Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 11: The Greenwoods' Wishful Thinking 

Gerard noticed Michelle's reaction and walked up to her.

"The patients that ly were brought in here today work for our company."

"Oh."

A look of understanding seemed to flash through her eyes.

Michelle Fi gave a slight nod and gestured towards the emergency room behind her.

"Some of them are already out of danger.However, there are a few people who are stil] in the ICU.Visiting time is already over."

Gerard nodded in silence.

His eyes fixed on her for a few seconds before he spoke up.

"If the media appears..."

She didn't need him to finish his sentence to understand what he was trying to tell her.

"T understand," she cut off.

"We have our rules in this hospital and I assure you that we won't allow them inside."

It was impossible for the media to ignore such a tragic accident.

There was no doubt that the news would reach them immediately.

However, the hospital staff had been busy rescuing patients all day long that they forgot to consider this.

"Those reporters will do everything they can just to get first-hand information.You..."

Gerard suddenly stopped talking.

His eves revealed a bit of hesitance to continue what he was about to say, making Michelle raise an eyebrow at him.

What he actually wanted to tell her was that she should be careful.

He mentally smacked himself, wondering what was wrong with him and why he had been saying things more than the necessary to his ex-wife.

Michelle waved her hand impatiently.

''Did you come here at this hour just to tell me this? There's nothing to worry about.If you haven't noticed, we have our own security guards here in the hospital.I'm pretty sure that they know how to keep things in order."

She was already exhausted from working the whole day that she had already lost her patience.

All she wanted to do at the moment was to eat and have a good sleep or else she might pass out at any second.

Gerard was slightly stunned.

Hearing Michelle snap at him was unexpected.

He pursed his lips and didn't bother saying anything else.

As soon as he was about to turn around and leave, someone called out his ex-wife's name.

"Michelle?"

With two food boxes specially prepared for them from the canteen, George walked towards Michelle.

He stared momentarily at the man in front of her and squinted his eyes.He looked so familiar to George, but he couldn't seem to remember where he had seen him.

"I'm leaving now."

Upon noticing the good-looking man who was walking towards them with food boxes, Gerard instantly realized that Michelle probably didn't have time to eat the whole day.

He didn't want to disturb her any longer, so he left immediately with his people.

The senior executives of the company behind Gerard gave each other confused looks.

When did Gerard become so patient? It was the first time that they had seen Gerard talk so much to a woman with matters not related to work.

What surprised them even more was that the woman seemed to be impatient with him.

Even Gerard himself looked confused.

He sat in the car in deep thought, trying to contemplate on his actions.He groaned internally.

Perhaps it had been a long time since he had touched a woman which was why even Michelle could attract him now.

It was the first time that he had talked so much to her.

The conversation between them today was longer than all their conversations during their marriage, which lasted for more than a year.

Back at the Greenwoods' mansion, the members of the family were all gathered in the living room.

Right in the middle sat an old man who was about seventy years of age.

He emitted an authoritative and intimidating aura that the people sitting next to him did not dare to say anything.

"Dad, I had been telling you from the start that Michelle wasn't the right person to marry to Gerald.Now, they're already divorced and I've only heard about this from other people.I'm pretty sure that all of this was her fault."

Dawn couldn't help but complain to her father.

She had always wanted her daughter Jolie to be the one to marry Gerard.

This wouldn't have happened if Jolie had been his bride.

"That's right.If Paula married him, Gerard would have definitely adored her.My Paula..."

The old man slammed his palm on the arm rest before they could continue what they were saying.

"Enough!" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Clay Greenwoods glared at the two women.

"Are you two really stupid? Didn't you realize what Gerard's real intention was?"

The old man finally realized that he had been blinded by his own selfish interests at that time.He was surprised that Gerard would have taken advantage of this.He was after all, also known as a shrewd man in the political field.He didn't expect for him to be defeated by such a bloke.

It was unfortunate that he was getting so old that he had to retire.

If the younger men in the family hadn't been so incompetent and useless, he wouldn't have thought of considering the Roberts' proposal in the first place.
