Hunting for His EX-Wife

Jimmy’s obsidian-like eagle eyes were locked onto Anna. “Let’s talk after your father’s surgery,” he said.

Anna nodded.

An hour later, Mr. Miller was wheeled into the operating room, and Mrs. Miller arrived at the hospital two hours two hours after the operation was performed.

When Anna faced Mrs. Miller, her emotions were complicated.

“You’ve disappointed me,” Mrs. Miller said to Anna with a gaze that no longer held any affection but was filled with anger and blame instead.

“Mom, my brother did something wrong and deserves punishment. I don’t have the ability to save him.”

Faced with her mother’s angry accusations, Anna felt helpless tears welling up in her eyes.

“You may not have the ability, but that man does,” Mrs. Miller continued as she pointed towards Jimmy nearby while speaking to Anna.

“He is the CEO of the Harrison Group; all he needs to do is say a word and your brother will be fine.”

“He found top-notch doctors for Dad and paid for all medical expenses too,” she added before turning back to face Anna.

“I can’t go begging him again for help.”

“Mom, please don’t push me anymore or I’ll really break down,” an anguished Anna pleaded as sadness washed over her pale face.

Mrs. Miller snorted coldly.

“If your brother gets sentenced, then I’ll never forgive you – it would be like you were never born.”

Anna looked helpless as she stared intently in the direction of the operating room with worried eyes.

“Dad… you must get through this hurdle… you can’t have any problems.”

With hands clasped together in silence, she prayed silently within herself.

Due to business matters at his company, Jimmy left before the surgery ended.

Six hours later when doctors emerged from surgery, Anna immediately ran over.

“The operation went smoothly but … the patient’s condition doesn’t allow him to leave hospital anytime soon,” said one doctor.

“Doctor… may I ask how much money was spent on this operation?” asked an embarrassed-looking Anna.

The doctor smiled and said, “The surgery and the following treatment will cost about 800 thousand. But Miss Miller, you don’t need to worry. Mr. Harrison has paid all the expenses, so Mr. Miller can receive treatment in the hospital without any worries. As long as he cooperates with us, he will definitely recover.”

When Anna heard this number, she was completely stunned. How would she ever repay such a massive amount?

She was lost in thoughts about how she would ever repay this enormous debt.

With heavy steps, she arrived at her father’s hospital room. Seeing him lying there with thick bandages on his head and tubes connected to his body, Anna felt heartbroken.

“Mr. Harrison offered to cover the medical expenses for your father. It shows that he cares about you a lot, Anna. You should go find him and ask for help to save your brother. I will stay here to take care of your father,” Mrs. Miller urged Anna.

“I will find a way to repay him. Mom, you stay here with Dad. I… I need to go back to the company to prepare for the upcoming talent show. As for my brother’s situation, I will figure something out,” Anna replied.

“Are you sure you can save your brother?” Mrs. Miller asked skeptically.

“I… I will find a way,” Anna promised, and Mrs. Miller nodded in approval.

“Go quickly.”

After making arrangements, Anna took a ride back to J. S. Entertainment and headed straight to the practice room. Mia was dancing diligently, displaying elegant and graceful moves. Upon seeing Mia’s dedication, Anna’s lips curved into a faint smile.

When Mia noticed Anna, she approached her. “How is your father? I heard he was hospitalized, and I was planning to visit him this afternoon. How is he doing? Do you need any help?”

Anna shook her head with a smile. “Everything is fine, Mia. I must win first place in the talent show and get that 100 thousand prize.”

Though 100 thousand was only a fraction of 800 thousand, Anna had made up her mind to work hard and repay Jimmy, no matter how difficult the days ahead might be.

“Sure, let’s work hard together,” Mia said with determination.

To win the final victory, Anna spent all her time training except for visiting her father in the hospital. Her hard work moved her teachers deeply. In no time, the new talent show began.

Anna was nervous with makeup on and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. “You can do it, Anna. Your efforts will be recognized,” she said to herself while making some cheering gestures.

Mia came over to Anna after finishing her makeup and said, “I’m a little nervous.” She patted her chest in fear.

Anna smiled confidently after adjusting herself emotionally. “We can succeed by showing our usual training level.”

The dazzling confidence made Anna look more powerful.

As they were making their final preparations, Charlee approached them.

“This is the pear juice that my mom specially cooked for me, it’s throat-soothing and can make your voice clearer.”

Charlee handed the juice to Anna.

Mia glanced at Charlee’s cup suspiciously when she walked over with the juice. Why would Charlee send juice to Anna? Mia made a bold guess in her mind: Was it because…

“Anna, Charlee is kind-hearted,” Mia said sweetly while looking at Anna’s face closely. “You’re singing today, and pear juice really helps clear your throat.”

“My mom personally boiled this; it tastes really good. I didn’t know you well before and said a lot of things to humiliate you, but after seeing all the hard work you’ve done for so many days, I really feel guilty, so this pear juice is even my apology to you.”

Charlee spoke again without any arrogance or conceit like before as she handed over the cup of pear juice to Anna who accepted it saying thank you while taking several sips under Mia and Charlee’s gazes.

A cunning smile flashed across Charlee’s slightly drooping eyes indicating that there might be some plan behind this gesture as she turned around saying, “I’ll go prepare first.”

Mia could clearly see the pride in her eyes. Did Charlee really make a move against Anna? Mia was filled with excitement.
