Can you not go?

Chapter - 194

"How did it happen?" Alex suddenly asked after the nurse left.

"..." Instead of answering Alex, Karen played with her fingers as she tried not to look at Alex.

"Was it really an accident?" Alex asked again, "Are you sure nobody had any part in it? Your husband?"

"Can we not talk about him," Karen straightened her back and looked at Alex at the mention of her husband.

"..." Alex did not reply. He continued to stare at Karen in silence which was stifling for Karen.

"I mean... You know how things are between us. It is awkward to keep talking about him with you," Karen cleared her throat and tried to explain.

"Sure..." After looking at Karen for some time, Alex agreed, "I have called Jessica. She should be here soon."

"Why did you call her? She must already be busy managing the party. I am alright. Look..." Karen flung her arms around and tried to show that she was okay.
