Chapter 121

Chapter 121: The living room fell silent. Cathy stood frozen, her face ghostly pale as she gripped her clothes tightly. “I truly made a mistake in this matter, I”¦”’ “Forget it,”’ Allen interjected with a dismissive wave and a cold chuckle. “Even though Miss Miller was at fault, it would be beneath her to apologize to just a security guard for her actions, wouldn’t it? It would be rather embarrassing, right?”’ Anthony scoffed, “Always quick to act but slow to admit””just like three years ago! No change at all!”’ Each comment seemed to drain more color from Cathy’s face. She reflexively clung to Kristopher’s sleeve, her complexion ashen. “Kristopher”¦”’ Tears streamed down her face as she gazed up at him. “You asked to see my medical records from overseas, and I had them brought over immediately”¦ It took a while to get the international documents. When I got them, I rushed over to share the good news with you”¦ But then I was stopped at the gate, and in my panic”¦”’ As she continued, her tears flowed freely, her eyes like overflowing springs. “I know I was wrong, and I only lied just now to”¦ to try to preserve some dignity for myself. I’m certainly capable of apologizing.”’ Cathy sniffed, suddenly releasing Kristopher’s hand, and dashed toward the security guard, dropping to her knees with a loud thud. The room was stunned by her sudden action.

I never expected to be corrected so swiftly”¦ I apologize to you, and to show my remorse, I will have my assistant reach out to give you a card loaded with a hundred thousand dollars. You can use it to buy something you like”¦ as a gesture of my apology. And once more, I sincerely apologize!”’ With those final words, Cathy remained on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably, unable to rise. “Cathy!”’ Kristopher snapped to his senses and hurried over, trying to help Cathy to her feet. But Cathy seemed completely drained from crying and collapsed onto the floor. The security guard quickly stepped in to assist, and together with Kristopher, they lifted Cathy back up. Kristopher cradled her head against his shoulder and shouted to Stanley, “Call an ambulance!”’ Stanley paused, his gaze flicking to Anthony for direction. Anthony gestured with his hand, signaling Stanley to hurry. With that, Stanley quickly walked off. “Cathy”¦”’ Cathy rested her head on Kristopher’s shoulder, murmuring, “The medical records you asked for”¦ I’ve gathered them all. I didn’t deceive you”¦ My stomach cancer”¦ It’s very serious. I’m not someone who lies; today was the first exception”¦”’ After speaking, she raised her head toward Belinda, her voice feeble, saying, “Miss Nelson, you asked for an apology, and I gave it”¦ What more do you want from me?”’ Belinda knitted her brows and said, “What do I want from you? When you hurt someone, apologizing is the right thing to do, right?”’ Belinda’s response caused Cathy’s breathing to quicken noticeably.
