Chapter 323 Where Is She Now?
The moment Hugh’s eyes met Bethan’s, he instinctively pushed Alina aside.
Alina didn’t seem to care about Hugh’s attitude toward
her.
She smiled and greeted Bethan politely. “What a coincidence, Dr. Olsen.”
Bethan and Joe stepped out of the elevator, giving a polite nod in response.
Bethan never once looked at Hugh.
Watching Bethan walk away, Alina couldn’t help but comment, “No wonder Mr. Cavill insists on remarrying. Your ex-wife really is beautiful.”
When Alina got no response from Hugh, she glanced at him and saw that he was lost in thought.
She spoke up again, snapping him out of it. “Mr. Cavill, let me take you back to your hospital room.”

After Alina got Hugh settled back in his room, she called for the doctor.
The doctor examined Hugh, cleaned his wound, and set up an IV drip.
Looking at Alina, the doctor said, “Are you a family member? How could you be so careless? This is the third time this wound has bled and gotten infected.”
He paused, shaking his head. “From now on, he can’t leave the hospital. He needs complete rest and should stay in bed.”
Alina glanced at Hugh, then quickly replied, “Sorry, doctor. I’m just a friend, not family. But I’ll make sure his family takes care of him.”
Shortly after the doctor left, Mason and Gwen rushed in.
Seeing the two of them show up like it was an emergency, Alina picked up her purse tactfully. “Since you’re here, I’ll head out now.”
After leaving Hugh’s room, Alina went over to the outpatient building to pick up medicine for her

grandmother.
At the clinic, she ran into Bethan and Joe again.
The moment Joe saw Alina walking straight toward Bethan, he quietly slipped back into the consultation
room.
In the hallway, Alina stopped one step away from Bethan.
“I only drove Mr. Cavill to the hospital,” she said. “Please don’t misunderstand, Dr. Olsen.”
Bethan let out a small, amused breath. “Ms. Potter, Hugh and I are already divorced. You don’t need to explain anything to me.”
Alina’s expression stayed sincere. “But Mr. Cavill has been fighting with his family because of you. It’s obvious he cares about you a lot.”
Bethan’s face cooled instantly. “That’s his business. It has nothing to do with me.”
Alina softened her tone. “Don’t worry, Dr. Olsen. I’m not Megan.

man.”
Seeing Bethan remain silent, Alina continued, “Mr. Cavill is currently the most suitable partner I’ve found for a marriage alliance. I want to give it a try.”
Bethan answered calmly, “Ms. Potter, Hugh and I are divorced. Whatever happens next, I’m not looking back. If you want him, go ahead. You don’t have to report it to me.”
Alina stepped closer, heels clicking against the floor.
“Really?” she asked. “If you’re as certain as you say-if you’ve truly given Mr. Cavill no chance at all—then why would he risk his life to save you?”
Bethan raised an eyebrow. “If he wants to act pathetic, what am I supposed to do about it?”
The two women locked eyes, sparks practically flying between them.
Alina took a small step closer to Bethan, her voice lowering.

“Dr. Olsen, I told you-I’m not Megan. I have the family background and the resources to remove any woman who shows up around Hugh.”
Bethan felt a wave of disdain for Alina’s domineering
attitude.
She shot back, “If Ms. Potter is so confident, then why didn’t you get rid of me when Hugh married me?”
Alina smiled calmly. “Because I knew you and Hugh wouldn’t last.”
She paused for a moment, then added, “Whether it’s you or that Megan, you and Hugh are just too different. Breaking up was always just a matter of time.”
The two women stared at each other, tension thick in the
air.
After giving Bethan a polite, almost dismissive glance, Alina turned and walked away with purpose.
Joe stepped out of the consultation room, watching Alina leave. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Dr. Olsen, don’t you think that woman is a bit too arrogant?”

Bethan didn’t let Alina’s words affect her.
Like Alina herself had said, she wasn’t Megan.
Bethan came from a prestigious family and had spent years managing Potter Group alongside her father.
Now, she was competing with her own brother for control of the company—a woman with laser-focus career ambition.
Women like Alina, with power, status, and a solid career, cared about their reputation above all else.
Seeing Gwen approach from a distance, Bethan sent Joe
away.
Gwen pulled Bethan into a corner and whispered, “Bethy, did Alina say something to you just now?”
Bethan cleared her throat and corrected her. “I’m
divorced from your brother. I’m two years older than you, so from now on, you should call me Bethan.”
Gwen frowned. “It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just…

hard to get used to.”
Bethan smirked. “Next time you see me, think the word ‘divorced’ three times in your head before you speak.”
Gwen nodded but sighed in frustration.
“My grandpa and dad are just two stubborn old fools- overbearing, protective, and totally unreasonable. Don’t shut me out just because of them.”
Bethan gave her shoulder a light pat. “You’re you, and they’re them. I’ve got that straight.”

After chatting with Gwen for a while and parting ways, Bethan drove herself to Keating Mansion.
In the study on the second floor of Keating Mansion, James sat back casually in his wheelchair, wearing black dress pants and a white deep-V shirt, idly playing with a bracelet.
Bethan walked in, looking a little guilty.

“Mr. Keating, if I’d known you had everything under control, I wouldn’t have shown up and held you back. Next time, just give me a heads-up so I don’t accidentally mess things up.”
James looked up at her, raising an eyebrow. “With your head, even if I gave you a heads-up, would you really understand?”
Bethan, holding a large silver needle in her hand, shot him a look. “Mr. Keating, that’s a bit rude.”
James smirked. “Being a little slow isn’t always a bad thing. At least it means you’re loyal.”
Bethan had no response to that.
Noticing Bethan staring at the top of his head with the silver needle, James felt an involuntary chill run down his
spine.
Changing the subject quickly, James said, “How about a few rounds of bridge after the treatment?”
At the mention of bridge, Bethan immediately pulled out berphone, calling for reinforcements.
