" " Excuse me, Ms. Mitchell , are you being accused of interfering in Francesca and Christopher's marriage ? Are you actually the real mistress ?

It wasn't just a baseless rumor ; they even attached photos of her and Christopher at the hospital , causing a huge uproar . Especially at this moment , Francesca also released a video . Having debuted as a champion , she had accumulated a considerable fanbase , and now she tearfully accused Adeline of stealing her husband , which only fueled the public outcry . The emergency exits at the venue were completely blocked by the crowd . Francesca's fans , seeing the trending topic , were especially furious . They spoke out for their idol , hurling insults , slander , and maliciously edited photos . Some even went so far as to publish Adeline's personal information , causing her phone to be bombarded with calls , forcing her to turn it off . With so many people surrounding her , some irrational individuals turned whatever they had in their hands into weapons , throwing them at Adeline . Several bottles of water , filled with malice , flew toward her . At that moment , Christopher pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Adeline .

After finally escaping the crowd , Christopher hurriedly took Adeline to the hospital , ignoring his own condition and immediately finding a doctor to examine her injuries . Christopher was worried about Adeline and wanted her to get a CT scan , but she refused . " Just get one , please . If everything's fine , I'll feel much more at ease . " Seeing Christopher anxiously trying to persuade her , Adeline didn't give him a smile . Instead , all the grievances she'd been suppressing suddenly burst out : " Christopher , you're Francesca's husband now . Stay away from me . " Christopher hurried to explain : " I'm going to get a divorce soon , I promise . " Adeline pulled her hand out of his grasp : " Promise ? What am I supposed to feel reassured about ? Do you think I'll be grateful just because you helped me out today ? If Francesca wasn't so obsessed with you , I wouldn't be caught up in this mess at all . " Christopher placed his hand on Adeline's shoulder : " Addie , please , just give me another chance . I'll clear everything up and make it up to you . I'll handle things with Francesca too ... " At that moment , Jonathan appeared , knocking on the door and interrupting their conversation : " Addie , are you done ? " Knowing Adeline was in a difficult position and that there were still many haters outside , Jonathan didn't wait for her reply . He stepped forward , took her hand , and prepared to leave with her . Christopher refused to let go , yanking Adeline back and placing her behind him . " Jonathan , don't think I don't know what you're up to . Coveting my woman ? You're not even close to being capable of that . " Jonathan wasn't about to back down : " Your woman ? Christopher , you're a married man . If you really care about her , you should stay away ! " Neither of them was willing to give in , and they even started to fight , exchanging punches and kicks . Adeline wanted to step forward and stop them , but a dull pain began in her stomach .

In the hospital , as they watched the unconscious Adeline , the two men anxiously paced outside the ward . The doctor came out : " The patient's cancer cells are showing signs of spreading . We'll need to run further tests to determine the specifics . " Christopher was in disbelief : " How is that possible ? Last time you said it was under control ! " The doctor explained : " Cancer cells are inherently unpredictable . The patient's heart rate and cortisol levels have spiked abnormally , clearly due to intense emotional stress . Her immune system dropped sharply , giving the cancer cells an opportunity to spread . " Intense emotional stress ? Christopher's mind flashed back to the events of the afternoon , and a surge of burning anger shot straight to his head . He left the ward and , facing his subordinate , gritted out two words : " Bring her . " The smell of disinfectant grew stronger as Francesca was dragged forward by the bodyguards , her arms held tightly . It wasn't until she saw the sign for the intensive care unit at the end of the corridor that she suddenly began to struggle : " Let go of me ! Christopher ! Make them let go of me ! " Christopher watched her slanderous video about Adeline on his phone : " I already sent you the divorce papers . You're the one who refuses to sign them . " Francesca laughed out loud : " As long as I don't sign , our marriage still counts . No matter how much you love Adeline , she can only ever be the mistress !
