Chapter 286:
At that moment, the man on the stretcher, his eyes still shut, murmured, “I don’t want you to die...”
His words hung heavily in the air, silencing everything around them.
Belinda closed her eyes and sighed deeply, staying silent. Such a shame. Kristopher’s wish was unlikely to be
fulfilled. She had just a little over two months left... She knew she would die in just over two months.
“Mr. Cox owns a villa in the city center, known only to a select few of his close assistants...” Marc's words
snapped Belinda out of her thoughts.
“Mrs. Cox, you and sir should stay there for now. | will arrange for a doctor to cand assess his condition. The
car involved in the crash was registered to Mr. Cox's company, and | was the one who notified the police. | need
to remain here to assist with the investigation.”
Belinda pursed her lips, giving a silent nod of agreement. “Okay.” The motorhthen quickly left the scene.

“Cathy...” Kristopher on the stretcher murmured the nunclearly. In that moment, Belinda felt as if she were
suddenly encased in ice, unable to move.
“Cathy...” Kristopher tightened his hold on her hand, his voice tinged with confusion and gratitude. “Thank you...
For savingon the beach.”
Belinda’s fingers were painfully squeezed by his grip, but it was her heart that felt the deepest ache.
It becclear... He was calling out Cathy's name. He believed it was Cathy who had saved him on the beach.
He had mistaken Belinda for Cathy.
With her lips pressed firmly together, her heart felt as though it was being squeezed by an unseen force.
Kristopher had confused her for someone else.

When had he mistaken her for someone else? Was it after he lost consciousness on the beach, or had he
mistaken her identity immediately after the accident?
He had protected her with his body, seemingly oblivious to his own injuries...
Was it because... He mistook her for Cathy?
Kristopher murmured “Cathy...” repeatedly as they traveled from the accident scene to Riviera Villas. He
continually thanked her for rescuing him at the beach, though he was actually clutching Belinda’s hand the
entire time.
At first, Belinda tried to pull away. However, the significant difference in strength between them, compounded by
Kristopher’s semi-conscious state, made it impossible for her to escape his grasp. Eventually, she stopped
resisting.
By the tthey reached Riviera Villas, a doctor was already waiting at the entrance. Belinda recognized him
immediately. It was Kayden Riley, one of the physicians who had cared for Kristopher during his vegetative state.
After Kristopher had awakened two and a half years earlier, he had dismissed the extensive medical team,
keeping only two personal doctors for the Cox family. Since Renee had been taking care of Anthony at his
residence, Kayden had to be the other doctor.
“What happened?” Kayden asked the moment he stepped into the motorhome, medical kit in hand.
With a frown, Belinda began to explain the details of the accident. When Kayden heard her mention that
Kristopher had shielded her during the mishap, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. “Aren’t you two divorced?”
