Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 73

They stand together, looking so fine. It’s the combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

Perhaps it is because Alice’s staring is too much that makes the beautiful woman look back to her suspiciously.

But Edward comes out of the elevator and passes her directly.

As if not seeing her.

If he ignores her when she just comes back, she might feel happy.

But now, she feels inexplicably uncomfortable, as if she is losing something from her heart. The beautiful woman follows Edward's footsteps. The elevator door is about to close for no one enters.

Alice still stands there until the elevator closes completely. She says, "Wait a minute."

Edward stops and turns. He looks at her with cold emotionless eyes. It makes her heart twitching and painful.

"Who are you to keep me waiting?" Edward asks. It makes Alice suddenly remembers her refuse to him in the villa last night.

She said that she will never contact him again, but now she is about to ask him...

Alice bites her lips, as her mood is very tangled.

Edward doesn’t hear her answer, so he turns and walks away without hesitate.

The beautiful woman next him glances at Alice. There is a gleam of light flashing away in her eyes. Then she follows Edward away.

Alice is left standing alone at the elevator entrance, staring at the floor blankly. Just now, she suddenly wants to ask Edward to help her. Yes, she actually wants to ask him to rescue her mother from Joanna’s control…

In the hospital’s conference room,

Edward is checking the diagnosis book from Leron Zhao. He frowns with a very focused and serious face, which is so hard to not catch people’s eyes. No wonder that some people say that men at work are extremely attractive.

Leron looks stunned and can't help but think of their past. When she met him the first time, she knew that there is someone is his heart. He barely slimes or opens his heart to others.

She is his attending doctor and also his special psychological mentor, so she can hear some of his thoughts occasionally. However about what happened five years ago, he has never mentioned it. She has heard something from others, but it is not clear.

What kind of woman would write a divorce agreement and betray him with another man?

This is where Leron can't figure out.

He is such an excellent handsome man. She believed that as long as he wants to, any woman will be attracted by him and will never leave him.

"It is hard to cure the patient over-night since she gets to this condition over the years. It takes time. It needs to be done step by step, but there is no major problems." Leron says to Edward seeing him almost finishing checking the diagnosis book.

"Arrange her to be transferred to your hospital." Edward closes the diagnosis book and says.

"To transfer, I guess..." Leron gets a little worried.

"I will fix it."

"Ok."

Leron gets up. She picks up the phone and starts arranging.

After the arrangement is done, Leron leans on the desk and looks at Edward, "The woman we met in the elevator seems to know you?"

"It's just a stranger." Edward lowers his eyes, making it hard to see what he is thinking.

"If it's really a stranger, you won't stop when she calls." Leron looks at Edward and guesses, "Is she the patient's family member?"

Edward frowns, "How do you know?"

"It’s just a guess. We have known each other for a few years. Although you don't share anything, I still hear something about you over the years." Leron explains.

Edward closes his eyes, "Yes."

His answer is so simple, but Leron gets stunned for a moment. Suddenly there is a feeling of indescribable sour and unwilling.

For her, he confesses his love at the press conference. For her, he clearly confronts the Mayor by transferring the patient to the other hospital.

"It's been five years, you still can't let go of her?" what is worthy for longing? She is just a woman who betrays him. Why can’t let go of her from his heart?

"Even after another five years, she is still the only one that I will do everything for." Edward responds lightly.

Just one sentence is enough to make Leron understand the woman's position in Edward's heart.

"Then if something happens to me someday, will you help me like this?" Leron can't help asking.

"No." Edward says without emotion.

Knowing that this man has always been cruel and ruthless, Leron's heart still gets hurt when she hears it. Yeah, in this world, only he can be so ruthless like this.

"Is it because we know each other for a short time?" Leron asks.

"The length of time has nothing to do with feelings."

Leron bites her lip. Her eyes show how much painful she is feeling now. Does he mean that he only has feelings to that woman?

After Edward returns to SA International Company, Allen hands the investigate documents to him, "President, this is all the information about the clinic case."

Edward takes it and starts checking. Allen leaves the office without Edward saying anything .

When the door is about to close, Edward says tonelessly, "Don't mention this to anyone."

"Yes, President." Allen answers, closing the door.

Edward looks at the information about the clinic case on the table. All the information are clear about the male patients, their true identities, the drugs they used, and everything about the witnesses, all in very detailed.

"Alice, when will you come back to me? How long do I have to wait..."

He has been waiting for five years. He has enough patience to wait.

After returning from the hospital, Alice doesn’t show any anxious feelings in front of the two kids. She asks them about their kindergarten as usual, hoping that the two kids will never get disturbed by external affairs.

It's just that after she finishes coaxing the children, she stays up all night. The whole night, she can't help but thinking about that beautiful woman. Who is she?

Walking with Edward, she looks perfect being with him. The feeling they give others when they are together is absolutely out of Joanna’s reach.

Is she his new girlfriend?

The next day, after sending two kids to the school, Julie comes to see her specially, “Alice, don’t worry. We can open a new clinic if this one doesn’t work out. I have saved some money. It’s gonna be ok!"

Hearing that, Alice feels so warm in her heart. She is so lucky to get such good friend like Julie.

"Julie, do you know anyone from the government?" Alice asks abruptly. She can't just watch her mother being controlled by Joanna.

If she wants to stay, she has to find someone as powerful as them to fight back.
