Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1213

She had never been content to just stay in her lane.

Everyone simply tolerated it out of respect for Felix, never calling her out on it.

As long as her little schemes didn't cause a scene, they all just turned a blind eye.

But right now, Felix's mind was entirely consumed by Claire. He couldn't spare a single thought for Madeline.

He was desperately trying to figure out his next move.

To divorce or not to divorce—both felt like impossible hurdles.

She had said their pacing was different now.

One wanted to keep moving forward, while the other wanted to stop and rest.

If they really had to part ways at this intersection...

Couldn't he just run ahead and wait for her at the next corner?

If she wanted a fresh start.

Then they would have a completely clean slate!

At that thought, the hope in Felix's eyes reignited.

Outside the hospital room.

Madeline gripped the shopping bag in her hands so tightly her knuckles cracked, her expression twisted in fury.

She had never expected to overhear a conversation like that.

And she absolutely could not believe that Felix had actually fallen for Claire!

It was unacceptable!

Why?

Why did Claire get to have everything?

Claire had always been beneath her since they were kids. She was supposed to stay beneath her for the rest of her life!

He wanted to send her abroad?

Over her dead body!

...

Four days later, Claire received a call from Felix.

He was being discharged today.

"I'll come meet you at the hospital," Claire offered immediately.

"No need. I have to swing by The Gables to grab my documents anyway. Let's just meet there."

The Gables was the home they had shared.

Claire paused for a moment before replying, "Alright."
