Feeling the warmth of his hand, Agatha’s restless heart calmed a little.

She had spent so much time around Delilah that there was no reason to be overly nervous. All she needed to do was act as she always did.

At this stage, it was only natural for her to prioritize the child over Delilah. Any slip-ups on her part would be understandable under the circumstances.

“Don’t worry, for Demian’s sake, I’ll handle this perfectly.”

When they arrived at the hospital, the act began the moment they got out of the car. Agatha dragged a reluctant Damon into the hospital room, where Delilah was having her afternoon meal.

Seeing Damon, Delilah seemed less overjoyed than usual. Instead, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

“Damon? Why are you here? Didn’t Mom say you’ve been really busy lately?”

Before Damon could answer, Agatha interjected, “I insisted he come. After all the pain you went through to give birth, how could he just ignore you?”

She pushed Damon

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Caught by Another Player

    Sully and Damon immediately halted as well. The three exchanged a glance before attempting to bolt in another direction, but it was already too late.Five more individuals emerged from behind, enclosing them completely.One of the newcomers was busy negotiating with the approaching security personnel.The car door swung open, and a familiar woman stepped out, casually twirling the car keys around her finger."Hazel Queen, long time no see."The woman’s smile was radiant, but Hazel couldn’t bring herself to return it. She recognized her immediately—it was the same woman she had encountered in the restroom, someone whose skills matched her own."Oh! Did I forget to introduce myself last time? My name is Ellie. I lost to you back then, so I didn’t have the face to say it. But this time, I’m not so sure I’ll lose."The seven individuals formed a tight circle around Hazel and her companions, making escape virtually impossible.It wa

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Flight or Fight

    Sully initially thought Damon was just trying to scare them. But the moment she saw the serious expression on his face and the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, her own expression changed instantly. If Damon wasn’t joking, then something must have happened to Xander. This also meant they were now in danger. “What exactly is going on?” Hazel walked over to Damon and took his phone to check. The screen showed Xander’s number. Hazel recognized it immediately—there was no mistake. She tapped to redial, but the result was the same: no one answered. “It’s my fault. I saw the message Xander sent me this morning but didn’t call to confirm. Now I don’t even know if his phone is still in his possession.” “But we’re in trouble ourselves now. Let’s focus on finding a safe place first.” As he spoke, Damon dialed the contact he had arranged for this trip. The call connected quickly. “Mr. Price, we’re waiting outside the airport. Should we c

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Unreachable

    Hazel snatched the phone directly from Damon’s hand. “You need to stay safe too. It’s best to confirm whether Harold is even home before heading over.”From her last visit to Harold’s estate, Hazel knew it wasn’t an easy place to enter—nor an easy place to leave.Living in such a prime and highly guarded location, there were surely numerous bodyguards watching from the shadows.She feared Xander might get caught the moment he approached the estate. If he were brought to Harold, that would be one thing—but what if he didn’t even get the chance to meet him and was dealt with beforehand?Harold had the power to make such a move in Country D, and no one would dare challenge him.The estate was Harold’s private domain. If he wanted to, he could accuse Xander of trespassing and ruin him entirely.Realizing the severity of the situation, Hazel suddenly regretted asking Xander to take this risk for her.It wasn’t necessary. If she went hersel

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Cooperate With Harold

    “Grandpa, do you think I’m a terrible person? Like, a total heartbreaker?”Mark shook his head. “Of course not. It’s just that you never really liked Gavin. You only liked the way he pampered you, not Gavin himself. In other words, you liked how he treated you.”No one dislikes being treated well. The difference lies in whether someone is wise enough to understand why others are treating them so kindly.Chrissy, still inexperienced in the ways of the world, falling for someone like Gavin was entirely natural.“Now that you’ve seen he’s not a good person, and you’ve realized all his kindness was just an act to deceive you, it’s no surprise you’ve been able to move on from him so quickly.”Grandpa Mark’s words left Chrissy deep in thought.It did seem to be the case. Even though she had been with Gavin for quite some time, she often found herself disliking him more than enjoying his company.Take, for instance, how he always liked takin

