Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 66

Alice thinks that her kids are so smart that she isn’t afraid that they can be bullied by other children. But on the opposite, she is worried that they will bully others. She can’t let them develop a bad habit of bullying others.

“No, mom. We are well-behaved at school today. And teacher praises Albert again!”

Rebecca shakes her head immediately and explains. She won’t tell Alice what happened at school today. That’s the secret between her and Albert.

“Why do you have time and pick us up, Mom? Are there fewer patients in the clinic today?” Rebecca is asking Alice confusedly while she is eating.

“Yes, there aren’t many patients today, so I can close the clinic early and pick your two up. I am thinking that I haven’t accompanied you guys well after I came back. So I decide that I will pick you guys up and go home together every day. So you two don’t need to come to the clinic.”

Alice doesn’t find anything is wrong and all she wants to do is to make up for her son and daughter.

“OK” Albert replies and goes on dining.

He does see the bitterness from his mom’s eyes but he has no idea what has happened to her and she doesn’t tell them about that.

Albert is sure that there must be some trouble in the clinic.

Alice and Rebecca are chitchatting and they all enjoy their meal.

After dinner, Albert and Rebecca hide in their room. There are lots of dolls and plush toys in the bedroom, though they are not anything valuable, they are placed neatly in good order. It seems a bit weird.

“Albert, what’s wrong with mom? Tell me.”

As soon as they go back to their room, Rebecca rushes to Albert and asks him anxiously when she sees Alice doesn’t stand outside the door.

“No clue…”

Albert shakes his head, “Mom’s clinic receives a lot of people every day, but today there are few. Besides, mom says that she will pick us up every day. Does she lose her job?”

“So, Albert, you are saying that there is a problem with mom’s clinic. Right?” Her eyes widen in disbelief and indignation.

She thinks that there must be some bad guys who again bully her mom. Her mom has never got fired by a hospital. But now, those bad guys still don’t leave mom alone.

Albert nods but he doesn’t say anything. Alice gets used to hiding from them and they have to figure it out by themselves.

“What should we do? The clinic is so important to mom!” Rebecca is so worried and she keeps walking back and forth anxiously.

“If there is a problem, let’s ask dad for help!” Albert blurts out.

“Why? Will he help mom? How do you know that it isn’t dad who gets mom into trouble?”

Rebecca isn’t sure whether her dad will come and help her mom since her mom doesn’t care about him at all.

“If he doesn’t know, we will go find and tell him. He picks us up every day. If he doesn’t help mom, we won’t see him as our dad!” Albert says with a hum.

The next day, after Alice sends Rebecca and Albert to school and gets back home, she receives a summons from the court.

Normally, it has to take a few days before engaging in a lawsuit since people will have to spend time looking for a lawyer and then having a discussion. After that, they will have to go to court and file an application. However, it just takes a day that Alice is accused.

Alice isn’t a fool and she knows exactly what is happening. How can those men make it so fast if there is no one to help them?

Generally speaking, people will just ask for compensation or continue their treatment; however, they are so furious and insist on suing her.

If Alice does compensate them, the amount of money isn’t enough for them to hire a good lawyer.

Thinking of that, Alice is surer that it is Joanna and Janet’s scheme. They are so determined to drive her away without giving her any chance.

In the court, Alice sees those three men again. It seems that they haven’t had any meal for days and they look exhausted which is easy to cause misunderstanding that it is Alice who makes them suffer.

“Alice Roberts, you are accused of deceiving money, selling drugs at random and causing the plaintiff's physical damage and partial disability. Is that true?” A judge in suit asks Alice seriously while he is knocking table with the wooden hammer.

“No.” Alice replies and looks into the judge’s eyes, “I am wrongly accused. It has never happened in my clinic. The plaintiffs came to my clinic one after another. But why don’t other patients suffer as they do?”

The judge then asks the plaintiffs, “Do you have any evidence?”

“Of course, we have!”

One of the men answers confidently and the lawyer they hire gets what he means then takes out a file from his briefcase. On the paper, there are a few bold words, “Hospital examination report”.

The lawyer comes forward and hands in the file to the judge and explains, “This is a report from a hospital. It is written that the drugs Alice Roberts prescribed aren’t in accordance with plaintiffs’ sickness. Therefore, the plaintiffs’ health is stimulated by drugs and now they are suffering.”

“Alice Roberts, do you admit that?” The judge has a look at the file carefully and asks her in a serious voice.

Alice is shocked and she is sure that the drugs she prescribed that day are based on their conditions. But why the reports say something is wrong?

She calms down and ponders over the report. Janet is one of the major shareholders in hospital, so of course she can fake any reports.

Janet does make efforts in order to win the case.

“I’ve told you it isn’t true!” Alice shakes her head and she will never admit that. Then she tells the judge what has happened that day and describes their condition and the drugs she prescribed. She remembers it so clearly.

“You are lying!” One of the men refutes soon after he hears what Alice says.

“When I came to your clinic and I’ve told you about my symptoms. But you insisted on prescribing me some other drugs! When I came back home and took the medicine, I found something wrong with body!”

“Silent!”

The judge notices that the plaintiff is a little agitated then he knocks with the wooden hammer. Soon, the court is quiet solemn again.
