Chapter 375 Darren and the Ghost of His Ex

When Darren returned, he heard Sharon was already married. Strangely, he felt at peace with it. He didn’t. hate her. In fact, part of him still felt guilty.

He hadn’t been there for her. If she found someone else, that made sense.

“Darren,” Sharon said with a bittersweet smile. “I’ve tried to reach you over the years, never worked.”

Her voice was bitter, like she was holding back tears beneath her smile.

Darren gave a small nod. “Yeah, that number’s been dead a long time.”

but your

old number

The truth was, if Sharon had really wanted to find him, she could’ve come to the hospital. But instead, she’d kept calling the number he’d used before vanishing.

“So, what brings you to the hospital? Not feeling well? Your husband didn’t come with you?” Darren asked, steering the conversation away. The air between them felt awkward.-

“I’m getting a divorce,” Sharon said quietly.

Darren was stunned, caught off guard. “Why? Did he not treat you right?”

His fingers curled slightly.

He could accept that she had married someone else. What he couldn’t accept was whom she married.

Sharon had married Darren’s college roommate. His best friend.

After university, Darren had started his residency at Seaville Hospital, while Rolf went home to take over his family’s pharmaceutical business.

Rolf came from money, had the looks, and had the charm–girls loved him. He was Darren’s buddy.

Darren never thought Rolf, of all people, would sleep with his girlfriend while he was away.

The day Darren got rescued and returned from overseas, the first thing he did was go see Sharon. But Rolf laughed in his face. Rolf had said. “You’re the only fool still thinking about that woman after five

years. That slut was already in my bed before you even left!”

Darren punched him. Rolf didn’t hit back. Instead, he hugged Darren and cried.

“I’m just glad you made it home, man. This is great.”

He’d meant it. Rolf had truly cared about Darren, and yet he’d still betrayed him.

“Darren … Rolf’s not like you,” Sharon said softly. “He wasn’t faithful.”

The meaning in her words was clear: Rolf was fickle. Darren wasn’t.

She’d come a long way–from a small–town girl to someone who wore Chanel, carried Hermès, and lived a high life. Rolf had given her wealth

But wealth hadn’t filled the emptiness.

Chapter 375 Darren and the Ghost of His Ex

The moment she caught Rolf cheating, she filed for divorce, took her share, and came back to find the one man who had loved her all along.

She was confident about Darren, certain that he hadn’t moved on. Certainly he still loves her.

“So, you’re not here for a checkup,” Darren said. “You came to find me.”

Behind him, Felix shifted anxiously.

He didn’t like this. He thought Darren deserved someone better–someone who wouldn’t walk away from him.

If Sharon could betray him once, she could do it twice.

“Yes,” Sharon nodded. “Can we talk, Darren?”

Three years ago, when Darren returned, Sharon had wanted to speak to him. But after he and Rolf got into that fight, she got scared and backed off.

She tried again later, but Rolf had crushed her with words, claimed she didn’t deserve him, and made her feel worthless, so she stayed away.

Now, she wanted a fresh start–with Darren.

“Sorry, we have to go,” Felix cut in, grabbing Darren’s arm tightly. “He’s busy. No time to talk.”

Felix was trembling. His PTSD and depression made him terrified of strangers, regardless of their gender, but he still stepped up to protect Darren.

Darren had been his light in the darkest times.

From their first meeting in the ER to every moment since, Darren had saved him more than once.

Darren glanced at Felix, saw the way his body shook, and worried about his condition. He made a decision and said, “Sorry. Felix isn’t feeling well. We need to head home. Maybe another time.”

Sharon was unwilling to let go. “Can I get your number at least?”

Darren hesitated.

“No,” Felix said firmly, eyes red as he pulled Darren away.
