All Chapters of Ex-Wife on Top, CEO on His Knees: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Cami, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to transfer to Orivane Hospital?"Joe Meyer, the hospital director of Centrum Hospital, stared at Camille Stowell in disbelief, the transfer request clutched in his hands.Her lashes flickered, and a thin, bitter smile curved her lips. "Yes, I've already decided."Realizing there was no turning her, Joe sighed before scrawling his signature on the request form.Camille had just left the director's office when she stumbled upon Julian Hatcher, Kimberly Walsh in her crisp white coat, and her son, Xavier Walsh.She stopped cold.Hand in hand, they could have passed for the very image of a perfect family. Kimberly held Xavier on one side, while Xavier's other hand was held by Julian. Xavier beamed with a joy that lit his whole face.The sight struck Camille with a pain so fierce it nearly blinded her.Julian's patience and tenderness toward Kimberly and Xavier were things Camille had never tasted. All she had ever f

Julian hadn't seen the mention of divorce coming. His face darkened with each passing second."I won't agree to a divorce," he said.Camille stiffened. Could the reason he was refusing the divorce be…Then he added, "Grandma wouldn't agree either."The sound of the door closing came right after.Camille stood frozen, a suffocating weight pressing on her chest. The idea that had briefly crossed her mind just now seemed laughably absurd.How could he be refusing the divorce for her sake? What truly held him back was fear of Anita's disapproval. He had no clue she'd already agreed.They parted on bitter terms that night and went to bed in separate rooms.…The next morning, once the maid, Viola Dorsey, had arrived, Julian slipped out. Camille ate breakfast alone, as if nothing had happened.Once she'd finished tidying the rooms, Viola stepped out and asked, "Mrs. Hatcher, why are so many things missing from the house?"Camille paused. Even Viola had noticed how much was missing

Julian's expression tightened. He was about to let go of Kimberly when she clutched his arm."I still don't feel well, Julian. Will you come with me to get my medicine?"He frowned, tearing his eyes from the place where Camille had just vanished, and let out a faint, detached hum. Then he walked Kimberly to the medication room.Once there, she retrieved her medicine. When she turned back to Julian, she found his attention elsewhere. Smiling, she stepped closer."Julian, Xav wants to go to a private kindergarten, but he doesn't have the residency papers. Do you think we could get joint custody of him?"Fearing a flat refusal, Kimberly rushed to add, "Don't worry. It would only be temporary. No one would ever know."Julian's eyes locked on hers, sharp and unyielding.Kimberly didn't dare look away. She clenched her fists quietly. "Julian… are you upset?""Joint custody wouldn't be right. But my mother could take him in as her stepson," he said evenly.Kimberly froze.The Hatche

Camille went to the hospital to check on Michael. When Dianne realized that Camille was his surgeon, a wave of gratitude hit her so hard she nearly sank to her knees.The medical staff accompanying Camille caught her just in time and helped her back to her feet."Please, don't. Saving lives is our duty," Camille said."If it weren't for you, Michael wouldn't have made it. You gave him a chance. I can never thank you enough."Dianne was well into her years. She wept uncontrollably, not from grief, but from the overwhelming relief that Michael had survived.Camille and the others were medical professionals who'd stared death in the face more times than they could count. There was nothing more gratifying than saving a life.Michael was out of danger after the surgery. Considering everything, the fact that he suffered no serious complications was as lucky as he could've gotten.Camille took Dianne's arm to steady her, murmured a few comforting words, and reminded her of a few things

Apologize?A sardonic laugh slipped from Camille's lips. Her fingers clenched the divorce agreement she had drafted, knuckles whitening.She forced her voice into a calm tone. "Will you be home tonight?""Julian, whose call is that?"Through the phone, Kimberly's sweet, high-pitched voice rang out, clear and unmistakable."It's a work call," Julian said casually, ignoring the fact that the line was still open. "What time do you get off? I can give you a ride to pick up Xav."Kimberly's laughter bubbled up, even more delighted than before. "I'm free. I get off at 6:00 pm."By the time Camille came to her senses, Julian had already hung up. Her eyes fell on the divorce agreement she'd signed, and a bitter shadow darkened her face.She'd meant to ask him to come home and sign it in person, but he hadn't even spared her a moment's attention.How laughable. She should never have taken his promises seriously.…Julian drove Kimberly to pick up Xavier from kindergarten.Xavier tra
