The Dead Fiancé's Return: Too Late, She's His Uncle's Wife Now novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

“Which person?” Cathy’s voice sounded puzzled.

Calls thought for a moment but didn’t give an answer, only saying, “It’s nothing, go rest early.”

He decided to keep it from her and investigate personally.

“But… Calix..” Cathy wanted to use this opportunity to call Calix over and spend time with him, but

he had already hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end, Cathy bit her lip in frustration. Although Calix agreed to be in a relationship with her, it seemed like she couldn’t find the same feelings as before. He used to stay on the phone until she hung up. Just by calling him “Enzy,” he would do anything for her. But now, it seemed like he was no longer like that. What did he mean by his recent statement?

Cathy pondered over it but couldn’t figure out the reason. The current Calix had become increasingly inscrutable to her. She couldn’t help but rub her temples, and suddenly, someone firmly grasped her shoulders from behind.

In the next moment, her waist tightened as she fell into a warm embrace. “Drinking alone is boring. I’ll keep you company,” a flirtatious voice whispered in her ear.

In the dim light, the man’s outline was visible, but due to backlighting, she couldn’t see his face clearly. His voice in this hazy night was especially alluring. His long fingers skillfully pinched her waist, causing Cathy to tremble uncontrollably.

The man was about to lean in for a kiss when Cathy pushed him away abruptly, then retreated quite a distance. “Why did you come?” Her expression turned cold, and her tone followed suit.

The man remained concealed in the shadows, slowly crossing his arms. “On such a romantic night, wouldn’t it be a very lonely night?” His voice was languid, with a hint of indifference.

“I’m not lonely,” Cathy controlled her emotions and said, “You should leave. It’s not good for people to see us together.”

The man let out a light chuckle. “Just a moment ago, you clearly had feelings for me.”

“That was just a normal reaction. It doesn’t mean anything. “Cathy tried to hide her embarrassment by taking a swig of alcohol.

“Are you afraid that Calix will find out?” The man was blunt.

The hand holding the wine glass suddenly stiffened. In the past, the thing she disliked the most was when others used Calix to pressure her. However, after a moment, she nodded. “You’re right

The man tilted his head and chuckled softly. “Is this the same carefree Cathy? I almost don’t

recognize you.”

“Don’t provoke me, and don’t think that your words can still get to me.” Cathy looked earnestly at the man. “I’m not the same person I was four years ago. I know what to do and what not to do.”

Four years ago, relying on Calix’s affection, she was stubborn, arrogant and indulgent.

She knew that no matter what decisions she made, Calix would protect her–even if she willfully decided to marry his best friend and have a child. Although they lost all contact after that, Calix still took her in when she was at the end of her rope.

Even though she firmly believed that she had always been the woman Calix loved the most, his marriage to Kelly had always been a thorn in her side.

After losing Calix once, she had experienced many hardships in the four years that followed. It dawned on her that she had to hold onto what she had.

“You should leave,” she said, turning her back to him.

With a light chuckle, the man left in a hurry, showing no signs of interest.

With the cup in her hand, Cathy pressed it to her chest. She had finally found the person she had lost four years ago. This time, she wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes. She was determined to become Calix’s true Mrs. Quinn and grow with him, like a garden that flourishes under the sun’s warm

embrace.

“President Quinn, this way, please,” said Linda, guiding Calix to a private hospital instead of going to the office during working hours.

They didn’t enter the hospital but headed to the cafe next door.

“The hospital has kept this matter tightly concealed, and no one dares to talk about it outside. I spen some money to have someone find the attending doctor involved in this incident,” Linda whispered as they walked.

She was wearing a neat uniform that accentuated her slim and tall figure. Her high heels made a

light tapping sound on the ground, crisp and decisive.

Linda quickly reached the cafe’s entrance and opened the door for Caliz. “The attending doctor is inside. The initial steps have been taken and the groundwork has been laid. Whatever you want to ask, he will tell you everything.”

As an assistant, Linda was diligent and capable.

Calix remained composed, not showing any reaction throughout the process.

Linda had gotten used to his seriousness and led him to the entrance of a private room. “He’s inside.”

Suddenly, Calix quickened his pace and grasped the door handle.

Linda’s brows furrowed slightly.

It was rare for her to see Calix so uncomposed. In her memory, no matter how big the occasion or dangerous the situation, he was always calm and collected, never losing his composure.

Calix didn’t immediately turn the handle but hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t clear what he was

thinking.

Linda could only see the mature and handsome face of the man, with his thick eyebrows knit together, and his eyes deep and contemplative. His lips were tightly pressed together.

A few seconds later, he pushed open the door and entered.

Inside the private room, a middle–aged man was already seated. His appearance was characterized by a few extra pounds, but his neat and tidy look and the faint scent of disinfectant that lingered around him suggested that he was a seasoned medical practitioner.

Seeing Calix, the man immediately sat upright. Without any introduction, he stood up, his eyes showing a hint of unease as he looked at Calix.

The presence of Calix before him was imposing, and he didn’t seem like an ordinary person at a”

“Please sit,” Calix said calmly.

The man sat back down.

“This is President Quinn. Please tell him everything you know,” Linda’said.

The man glanced at Linda, nodding nervously.
