He’s My Ex-husband
Grace was lugged away by Yacob. While growling, she stared resentfully at Elias.
I suppose he loves Amanda the most. He’s even willing to fend off the sulfuric acid for her. If that’s not
love, I don’t know what is.
However, the more affection Elias showed for Amanda, the more resentful Grace felt.
Soon, Amanda was getting her wound treated in the hospital. Her injury was minor as only a few drops
of sulfuric acid came into contact with her sleeve and burned her arm.
While treating her wound, the nurse said, “How did the two of you get wounded by sulfuric acid? It’s
hard to get exposed to such a substance in daily life.”
“It’s a long story,” Amanda replied briefly as she wasn’t in the mood to explain anything.
She wondered how Elias was doing. His back was covered in blood. Is a large area of his back
wounded?
Seeing that the woman was unwilling to talk, the nurse stopped asking and focused on treating her
wound.
A moment later, another nurse entered the room and said, “The man whose back was wounded by
sulfuric acid is your husband, isn’t he? Although he’s injured, he’s very tough. When we were treating
his wound, he didn’t even flinch. He’s quite resilient.”
Amanda felt her chest tightening. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is his wound serious, miss? Will he be left
with scars on his back?”
After all, Elias’ back was covered in blood earlier, and it was hideous.
Why does fate keep playing tricks on me? Whenever I’m about to give up on him, I end up owing Elias
a favor I can never repay.
The nurse replied, “Well, it’s not that severe, but a large area of his back has been affected. He’ll only
be able to sleep on his stomach for an entire month, and he might even come down with a fever. As
such, we have to pay extra attention to his wound’s aftercare.”
With that, the nurse turned around and left.
The nurse treating Amanda’s wound said, “When you go home, you have to sterilize your husband’s.
wound. Also, don’t let it come into contact with water. Abstain from spicy food and sleep early. He’ll
recover in no time, and there won’t be any scars left. I’m sure the wound on his back will heal.
Amanda nodded. “Alright, thanks. I’ll pass on your advice to his family members. I’m not his wife, after
all. He’s my ex-husband.”
The nurse’s curiosity was aroused when she heard that.
“Is he your ex-husband? He still loves you very much, though. You’d better remarry him, then.” Since
the man was willing to ward off sulfuric acid for Amanda, the nurse felt it would be a shame if they
didn’t.
remarry.
Amanda said, “That’s not going to happen. He’s getting engaged to someone else.”
The nurse was rendered speechless and didn’t have the nerve to keep asking, thinking that their love
life was quite strange.
It was puzzling that a man who was about to get engaged would still fend off sulfuric acid for his ex-
wife.
After getting her wound treated, Amanda headed to Elias’ ward. He was supposed to stay in the
hospital for two days, and he might come down with a fever.
Amanda stood outside the door, hesitant to enter.
He’ll be fine since so many people will be taking care of him. Moreover, they’ll get private doctors to
help him recover. I won’t be of any help even if I stay here.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn’t convince herself to do so. After all, the man was
wounded because of her.
Just as she was hesitant to enter, Yacob, who had just returned from sending Grace to the police
station,
arrived.
When he saw how conflicted she was, hesitating between entering the ward and leaving, he said, Mr.
Winters got injured because he tried to save you. You’re not going to leave just like that, are you? At
the very least, you should pay him a visit.”
“Well… I don’t think he needs me to visit him, and he probably doesn’t want to see me.”
She still couldn’t get over the incident of Elias hurting her feelings in the garage the other day.
Since he had made his stance clear, it would be shameless of her if she continued pestering him.
She wanted to leave, but Yacob took her hand and said, “Let’s go in and see him. He’s in pain, but he’s
not willing to tell us about it. You’re the only one he can talk to. After all, you used to be his wife, and
you two have a child together.”
After a moment of silence, Amanda turned around and entered the ward.
Presently, Elias was lying on his stomach without a shirt on. His back was covered in ointment, which
looked hideous. It was no wonder his shirt was soaked in blood during the incident.
Just by looking at his wound, Amanda could feel the pain he was going through.
Elias seemed to be getting some rest, and his face was pale. When he heard the door opening, he
opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure. She was the woman he wanted to see the most.
Following a moment of silence, both of them spoke at the same time.
“How are you?”
“How are you?”
They were startled, not expecting to tacitly ask the same question.
Amanda said, “I’m fine as only several drops of the acid came into contact with my arm-I’ll recover in a
few days. Since your injury is more severe, you have to take good care of yourself.”
“I’m fine as well. I’m only required to sleep on my stomach for a few days. The man sounded calm as if
he was talking about some unimportant matter.
Amanda frowned. “The nurse told me your injury is quite serious, and you might come down with a
fever, so you’d better be cautious-”
The man interrupted her before she could finish her words. He said, “The nurse was only trying to
scare. you. It’s not that serious, and I’ll recover in a few days. If you’re busy, you can go back first.
Aiden needs you by his side when he sleeps.”
“Alright. The doctors and nurses will take care of you. If there’s anything you need, just let me She
caught herself before she finished speaking, for she realized what she was about to say was
unnecessary. Even if there was anything Elias needed, he was supposed to call Stephanie instead of
her.
She couldn’t help but put on a smile, mocking her wishful thinking.
“Just get more rest. I’ll take my leave now.” It was time for her to leave. If Stephanie arrived and
bumped into her, the situation would be awkward.
If she saw Elias defending Stephanic again, she would black out from exasperation. She wasn’t
jealous, though-she just felt that she was too foolish.
With that, she whirled around and left the ward.
When Elias saw her leave, he wanted to say something, but he realized that he no longer had any right
to make her stay. As such, he could only let her go.
After Amanda was gone, Yacob entered and lamented, “Miss Bailey is pretty heartless. You fended off
the sulfuric acid for her, but she only kept you company for five minutes.”
Without replying to him, Elias closed his eyes and got some rest.
He hadn’t had any proper sleep recently, so he decided to get some shut-eye. There were many things
he had to attend to the next day. Therefore, he couldn’t stay in the hospital.
When Yacob saw that the man was asleep, he stopped talking and took a look at the wound on his
back.
Mr. Winters is indeed no ordinary man…. How does he even endure the pain?
