Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Audrey’s POV

I froze outside the living room door, catching snippets of conversation from inside.

“Snow, huh? That’s a good name for you. Are you sure Blake really giving her up?”

My hand stopped mid-air. Snow? That name hit me like a physical blow.

“This is my first time seeing such a beautiful ragdoll cat,” Dr. Clarke continued. “How old is she?”

“About two and a half,” Rachel answered. “She belonged to my friend when she was alive. She took this cat everywhere with her.”

“But now she’s gone, and there’s no one to take care of her,” Rachel continued. “Blake and I are both too busy. We thought you’d be perfect since you love cats so much.”

My mind spun. Ten months ago, when I thought I was dying, I’d given Snow to Ethan. How had Blake ended up with her?

“Your friend,” Dr. Clarke’s voice turned cautious, “the cat’s original owner… that would be Blake Parker’s ex-wife, Audrey Sinclair?”

“Yes,” Rachel confirmed. “Audrey had this cat when I was still a vegetative patient, so I didn’t spend much time with her. But from what I heard, this cat got her through a lot of lonely nights.”

“If Snow meant so much to Audrey,” Dr. Clarke asked, “why give her away? Shouldn’t Blake keep her as a reminder?”

The living room fell into silence.

Adrian squeezed my elbow. “Let’s go in,” he whispered.

He pushed the door open and pulled me into the room.

“Dr. Clarke!” Adrian called. “Look who I’ve brought!”,

Dr. Clarke turned, a white fluffy cat cradled in his arms. When he saw me, his eyes widened.

“You…”

“My wife, Evelyn Knox,” Adrian jumped in. “Remember? You treated her heart condition in Sydney two months ago.”

Understanding ili kered across Dr. Clarke’s face. “Of course! When I saw you last, you were fighting for your life. Multiple organ

failure from that infection.”

He looked me up and down. “Remarkable recovery. This will make an excellent case study.”

I owe you my life,” I replied, getting the message. “Without your expertise, I wouldn’t be here.”

My eyes locked on the white bundle of fur in his arms. “This cat…”

Snow’s ears perked up. She wiggled in Dr. Clarke’s grasp, then leaped to the floor and darted straight toward me. She rubbed against my legs, purring loudly.

I stared down, stunned. Despite my determination to cut ties with my past, something in my chest softened. I knelt and stroked her

familiar fur.

“Wow, kitty!” Emma squealed, crouching beside me. Her small hand reached toward Snow.

“Don’t touch her!” Rachel snapped. “Keep your hands to yourself! She’s skittish!”

Emma’s hand froze mid-air. Her face crumpled as she looked up at Rachel, eyes filling with tears.

“Waaah!” Emma burst into sobs. “I just wanted to pet her! Did Emma do bad?”

‘I didn’t mean

Rachel stammered.
