Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 154.
Clarence’s POVThe morning air felt light, like it hadn’t yet made up its mind whether to scorch or stay mild. I sat quietly in the backseat of the car as we pulled away from the house, watching the city wake up. It was supposed to be a routine meeting—a follow-up with a group of investors who wanted to expand into the wellness sector. I had done hundreds of meetings like this. But today, I couldn’t shake the tight feeling in my chest.I sent Julian a quick message as we pulled up to the expressway.“Heading to the meeting now. Will update in 10.”I could almost hear his voice in my head telling me to be careful. I wasn’t used to being checked on this much, but I understood why. After the accident… after Damon… things hadn’t felt right. And Julian wasn’t the type to let his guard down once it was up.The car ride was uneventful at first. We passed the usual places—old banks, street vendors already setting up, that bakery I kept meaning to stop by. But then, something caught my eye in
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 153.
Julian’s POV.I was at the hospital by 8 a.m., but my mind hadn’t arrived with me.I moved through the motions—greeting the nurses, checking charts, and discussing cases but the weight of Damon’s business card burned like a hidden coal in my pocket. That sleek black design. His name was printed in silver like it meant something.Why did she still have it?I tried to brush it off. Tried to remind myself that Damon had no place in her life anymore but silence had its language. The surgery I was scheduled for wasn’t complicated—a routine appendix removal. I scrubbed in and focused on the procedure like I always did. But halfway through, I realized I was reaching for the wrong instrument.My assistant corrected me gently, her voice low but firm: “Scalpel, Doctor.”I stared down, my jaw tight, and nodded. I finished the surgery without another mistake, but I knew I had been off. I wasn’t fully present and that wasn’t just dangerous, it was unacceptable.Afterwards, I walked straight into
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife CHAPTER 153.
Clarence’s POV.I didn’t expect Damon to show up again. Not after the way I shut him down at the hospital. But the man had always been persistent. He had this way of pressing until you gave in—not always through force, sometimes just by lingering long enough until you were too tired to resist. That part of him hadn’t changed.I sat by the window in my room, staring out at the empty street below. The afternoon sun washed the buildings in a soft haze, but I felt no comfort in it. Everything still felt off. Damon’s sudden reappearance in my life, his soft-spoken apologies, and now this… plea to help him “start over.” I wasn’t naive. He never did anything without an agenda. Still, part of me felt unsettled—like there was something I wasn’t seeing clearly.Julian called just as I was going through some documents. Hearing his voice made my chest loosen a bit. He always had that effect. Steady, reassuring. I put my pen down and leaned back on the couch.“How are you feeling today?” he asked
Heiress Return: Revenge Of The Crippled Ex-Wife chapter 150
Clarence’s POV. The hospital room felt less suffocating after a few days, and by the time I was discharged, I was desperate for the quietness of home. Julian brought me back himself, as he always insisted on doing things personally, especially when it came to me. He didn’t want me walking around too much, even though the doctor said I would heal completely with time. That evening, we had dinner in the garden. He had made sure the table was set with all my favorites. The breeze was light, the food warm, and his presence grounding. But my appetite was missing, just like my peace. I pushed a fork around my plate, and the food was barely touched. “I had that dream again last night,” I said, softly. Julian looked up from his plate. “The one about your mother?” I nodded. “It’s always the same. We’re in the car. It’s raining. She’s glancing at me through the rearview mirror, saying something I can’t quite hear. Then the horn, the screech… and then she’s gone.” He set his fork down,

Clarence’s POV.I opened my eyes slowly to the soft beeping of machines. The sterile scent of disinfectant clung to the air. My head felt heavy, and my body still ached from the accident. I had been in and out of consciousness since I was brought in, but today, I felt more awake—alert enough to notice the small details. The drawn curtains, the flowers on the nightstand, and the fact that I was alone.Julian had work to do so I bet that was why he wasn't around. As a doctor, he was busier and could not take breaks as he would do back then while he still worked in the company and I totally understood knowing he would be here with me at any slightest chance or space he gets.I lay on the bed lost in thoughts until the door creaked open, bringing me out of my thoughts and Damon stepped in with a plastic bag in one hand and a bouquet of lilies in the other.“Hey. Good day,” he greeted with a smile that almost didn't reach his eyes as he came closer. His sudden visit and presence left me on
