47 Chapter 47: Sessfully Divorced
Caleb Lockwood was lying on the ground. 1
His face was pale, his expression twisted, drenched in sweat, and he was incoherent.
“Caleb Lockwood!”
Serena Jennings quickly helped Caleb up, calling his name several times, but he didn’t regain consciousness.
She immediately called an ambnce, but it was rush hour, and they said it would take at least thirty minutes
to arrive.
To save time, Serena helped Caleb out of the office and coincidentally ran into ire Shaw.
At first, ire’s expression changed when she saw Serena supporting Caleb.
But she quickly realized something was wrong with Caleb.
“What’s wrong with Caleb?”
“He probably has a stomachache, it’s painful.”
“Why is it so painful all of a sudden?”
Serena cast ire a sidelong nce.
It’s because Caleb went with her to have Sichuan cuisine; otherwise, how could his stomach condition be this
severe?
Toozy to bicker with ire, Serena helped Caleb to the elevator entrance, only to find that the elevator
was under maintenance.
The general manager’s office was on the topmost floor, with the rooftop garden above it.
And there’s only one elevator serving from the 71st to the 79th floors.
“What do we do now? Isn’t the ambnce here yet?” ire was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. Serena said:
“Help me out by letting him lie on my back, and I’ll carry him.”

“What good will it do if you carry him?”
“If you don’t want Caleb to suffer to death, do as I say!”
Shouted at by Serena, ire unwillingly helped and let Caleb lie on Serena’s back.
Serena carried the unconscious Caleb to the emergency stairway.
ire followed alongside and was shocked when she realized what Serena intended to do.
“Are you kidding? This is the 79th floor! Are you seriously going to carry Caleb down 79 floors?!”
“I only need to carry him down 8 floors. Once we reach the 71st floor, we can use another elevator.”
Serena said matter–of–factly and began descending the stairs.
ire had no other option and followed along, constantly reminding Serena to watch her step, making sure
Caleb wasn’t identally dropped.
Serena remained silent.
Although she had practiced martial arts, carrying a grown man down eight floors was exhausting enough to
take half her life.
By the end, she had no energy left even to enter the elevator.
“Let me take it from here, Caleb!”
ire took Caleb, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, from Serena’s hands and helped him into the
elevator.
The elevator descended from the 71st floor to the 1st, precisely when the ambnce arrived.
The timing was perfect.
Serena’s legs wouldn’t move, and she knelt at the elevator entrance for a while, catching several curious
nces from passing colleagues.
When she finally could move, she hailed a cab to the hospital.
Seated in the cab, Serena thought to herself she shouldn’t have gone. 1

Caleb had ire beside him; he didn’t need her at all.
But reason lost to emotion, and she just wanted to go to the hospital to see Caleb, ensuring he wasn’t in
danger.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Serena hadn’t seen Caleb yet but first encountered Lilian Young.
“You actually have the nerve to show up!”
Lilian immediatelyshed out at Serena.
“You’re nothing but bad luck. Since my son married you, nothing good has happened! Our Lockwood Family
has pampered you with good food and drinks,
and yet, you go around flirting and even dare to fuss about divorce. You caused my son to end up like this…
Let me tell you, Serena, if anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off!”
Lilian’s curses echoed down the hospital hallway.
Serena couldn’t help but think she indeed came to the wrong ce.
“Caleb’s stomach pain is because he went to eat Sichuan cuisine with ire. So ire is the one who harmed
your son, not me… Plus, if you dislike me that much, you might as well persuade your son to divorce me soon.
Then whatever happens to the Lockwood Family afterward won’t be med on me.”
Serena coldly said, turned around, and left, ignoring Lilian’s tantrums behind her.
Inside the hospital room, Caleb woke up.
ire was peeling an apple and noticed Caleb’s gaze scanning the room, seemingly searching for someone.
Lilian returned just in time, upon seeing Caleb awake, she immediately cared for him and didn’t forget to
praise ire.
“Did
you know
your fainting exhausted ire? She carried you down eight floors herself and followed the ambnce all the way here, watching over you without sleep or rest! If not for ire, I can’t even imagine
what might have happened to you…”
“Aunty Young, please stop. I didn’t really do anything.” ire shyly lowered her head.
Caleb looked at ire, his gaze as deep as the sea.

“You’ve worked hard.”
ire immediately gripped Caleb’s hand tightly.
“It’s what I should do.”
Caleb only stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged.
His stomach condition was an old ailment, not worth making a fuss over, and there were alwayspany
matters needing his attention.
Now the wholepany was talking-
ire carried the unconscious Caleb down eight floors, bing his savior.
They even said the two were mutually loving each other.
Serena heard it so often she became numb.
Initially, she hesitated about whether she should reveal the truth.
Butter, she felt it wasn’t necessary.
Even if she told the truth, people might not believe her.
Besides, the public perceived her and Caleb as having no rtionship, so why would she carry Caleb down eight floors?
As for Caleb’s perspective…
Serena hade to terms with it.
Letting Caleb misunderstand that ire saved him was fine; it was an opportunity for her to bring up the
divorce.
As the workday ended, Serena brought out the divorce agreement she’d prepared the night before and
knocked on Caleb’s office door.
“President Lockwood, please sign.”
She handed the divorce agreement to Caleb as she would apany document.

Caleb didn’t even raise his head, signing another document, skipping over hers.
“We don’t discuss personal matters in thepany.”
The detachedment left Serena speechless.
Serena had no choice but to take back the divorce agreement, and that’s when ire entered with
medication for Caleb, so she left.
Today, Justin Nash came to pick Serena up after work. As the car started, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Caleb, asking her to return to The Jade Pavilion to continue discussing the personal matter
she’d wanted to discuss after work.
In other words, divorce,
Serena initially didn’t want to go back.
But thinking this time she and Caleb might sessfully get divorced, she asked Justin to take her back to The
Jade Pavilion.
Justin dropped her off at the doorstep.
“I’ll wait right here. If he dares to bully you, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Seeing Justin ready for action, Serena was amused.
Divorce was between her and Caleb; she didn’t want to involve Justin.
No matter how much she tried to persuade him, Justin refused to leave.
Serena took out her key and walked inside.
She’d once returned this key, but Caleb’s grandfather gave it back to her.
There was the sound of running water inside.
When the water stopped, Serena saw Calebing out of the bathroom, only a towel wrapped around his
waist.
Serena averted her gaze, extending the divorce agreement to him.
Caleb reached out, but instead of taking the divorce agreement, he grasped her wrist.

Serena was pulled into Caleb’s embrace with force.
His deep voice resonated in her ears.
“Why insist on divorcing me? You clearly love me so much.”
“Who says I love you?”
Serena struggled.
“If you don’t love me, you wouldn’t have carried me down eight floors.”
