OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

The moment Rupert pushes open the door, what came into view was a pale looking John laying on the bed.

His four limbs are wrapped up and look like a mummy and his head had bandages on. Blood seeped from his forehead and his face was covered in cuts. He is totally different from his usual handsome self.

"John!" Alice rushes to the bedside and sees John laying in agony. Her crystalline tears start to flow. If it wasn't for helping her, how would John become so severely injured?

"John, wake up. It's me, I'm here to see you. I'm Alice!" Alice holds onto John's weak and lifeless hand. It is cold and clammy and it chills her to her bone. She feels guilty and responsible for his state.

Edward looks at her and she holding onto John's hand and frowns. If it isn't for the seriousness of John's injuries, he definitely cannot accept her holding onto another man's hand. Not to mention she crying for another man. He was furious. Rupert can see Edward's expression and guess the reasons. On the one side is his best friend, on the other side, is an elite not to be trifled with.

Rupert hesitates and then carefully says, "Mister Smith, why don't we go to the sitting room, perhaps Miss Roberts would like some privacy."

As soon as he says that, he can feel the fury radiating from Edward. Wasn't he getting himself into unnecessary trouble?

But he really wishes that his friend can wake from his coma and the only person who can do that is Alice, no one else.

Love is a powerful medicine.

The only person who John is concerned with all these years is Alice.

Edward looks at Rupert coldly and then turns to look at Alice. She is focused on John as if nothing else matters. Her relentless attention to John is making him indescribably furious.

"Get up!" He walks forward and softly says to Alice.

Alice is forcibly pulled up and loses her balance and sees Edward's expression and reddened eyes. She hasn't come to terms with her guilt and demands, "Let go of me, I want to accompany John." "You've already seen him, come with me!" Edward says while pulling Alice's hand towards the door.

"Release me, I've said that I want to accompany him, I won't go back with you!" Alice struggles for her hand and looks at Edward with determination.

Edward pauses, his handsome looks turned cold and vicious, glaring at her furiously.

She didn't look away and bites her lips in determination.

Rupert who is observing at the side didn't know what to do and looks at John and sighs. If John wakes up and sees Alice doing this to Edward because of him, perhaps what he did was worth it? "I will engage the best doctor to treat him, come with me!" With this Edward provides his compromise and that is his limit.

Alice pauses and looks at Edward for a couple of seconds, lowers her head and says, "I want to stay with him."

"Alice!"

Edward pulled Alice into his arms, lifts her chin, and looks at her, forcing her to look directly into his eyes, "I already said that I will engage the best doctor to treat him, what else are you worried of?"

"He became like this because of me, how can I leave him like that? Edward, do you understand?" Alice yells and shoves Edward away.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Edward isn't ready for it and is pushed to the wall. He leans on the wall and says to her, "Is he more important to you than me?" Woah... Rupert mouth opens in shock, did he hear correctly? A big boss of SA Group asking such a... such a childish question?!!

But Edward's expression makes one feel that it isn't childish but a fundamental issue.

She bites her lips. On one side is the severely injured John who went through her toughest five years and cared for her all those years, always by her side even though she treated him like her big brother. But now John has lost his voice, and became like that, how can she abandon him? And on the other side is the person who she loved for so many years.

How should she choose?

"Let's go!" Edward went forward to pull Alice's hand and once again, Alice dodged and his hand swiped the empty air, and then his eyes filled with sorrow, "This is your choice?"

"I'm sorry."

""Very well, Alice!"

Edward eventually leaves and Rupert looks at Alice whose eyes were red. He wants to say something but yet doesn't know where to being and can only offer a paper napkin, "I don't think John wishes to see you like this."

These words trigger her tears and she couldn't hold them back anymore, "How long has he been in this condition?"

"That day when I came with my kids he woke up once but because he is too weak and his body functions were severely injured. Actually, it would be best to go to the hospital but I am worried that those people will continue to hurt him. That's why I didn't dare to take him to the hospital and can only have the family doctor attend to him. But this isn't a long term solution. It is dangerous for him to remain in-country. I suggest that we send him overseas."

"Overseas?" Alice is stunned. She thought of Jacqueline and wonders that had she recovered from her accident.

"Yes. The treatment would be better overseas and we shouldn't delay any further getting him treated." Rupert says as he looks at him with worry.

Alice becomes sullen, overseas... John dropped everything to be with her those years when she was overseas and now... he is injured because of her. Perhaps it was the best that she goes overseas with him.

All that Joanna did was to let her leave this place and away from Edward.

As long as she agrees not to see Edward, not return to this country, then all problems will be resolved.

But when she thinks of Edward... Alice's heart ached and her eyes reveal her sorrows.

Rupert looks on and didn't say a word and exits the room. After all, he had said what he wanted. The rest was out of his control.000000000000
