My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Anya thought Lorie would also be delighted to hear she would stay for her. But to her surprise, Lorie shook her hands a bit intensely for a few times.

It scared Anya out.

She could feel that Lorie didn’t want her to stay.

“Don’t you want me to stay, mom?” asked Anya.

Perhaps, Lorie was exhausted for responding to her for so long. She didn’t react to her this time. Instead, she fell into unconsciousness again.

Anya was so worried that she went for Dr. Choffard. He comforted her patiently, “Take it easy. Your mother must be tired out. She has come to herself, though slightly, but I think she will fully regain consciousness after we run the check-ups and make the most suitable recovery plan for her.”

Anya nodded with confusion.

Then Dr. Choffard went for the general check-ups and group consultation for Lorie with several other doctors in hospital, while Anya sat down in the restroom, feeling worried and uneasy.

In the Old Time Cafe owned by Ezra.

Phil came straight to the cafe from the court after he divorced Anya. Ezra and the other guys were waiting for him there, and Arthur had return from town, because they all knew it would be a long day for Phil.

Phil pushed the door open and went into a private box, then he glanced at Arthur, “No need to lay it on so thick! Hell, do you think I will cut my wrist to kill myself too?”

Phil was mocking himself. Surely, he knew clearly why Ezra had asked him out to the cafe after he got divorced. Apparently, they were worried about him and they were afraid that he might do something stupid.

He really wanted to stop Anya from divorcing him by cutting her wrist but he also knew that Anya wouldn’t cry for him even if he died in front of her. She just hated his guts now and she couldn’t wait to kill him for her mother.

They were in different office rooms to finish the divorcing procedures, but he could see her face on the camera from beginning to the end. She didn’t hesitate a bit to sign her name on the papers. Obviously, she simply couldn’t wait to get rid of him and set herself free.

Unlike her, Phil was in another room and he signed with his shaking hand.

He looked down from the room after they finished the divorcing procedures. He saw she left determinedly. But he just felt heart-broken and couldn’t help teasing himself.

He had been loving and caring for her for four years. But it just meant nothing to her when compared with the accident he had caused indirectly.

He didn’t mean to hurt Lorie or put her into unconsciousness. His original intention was that he wanted to help them get away from the jerk and live a wonderful life, so that they could be superior to those shameless bastards.

Phil left the court and got in the car. He rested himself on the back seat with his eyes closed. He knew he couldn’t focus on driving, so he had called for the driver to take him there.

They were in the cafe now. Arthur looked at Phil’s gloomy face and suggested, “We still have a few days off. How about going on a holiday in the suburb? We can take hot spring bath or go skiing.”

“Jean is pregnant, right? Do you think it a good idea?” said Phil, carelessly.

“The girls will stay. It’s guys time.” said Arthur.

Phil had just got a divorce and they wouldn’t be so foolish as to go on a holiday with their wives and children to upset him.

So, they talked it over and decided that only the guys would go on a holiday with Phil. The girls would stay in and have fun together. But it frustrated Arthur that Jean fully supported the idea when he told her about it.

Arthur was unhappy and wondered why she didn’t like to stay with him.

Later he asked Julian and Ezra and got to know that Emelia and Maisie thought the same as Jean. Then he felt better and was fine with it.

At first, they thought it might be a bad idea to leave the girls behind and it would break their hearts. But it turned out that they had flattered themselves. Actually, the girls were really happy with the arrangement.

Of course, Phil understood they made the decision only to cheer him up. Or, how could they bear the pain to leave their beloved wives and kids behind like that?

He knew how it felt to cling to the women they loved. He wanted to see her 24/7 when they were first in a relationship. And he had never been tired of her though they had lived together for four years.

So, he lowered his eyes and said coldly, “No need. Just stay with your family.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

He didn’t want anyone around. Anya was all to him and he wanted her only.

His phone rang right after he finished speaking. It was Dr. Choffard, Lorie’s attending doctor in hospital.

Phil frowned lightly and sat up to pick up the phone.

He hired Dr. Choffard at high salary years ago to give treatment to Anya’s mother particularly.

He picked up the phone and heard Dr. Choffard reporting to him joyfully, “Mr. Henderson, Mrs. Henderson’s mother has regained consciousness.”

Dr. Choffard knew the relationship between Phil and Anya, and he kept calling Anya “Mrs. Henderson”.

But Phil wasn’t in the mood of correcting him at the moment. He was totally in shock and he couldn’t speak a word for quite a while.

He wished Lorie could wake up more than anyone else, Anya included.

He knew Anya wouldn’t be happy again if Lorie remained unconscious.

And he just wanted her to be happy.

Dr. Choffard felt his amazement and added, “It’s true. Mrs. Henderson came to visit her mother just now and told us her fingers moved. We did the check-ups for her and found that she has recovered consciousness. I’ll do a general check-up and evaluation later.”

“Indeed, it’s a medical miracle!”

Phil finally came to himself in Dr. Choffard’s exclamation.

“Let me know after you finish the evaluation.” said Phil.

“OK.” Dr. Choffard asked in hesitation, “Aren’t you coming over? Mrs. Henderson is still here but she doesn’t look good.”

“She doesn’t look good?” he asked and mocked himself, “How come? She’s set herself free now and she should be happy.”

Dr. Choffard had no idea what he was talking about but he was sure that Phil was in a bad mood. So, he just kept silent.

Then Phil suddenly added, “I’m not going over. Just inform me on the phone later. And, we’ve got divorced. She’s not Mrs. Henderson any more.”

What? They had divorced?

Dr. Choffard was totally stunned at it. In his eyes, they were a sweet couple. He didn’t know how Anya felt for him, but he was pretty sure that Phil was totally devoted to her.

For Lorie, Phil had been trying to find every possible therapeutic scheme over the past years and he had never given up on it.

He even hired Dr. Choffard as her attending doctor at high salary. He requested him to cure her at any cost. He didn’t care how much money it would cost him or what kind of way it had to be. He just wanted him to cure her.

Phil came visit Lorie with Anya right before the new year, and they were good.

Why did they get divorced out of a blue?
