Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-wife's Marriage Revenge : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

142At the hospital,Lila was sitting like a statue on a bench outside the Operation Theater. Her clothes were stained from Kyle's blood, her face devoid of color and her heart barely beating.When Kyle had collapsed, the bunch of goons ran away. Someone shouted at the one who stabbed Kyle and they took off, leaving Lila alone with a bleeding Kyle. She screamed at them to help but no one looked back at her, afraid of the consequences.Lila had no choice but to run out of the warehouse to seek Falcon's help. She was certain he was out there. Kyle and Falcon were like Harry and Ron. Both always together, doing the illegal stuff quietly but with each other always.Falcon was stunned to see her and the blood made his eyes go wide. He carried Kyle to the car and drove him to hospital three hours ago.Right now they both were waiting with bated breaths. The doctors said Kyle had a lot of blood loss. Luckily his blood group was available in the blood bank and they were performing the surgery

144 Fiona bit her lip as she stood in a corner in the elevator, thinking back about Jasmine's gasping on the phone call. She was berating herself for making the call. Not that she had to guess, but she was certain Jasmine must be on her way to the hospital to meet Kyle. Although it freaked her out, she had to let Kyle know. Because according to Kyle's plans, Jasmine was not supposed to leave the house at all. Not until her husband was made to sign the divorce and other papers. She was still bound to him and he didn't want her to fall in his hands by any chance.  Fiona came to the floor where Kyle was kept. As anticipated, the entire floor was booked for him. Guards stood in line around the corridor, and two stations outside his ward. She wasn't being allowed to meet Kyle. Only his doctors and approved nurses were let in, the guards said. But after proving her friendship with Kyle Fiona advanced

146Kyle pressed his lips together guiltily. He was about to say something when Lila remarked, "But you were married, weren't you? What happened to your husband? As far as I recall, he was a total àss. When did he agree to free you from his cage?" Jasmine's face turned yellow. She had no reply. "Her real name is Jasmine, Lila." Kyle stepped in. "And her husband is not a problem. She's single to marry me.""Jasmine? Nice name. Jessica wasn't any bad but I can understand. You were in a stranger's house and you gave the wrong name. I hope your story wasn't fabricated as well." Lila joked but Kyle and Falcon caught the jab it was meant to give. "Haha, I hope it's not. Lila, Kyle wanted you to meet the doctor. I'll take you to one." Falcon put an arm around Lila's shoulders. "Doctor? But I'm fine. It's him who got stabbed.""But it's you who spent a night in a dark warehouse with goons all around. Kyle wants you to see a therapist. Come on." Falcon didn't let her argue with him and drag

148 "I hope I am not late." Falcon piped up as he rushed into the kitchen. "Sorry. The traffic was unbelievably bad. I had to leave my car and come here walking."  "You're just in time, Falcon. We'll eat first." Kyle said.  "I suggest you guys sign the deal first before something else jinxes your collaboration." Falcon said animatedly. "Every time you fix a date, something happens. Let's not wait for something like that to occur. Please sign the papers first." "He's actually right, Kyle. We've had more delays than I can count on my fingers." Vince grinned.  "Okay then." Kyle nodded at Falcon as he fetched the papers from the folder he was holding. On the other hand, he eyed Jojo. The papers were placed on the counter. Falcon handed a pen to Vince. "You first, Mr. Garrison. I would really hate it if something comes this time

150Jasmine stepped into the house with her heart banging in her chest. She directly went up to Kyle's room to find it empty."Kyle?" She called out to him but there was no reply."We just chatted and he said he's home. Where is he? Kyle?"When Jasmine couldn't find him, she came to Jojo's room."So? How did it go?" Jasmine asked with her heart continuing to pick up speed.Vince came home to meet Kyle today to sign the business agreement and the divorce papers and her coffee shop ownership papers along with it. Kyle had assured her that she'll get good news when she comes back. But now there was no sign of him, though he asked about her shopping and told her that his house was safe for her to come back, that her husband had left."What, Jasmine?" Jojo's query made her mouth dry."M-my husband came today, didn't he? Did Kyle manage to get him to sign the—""Oh, Jasmine, trust me I am not the right person to answer.""Why are you saying that, Jojo? Did it not go well?""Jasmine," Jojo w
