CHRISTIAN

As soon as I entered my villa with Zeon, Mom hurried toward us and hugged him. "My baby, you came!" she exclaimed. "Come on, Nana has prepared all your favourite dishes.”

Zeon blinked, hesitantly watching me as he evidently fell into a dilemma.

“He has eaten already.” I said blankly.

Mom’s face darkened immediately, “didn't I ask you—”

"Zeon, go to your room," I instructed, my tone conveying a serious and firm demeanour.

He immediately obliged, and his governess followed him in haste. Once they were out of my sight, I turned to Mom. “Yes, you wanted to have dinner with him, but they had an early dinner today. Now what? Do you want to force him to have dinner again to satisfy your ego?” I couldn’t help the chilliness in my tone.

Mom gasped, her eyes widening. “I- whe-en did I say that?” A frown formed on her face. “Christian, can you stop being mean to me and making me a villain when I was only trying to protect my family?”

"Mom, just leave me alone and stop trying to protect

    VERONICA“What!?” Aunt Lucy's incredulous exclamation reverberated through her room as she fixed me with a disbelieving stare, quickly superseded by a forceful grunt. “That bloody Wolfe!” She gritted her teeth. “How dare he!? Does he have a death wish?”Sitting silently on the couch, I sighed inwardly. This was her reaction to hearing about Christian's deeds. Well, isn't it obvious? Any human in their right mind would react that way.In fact, I'm still in disbelief that he saved his lover, even though she tried to hurt his own son. Was he truly that blinded by love?“And you send him back with him, even after knowing what that woman did?” She frowned in disapproval.I sighed, "I know, but Zeon doesn't know anything. He loves his father, auntie, and all of a sudden, how could I stop him from going back? I didn't want to traumatize him. He wouldn't understand," I said helplessly. "Besides, Christian wouldn't take a risk, not for now at least. He would perhaps warn his lover not to do an

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 52 I am his mother!

    VERONICAWhen I reached Wolfe Villa, the ambulance had already arrived. The siren's bursting sound almost deafened me as I hurriedly got out of my car.I hurried into the villa and encountered the paramedics, who were carefully carrying Christian on a stretcher. One glance at his pale, unconscious figure almost shook me. No wonder Zeon was terrified.The paramedics paused seeing me since they're well aware of my identity. “Dr. Granger.”“Yes, please don't stop, take him to the ambulance, and send him to the emergency section.” I urged them, and they immediately left.Prior to initiating my search for Zeon, he unexpectedly approached and embraced me, his small frame trembling as he wept, his face concealed against my abdomen. “Mom, pp-papa…” He murmured. He then looked up, his eyes red and brimming with tears, revealing the vulnerability concealed beneath his previously brave demeanour.I bend beside him, “calm down, mom is here. Papa will be fine.” I assured him while trying to keep m

    VERONICAHer head tilted to the side as she stumbled back. Her eyes shot up at me in disbelief. Both of them turned numb, and before they could come up with a more complicated response, I coldly gazed at Diana, completely ignoring that bitch, “do not dare to cross the line with me.” I hissed sharply."You left the little child home alone, and he, scared of his father's situation, was forced to call me. This shows the shameful carelessness of someone who claims to be a careful mother and grandmother.”"It was I who called the ambulance and brought him to the hospital. So, bearing that in mind, stay away from the hospital's affairs. Unlike you, I am a doctor and well aware of my responsibilities. If you dare to raise your voice again, I will call security and have both of you removed from the hospital.” I formally cautioned them; my firm tone resonated through the hallway, causing the approaching nurse to stiffen in response to my authority. Knowing me, she understood that if necessary,

