The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 251

Riley logged into her account, first deleting her previous hospital's information and updating it to her new workplace before beginning her consultations.

About half an hour in, she encountered the mistress patient again.

Riley immediately felt a lingering sense of being haunted.

"Doctor, he divorced his wife."

Seeing that message, Riley froze for a second.

She hadn't expected the wife to actually follow through with a divorce.

Last time, the patient mentioned that her childhood sweetheart's wife had found out about her existence. It seemed this wife, just like Riley, ultimately chose to walk away.

This woman had it even worse than Riley. Not only did her husband cheat, but he also had a secret child on the outside. Divorcing him was absolutely the right call.

In truth, divorce wasn't about stepping aside for the cheating scumbag and the mistress; it was about setting yourself free.

Riley typed on her keyboard: "Did he marry you after the divorce?"

"No. His wife keeps hovering around, refusing to leave him alone. Don't you think she's incredibly pathetic?"

Riley highly doubted that a wife who had actively chosen divorce would turn around and harass the cheating husband. If the wife truly couldn't let go, she wouldn't have agreed to the divorce in the first place.

However, every situation was different. Perhaps the cheater insisted on the divorce, and the wife, unable to fight it, was forced into it. Maybe out of sheer bitterness and a desire for revenge, she was now harassing him. It was a possibility.

But for the mistress to call the ex-wife pathetic? That was completely out of line.

You're the home-wrecker who seduced someone else's husband and destroyed a family. What right do you have to call the wife pathetic?

Riley shook her head, pulling herself out of her own problems, and sent a message: "Your emotional state is highly unstable right now. I strongly recommend you seek in-person psychiatric help. If you keep dragging this out, your condition is going to severely worsen."

A few seconds after she sent the message, the patient logged off.

Every time they broached this topic, the patient would disconnect. Riley didn't know if the woman genuinely had something else to do, or if she simply refused to face treatment.

Riley didn't have time to dwell on it, as her next patient was waiting.

After a busy morning and lunch in the cafeteria, Riley rested for a bit in the clinical department. She had arranged to meet Winona at 2:00 PM, and Winona had offered to pick her up from the hospital.

Winona arrived precisely on time. On the way to the rehab center, she gave Riley a rough overview of Madeline's condition.

Madeline resided in an exclusive, high-end private rehab center. The environment was pristine, the facilities state-of-the-art, and it offered comprehensive, full-cycle medical and nursing care, meticulous daily living assistance, specialized rehabilitation training, and personalized nutritional plans.
