Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY EX-HUSBAND’S REMORSE: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

YSABELLE Faint waves of laughter, clattering on the ceramic, and warm fingers wrapped around my cold hand made me come back to the real world. I slowly opened my eyes, and the light coming from the window made me wince and groan. “Mommy?” That was Ashley’s voice.As I fully open my eyes, I first see my daughter's ocean-blue eyes welled up in tears. Next to her is Ashton, wearing the same emotions through his eyes. They seemed delighted, but at the same time, scared that I had just woken up.Ashton and Ashley immediately went up to me, wrapping their arms around me as if they were gone for a year. My heart felt warm as I finally had them in my arms.I groaned as I tried to sit up on the bed. I was in an enormous unfamiliar room, but I could smell the scent of antiseptic everywhere. It feels like I'm in the hospital but in a luxurious room.That's when I noticed my father at the bottom of the bed, standing still while gazing at me. Why do they seem worried? What happened– Oh! My head

YSABELLE As soon as I entered the room, I sprinted just to see Ronan when I heard he was awake. His alluring smile was the first thing I saw when my eyes landed on his. He was not sitting on the bed, with Ashton and Ashley eating fruits in front of him.“Ronan…” I called as my eyes became watery.“Hey… gorgeous.” He faintly said.My heart leaped as he called me, running to him with tears escaping from my eyes. My arms were tightly wrapped around him as I heard his faint and soft chuckle.Thank God, he's awake!“Did I worry you?” I nodded as I buried my face on his neck, careful not to touch the wound on his chest.“I'm sorry for sleeping for so long.” I shook my head because he should not say sorry for getting a rest. “Why are you not saying anything?”“I miss your voice,” I whispered. “Then, talk to me.” He whined.I immediately distanced myself away from him. The frown was now all over my face.“Why did you come there? You should have been looking for Jacob. Look what happened

YSABELLE Caressing Jacob's hair as he was sleeping on my lap, I felt relief that Ronan’s mind would be at peace. He's only worried about Jacob's safety, not about Candice lying to him for years. Not blood-related could be a family, too. After he devoured the food I bought, he fell asleep beside me. He looked so innocent while sleeping. I now felt sorry for what happened to his mother. To be honest, a kid needs a mother, whatever it takes. I felt him move a bit as his eyes slowly opened. “Are you awake?” His eyes meet mine. He nodded and went back to stare at the blank space. I then noticed a necklace that had a half-moon pendant, which seemed familiar to me. “What’s that?” He immediately hid the necklace, afraid that I might steal it. “That looks so cool,” I commented. “Who gave it to you? I will buy some for Ashton and Ashley.” “A man gave it to me.” A smile crept into my lips as I realized that whenever I mentioned the twins, he became like a puppy. “That man earlier

YSABELLE With big strides, I entered the hospital where my father was rushed after his driver picked up my call earlier. He said someone rained bullets at his bulletproof car and crashed at the lamp post causing him to have an injury.As soon as I saw his VIP room, I sprinted inside with a pounding heart. I'm hoping he was okay.I saw him frowning on the bed with his secretary and personal assistant. His face cannot be painted by anyone.“What the hell happened? Are you alright?”“Someone tried to kill me.” He growled.With a sigh, I sat on the couch. “That's not new–”“Was it Volkov?”My brows furrowed as I stopped. I immediately stood up and stared at him in disbelief.“Are you out of your mind?”“Only he can do this!” His nostrils flared, indicating he reached his limit.My hand curled into a fist as I held back my anger to erupt.“Seriously? Accusing him after saying you trust him? What's up with you?”I harshly took my bag and was about to leave his room. I only came here becaus

YSABELLE I came out from the bathroom, feeling fresh and lightheaded but as soon as I saw Ronan's smiling face, my mood changed in a second.His words last night with the person in another line made me curious and I couldn't sleep properly the whole night.Who could it be? I'm afraid to ask him. He might say I'm invading his privacy which is the truth.He was about to give me a morning kiss, but I walked away from him. I heard him heavily sigh behind me.I put on my clothes in front of him. It didn't matter if his seductive eyes lingered around my naked body.Through the mirror in front of me, I saw him leaning at the door with crossed arms, staring at me intently. I noticed his casual clothes as if he were planning to go somewhere. Is he going to meet the person who called him last night?“Are you going somewhere?” I asked as I put on my shirt.“Yeah… you?My hand tightened at the hem of my shirt. “Nope. I will be at home the whole day.”“I will be having lunch outside.”With an ex
