After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513 Brain Cancer

As she emerged in her new shoes, Michael whispered, "Gigi's birthday is coming up in a few days. You know how much Grandpa cares for Gigi. It broke its leg recently, and Grandpa is really worried. He wants to celebrate its birthday this time. Gigi adores you, and if you could make it, both Grandpa and Gigi would be thrilled."

There was something else he wanted to say—that he would be happy if she attended.

But in the end, he held back, afraid of upsetting Chloe.

Listening to his words, Chloe briefly thought it might be an excuse for him to have her back at the Shawn Manor.

Yet, as she gazed into his calm eyes, she dismissed her suspicions.

Indeed, Gigi had been fond of sticking close to her before. For an older dog like Gigi, its lifespan was already limited.

"I'll see if I can make it. If I have the time, I'll come over. But I can't promise," Chloe replied.

Hearing her response, Michael was already content.

As he watched her drive off in the red Porsche, Michael's gaze lingered on the car until the taillights disappeared.

Only then did he lower his eyes and mutter, "Red 911s are truly hideous!"

Even after all this time, he still couldn't get used to it.

Chloe drove to the airport, arriving just ten minutes before Smith's flight, which was due to land.

She shared her parking location with Smith and patiently waited for him to find her after disembarking.

Half an hour later, the passenger side door opened, and Smith, clad in a black leather jacket, got in.

"Smith, why did you..." Chloe began, but the sight of his pallid face made her halt mid-sentence.

The current Smith sitting beside her looked weathered, with a shaved head and bruises on his hands, which were likely from needle injections.

Chloe was certain of this because Wendy had similar marks on her hands during her unstable health days when she required daily IV drips.

There were only two backs of hands. They could be pricked so many times before swelling and bruising occurred.
