Oh Please, My Ex-wife novel Chapter 159

“Well, I’m afraid that you have to come with me.” While saying this, Janet took out a shiny jade bracelet from her purse.

Alice gasped.

Watching Janet storming in the mansion, the butler can’t really do anything.

He hoped that Alice can tell him that she didn’t want to go with her, so that he can evade Janet naturally. But Alice was silent.

Seeing the jade bracelet, Alice was dumbfounded.

The bracelet was transparent and glowed with cold light. Legend has it that every jade bracelet is unique.

Alice didn’t know if the legend was true, but she’s only seen her mother Susie wearing this before.

Alice’s father gave the bracelet to Susie as a token of love.

Susie poured her heart to this bracelet when Alice’s father passed away, so she will never let it leave her side.

But now it’s in Janet’s hands.

Alice was terrified to think about or even verify why the bracelet was in Janet’s hands.

This is life, whenever you feel like there is hope ahead, much bigger disappointment will crush you right away.

The butler didn’t stop Alice at the end.

Afraid to hurt Alice, the butler didn’t confront Janet but called Edward right away when they left.

Though Allen was carrying Edward’s phone, knowing how important Alice was to Edward, he informed him the situation immediately.

Hearing what Allen said, Edward immediately grabbed his coat and left the company.

He always knew that Janet was holding grudges against Alice, but now Alice was pregnant, what if his mother did something terrible to her? Edward can’t even think about what might happen.

After arriving at the Obstetrics & Gynecology Department in the hospital, Alice started getting medical examination right away without even waiting in the line.

The medical examination for abortion didn’t take much time, so Alice left the examination room pretty quickly. Seeing the fetus’ ultrasound image, Alice suddenly remembered what Edward said this morning when he left.

“Alice, remember to bring me the ultrasound image of the baby, we can record his growth bit by bit.”

Alice can’t shake off this sentence from her head. He expected this baby for such a long time, but now he can’t even have the chance to see him.

Raising her head, Alice noticed that Janet was urging the doctor.

Janet seemed anxious, because she won’t have much chance to take Alice out again. Edward might rush over and call off the whole thing.

Seeing that Janet wasn’t watching her, Alice suddenly stood up and was about to leave the hospital.

Janet didn’t anticipate that Alice would have the guts to run away, so she barely caught up with Alice till she was at the end of the hall.

Alice didn’t run far since she was pregnant with the baby.

Clutching Alice’s hands, Janet shoved the Informed Consent Form into her hands.

“Are you going to run away?” A man suddenly appeared around the corner of hallway when Janet just finished up the sentence. It was Edward.

“Didn’t you want to abort the baby? Well, you’re the next.” Janet said to Alice hastily.

Edward was struck dumb when he heard what Janet said.

“Alice...”

Alice knew what Janet was insinuating right away.

She wasn’t even sure whether she wanted to keep the baby herself. The thought that the baby will not be loved when he was born haunted her every day.

Sometimes she wanted to keep the baby, but she hasn’t tackled all the predicament in her life. Even the baby’s grandmother wanted to let her abort him.

She was willing to forgive Edward’s mistrust towards her since she did the same thing to him, but were they going to be happy afterwards?

Nobody was certain that she and Edward’s family would live happily ever after. The life might get tougher than that of five years ago.

She can’t gamble on the uncertainty. It was she and the kids’ lifetime of happiness on the line after all.

What’s more, Janet was holding Susie hostage!

Noticing that Alice said nothing this whole time, Edward’s face gradually darkened

“Don’t you have any explanation?” Edward asked the same question with the same expression.

Alice was suddenly disconcerted. When Edward asked this same question last time, he wanted her to clarify the misunderstanding five years ago and a commitment to the future.

But this time, he was beyond furious.

He thought that they’ve settled the all the disputes and he was fighting for their future. This woman standing right in front of him even said all the sweet words to him this morning.

Alice, you are so cruel!

No wonder that she insisted on not letting him accompany her to have prenatal examination today. She was actually plotting to abort the baby!

The corner of Edward’s eyes was welling up with tears, but he forced it back.

A man’s tear is like a sharp knife to a woman that loves him equally which can break through mists, but to a woman that doesn’t love him, the tear represents cowardice.

Edward casted Alice a deep glance. He always chased after the result, so that he would let Alice explain what happened five years ago herself.

But now, he didn’t have the guts to listen to Alice’s explanation.