    “Sully, how can you not understand something so simple? Chrissy clearly doesn’t want to talk about it. Don’t keep pushing her,” Hazel said, unable to watch any longer, offering a few words of advice.Sully was still a bit confused, scratching the back of her head. “Huh? There’s no one in this house who isn’t closer to her than us. Why would she be embarrassed to talk?”“People need their own space,” Hazel replied. “Some things, she’ll talk about when she’s ready.”With that, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.This was the first time the Price residence had felt so lively since Agatha and Jamal left.Grandpa Mark wasn’t fond of noise, but when it was just him and Damon, he found it boring.Now, with so many young people around, it felt quite interesting.Later that evening, Damon knocked on Chrissy's door, holding a cup of warm milk. Chrissy had expected

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Annoying Assistant

    “I told you this isn’t the right way to do it. Sully told me we should wait for them to come to us.” Chrissy, although new to the job, had always handled communications with Sully, so even though she was a newcomer, she wasn’t afraid to argue with Carlos.However, Carlos was stubborn when it came to work. If something wasn’t right, he wouldn’t budge.Before coming here, Carlos had made it clear to Damon that if his opinions didn’t matter, he wouldn’t come.Damon had promised Carlos that once he came to Queen Corp, he would be in full charge of the company’s operations. This part was true—after arriving at Queen Corp, everyone there followed his lead, except for one unexpected complication—Chrissy.Chrissy had no experience in managing a company and constantly went against him.If Carlos told her not to do something, she would do it anyway, and when she made a mistake, she acted like she couldn’t care less.Carlos, usually a refined gentleman

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Disagreement

    For some reason, Hazel couldn’t shake the feeling that Harold wouldn’t harm her. Despite their two previous encounters, where she had ended up tied up both times, there was something almost magnetic about him.It was as if there were a kind of magic surrounding him—magic that made her feel safe.At least so far, every time she had met Harold, she had always returned unharmed.This car accident was the only exception, but the people behind it didn’t seem to want her dead. If they did, she definitely wouldn’t have woken up so quickly."No matter what you decide to do, make sure to think it through carefully. Let Damon investigate first," Mark advised.Hazel nodded and gave a small laugh. "Thinking back, it's actually quite amusing. The once mighty Damon now seems more like my assistant."Her words made Mark laugh as well. "Assistant’ is a rather flattering term. It’s more like he’s become a servant."Th

    Hazel's injuries from the car accident weren’t light. If an ordinary person had been in her place, they’d probably need ten to fifteen days of rest. But Hazel had the Shadow Vial X in her system, so she had recovered to a great extent in just one week."Didn’t expect the Shadow Vial X to be this powerful. No wonder so many people are trying to get their hands on it," Damon couldn’t help but comment, despite his vast experience.Achieving immortality seems impossible with the current state of science, but things like the Shadow Vial X, which can enhance the body's functions and push human limits, are precisely what draw so many to covet it."Though you're better now, it's best you don’t go out just yet," Elias calmly pointed out, and everyone agreed.No matter who caused the accident, it was most likely aimed at the Shadow Vial X. If news got out that Hazel was recovering so quickly, it would only make people even more f

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Who Is The Real Mastermind?

    HX’s headquarters was in D country, so it was perfectly normal for Xander to return there for work.However, Harold’s people must know that Xander was involved in this matter. It wouldn’t be easy to keep it from him entirely."We still need to be cautious. Harold is not as simple as we think," Damon said, his worry clear, though he didn’t have a better solution.Sully had been silent, her head lowered. She knew everything about the incident between Hazel and Harold from the very beginning.She always felt that Harold didn’t seem to have bad intentions toward Hazel. If he truly wanted to know if the Shadow Vial X was on Hazel, he wouldn’t have used such a reckless approach. After all, if something went wrong, Hazel could really lose her life.Harold only had Hazel as a lead; he wouldn’t so easily abandon this clue."Have you considered that what happened to Hazel this time might not have been done by Harold?" Sully suddenly spoke up.
