Semua Bab My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball: Bab 1691 - Bab 1700

“No! You’ve misunderstood!”Chloe quickly explained herself.Mary smiled wryly as she looked at Chloe. “If it were not for that, why would Xander hand in the antidote? It’s okay. I don’t blame you for it. If this is the only way to rescue Rosie, we have no choice. It’s just that I feel sorry for her.”Her best friend was poisoned and suffered the pain, yet when she regained consciousness, she had to bear losing the man she loved.Chloe looked at Mary’s sad face and anxiously wanted to explain. However, she did not know if she should tell Mary the truth. She could only look at Byron, wanting his permission to speak.Byron, on the other hand, explained on her behalf.“This is only a trick we used to deceive Xander. Everything is fake. This lady here is Chloe Lincoln, my childhood friend. She has been abroad, managing her family’s business. She only returned to the country recently. I asked her help to put on a show.”Chloe nodded.Mary was a little taken aback upon hearing this.

Byron did not continue after saying something weird like that. He diverted the topic and asked about her condition instead.“How do you feel? Are you feeling well?”He soon realized he had forgotten to call the doctor and looked at Mary. “Please help me get a doctor.”Mary nodded and took Chloe with her when she left.Rosalie’s vision was blocked by Byron’s body. Moreover, Chloe had been standing in Rosalie’s blind spot, afraid her presence might agitate Rosalie.That was why Rosalie did not notice the fourth person in the ward.Only when Mary walked out with Chloe did she notice that lady.“Who is that lady?” Rosalie looked at Byron in a puzzle.She did not think much and thought that lady was Mary’s friend.Byron remained silent for a few seconds before being frank. “She’s my friend.”Rosalie was startled upon hearing that. “I’ve never met her before, have I?”Whether it was six years ago or now, she only knew the Quirke family’s siblings as Byron’s only friends.As for t

Rosalie would never doubt Byron’s talent in business.She felt relieved upon hearing him say it was alright.As for the company's loss, she was confident Byron could earn back the profits in future business cooperations.Then, the conversation reminded her of Chloe, whom she had met just now. “So, Miss Lincoln is the wife you married?”Rosalie was a little sad when she mentioned this. Although it was to save her, thinking of Byron marrying another woman was enough to make her devastated. Even her hands were retreating, trying to keep a distance from Byron.Noticing her reaction, Byron was displeased, and his grip on her hands tightened. “Why do you refuse to trust me?”She did not trust him about Chloe.She even kept Lucian and Nox’s identities a secret!Rosalie sensed the anger surging in Byron. Startled, Rosalie was in a daze for a moment, but soon her hope rose.What Byron meant was there was something else behind this.However, he had gotten the antidote to cure her. Wh

After having the meal, Chloe decided not to stay there any longer and excused herself.“I should go back. If I don’t, my parents will be suspicious.”Byron nodded. “Let me know if you face any problems with your parents about this matter. I’ll deal with it.”Chloe smiled and said, “Okay, I will.”Byron looked at the time and remembered that they had stayed back all night. Thus, he stopped Chloe from leaving and said, “Wait! I’ll ask my assistant to drive you back.”Then, he looked at Mary. “Why don’t you go back and have some rest? You have not rested well these few days taking care of Rosie. It’ll be fine with me around since Rosie is awake now.”Mary did not reject it. “I’ll leave Rosie to you, then.”Recalling the atmosphere in the ward, she added, “Rosie has just recovered. Don’t quarrel with her. You can talk about it after she gets discharged.”Byron nodded and dialed Luther’s number, asking him to pick the ladies up.After a while, Luther arrived and came to escort the

Rosalie felt puzzled upon getting no response from them. She even wanted to go out and take a look.Everyone noticed her movement and snapped out of their thoughts. They quickly entered the ward.“Mrs. Lawrence, what’s the matter?”Rosalie sat back on the bed. “Has Byron left?”The experts nodded hesitantly as they looked at her doubtfully.Rosalie smiled. “I asked him to get me some fruit. Maybe it’ll take a while for him to return. I have something I want to talk to you about.”The experts let out a relieved sigh and nodded.“I’m sure you have examined my recovery condition.”Rosalie spoke seriously, “The antidote had indeed shown its effect, but it has only temporarily reduced the effects of the poison. It can’t cure me. If we let it be, the poison’s effects might bounce back.”In other words, the antidote Xander gave them was only part of the antidote.It was just like when he poisoned her.The antidote Xander gave had to be taken a few times. However, he had only given
