Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 74

"No, if there is any, I would ask for help already." Julie gives Alice a frustrated face. She wants to help Alice more than anyone.

"Julie, thank you."

Alice knows the answer deep down before she asks. Compares with the clinic, Alice is more nervous about her mother's condition. She can’t go see her who is being controlled by Joanna now. What can she do?

After Julie leaves, Alice starts checking her phone. There are many missed calls, all from one person, Edward.

Before, she tried to avoid him in every way. Now will she ask for help from him?

In this city, it seems that he is the only one that can help her against the Mayor…

But once she asks help from him, can she leave him again? Can he let her go anymore?

————

Against the dazzling sun, Alice looks at the golden characters of "SA International Company" in front of her. She can't help taking a deep breath.

After struggling for the whole day, she comes here.

She knows that she can call him, but she doesn’t know what to say in the phone, especially after what she says in the villa. Will he help her?

Alice doesn’t know the answer. After all, it was her who divorced him five years ago, and it is also her who asks for a clean break after five years.

It seems that in this case, the so-called ex-husband won't want to help, or maybe even wants to make it worse?

Alice rubs her hands to ease the tension in her heart. She does not go up. She is afraid that she may meet Joanna or the beautiful woman in the elevator.

She counts the time deliberately. After about an hour or so, Edward finally comes out.

She bites her lips and stands in front of him, "Have a second?"

Edward stops and looks at Alice with his black eyes, says, "No." Then he turns and walks towards his car.

Next second, a white, thin hand grabs the corner of his clothes. She says in a low voice, "You are the only one can help me..."

Before she comes, she guesses that there may be such a situation. Still it really makes her hurt when she sees him being so cold. Yes, she doesn’t want to watch her mom suffer. Only he can help her. So she comes and begs him.

He is right that she will come back to beg him.

"Do I have to say yes every time you ask for help?"

Alice's face turns pale. The she hears Edward continues, "Will you continue to avoid me and leave after I help you?"

Alice bites her lip, " No, I, I won't."

"No? Not for a while, or never?" Edward smiles with sarcasm.

"We are already divorced." Alice says slowly.

"Yes, we are divorced." Edward repeats her words, which makes Alice's cheeks blushed, as if she has been slapped.

She reminds him every time with such words, but now it is his turn…

"If, if you can help me, I won't run away from you again." Alice bites her lip and spits out these words.

His eyes get dim then he approaches her, says in a deep and sexy voice, “Is it all what I want? You know the answer. Now continue what left in the villa."

Alice's cheek turns red. It shows up in her mind what he did in the villa to her. Her ears get so red as if they are dripping blood.

She wants to leave him before, but it turns out to be like this.

She doesn’t know what to do.

"You don't want to?" he asks, like an arrogant lion, leaving her nowhere to escape.

She doesn’t know since when, there are a group of people surrounding them watching what happens, which makes Alice more flustered. She bites her lips. The lovely appearance makes Edward’s eyes get darker.

"Continue that kiss."

He says.

Alice gets stunned, staring at him blankly. They are on the street, watching by a group of people, and many of them even know him…

"Why, a kiss makes you so scared?"

Edward sneers and let go of her hand immediately. He walks towards the car and leaves Alice alone there being stunned.

Does she have to be with him to save mom?

Or maybe he just can’t reconcile. After all, the person who left first is her...

————

Seeing that the third trial is about to come, Joanna doesn’t get her response. Presumably she won’t make it easy to her, which leaves her no choice.

Alice’s face looks pale when she walks out from the lawyer's office.

Because the lawyer tells her that most of the evidence is not good for her. If they can prove that she intentionally poisons those male patients, she may be detained. The doctor's certificate will be revoked, and the clinic will be closed.

Other things are okay. But about detention, it makes Alice feel that Joanna is so cruel. Before she makes a call, John calls and tells her that the hospital transfers her mother away. No one knows where it is.

"Transfer to another hospital? Where are they taking her? No, they can't do this!" Alice bursts into tears. Because of her previous marriage, she leaves her mom for five years.

Now that her mother is sick, does mom have to endure all of these because of her?

Hearing that Alice cries, John says hurriedly, "I will stop them now, Alice. Don’t be sad, I will figure it out. I will."

"John...thank you."

Although John says that he will figure it out, Alice knows very well that in this city, they are just ordinary doctors. There is no way to fight against Joanna.

Except that…

Alice takes out her phone and calls out the familiar also unfamiliar number. When he picks up the phone, tears slips down from her eyes, "Please, help my mother. Don’t let them take her away, don't ..."

There is only silence from the phone. She doesn’t know if he is listening or unwilling to help her because what she did before.

"As long as you are willing to save her, I will do whatever you ask for!" Alice is so desperate that he is her life-saving straw. She just wants to save her mother, whatever it costs.

"Alice, remember what you said."

"I know." Alice bites her lips and agrees.

"Come to the villa."

The man just says one sentence and then hangs up the phone.

After Alice puts away her phone, immediately she stops a taxi to the villa. As long as her mom is safe, everything is worth it.

————

When the taxi arrives at the villa, she takes a deep breath, looking at the lights in the villa. She gathers up all her courage to come to the gate and presses the doorbell.

Before today, she wants to leave this house desperately. Now she comes here herself.
