Chapter 208
In the afternoon. Felicia was being discharged from the hospital.
She stood at the door on purpose, speaking loudly, “Alastor, you came to pick me up”
It was obviously meant for Anastasia to hear
Anastasia leaned against the hospital bed, looking at the sketchbook in her hand, without even lifting her head.
“Let Lionel take you home,” Alastor sidestepped Felicia, entered the ward, and closed the door behind him.
“Mr. Lopez, aren’t you busy?” Anastasia asked casually
*Did Madeline come to see you?” Alastor asked as he walked to the bedside.
“Are you spying on me?” Anastasia put down the sketchbook and looked up at Alastor. “What? Suspecting again that I’m teaming up with Madeline against you!”
Anastasia had grown accustomed to Alastor’s lack of trust.
“No…” Alastor took a deep breath. “I don’t want you involved. The troubles between my dad, Madeline, and the company are complicated.”

part in your family’s issues, so to be safe, it’s best if we get divorced soon,” Anastasia said, looking at Alastor.
“Annic… Alastor sat by the hospital bed. “Madeline isn’t an easy woman to deal with. She’s very cunning. Neither you nor my mom can Just steer clear of her from now on.
Alastor reached for Anastasia’s hand, but she withdrew,
Alastor felt a slight ache in his heart and spoke softly, “I brought you your favorite salmon sushi.“

Anastasia glanced at the lunch box Alastor brought. The fancy packaging clearly indicated it was from a high–end restaurant, as if cleanliness, refinement, and luxury were all written on the packaging
“Alastor…” Anastasia looked at the sushi box. “Who told you I love salmon?”
“You…” Alastor was caught off guard. “It’s often at home, so I assumed you liked it.”
“Aren’t you the one who loves salmon? You’re so picky, always wanting the best ingredients, the freshest salmon. Anastasia smirked sarcastically. “Actually, if you thought about it a bit, you’d realize that in that household, I didn’t have any hobbies of my own.”
All her interests were connected to Alastor.
She shared Alastor’s tastes, enjoying the same foods he did.
“Sorry “Alastor lowered his head. “IT be more careful in the future.”
“There’s no future for us, Alastor. Anastasia put the salmon back on the table. I should be discharged soon. When that day comes, pick me up and we’ll get the divorce certificate.”
She really hoped it wouldn’t reach the point of going to court.
“Anastasia, I’ve told you that the company has been dealing with many issues recently. We can’t divorce now, Alastor said in a low voice. “Are you really that impatient?”
Anastasia couldn’t help but find it funny. “What goes around comes around. I didn’t want a divorce before, but you were in such a hurry“ “Anastasia, we can’t move on from the past, can we? You keep bringing is up to lecture me. If you’re doing this to make me change, I will change.” It was clear that Alastor didn’t want a divorce now.
“Change” Do you even care, Alastor?” Anastasia’s voice was shaky. “I’ve been in the hospital and just lost a baby. Even if you’re not my anymore, you’re still a man. Your mind’s on the company and Felicia. Have you ever cared about me?

“Did you even ask about my meals? It was Jason who looked after me and brought me meals on time. If I had to rely on you, I’d already be gone, Alastor!”
Alastor paused, clenching his fists. They didn’t bring you meals?”

He had clearly y instructed Lionel that every
ery meal, three times a day, must be prepared and delivered on time with the most nutritious ingredients. He had even called the chef personally to discuss Anastasia’s preferences.
He was surprised to find out the meals hadn’t been delivered.
“Have they all been sent to Felicia? Lionel delivers every meal to her without fail,” Anastasia sald calmly, watching Alastor’s reaction.
Alastor’s face fell as he tightened his grip on his phone, his anger evident. “Wait for me….”
