Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 170

“Ok, it passed. Let’s talk about you. How are you going? Is everything good?” Julie could not help crying.

Alice looked at her speechlessly, thinking that Alice tended to cry constantly.

“Where’s Edward? I will give him a blow. It’s the second time that you got hurt. He promised to take care of you but he didn’t. I don’t trust him any longer.” Julie was rushing out, and Alice attempted to stop her.

However, she was so weak that she not only failed but also fell down.

‘Please don’t, Julie.’ Alice was sprawling on the ground, shouting in her mind. Although she tried her best to tell something, it’s in vain.

Julie felt heartbroken, asking carefully, “Are you OK? How’s your body?”

Alice noticed her calmness.

“It’s fine. I will recover from the wound after a couple of days. I have to say, you are too reckless. How could you blame Edward?” Alice wrote down what she wanted to express slowly, which succeeded in making Julie a bit peaceful.

“You are still a patient so don’t write so many words. When I speak, you just have to nod or give me some gestures. I believe that I can guess out your meanings, just like playing the game.”

Thinking of the game, Julie had a bad mood again, which was often played by her and Alice, one of whom figured out the signs and gestures given by the other one. Now, the reality copied the game.

What a terrible game!

They used to be satisfied but now was upset by it because at the end of the game, they always talked a lot with each other. But now, Alice could not say even a word.

It’s in the evening that Julie left and Alice stayed alone in the wind for a long time.

After leaving Alice, she went to meet John.

They three spent some good days with each other in the same hospital. But now both John and Alice became depressed and reticent due to the accidents, which made Julie feel sad.

John knew that Julie met Alice today and he kept waiting for Julie.

When she entered the room, she caught a glimpse of John’s anxiety. If he could say a word, he must ask Julie about Alice’s conditions urgently.

John then gave her a paper, which read,

“How’s Alice?”

Hearing this, Julie’s thought was echoed by John’s behavior. The paper given by him expressing his nervousness made her speechless.

Finding her stay silent, John was so anxious that he waved the paper, grasping her sleeve.

Julie felt sad and didn’t know what to do. John used to be an outstanding talent but now he was reduced to a mess and embarrassment. Besides, he gave up Alice for Alice’s happiness and told Edward what happened in the past.

But what had Edward done? The thought pained Julie.

Edward was unable to give Alice happiness for he not only failed to cherish Alice, but also hurt her. Perhaps, if Alice was John’s girlfriend, they might live a better life.

Julie shook her head at the thought.

John was so edgy that he wrote again on the paper, loathing his disability to speak.

“What’s wrong? Did Edward make her suffer more?”

“Yes. He doesn’t value her. You must know from the news that Alice is criticized in every place she appears. Besides, the two kids are influenced. They cannot go to school as usual. And Alice…” She paused deliberately.

John was more anxious.

“She is very ill. You know, she had a car accident and lost her baby before she recovered from the wounds. And now she could not speak…” Actually she intended to depict a miserable picture of Alice’s status to John, but she felt heartbroken while talking about her and nearly cried.

John felt extremely sorrow, abhorring Edward who stole Alice’s heart away but treated her bad.

He chose to tell him what happened in the past five years because Edward took a good care of her with tenderness as if they married just now, although he was indulged in sadness, in order to let him know Alice’s sufferings and be nicer to her.

But what did Edward do?

He not only left her alone at home when she needed help and care, but also failed to protect her from the rumors and criticism. What a coward!

‘Why did he take her away from me? She might have lived like a princess if she married me at that time.’ John thought.

But it’s too late to make that decision, although he regretted. Now, he knew that Alice didn’t lead a happy life.

John was warned by Edward that he was not allowed to be close to Alice, who was under a group of safeguards’ protection. Therefore, he had no chance to get in touch with her.

Julie didn’t disturb him who was pondering.

She knew in an early time that he loved Alice, who would try his best to help Alice out of pain and misery or asked her to leave together.

John didn’t even know when Julie left for he paid all the attention to self-reproach after informed of Alice’s bitterness. He kept regretting that he should leave with her instead of letting her go.

However, the opinion, leaving with her, was like a fire which burned the whole prairie in a short time and couldn’t be put out.

Why not?

Although they didn’t fall in love in those five years, they were familiar to each other in a foreign country as if they were family.

John stayed awake for a night. He decided that he must meet Alice in the flesh. If she wanted to leave with him, he would definitely take actions. And since then, they would not have to endure the pain.

Alice was supposed to stay in the hospital longer, but she was forced to return home by Edward who was worried that John meet Alice there for a second time. Besides, she was advised by the doctor that she should had a check in the hospital every three days because she was rather ill and weak due to the accident and the miscarriage.

On the next day, Alice went to the hospital for a check where she met John. He waited here for her in the early morning. The doctor who was responsible for him happened to work here so he had an excuse to get close to her.

Not all the safeguards knew who he was and they could not keep their eyes on all the people in the hospital.
