Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 600

She turned to Judd, pocketing her phone with a smile. "What could I possibly have on my mind? I just asked someone for a small favor."

"The results for the latest new drug trial are in," Judd said, looking at her. "They're very promising. We can proceed to the Phase III clinical trial." He added, "It's all thanks to the cerebrospinal fluid you provided. Although we haven't found a solution for your mother's condition yet…"

Charlotte shook her head, smiling. "It's okay. We'll find a way eventually. At least we've made a breakthrough. Things might get even better in the future."

Judd smiled back. "You're right. They will."

From behind the door, Lilith watched the two of them standing side-by-side on the balcony, deep in conversation. She had been about to go over and say hello, but… she suddenly felt that if she interrupted, she'd be an unwelcome third wheel. She pouted and turned to leave.

Rushing away, she didn't notice the cleaner mopping the floor ahead. She collided with the water bucket, sending it flying, and slipped and fell to the ground.

"Oh my goodness, young lady, are you alright?" the cleaner exclaimed, dropping her mop and hurrying to help Lilith up.

"I'm fine." Lilith pushed her hand away. She wanted to lash out, but the anger wouldn't come. Her expensive, two-thousand-dollar designer dress was ruined by a bucket of dirty water. In the past, she would have unleashed a torrent of abuse, but now, she couldn't find an outlet for her frustration.

"Lilith?" Charlotte and Judd, drawn by the noise, came inside. Seeing Lilith's soaked dress and the overturned bucket, they understood what had happened.

As Charlotte approached, the cleaner stammered, "I was just mopping here, and this young lady just ran right into me, I… I…"

"I said I'm fine! I don't need you to pay for it," Lilith snapped, feeling utterly humiliated. She didn't want anyone to see her like this and hurried away.
