He Loved My Sister. I’m Better Off Without Him novel Chapter 5

Third Person POV

Winona's spirits remained low, so Christopher took her abroad to lift her mood.

In the days that followed, he indulged her to the extreme. As long as Winona showed a liking to something, even if it was a necklace worth over a hundred million dollars, Christopher would buy it without a second thought.

When she mentioned her love for watching sunsets, he spent a fortune to buy an ancient castle, solely because its terrace boasted the most breathtaking sunset views in all of Alvoria.

To further delight her, he even commissioned a grand drone show.

Against the canvas of the night sky, the drones moved in perfect formation, spelling out Winona's name in glowing lights.

Her eyes sparkled, and a smile finally graced her features.

On their way back, however, an accident occurred.

The brakes of a small truck had failed, causing the truck to hurtle straight at them. Almost instinctively, Christopher turned the steering wheel, taking the impact on his side.

As a result, Winona was completely unharmed, while Christopher was hospitalized with a broken arm.

"Chris, how could you be so foolish?" Winona asked as tears streamed down her face.

Chris caressed her cheek tenderly and said, "All that matters is that you're safe now."

Just then, Winona's phone rang.

After Winona answered the call, she looked apologetic and told him that she had rehearsals back home and couldn't stay to care for him.

"Take good care of yourself when I'm gone, Chris. I'll call you often."

Though her words were full of reluctance, her steps toward the door were resolute.

As Christopher lay on the bed and watched her retreating figure, a memory from a month ago surfaced unexpectedly. He'd been in another car accident then, though only minorly injured, and he'd only suffered a few scratches.

However, Juliette had reacted as if he'd broken a leg. She insisted he stay in the hospital and brought him homemade soup every day, rain or shine.

Christopher had found it exasperating. "The staff can handle this. Why trouble yourself?"
