morepassion to someone who fainted. And yet, this was her husband.


    As her vision dimmed, she strained to keep her eyes open, watching his blurry figure grow smaller and smaller as he walked away.<fn5f73> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find{n}ovel</fn5f73>


    Eventually, darkness imed her, and when she woke, she found herself in a hospital bed—after a full day and night had passed. It was Bethel who had found Christina and rushed her to the hospital.


    Bethel had torn into Brendon afterward, furious over what had happened. Previously, Bethel had nned to hand over the Dawson Group to Brendon, but that incident changed everything. Christina admitted that those memories still hurt—not because of Brendon, but because of how pitiful she had been.


    Christina hadn’t noticed the three men around her, all staring at her with furrowed brows and bitter expressions. They all assumed she still had feelings for Brendon. Even after he had left, her eyes had remained fixed on his back, as though her mind had wandered elsewhere.


    Robin, the youngest among the three men, couldn’t keep quiet any longer and muttered irritably, “Seriously, he’s gone. Why are you still staring?” His tone wasced with frustration, his patience wearing thin.


    Dn’s and Elliott’s mere presence had already grated on Robin’s nerves, and Christina’s reaction to her ex-husband pushed him over the edge.


    “Mind your own business, kiddo,” Christina snapped, shaking herself out of her daze and offering him a faint smile.

    Robin nearly jumped to his feet, bristling with indignation. “Don’t call me kiddo anymore! And that guy is a worthless jerk—what’s there to dwell on?”


    “I’m not,” Christina replied with a tired sigh.


    “Oh, really? Because it sure looks like you still have a thing for him,” Robin shot back, his voice thick with jealousy.


    Christina almost spoke up to exin herself, but the words died on her lips. She didn’t owe them an exnation—not about her past, and definitely not about her heart.


    “Cat got your tongue?” Robin asked darkly, his tone sulky. Even so, his eyes gleamed with anticipation, clearly hoping Christina would offer an exnation.


    And it wasn’t just him—Dn and Elliott were watching Christina just as intently, holding their breath, waiting to hear what she had to say. Christina’s expression hardened. “It’s a private matter.”


    Her cold replynded like a p. A flicker of disappointment passed through the three men’s eyes, tinted with envy. To them, it sounded like Brendon still held a ce in her heart.


    “We should go join the others,” Christina added, turning to leave without looking back.
