The Humble Ex-wife is Now A Brilliant Tycoon

Chapter 300:

Brendon straightened and looked at Katie. “Stay here and look after Yolanda. I’m going to Kitaso. I’ll find King, no matter what.”

“Brendon, I’m coming too,” Katie insisted, determination lighting her face. He didn’t argue. Without another word, the two of them rushed out of the hospital room, united in desperation and hope.

At Kitaso Hospital, Chloe spotted Christina and rushed over, wrapping her arms around Christina in a tight embrace. “Christina, you’re finally back,” she blurted out, clinging to Christina for reassurance.

Christina blinked in surprise, her arms instinctively coming up to hold Chloe. “What are you doing here?” she asked, warmth softening her tone.

After taking her medication, Chloe’s health had improved significantly, and her vision had recovered enough to see clearly.

Chloe’s cheeks dimpled as she offered a sheepish smile. “I was so worried about Dylan that I begged Ralphy to bring me,” she explained. “I’m sorry if I caused trouble.”

“Don’t be silly,” Christina remarked, ruffling Chloe’s hair with a gentle hand. “You don’t need to apologize. I just didn’t want you to wander around on your own and get into trouble.”

Chloe’s eyes darted to the elegant dessert box in Christina’s hand. “Is that the dessert Dr. Emmett wanted you to pick up?” she asked, curiosity lighting her face.

Christina let out a soft chuckle and nodded. “Yeah. This is the one Dr. Emmett loves, but it’s nearly impossible to find. I had to hunt all over town before I finally tracked it down.”

Edwin tapped the glossy dessert box, brows raised in mild disbelief. “Do all brilliant minds come with their own set of quirks?” he mused, his tone laced with curiosity. “Who’d have guessed Dr. Emmett insists on a particular dessert after surgery?”

“Probably,” Christina replied, casting a brief, searching look at the closed doors of the operating room. “Is the operation still going?”

Chloe answered softly, “It’s not over yet.”

“Don’t worry,” Christina assured Chloe, her voice steady. “With Dr. Emmett there, it should be fine.”

Edwin’s expression shifted, a glint of secrecy in his eyes. “He’s not the only one in there.”

Christina played along, feigning surprise. “Oh? Is there someone even more skilled?”

Leaning in, Edwin dropped his voice to a dramatic whisper. “Yes. King is performing the surgery.”noveldrama

In Edwin’s book, King hadn’t shown up yet when Calvin sent Christina out for dessert, so naturally, Christina couldn’t have known about King’s involvement.

Christina’s calculated gasp echoed through the hall, eyes flashing with measured disbelief. “Wait, are you serious? You mean King—the legendary King?”

Edwin nodded with all the confidence of someone announcing a miracle. “Absolutely. It’s really him. Dylan’s in the best hands possible.”

“With King here, Dylan will definitely be fine!” Christina exclaimed, letting mock excitement dance in her voice.

Christina slipped seamlessly into her role, never betraying a hint of her own secret. None of the three present had the faintest clue that King was standing right in front of them. Later, when the truth finally unraveled and they realized King was Christina all along, the revelation left them floored—outraged, awed, and just a little betrayed. And surely, they weren’t the only ones Christina had managed to fool. Maybe knowing that would help ease the sting.
