Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 68

Alice is burning with anxiety when she sees the seals on her clinic. She has no idea what she should do since she knows that she might lose the case and those men won’t let go of her.

John is also busy with the case. He is trying to figure out a way to help Alice when he sees her become paler and paler because of the case. Someone tells him the address of the leader of those men.

John hopes that he can deal with the problem with money, so he buys something and is about to apologize to the leader without letting Alice know.

When Alice goes back home from the court, she is shocked when she sees John who has got some bruises on his face. She rushes to him and asks, “John, what happened to you?”

John shakes his head and blames on himself, “I can’t help you at all.”

“John, thank you. But I will take care of it.” Alice doesn’t want to get him into troubles. He has helped her a lot these years.

John is hesitating and finally looks at Alice and suggests, “I know you have put your heart and soul into the clinic. But we don’t know many people here. How about we…”

He isn’t willing to mention Edward, but he has no choices. He has tried to talk with those men and handle the problems with money, but he is beaten by them. So, he knows that they are tough guys. What’s worse, Alice and he just moved here, so it seems like Edward is the only one who can help her.

That makes him so annoyed.

“John, no matter what happens, I don’t want to have any contact with him.” Alice answers slightly with steady eyes.

John is a bit shocked and he feels that Alice is so determined. Does she just move on?

But recently, he saw the press conference where Edward mentioned a name of a lady, though he didn’t make it clearly, but it was Alice for sure.

“Alice, have you thought about…”

“No.” Alice cuts in and gazes at him with her clean and unreadable eyes, “but what happened to your face?”

“Well. It’s fine. I just bumped into something.” John is a bit nervous and he turns around and doesn’t want her to see his face clearly.

He is so anxious when he can’t offer her any helps. He rushes to her apartment when he knows that the second trial end but Alice doesn’t answer the phone.

Seeing that Alice just looks a bit tried but she is fine, he can’t help sighing in relief. When he is about to leave, he sees a Benz driving towards them.

The car stops by Alice and John can’t help to have a look at it and he frowns when he sees a man in suit getting out of the car.

The man smiles at Alice and says, “Dr. Robert.”

Alice is in a great shock when she sees that it is Randall.

How does he know where Alice lives?

But soon she thinks she is a bit stupid because it is so easy for people from upper class to investigate a man.

What makes her more curious is that why he comes here.

“Mr. Collins, Haven’t seen you for a long time.”

“I just pass by but I don’t expect that I will come across you here. Shall we have a lunch together?” it seems that Randall doesn’t notice John is around and he asks Alice for a meal.

“I’m sorry; I have something else to do…”

“I heard that Dr. Roberts opens a clinic recently.” Randall smiles and says. Alice soon stops her intention to turn him down and looks at him in confusion.

“I believe that Dr. Roberts won’t prescribe medicine randomly and disregards of patients. So, I am here to see whether I can help.”

Help?

Alice is greatly surprised and she frowns. John asks before Alice says anything. “Mr. Collins, do you have any idea?”

“Of course, I do. But I am not sure whether Dr. Roberts would like to have a meal with me since we should talk about the details, right?” Randall doesn’t look at John at all but gazes at Alice confidently. It seems that Alice will definitely say yes.

However…

Unexpectedly, though Alice doesn’t believe that Randall falls in love with her at first sight, she does have thought about having a meal with him since she needs help.

When she is about to say yes, her phone rings.

Her phone rings all of a sudden so that they all go blank for a second. Alice doesn’t answer the phone but tells Randall calmly, “Thanks, Mr. Collins. But I hope that I can handle it by myself.”

Randall is shocked and confused. He feels that she is going to say yes but she changes her mind as soon as she gets a phone call.

Who is that?

He is guessing, so is John. But they are sure that the phone call is so important to Alice.

“If you need any help, feel free to contact me.” Though Alice turns him down, he still acts like a gentleman. Then he smiles at her and walks over to his car.

At the moment he turns around, he is a bit disappointed and he thinks that Alice still feels nothing to him.

That’s interesting.

After Randall leaves, John eyes on Alice and he feels like asking her something. But when he sees that she is a bit tried, he clenches his fist and says in a low voice, “Take a break. The lawyer we have been looking for just finished his case, so he can help us at the third trial. Everything is going to be fine.”

Alice can do nothing but nods her head when John is comforting her. In three days, it will be the final trial. She isn’t as confident as she used to be.

She might think about leaving here, but how about her mom Susie?

Will Janet and Johanna let go of her?

When Alice is worried about that, Johanna contacts her and asks her to meet at a coffee shop.

Alice arrives at the café first and she chooses a seat near the window.

She hasn’t had a break for days, so she looks pretty pale and tired. With white-skinned face, she looks like a distressed beauty on a poster and she has attracted some men who pass by her.

“Thank you.”

She gets the Mocha Coffee and takes a sip. Her eyebrows furrow when she thinks of what has happened to her these days.
