My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“Mom!” Anya cried out and burst into tears.

No wonder Lorie had responded to her this time. She just told her everything that Lorie would be worried about, including getting divorced, falling out with Phil and cutting the wrist to kill herself, blah blah.

Lorie worried about her and cared about her even when she was lying on bed.

Dr. Choffard once told her that Lorie had a strong desire of living but he didn’t figure out why she didn’t regain consciousness yet.

It seemed that she was the only reason for Lorie to seek to live on!

She was worried about her and she tried hard to live on.

Thinking of it, Anya felt sad and heart-wrenched. She cried her eyes out and almost went out of breath.

Arthur held her to sit down on the chair and bent over to examine the situation of Lorie.

“Madam Willigen, Anya is in difficult times now. Wake up to show her love and give her some life suggestions. Only you can help her get over it.” said Arthur.

“Anya needs you. Without you, she won’t be happy in the rest of her life.”

This was the best he could do to stimulate Lorie. Surprisingly, Lorie not only moved her hand, but tried to open her eyes and talk as well. Sadly, she had been lying on bed for too long and she had lost all the somatic functions. So, she couldn’t do it for the time being.

But Arthur was pleased. He held her hand softly to comfort her, “Take your time, Madam Willigen. No rush. It takes time to recover.”

Lorie had calmed down a bit but Anya just stood aside with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Arthur left them alone and went out of the ward.

“Mom, I’ll be good and listen to you as long as you wake up.” said Anya, choking with sobs. Arthur heard her promise to Lorie while he was leaving.

Arthur bore it in mind and he also believed that Anya would listen to Lorie on everything. So, it was very important for Phil to build a good relationship with Lorie after she woke up.

Thinking of it, Arthur went for Phil.

Phil and Anya were at the same hospital owned by Arthur, but they were in different buildings. Anya was in the rehabilitation section.

He was having an intravenous drip and resting on the bed with his eyes closed.

Arthur sat down beside him, “It seems that Lorie will surely wake up some day. She’s worried about Anya very much.”

“That’s great.” said Phil, peacefully.

Arthur thought Phil had been down and gloomy since he fell out with Anya. He used to be the outgoing one among them but now he was blue and beat.

Arthur spoke out his concern, “You said Anya was going to study abroad, right? Lorie has shown the sign of recovering and I think she will stay for her.”

Phil opened his eyes and closed them again. He simply said with his eyes closed, “Do me a favor. Talk with her or tell Jean and the girls to convince her. She should go study abroad for her future.”

“Why did you keep her in the country then?” said Arthur impatiently.

“I thought she would rely on me for a lifetime. I won’t betray her or disappoint her once we start a family. And, it doesn’t matter whether she has a successful career or not, because I am always there for her.”

“But we’ve been divorced now and I can’t help her any time as I wish. I am afraid she will be treated badly if she isn’t strong and capable enough.”

Phil’s words made sense. This was the reality. Anya was young and inexperienced at work, without the title of Mrs. Henderson, few would think much of her.

If she went to study abroad and improve herself, she would be more competitive in the job market when she returned to the country.

“I’ll tell Jean and the girls to talk with her.” said Arthur.

“It takes time for Lorie to recover and it might be as long as years. We’ve got the best nursing workers and therapists here. She doesn’t have to stay here day and night.”

Arthur nodded and he couldn’t agree more with Phil. Anya couldn’t miss the best chance to further study and improve herself because of her mother’s recovery.

“I’m OK. Go home, dude.” said Phil, “By the way, take her home for me. Thanks.”

He said it and laughed at himself, “No need. She might not have a place to stay tonight. She definitely won’t go to my place again, even though I’ve told her she can keep the apartment.”

They’d been living together for so many years and he just knew her inside out.

He understood how hard she could be once she had decided to break up with him. She would never return to the place they lived together or go back to pack her stuffs. Fortunately, she had a great sum of money in hand now and she wouldn’t demean herself to be a homeless person. She could stay in the hotel first.

“Or… I tell Jean to invite her to stay with us?” suggested Arthur, “Anyway, Jean and I will go back to Zoshalor the day after tomorrow.”

“No need.” said Phil coldly, “Just let her figure it out herself. Let her suffer.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t remember how good he was to her.

Arthur finally saw how moody and emotional Phil was! He stood up and said, “Have the drips here. Eat and sleep properly at home. Take care of your stomach. Get well soon.”

Arthur said it and left. Phil was left alone in the spacious ward. He closed his eyes in fatigue and kept resting.

But he couldn’t help thinking of Anya whenever he closed his eyes. Then he just drowned himself in the memories.

Phil thought of the first time he met Anya.

He had become a renowned partner of a law office at that time and he was also a legend in law political circles. With the dazzling glory, he went back to his alma mater for the anniversary party.

The show program of the anniversary party were all in the same key. There were singing, dancing, talent shows and things like that, and he just found it less and less interesting. He would have left long ago if he hadn’t been invited to give a speech after the show.

While he was bored to death, the host announced the next program was national instrumental ensemble The Swordsman.

His eyes brightened up in a flash. He knew that classical culture was popular in the country but he had never felt it on the scene.

Several students came onto the stage, three girls and a boy. All of them were wearing ancient costumes and delicate classical makeups. They even had their hair tied up like the people did in ancient times.

Somehow, he was only attracted by the girl in the lead. She was in a white fairly dress and wearing a veil to cover her face. Her eyes were beautiful and bright.

She played the piano very elegantly but the music was strong and powerful.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Phil just fell for her like that.
