My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Questioned by Julian, Tristin was unable to say a word. He did not expect Phil and Julian could find his past history of wrongdoing.

He indeed slept with Gracie several times, but he had no feelings for her. Since she threw herself at him, he would satisfy her and he wouldn’t suffer any loss anyway.

“Actions have an impact.”

“Tristin, you’re studying law too, but you deliberately break the law. Very impressed.”

Julian’s taunts made Tristin look up at him.

Julian asked him, “Are you waiting for your parents? Or are you waiting for them to hire a lawyer for you?”

Tristin pursed his lips and averted his eyes.

His parents were all he could count on at present.

That woman in Nortopia had been out from the company, so she wouldn’t be bothered with his life or death.

Julian informed him, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Your parents have made it clear that they won’t hire a lawyer for you or spend any more money on you.”

Tristin looked up at him with startled eyes.

He couldn’t believe his parents were so heartless!

But the next second he slumped down. He had no choice but to believe Julian’s words. Ever since he entered the police station, he tried every means to contact his parents, but never got any response from them.

He thought they would contact and help him after their anger dissipated.

But it was not until Julian said those words to him that he realized his parents were determined to leave him to die.

Julian said lightly, “Your parents are smart. They know you’re hopeless, so they would rather keep the money for a restful retirement than help you do bad things. After all, you stand no chance to take care of them in the current situation.”

Julian’s words made Tristin look more flustered and paler since they did make a lot of sense.

Julian lost interest in spending time with Tristin. He rose gracefully, looked at Tristin, and said word for word, “Committing a crime is the lowest and stupidest form of revenge, and you are now eating your bitter fruit.”

“Last word. Wish you a happy and joyful prison life.”

After finishing speaking, Julian turned around and left without looking back, and this last word sounded so ironic that Tristin couldn’t say a word, but pursed her lips tightly, lost in thought.

Julian, who had reached the door, stopped again and turned back with a light smile and said, “Oh, by the way, Phil is out of danger and Anya has an acceptable recovery. Their daughter…”

“Although she’s in the incubator, the doctor said she is strong and healthy. I believe that she will be no different from a normal baby when she’s mature. I’m confident that she will be safe and sound.”

“They’re all fine. Sorry to disappoint you.”

After that, Julian left.

When the heavy cell door was closed, Tristin blacked out and fainted.

The guards came over to check on him and found that he was fine.

He fainted probably because he couldn’t stand Julian’s insulting taunts and he had been under too much mental stress recently.

Even if Tristin regretted what he had done, there was no turning back. He would be punished legally and abandoned by his family completely.

Since Lorie was in a bad situation, Anya was very worried.

Fortunately, Nina contacted Anya on a video call soon. As soon as Anya answered it, she saw Lorie on the screen.

Lorie looked very pale. It seemed that she couldn’t wait to see Anya once she woke up.

Anya’s eyes were red-rimmed, and she hurriedly reassured Lorie, “Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine now. Emelia and Maisie are here to take care of me.”

Large teardrops rolled down Lorie’s cheeks. It could be seen how much Lorie was worried about Anya.

“Mom–”

“I’m really fine.”

Anya couldn’t help but cry. She comforted Lorie while crying. Emelia and Maisie were moved. They averted their eyes that became red-rimmed.

At last, Lorie stopped crying. She shouted with difficulty and vaguely, “Any…”

It was Lorie who shouted out Anya’s name!

Before that, Lorie was slowly recovering her speech function, but the words that came out of her mouth couldn’t be understood by others.

But this time she called out Anya’s name clearly. Anya, Emelia, Maisie and Dr. Choffard, and Nina on the other side of the phone were all surprised and happy.

“Great!” Dr. Choffard was happier than anyone else, almost jumping up and down with excitement.

There was nothing more rewarding for a doctor than to see his patient getting better and better.

“Lorie, can you say something else clearly?” He encouraged Lorie.

Dr. Choffard thought Lorie might be stimulated so much by Anya’s accident that her speech function improved.

“Car, car –” Lorie continued to speak with difficulty, but she could not say another word after saying the word ‘car’. She seemed to have used up all her strength to say it.

Seeing that Lorie wanted to say something else, Dr. Choffard interrupted her, “I think that’s all for today. Calm down. Have a good rest first.”

“Yes, mom, you should. No need to hurry. You’ll be able to speak more.”

Anya also comforted Lorie, but she then added, “Did you just say the word ‘car’?”

Anya wanted to make sure she hadn’t misheard her mom before making a response.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Lorie nodded vigorously, indicating that Anya had guessed correctly what she was thinking.

Her car accident had nothing to do with Phil. That was the message Lorie had been trying to convey since she was able to speak because she wanted to solve the problem between Phil and Anya.

But she was in a bit of a hurry, so she only said the word “car”.

She desperately wanted Anya to understand what she meant so much that her eyes were full of anxiety at the moment.

“Car?” Anya frowned slightly at this end, and she murmured in some confusion, “Do you want to talk about your car accident?”

Anya was very smart. Lorie said the word “car” as soon as she could speak, so the related event should be Lorie’s car accident.

Seeing Lorie nodding her head seriously, Anya was surprised that her speculation was right. Maybe that was the tacit understanding between mother and daughter.
