Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1388

Lena was taken aback. She could not come up with an answer to the question, nor could she respond well.

"Chris... Renee isn't my enemy."

"You're the one who isn't treating her like one!" Chris sighed in exasperation. "But what about her? She despises you to the core. She not only sees you as an enemy but as a nemesis!"

Lena's fists clenched tightly at her side.

"I'm not trying to stir up trouble between you." Chris held her shoulders. "I'm just using my military experience to tell you that mutual sacrifices happen frequently on the battlefield. A bullet won't change its course because you're retreating, and an enemy won't spare you just because you're stepping back!

"Your retreat will only make her more overbearing! Just because Pammy is in the middle doesn't mean you should be hesitant!"

Lena was stunned. Chris' words struck a chord and made her see the depth of his concern.

After a long silence, she smiled, her cheeks blushing like peach petals.

Chris was entranced, as if her smile lit up the whole world. "Lenny, I—"

"Let's go help Lina with her discharge procedures first," Lena interrupted with a smile.

"Oh."

"She's only a little over a month pregnant, and she's been a bit exhausted lately. The doctor said she needs to finish the nutrient drip before going home."

"Mm..."

"After we're done with the paperwork, let's go in together!"

"Oh, sure..." Chris' eyes lit up suddenly. "What did you say?"

"I said, let's go in together, help Lina tidy up, and then take them home!"
