    109 Chapter 109: Dying on the Operating Table


    During the time when Serena was preparing for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, she didn’tpletely disregard the agreement divorce


    with Caleb Lockwood. 1


    Caleb Lockwood was offering her ten percent of the shares, which she couldn’t refuse. She had two choices: either ept, and then she and Caleb Lockwood could dissolve their marital rtionship but be colleagues.


    Or refuse, and the divorce agreement would be void again.


    Serena thought it over and decided to ept.


    She first signed the divorce agreement in three copies and then waited for Caleb Lockwood to return from his business trip abroad.


    This time… she and Caleb Lockwood were really going to get divorced.


    Sitting in the office, Serena looked at the divorce agreement beside her and felt a sense of reflection in her heart.


    She wouldn’t miss Caleb Lockwood, and she certainly wouldn’t miss her shattered marriage.


    What Serena felt was a pity was just her entire decade of youth and love.


    The phone rang once, it was Caleb Lockwood’s reply.


    The reply contained only one word:


    Okay.


    Precious with words, cold as frost.


    Serena sighed.


    Having arranged a time with Caleb Lockwood, Serena took the divorce agreement and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.


    Meanwhile, Caleb Lockwood was also driving, but ire Shaw was sitting in his car; he wanted to drop ire Shaw home first.


    The industrial park was somewhat far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and there was a traffic jam on the way. Serena waited at the red light


    in her car, feeling restless inside.


    Then, a phone call came in.


    Initially, Serena thought it might be Caleb Lockwood arriving first and contacting her because he was impatient.


    Turns out the iing call showed an unknown number.


    “Hello?”


    Serena answered the phone using her Bluetooth headset.


    “Is this Miss Serena Jennings?”


    “I am.”


    09 666

    109 Chapter 109 Dying on the Operating Table


    “Hello, Miss Jennings, this is Serene Meadows Nursing Home. We deeply apologize, but a new intern made a mistake, and your mother


    has secretly run away from the nursing home…


    “What?!”


    Serena nearly mmed on the brakes after she passed the intersection.


    “We are extremely sorry, we have already contacted the police, becausest time you mentioned that any issues should be reported to


    you first instead of President Lockwood, so…”


    Serena couldn’t pay attention to anything beyond that.


    Her mother had run away!


    Even though her mother had periods of coherence before, she was sometimes lucid, sometimes confused. Running away like this would


    definitely lead to trouble!


    Serena sharply turned the steering wheel, her white BMW three–series beautifully rounded the corner.


    This road was not heading towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.


    Inside the emperor blue Bentley.


    ire Shaw was smiling brightly.


    “Caleb, are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce today?”


    “Yes


    Seeing Caleb Lockwood nod without a moment’s hesitation, ire Shaw secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Finally… they’re getting divorced…


    The day she had eagerly awaited was finally arriving!


    ire Shaw couldn’t contain her joy and excitement inside, but on the surface, she still maintained a calm demeanor, especially in front


    of Caleb Lockwood.


    As they approached her home ahead, Caleb Lockwood’s phone suddenly rang.


    Caleb Lockwood pressed the answer button on the steering wheel directly.


    “Hello, is this Mr. Caleb Lockwood?”


    The man’s voice emitted from the car system surprised ire Shaw.


    “I am,” Caleb Lockwood replied.


    “This <b>is </b>the City Center Hospital, your wife Miss Serena Jennings was just in a car ident. She was speeding on the way to find her


    missing mother and collided with a truck. She has now been sent to the ICU for emergency rescue. Family needs toe over to sign


    the paperwork.”


    09:56


    2/5.

    109 Chapter 109: Dying on the Operating Table


    The hospital staff seemed ustomed to such matters; their tone was bureaucratic, without any trace of sympathy or regret.


    In the car, all was silent.


    Even ire Shaw sitting in the passenger seat was amazed.


    However, Caleb Lockwood’s expression remained unchanged.


    “I understand.”


    After speaking, he hung up the phone.


    “Caleb, let’s hurry to the hospital to check on Serena!”


    ire Shaw hurriedly said.


    She wanted to see if Serena could make it out of the ICU.


    It would be best if she died in there, once and for all.


    However, Caleb Lockwood drove silently to her building.


    “Caleb, don’t you want me to go to the hospital?”


