Chapter 678

 678:
“You and Jeffery seem to be getting close these days.”
Linsey gave him a puzzled look. “Do we?”
Gorman nodded, his expression unreadable. “He seems awfully concerned about you.”
She shrugged lightly, brushing it off. “Well, I did sort of save his life. I guess he’s just being polite.”
To her, it had just been a favor—playing her part to persuade Carol to agree to the bone marrow match, just a way to ease his family’s burden.
Gorman didn’t respond right away. After a moment, he murmured under his breath, “You really have a talent for saving people.”
“Pardon?” Linsey asked, not quite catching what he said.
He smiled quickly, shifting the mood. “Nothing important.”
Then, in a lighter tone, he added, “Your check-up’s done. You must be starving. Let me get you something to eat.”
“Alright.”
Although Linsey’s medical report came back mostly fine, Gorman remained cautious. He insisted she stay a few more days for observation before being discharged.
Linsey didn’t argue. In fact, she was grateful.
Staying a bit longer gave her a chance to truly rest—physically and mentally.
Collin had promised to give her space, and now, all she had to do was sign the divorce papers, send them to him, and head to the courthouse when the time came to finalize everything.
“Oh, by the way, I’ve already found a lawyer for you. Just let me know what you want written in the divorce agreement, and I’ll pass it on,” Gorman said gently.
Linsey paused to think, then said gently, “I don’t need anything else. There’s no need to claim more. Collin has promised to stop involving himself with me from now on. Once we’ve both signed the agreement, we can go to the courthouse to finalize the paperwork.”
Hearing this, Gorman’s eyebrows furrowed briefly before relaxing.

At first, he felt somewhat displeased that Linsey chose not to claim a share of Collin’s assets. Given Collin’s deceit over the years, Gorman believed she deserved compensation.
However, his dissatisfaction faded the moment Linsey mentioned completing the divorce documents.
Gorman considered it better that Linsey didn’t pursue Collin’s wealth. He knew he could provide whatever she might need in the future.
For him, the priority was to finalize Linsey and Collin’s divorce quickly.
“Alright, since you’ve decided, I’ll instruct the lawyer to prepare the agreement immediately. After you sign it, we’ll send it to Collin,” Gorman said, supporting Linsey’s decision.
Linsey nodded, then looked sincerely at Gorman. “Thank you, Gorman. You’ve been a great support these past few days.”
She hesitated, feeling slightly guilty, and added, “About what happened to your shoulder and hand last time, I still…”