    VERONICAThis evening's disagreement continues to weigh heavily on me, as my gaze lingered on the haggard, unconscious man…His intense gaze remains vivid in my memory… I observed pain, disbelief, and disappointment in his orbs, as if, as if he were imploring me to believe his innocence.Following Christian's lapse into a coma, my thoughts have repeatedly returned to our intense argument earlier this evening. Nate's initial concerns about exhaustion aside, I remain deeply unsettled.However, was I truly at fault? Were there no other contributing factors to his predicament? I suspect I bear some responsibility for his condition, yet remain unconvinced. Was exhaustion the sole cause?Could it be that he was truly innocent and unaware of Celine's involvement? But then, why did he refute William's involvement? What prompted him to create that scene if he wasn't protecting Celine?Or, it's just my foolish thoughts, trying to defend him subconsciously? Ugh!I slumped against the couch and c

    VERONICA"What the heck?" I gasped, flipping through the pages. "How's that even possible?”"I, too, found this unexpected, Doctor. Mr. Wolfe showed no obvious signs of poisoning, so I repeated the test, and the results were unchanged.It appears the poison was ingested very slowly, but consistently," Sophie replied.I frowned, "Due to the slow absorption rate, there were no acute symptoms, only significant fatigue. However, what was the purpose of that medication, then?” I murmured."Medication?" Sophie caught the word. Her brows furrowed as she gazed at me. "There was no trace of unusual medication intake in his blood, except aspirin. It seems he often takes it.”"Aspirin..." A wave of concern washed over me.The mention of aspirin usually indicates fever or pain. I remembered him fainting at my place before; he had a fever then, and assistant Blake mentioned a headache as well. Could this be related?“Doctor? Are you thinking of something?” Sophie's concerned voice caught my attent

    VERONICASlightly bewildered by his request, I blinked. "My dear, I'm not sure I understand," I said, leaning towards him. "As his doctor, I am, in fact, providing his care, am I not?”“Not here, mom, but at home.” He said, making me freeze.I was taken aback for a moment, “Bb-but how can I—?”"Please, Mom, please take care of Papa," he pleaded, clutching my apron tightly. "You're a doctor, Mom. You can take care of him better than a nurse. I am scared. Please, Mom, please.”I was deeply concerned. His plea was heartbreaking, and his tearful, frightened expression pained me. Zeon is not one to create unnecessary trouble, so his distress must have stemmed from genuine fear and insecurity following his father's collapse, which only made me fear more for him.I cupped his cheeks. "Baby, I understand that. But you know Cade is still a baby; how can I leave her alone at home?" I tried to make him understand.He, however, grasped my apron sleeves. "Please bring her with you; I will take car

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 57 Dr. Veronica Granger

    VERONICAI drive back home with a troubled heart. William's argument with that woman arose numerous questions within me…What is my connection to all of this? Why is William postponing his surgery on my account? What are his intentions? Or could I simply be an unintended consequence, and is there a larger story at play?Perhaps there is another Dr. Veronica, for whom William is hesitant to undergo surgery… However, I quickly dismissed that possibility. While coincidence is possible, it seems unlikely.After hearing them go at it, I figured it was best to bail. Wasn't I already swamped enough without more drama piling on?Alas! What is happening in my life?Following all that has transpired, I still find myself pondering one question: Why would William decline his surgery because of me?Stopping the car before my Christian's villa, I sighed. How could I possibly be implicated in all of this?I rubbed my temples in frustration and turned to the back seat, where Cadence was sleeping peac

    CELINEI stared at Veronica's cold eyes in disbelief. They burned with accusation, as if—as if she truly knew!But how?"Wh-at are you saying? What drug?" I tried to control my shaky tone, my fists clenched tightly.A smirk played on her lips as she advanced, inquiring, "Attempting to deceive me, Celine? Have you never heard the saying, ‘One must never lie to a doctor?’” Her gaze was sharp, her tone dripping with sarcasm.I swallowed hard under her intense gaze. It felt as though she was concealing much more beneath her blazing orbs.Di-id, she perhaps find out about the accidents already? My blood ran cold at the thought. However, I refused to believe it. Knowing Veronica, she wouldn't ignore it if she knew the truth! Furthermore, there is no way she will discover my involvement.I held her gaze, and I wouldn't let her have the satisfaction of cornering me! “I have no idea what you're on about! I didn't do a thing!" I hissed, then bolted from his room.Rushing into my room, I locked

