No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 372

Her outfit suited her perfectly, and her subtle makeup made her look even more beautiful. The design of the suit accentuated her figure, while the high ponytail made her look youthful and chic. The blue color brought out an understated, pure elegance in her.

York's gaze deepened as he watched her. His voice was slightly hoarse when he finally spoke. "You knew I was injured and in the hospital. Where did you go?"

Claudia placed the flowers down and walked to his bedside. With a dead-serious expression, she said, "York, let's get a divorce. It's for the best—for you, for me, for everyone."

They stared at each other for what felt like a full minute.

Suddenly, York threw back the covers and got out of bed. His eyes were bloodshot as he trapped her in a tight embrace. "Can't you see I'm hurt?"

Unable to break free, Claudia let him hold her. Her voice was light and detached. "Everyone gets hurt. As long as you're not dying, it's not a big deal."

"Let's get a divorce," she continued. "Maybe we can even be friends someday."

York understood the meaning behind her words. A sudden panic seized him, and his arms tightened around her unconsciously. With red-rimmed eyes, he said, word by word, "You want a divorce? Over my dead body."

Sensing he was losing control, Claudia tried to de-escalate. "Let's talk calmly. Just let me go first."

York stubbornly held her tighter, burying his face in the crook of her neck. His muffled voice was laced with a sense of grievance. "Let me hold you for a minute," he pleaded.

Just as Claudia was trying to figure out how to get him to release her, a knock came at the door. Mark, York's parents, and two nurses entered.

The group stopped awkwardly in their tracks, taking in the intimate scene before them.

Mark was completely bewildered. Wendy, too, hadn't expected to see them like this. Even Sewell was momentarily stunned.

He whispered to Wendy, "Maybe their relationship isn't as bad as we thought."

Wendy pulled Sewell out of the room.
