Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Docile Ex-wife Strikes Back : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 17

Ashley anxiously approached Mr Manchester's bedroom, she wondered what he wanted to talk to her about. Today was her first day at the hospital, she knew he'd obviously want to hear the gist about how her day went and how she managed to cope with the new environment.Her relationship with her grandfather was the best amongst all of his other grandchildren. Ashley was glad about that, she really wanted to do things to win his heart and let him love her the most. Not because of the inheritance, but because she wanted to secure a space in the family.She was treated as if she didn't belong there, her step siblings didn't even like her. If not for Lily, she wouldn't have felt welcomed into the family. Ashley tried not to think about it that much, she decided to focus on her work and making grandpa proud of her.Ashley knocked on the door and shortly, she got a response to come in. She did, and to her greatest surprise, Mr Manchester was laying on his bed looking very pale. Just earlier tha

From the looks on the doctor's face, Mr Manchester seemed to have been improving in his health. “Grandpa, how do you feel?” Alexander asked, although he wasn't expecting Mr Manchester to respond because of how weak he looked but the old man did reply to him.“Alex, child. I'm fine..” he said, Cassandra moved closer to him and held his hands tight. She put on a sympathetic look on her face and said. “Grandpa, please recover soon. We miss you at the company” she said to him.Mr Manchester smiled a bit. “The hospital and our company have been left in your hands. I expect you all to join forces together and work on it” he said.It wasn't what Cassandra was aimi

If there was anything Alex considered himself to be, it wasn’t being a dumbass like his sister Cassandra. He kept staring at the numerous reports that’s been filed against her annoymously. Most of which were about verbal abuse. If a thing like this ever got to get out from the hospital to the ears of their grandfather or even the press, their grandfather wouldn’t think twice in kicking her out of the will.Why couldn’t she understand that?She was lucky he was the one handling this report and not Ashley. “Please be quick Alex. I don’t have all day,” Cassandra said shabbily as she walked into his ofifce.He tried his best not to lose his cool as he threw the numerous files of complaint at her.“Here. Read them,” he gritted out.“What’s this?” Cassandra asked, looking through them.“They’ve been numerous complain about you Cassandra. What the hell is your problem? It’s like you’re working overtime to make sure that Ashley girl gets everything. Is that what you want?” He growled out at

Ashley twirled on her chair as she went through a recovering patient’s file. She was pleased with herself at how fast the patient was recovering from surgery.It was one of the things she loved about herself, the fact that each and everyone of her patients always recovered healthily.She was distracted at the sudden intrusion caused by Chase as he stood in front of her, two cups of coffee in hand and a broad smile across his face.“Scalding expresso for the lady and creamy with ice for me,” he said, placing Ashley’s coffee on the table for her.Ashley made a face of disgust as Chase revealed he was drinking cold coffee!“Surely there should be some sort of punishment for drinking something as awful as that,” she retorted, taking her hot coffee and having a sip.Ashley hummed in satisfaction as it tasted exactly how she liked her coffee.“You’re welcome,” Chase said smugly with a smirk on his face.“Okay? What are you still doing here?” Ashley questioned.“Having a conversation with a
