My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Anya was discharged from the hospital after five days. And Phil was transferred to a general ward again. Anya had planned to see him but then had second thoughts, for fear that her coming might excite him. Therefore, she decided to visit him after he got better.

Although Anya went home to convalesce, she was worried about Phil and her daughter in the hospital.

Her daughter had to stay in the incubator and Phil was still in the hospital. Even though she had been home, she would miss them.

Fortunately, there were Emelia and other ladies accompanying her, so she wasn’t overwhelmed by negative emotions.

But what moved Anya most was their kindness. Since Phil and Anya had decided to give birth in Chiobar, they didn’t hire any nanny. If it were not for Emelia and others who came here, she would have had no idea of how to face the difficulties.

Now, Emelia, Maisie, and Nina took good care of her by all means. While Emelia and Maisie cooked various kinds of food for her, Nina amused Anya because she was so funny and adorable that everything retold by her would make them burst into laughter.

About a week later, Anya thought that she wound almost recovered, and she didn’t feel so painful while walking. Thus, she proposed to visit Phil.

Actually, she wanted to visit him a few days ago, but Emelia and the other ladies persuaded her to wait, allowing her and Phil to get better. Then she had waited until now.

But Julian and Ezra told her about Phil’s condition every day. He made an acceptable recovery.

Arthur returned to Chiobar after Phil had been out of danger. After all, Jean had just given birth two months ago, and she needed helping and care.

When Emelia phoned Julian who was in the hospital that Anya wanted to see Phil, he just sighed, “Phil says… he doesn’t want to see her.”

“Why?” Emelia felt astonished and angry.

“He thinks that it is he who gets Anya and his daughter into such big trouble. He cannot face Anya as well as his affection for her.” Julian explained it to Emelia.

Emelia clenched her teeth and said, “So he chooses to escape? Can he escape from it for his whole life? Does he intend to never be with Anya and his daughter?”

Julian paused for a while and sighed, “Give him a little more time.”

Actually, Julian conveyed this in a more euphemistic way. Phil told him that he felt sorry for Anya and his daughter, and he wished Anya could forget him and live a good life with Chris.

He would open a bank account for them from which they could get enough money for their whole life. In that way, Anya didn’t have to be afraid of being repelled by others in the future.

Or he could simply make a will and notarize that his possession belonged to them. He would spend his whole life earning money for them.

As for himself, he was about to return to Chiobar and never met Anya and Chris.

He was too ashamed to see them.

He loved them so much, and thus he couldn’t forgive himself for hurting them with his so-called love. Phil just thought himself a joke now.

He always said he loved Anya and his daughter very much, but he almost got them killed.

He thought himself a loser.

However, Ezra just described Phil as “melodramatic”.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Emelia felt furious and said, “How can I say this to Anya? She has been worried about Phil for long and wanted to see him. And we thought that she had not recovered, thereby stopping her.”

“Now what?” Emelia vented all her dissatisfaction on Julian.

But Julian just laughed and said, “Just tell the truth.”

“What?” Emelia felt angrier, “Do you know Anya is still in the postpartum confinement? If I tell her the truth, she will definitely be angry. It’s not good for a woman after birth giving, is it?”

Emelia thought that Anya had suffered enough for those days. She no longer wanted Anya to be angry or sad. Fortunately, the baby was in the hospital, and Anya didn’t need to breastfeed her. Otherwise, if Anya felt sad and unhappy, it would influence the baby directly.

Julian kept silent and waited for Emelia to vent her anger.

Afterward, he said to her in a soft voice, “My dear wife. I know it. But except telling her the truth, what else can we do?”

“If we keep it from her, it won’t work but let her think nonsense. She will be more anxious, won’t she?”

Emelia was caught off guard by his words.

Julian said in earnest, “Getting through such an accident, Anya is no longer a pampered girl. I think she can take it.”

“And it is their business whether they meet each other or not. As bystanders, we can only let them deal with it on their own.”

“What’s more, Anya can always handle him easily. Maybe she is able to change Phil’s mind. It is better than our persuasions, isn’t it?”

Emelia thought what Julian said made sense. If Phil just got out of surgery, they could stop Anya from visiting him on the pretext of his feeling indisposed.

But it had been almost a month, and Phil should be discharged from the hospital. Indeed, she could not hide it from Anya anymore if she didn’t let Anya go to see him. So, it was not a bad idea to tell her the truth.

But Emelia still warned his husband in an “unfriendly” tone, “If it irritates Anya, I won’t forgive you.”

After finishing her words, she hung up.

Julian put away his phone in resignation and felt confused by her words. He actually had no way to change Phil’s attitude.

Returning to the ward, Julian told everything to Phil, “Emelia said Anya wanted to see you. And I have asked Emelia to tell her that you don’t want to see her.”

Ezra exclaimed, “You did tell Emelia to say so?”

Julian shrugged his shoulders and said, “What else? I had no choice.”

On the bed, Phil looked calm with no reaction, but Ezra got into a flap, stared at Phil, and said in exasperation, “Don’t be so naive at such age, OK?”

“If I were Anya, I would be pissed off by hearing your refusal of seeing me.”

“I just risked my life to give birth to a daughter for you, and you actually said that you were unwilling to see me?”

“That really hurt! Do you know?”

Ezra stuck up for Anya. He couldn’t understand Phil at all. He and Anya just got through a dire accident, and he protected her from the bullet with his own body. Ezra thought that their relationship would absolutely be deepened by leaps and bounds. Unexpectedly, Phil actually began to avoid her.

Phil turned his head and looked out the window, murmuring in a self-deprecating way, “I just want to hurt her and make her leave me.”

Then he would be relieved.

Before, he wished and tried hard to make Anya no longer hate him.

Now, he just wished Anya to resent him instead.