    VERONICAEvents unfolded rapidly. The kidnapping, the rescue— everything. But what pierced me the most was Celine's hoarse shouting at me and her evil sneer even in her pathetic state.And that scares me—’Many people want your life and even if I go away, someone else will come and destroy you!’—those words are still ringing in my ears like a sharp dagger.I am still puzzled and shaken to the core. It is gruesome and odious. I just want to take my children and leave somewhere where no one would know about us. I want to protect them with everything I have, but if people are attacking us like this, how can I possibly do that?And most importantly, who are these people? Who is behind me?A soft whimper broke my concentration as I began to pat Cadence's chest. She was asleep at the time. Following her rescue from Christina, she was unconscious and experiencing respiratory distress, so I promptly transported her to the emergency room for a comprehensive evaluation; she has since been transf

    VERONICA“What?” I gasped aloud. I felt numb as my entire world started darkening.The sound of Aunt Lucy's weeping rings in my ears. "I was walking with them when a car suddenly stopped, and two masked men emerged. They shoved Zeon and me aside and abducted Cadence! Veronica, I-I'm still in shock over how quickly it happened!” She cried.I swallowed hard, “I-I am coming right now! Please take care of Zeon.” And hurriedly rushed out of my chamber.On my way out, I bumped into Stan and he grabbed me. Noticing my anxiety, he frowned, “what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?”“Aunt Lucy called. She was saying two men kidnapped Cadence!” I blurted out, tears streaming down my face. “I-I have to find her!”“Alright, I am coming with you!” He said. I did not stop him, and both of us rushed out of the hospital in our hospital uniforms.Stan entered the driver's seat, and I sat beside him. My body has turned cold, still shaking as I turn on my phone's tracker.I almost slipped my phone out of

    VERONICAAll gazes were on me, and Doctor Hart's face turned black. He did not expect me to go against his word, as that was very unlikely of me. However, I am very disappointed by him and how he handled the matter when my life was on the line. Now, I do not care.“What do you want?” Dr. Hart questioned. His voice was heavy, just like the atmosphere in the room.“Pretty simple, actually. I want compensation for the harassment I have been through. I will be filing a complaint against Ms. Johnson and then the court will decide.” I stated, I was very calm and composed.“Ple-ease do-on't.” Ms. Johnson spoke for the first time. “Do-on't do this to me.” Her voice was shaking, and her face was pale. “I have a family, a five year old son. Wh-what effect will it have on him and my family?” She cried, her eyes pleading.My heart sank at her words. The faces of my children flashed before my eyes, but then I recalled the scene of how she had slandered me in front of everyone…“Dr. Granger, I thin

  • Dear Ex-wife, You Belong To Me!   Chapter 87 Felt like a dream...

    VERONICAI woke up feeling great this morning, and the first thing I saw was my two kids staring at me with their gorgeous shades of eyes.Blinking, I weighed my body on my elbow and slightly raised my head. "Hey, guys.”“Mommy!” Cadence leapt onto my chest, and I gently caught her as we fell back onto the pillows, sharing a happy giggle.I looked at my son and stretched my one hand to him. “Come here.” I said.He was probably waiting for that call, and then he snuggled up next to me as I put my arm around him.I felt so light and less burdened. Finally, I can reclaim my position. I was not at fault; it was the patient. But I'm not going to the hospital till I hear from Dr. Hart…The rest of my morning was really good. With my children around me and Aunt Lucy's motherly care—all felt so good. After a full day and night of sleep yesterday, I felt wonderfully refreshed.However, I felt a slight sense of emptiness deep down. I couldn't seem to get Christian's thoughts out of my mind.His