    Before getting out of the car, ire Shaw turned to ask Caleb Lockwood, her eyes filled with a sense of being untrusted.


    “No.”


    Caleb Lockwood shook his head.


    “It’s me who’s not going to the hospital.”


    “What?”


    ire Shaw was astonished.


    “I have some matters to attend to first, so I’m not going to the hospital yet. I’ll go over after I’m done.”


    Caleb Lockwood’s tone was calm, neither cold nor warm, making it difficult for ire Shaw to decipher.


    Serena had gotten into a car ident and was sent to the ICU, her fate uncertain, yet Caleb Lockwood actually said he needed to handle


    other matters first before heading to the hospital?


    ire Shaw found it incredible yet <b>felt </b>a surge of secret joy in her heart.


    It seems, Caleb Lockwood truly doesn’t care for Serena one bit,


    Not only does he not care, he doesn’t even care whether she’s dead or alive.


    ire Shaw couldn’t help but want tough, butughing at this moment would be too disrespectful; it could only leave a negative


    impression in Caleb Lockwood’s mind.


    “Then Caleb, be careful on your way, and keep me updated with any developments at the hospital, you know I want to be there with <b>you</b>. If needed, I’m even willing to assist at the hospital; I’m not that narrow–minded, in such situations, one more person is one more help!”

    ire Shaw’s attitude was sincere, Caleb Lockwood nodded after hearing her.


    “Okay, I’ll contact you then.”


    The emperor blue Bentley disappeared from ire Shaw’s view. She stood still, arms crossed, unable to contain her pride and joy inside.


    “What a fitting end for a wretched soul!”


    Serena, this time, just die on the operating table!


    Cupid’s Royal International Wedding Manor.


    Cynthia Fulton emerged from the changing room.


    “Justin, what do you think of this one?”


    She lifted herrge skirt and struck a pose in front of Justin Nash.


    Justin Nash merely nced at Cynthia Fulton, said “very beautiful,” and then continued to y on his phone.


    This was his reaction since Cynthia Fulton tried on the first set of wedding attire.


    Now, she was already on her seventh set.


    Cynthia Fulton wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t deceive herself.


    She was well aware that Justin Nash’s thoughts weren’t on her.


    The two had originally met through an arranged marriage, a family alliance,cking emotional foundation, so this reaction was normal.


    However, Cynthia Fulton didn’t want to concede.


    She received elite education from childhood to adulthood, and she wanted to choose a husband who matched her status and elite


    background.


    Justin Nash, whether in terms of status or appearance and age, perfectly met her criteria.


    Cynthia Fulton didn’t im to be particrly fond of Justin Nash.


    Men were never to be loved,


    Men were to be conquered.


    Cynthia Fulton didn’t believe that with her conditions, Justin Nash wouldn’t fall for her.


    If not now, certainly in the future.


    “Justin, I have changed into ten different wedding dresses, which one do you think looks best?”


    “Everything looks good.”


    Justin Nash’s response was perfunctory, yet Cynthia Fulton smiled.


    “I can’t possibly take photos in all ten sets, changing is too exhausting, and the photographer says we have to choose one as the main

    wedding dress.”


    Even after saying this, Justin Nash still didn’t know how to respond.


    Cynthia Fulton had chosen every gown, all stunning and luxuriously elegant, entirely consisting ofrge train designs, either encrusted


    with crystals and diamonds or boratelyced.


    Looking at them, Justin Nash felt each was nearly the same.


    He stood up from the sofa and picked the most understated design among the dazzling array of dresses-


    Without embellishment, purely white satin princess square–neck small train wedding dress.


    “Why not try this one?” Justin Nash suggested.


    Cynthia Fulton liked this dress the least, it was too simple, but since Justin Nash rmended it, she dly took it and went into the


    fitting room.


    In truth, Justin Nash himself didn’t think this wedding dress suited Cynthia Fulton.


    He thought it fit Serena Jennings.


    Inside the changing room, while switching dresses, Cynthia Fulton seemed to hear Justin Nash answer a phone call outside.


    “Justin, I’m ready?


    She walked out of the changing room wearing the gown Justin Nash chose for her.


    Outside, Justin Nash, who was supposed to be sitting on the sofa waiting for her, was nowhere to be seen.
