All Chapters of His Ex-wife Returned... Powerful!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I stayed with Leo a moment longer, before leaving his place to the drug store where I bought and took the pills, then drove to Rachel's house.The entire ride, I figured I felt worse than I had before coming to his place.My chest was so tightened that it started to hurt.A different kind of guilt washed over me, and the worst part was that I didn't even know why.I didn't know if it was because I'd told Leo I loved him even though I clearly didn't. Or something else.“Lisa!” Rachel was the one who opened the door, and she surprised me by throwing me in a hug.“Uh… what's wrong?” I asked, brows raised.The smile she offered only succeeded in confusing me further.She wasn't mad at me anymore?I walked in, and she followed beside.“So, a little birdie told me someone finally said the words. The real words!” She beamed as she spoke, and my brows furrowed in response. “You talked to Leo?” So soon? It hadn't even been up to an hour and they'd already gossiped about it?I had to hold back

– Lisa Red –I sucked in a breath, frustrated hand dragging through my hair while my heart slammed hard.This was just bullshit.Total bullshit!“Have you lost it?” I growled, feeling a headache grow, because tell me what the fucking hell actually just happened. Leo really dropped on one knee and asked the question.THE question.“You were going to say yes?” Drex asked, staring at me like I'd just stabbed him. “Lisa, how…? Why on earth would you do that?”My teeth gritted.Obviously I wasn't going to say yes, but he didn't know that, and for the fact he just thought he could decide any shit for me only added to my already frustrated self.An ache dragged up my chest as the sight of Leo on one knee replayed in my head. It left me feeling irritated. At him.At myself.So I decided to direct my anger at Drex, because dang it, all of this was somehow his fault one way or another.If he hadn't kissed me, then I'd not have any reason to tell Leo I loved him.Now he just had to worsen thin

“Drex!” I growled, dropping on my knees beside him. “Oh my goodness! Drex!”No.No No.My head felt foggy. This wasn't real. This had to be a dream.It had to be a dream.His teeth gritted, skin losing all color. Drex moved a hand to his side where the blood gushed out.“R-Run Li-Lisa.” He groaned out.“No.” I shook my head, lifting trembling fingers till I placed his head on my lap. “I'm not leaving you. I can't leave you.” I spoke through sobs. “Drex, keep your eyes open.”Tears ran down my cheeks, heart slamming hard against my ribs.At that moment, I did not care about the guy in black.I did not think about anything else.Drex, and the blood leaving his skin, was all that mattered.Especially when he started to look like he was struggling to stay conscious.“Don't! Don't shut your eyes on me, Drex!” I begged. “Help! Somebody!”The man in black muttered cuss words under his breath. He pointed his gun at me like he was going to shoot, but at that moment, a crowd was starting to ga

“Her??” Cassie growled. “No, I'm his girlfriend. Are you sure he didn't say ‘Cassie’? Check again. Ask again to confirm.”“I'm sorry, ma'am, but he practically begged us to get Miss Lisa here, not Cassie.”My cheeks felt warm on their own.Drex just woke up from a life threatening situation, and the first person he wanted to see was me?I felt my fingers curl at my side as my heart started to melt, and without a second thought, I was walking towards the ward.“Wait, don't tell me you're actually going in?” Cassie stepped in front of me. “Don't you have any shame?”My lips pressed. “This guy saved my life, now if you don't get the hell out, then I might just have to make you.”Her nose flared.I'd seen Cassie angry all my life, but this was clearly the most furious she'd ever been.“You really are a bitch, aren't you?”I rolled my eyes, and brushed past her, ignoring her screams of how unfair this was, as I walked into the room, closing the door softly behind me and muffling her noise,

– Lisa Red –Drex was asleep, and after checking for like the billionth time that his chest was still moving, I decided to get some fresh air.Maybe finally give the day's activity a good thinking.What I didn't expect when I stepped out of the room was Richard sitting on the waiting chair, face buried in his palm.“Uh, you okay?” He raised his head so I noticed his flushed cheeks. “Hmm? Oh, Lisa. Hi.”“What're you doing here by yourself? And where's Rachel?”“She left already.”“Really? I thought you two came here together.”“Yeah… she just had to be somewhere.” It was clear from his tone that he didn't want to talk about it, and that only confused me, but I changed the topic.“You all must've been worried. Sorry I put you through that much.”His hands slipped into his pocket. “It's alright. As long as you're alive and fine, then there's no problem.”There was a worried crease between his brows.“You sure everything's okay?”“Yes.” He offered a smile that didn't reach his eyes. “I s