    CHRISTIANI wanted to ignore the call at first, but then, keeping my anger aside, I received the call. “What is it?” I couldn't help the coldness in my tone.I still couldn't believe that she tried to hurt the children just because she hated Veronica. Perhaps her initial intention was not to harm the children, but what if something unfortunate had befallen Zeon? What might she have done in that situation?I couldn't believe that being blinded by her hatred, she agreed to Celine's dangerous and stupid plan.Veronica didn't know about it yet. If she did, it would be even harder for me to convince her.A sigh came from the other end, “Christian, I know you are angry with me. Maybe I have no right to even ask for forgiveness. But please, for once, can you hear me out?”“Please, Christian.” Mom pleaded.I glanced at sleeping Veronica. I didn’t want to leave her side, but mom's broken voice was also something I couldn't bear. She might make a wrong choice, but at the moment, she is all alon

    CHRISTIANI gazed at the gorgeous woman laying beside me. Her eyes are closed. Her long lashes touching her beautiful, delicate skin. Her face was covered with a pink hue, the after-glow of our love.She was sleeping peacefully as I wore her out. The strained expression on her face had disappeared, making her expression lighter and more relaxed.Raising my hand, I caressed her face gently with my fingers. I can watch her all day and night without feeling bored. She may become mature and give birth to two children, but that pure innocence on her face remains unchanged.She was still the same Veronica I knew.Her pink lips were slightly parted, breathing steadily.I couldn't help but lower my head and kiss those alluring lips. She moved her lips meekly in sleep, making me smile in amusement.From our wedding day until now, Veronica never initiated intimacy between us, but today was different.I felt her strong response today. The way she stopped me and pulled me closer—my heart danced w

    VERONICALying in bed for a long time, I was bored without sleep. Therefore, I chose to review all my patients' records.The first file I found was Roy Johnson. He was a twenty year old obese boy with diabetic and hormonal issues. I opened his file and began reviewing his reports.Maintaining copies of patient reports is a crucial practice for doctors, contributing to both their safety and professional efficacy. Therefore, I always have a copy in my files.However, while going through his reports, I suddenly recalled that the boy was very eager to lose weight. He even asked me if he could take other supplements between treatments, but I made it crystal clear, explaining all the risks in detail.Indeed, I ensured clarity in my written report as well.A strange feeling stirred in my heart. Something feels wrong. He had a bad reaction, but it couldn't possibly be my fault.Feeling suspicious, I grabbed my phone and dialled Stan's number. In the hospital, only he can help me go through it

    VERONICAI woke up with a jolt. The ordeal I had of my children being taken away from me turned my blood cold.This can't happen! I can't lose them!However, as soon as my eyes flew open, I noticed Christian looking worriedly at me.“Veronica…” He murmured as I stared at him in a daze. He felt so surreal. Did he really come? Or am I hallucinating?“Hey, are you okay?” He asked again. His gentle voice was very soothing to my ears.I blinked and then slowly nodded. Still numb at his presence.The images from a while ago started crawling within me. I was in jail; I called him, but he switched off his phone. Stan secured my release from jail; I returned home, and subsequently, Christian arrived…“Veronica?” I was drawn back to Christian's voice, and I felt his hand on mine.I lifted my gaze at him. I honestly don't know what to say or what to expect from him. In my nightmare, he was the one taking my children away from me. But, upon opening my eyes, I discovered him at my side.Which Chri

    CHRISTIANI drove my car to the seaside. I require some time to digest everything. Tonight, Veronica rejected my advances for the first time. It hurts as if a sharp dagger pierced through my heart.Why did she look so disappointed by my presence? What made her step back from me? Was it because of that Stan guy?Devastation rolled over me. It felt like I was drowning in the unknown. Despite my consistent efforts, Veronica remains unresponsive. Our meetings mostly bring out the worst in us.It no longer constitutes her first love. It felt like she just wanted me gone.Why is it too hard to accept me, Veronica?I stood alone on the beach, unable to understand Veronica's choices anymore.Should I give up on her and move on? Not that I never thought of this possibility, I just couldn't find myself to move on from her. If I even try to get away from her, my life feels so empty and shattered…Feeling quite disoriented, I returned to my car and drove back to my villa. The servants bowed and t
