Hunting for His EX-Wife

At night, Jenna washed up and lay down on the ground, ready to close her eyes and sleep. Suddenly, she received a phone call from her younger brother.

“Sis, can you come over now? Mom’s in trouble, she’s about to be beaten to death!”

“Where are you now?” Jenna quickly sat up, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly.

Upon learning the name of the hospital, she couldn’t care less about tidying up and rushed out in her pajamas.

Rhys stopped her. “What are you going out for? At least change your clothes.”

Noticing the tears streaming down Jenna’s face, he was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever seen her cry.

Jenna had always been strong and had never shed a tear on ordinary days.

“My mother is currently in the hospital, and at Death’s door.”

“Why are you still standing here? Hurry and change your clothes, I’ll drive you!”

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the hospital and Jenna rushed to the ward. She saw her mother covered in bandages from head to toe and tears welled up in her eyes.

“What’s going on here? Who did this?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She rushed to her mother with a tone almost of despair.

When she returned home during the day, her mother was fine. How had things escalated so quickly in just one afternoon?

“I don’t know either, maybe it was our dad who hit her,” Keaton stood beside wiping his tears, his voice choked up. “Dad used to hit Mom frequently before, that’s why I decided to work and make money so that Mom wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.”

Just at that moment, the doctor walked in and discussed the treatment plan with both of them.

“I suggest the first option, but it will require a lot of medical expenses.”

Jenna tightly BIT her lip, having spent all the money on her to pay for her brother’s tuition during the day.

How could she raise money for her mother’s medical expenses?

“Transfer the patient to the VIP ward, please bring in the specialist. Don’t worry about the treatment cost, the Williams family will cover it.”

Rhys walked in and solved Jenna’s dilemma.

After the doctor left, Keaton looked at him with curiosity and asked, “Are you my brother-in-law? You’re not allowed to bully my sister!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Keaton, he has never bullied me,” Jenna said helplessly as she covered her brother’s mouth.

Keaton nodded his head in a somewhat understanding manner.

He was about to have a few more words with his brother-in-law when suddenly he saw his father storming in aggressively.

“You little bitch, your mother is a cheap woman. She doesn’t need to stay in hospital…”

Halfway through the conversation, Titus suddenly saw his daughter and son-in-law standing next to him, and instantly changed his expression.

“What I mean is, why stay in the hospital when we have such a good son-in-law? We must send her to a specialized sanatorium and bring in the best doctors to ensure there are no lingering health issues.”

“Get lost!” Jenna saw him and gritted her teeth in anger. He was shameless, how dare he come to the hospital.

Keaton also had an unfriendly expression, he stretched out his hands and shielded Jenna.

“Get out of here, you’re not our father. Mom’s injuries are all because of you. You must have beaten her like this.”

Titus paused for a moment, then bent down with a smile on his face and rubbed his little head.

“Keaton, don’t talk nonsense. What if someone misunderstands you? The injuries on your mother’s body were caused by those debt collectors who came to collect debts. I came home too late and didn’t protect your mother well. Don’t you believe me?”

He knew that his credibility in speaking was low at the moment. He fell to his knees with a thud, wiping away tears and wearing a pained expression. “She’s my beloved wife,” he said. “For all these years, I’ve been gambling non-stop, but she’s the only one who’s stayed by my side. How could I bear to hurt her? It was those debt collectors who did this to me. I’m repentant now, but can you really abandon your father like this, Keaton and Jenna?”

Keaton cried and believe his father’s words again.

“Even if it wasn’t you who hit Mom, she was still beaten because of you.”

“Yes, yes, my dear son. Don’t argue with me. I was wrong. Study hard and get into a good school. You also need to support each other with your sister.”

“Do you really not gamble anymore?” Keaton asked, half-believing.

“Of course I won’t go, I have you two kids. Why would I gamble anymore? Whoever tries to make me gamble in the future, I will fight them!” Titus had already the skill of lying without blinking.

He knelt on the ground and kept swearing, successfully fooling Keaton.

“You can’t trust a gambler’s words. If you really want to be a good dad, go work at the construction site starting tomorrow and keep at it for three months. Then I’ll believe you.”

As luck would have it, the Williams family had a project going on that was hiring construction workers and offering high pay, but with tight scheduling.

Titus was guaranteed to focus solely on sleeping and eating after work without any thoughts of gambling.

“Well…” Titus hesitated.

Keaton didn’t care if he refused or not; he clapped her hands together and said, “My sister’s right! Dad, go work and make money to pay for Mom’s medical bills as well as my tuition!”

Titus looked at his daughter then his son-in-law before thinking about the Williams family’s money and his own happiness in the future. He made up his mind with a nod.

If worse came to worst, he could always gamble again after these three months were over.

“I’ll help cover your mom’s medical expenses first. Later on, write an IOU note so that your wages can be used towards paying off your debt,” Rhys added slowly.

After making sure Mrs. Stout was okay, they turned around to head back home.

On their way back home, Jenna thought about her father’s expression just now before bursting out laughing. “Thank you so much earlier! He must be feeling so depressed right now; Since I was born, he had never worked for even over one month.”

Now that Rhys had suggested her father working three months, which must be an ordeal for her father.

Rhys remained silent for a moment before asking in return, “Who do you think caused your mother’s injuries?”

The car fell into silence upon hearing those words. It wasn’t until they stopped outside of the Williams Villa that Jenna gave a bitter smile in response.

“I think it was my dad who did it. The people who lent him money aren’t stupid; if they hurt someone while collecting debts, then there’d be no way for them to get their money. Also, they had to make amends for the injuries caused by them.”

Titus only managed to deceive Keaton alone.

“It looks like you’re not smarter than I imagined,” Rhys glanced over at her giving praise for the first time ever.
