Lahat ng Kabanata ng After Prison, I Became the Woman He Could Never Have: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

The glass railing wasn't very high. A single pane was all that separated the two rooms' balconies.She climbed over it with ease.She bent to pick up the hair tie from the floor, and her head spun harder, drowsiness creeping in.The room next door had always been empty.To this day, Sera still didn't know whose room it was.Her head was splitting.She stopped caring about anything else. She staggered to the big bed in the room and collapsed onto it.Just then, a phone rang outside the door.Then came Julian's deep voice. "Vivienne, were you looking for me?"She couldn't hear what the woman on the other end said.After a few gentle words of comfort, Julian said softly, "Wait for me there. I'll be right over."Sera heard him hurry away.Soon an engine started downstairs.She had no interest in him anymore. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.Half an hour later.As Damian was about to return to his room, he ran into Julian's mother, Eleanor, in the corridor."Damian, you're b

She still owed him an explanation for last night.She decided to use the ride to set things straight and head off any misunderstanding.She nodded without hesitation. "Thank you, Mr. Blackwood.""Mm."He glanced at her indifferently and strode toward the door.Damian hadn't brought his driver the night before, so he would be driving himself to the office.Sera reached for the back door of the car, and just as she opened it, a deep voice came from the driver's seat. "Sit in front."Her palm stilled on the handle.She looked up in disbelief at his handsome profile.There was nothing on his face but indifference.Sera finally closed the back door, climbed into the passenger seat, and sat down.The car rolled slowly down the winding hillside road.Sera watched the scenery outside the window, her hands, folded in her lap, suddenly tightening.Then she gritted her teeth and blurted it out. "Mr. Blackwood, last night my hair tie fell onto your balcony. I only climbed over to pick it up, but

Faced with Damian's question, Marcus shut his mouth at once."Have someone help us find her. The old man's condition isn't good. We need to stabilize him as soon as possible. If all else fails, we find a skilled acupuncturist to clear his meridians."Damian's voice was low as he turned his gaze to the window.The moonlight was exceptionally beautiful tonight, but his mood was foul."Yes, Mr. Blackwood. I'll have someone handle it right away..."After a moment, Damian spoke again. "After the old man collapsed, did Julian and that woman come to the hospital?"That woman.It took Marcus a moment to catch on."Julian brought Vivienne to see the old man, but they didn't see Ms. Hale..." Marcus paused, then went on. "Julian may not have told Ms. Hale that the old man was in the hospital."Damian said nothing.It seems Sera's decision to divorce him was a wise one.The next morning.After Annie sent Sera the room number, Sera packed the acupuncture kit she needed and took a cab straight to t

Julian's voice was loud enough for everyone in the corridor to hear.Sera easily caught the resentment in the doctor's eyes, even though he had said what he said.Having said it, he could no longer insist."In that case, I'll wait ten more minutes and see!"The doctor's earlier hesitation had hardened into grim determination.Sera curled her lips into a cold smile.One saying was absolutely true. In front of money and power, everything else counted for nothing.She stepped aside, looking down at her phone and counting the time.Eight minutes left.Almost there.Partway through, Damian went to take a phone call, and Sera's gaze followed his departing back the whole time.Suddenly she realized something. Her encounters with this man seemed to be happening more and more often...She had no idea that Julian, sitting along the corridor, had been watching her the whole time.He knew exactly who she had been looking at.His hand, resting on his knee, clenched tight.He was about to stand whe

Sera realized then that the clinic belonged to Yvonne's father."I heard you just got out of prison and you're already screaming for a divorce from Julian. Now that you have nowhere to go, you're opening a clinic to support yourself with your lousy, third-rate medical skills?" Yvonne sneered. "With hands as clumsy as yours, aren't you afraid of killing someone?"Her voice was soft, but every word was sharp as an arrow aimed straight at the heart.In the past, it would have stung. Now Sera was completely unfazed."How good my skills are is none of your business. I never really liked this place anyway. Since it belongs to you, forget it." Sera turned to leave. "Rent it to someone else."Even if she couldn't find a better space, she would never lease a property from a friend of Vivienne's.It wasn't that she feared trouble. She simply didn't want unnecessary complications.Most of all, it made her uncomfortable..."You've already put down a deposit. You can't just cancel."Yvonne stepped
