Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After answering Eric’s call, Dexie said with a smile, “Eric, we’ll be back soon.”
On the other end of the phone, Eric’s voice was anxious as he said, “Dexie, go to the hospital, Dad is sick.”
Dexie’s expression changed, and she asked, “What’s wrong with Dad?”
Eric’s tone was very concerned as he said, “He suddenly felt unwell. Let’s meet at the hospital.” Saying nothing more, he hung up the phone.
Dexie nodded hurriedly and said, “I see. Eric, I’ll go quickly.”
Seeing Dexie so worried, Luke couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”
Dexie was anxious as she said, “My dad has gone to the hospital. I’m going. Luke, take care of Danny.” She thought, he was fine here yesterday, but how come suddenly.
Luke said, “I’ll go with yo

Luke was surprised, but he smiled and held her hand with a longing expression.“It’s just a business trip, so how can I be in danger?”Dexie sighed in relief and said, “That’s fine; you should be careful. Why didn’t you bring Gavin? He’s used to being by your side. If I’m careful, nothing will happen to me.” Aside from that, there are so many guards in the house.Luke shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I have my own precautions in place so that no one can harm me. But you...”He sighed and said, “Don’t worry, just accept this arrangement, or else I won’t feel comfortable if you’re at home.”Dexie nodded helplessly and said, “Okay.”Luke looked at her with affectionate eyes. Luke’s kind behavior towards Dexie made her feel a little shy. Once they announced their relations

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Dexie said.Tara didn’t understand, so she laughed and casually said, “Your blood type differs from ours. No wonder you’re much prettier than Eric.”“Eh?” Tara’s blunt comment stunned Dexie. She only came back to reality a while later.“What is your blood type and Dad’s?” She had a terrible feeling in her heart. Thinking about Eric’s expression at that moment, she still felt that something was wrong.“I am type O, your father is type B, and your brother is the same as me.” Tara didn’t realize how shocking her words were to Dexie. She didn’t understand and thought that everyone’s blood type was different. With that said, she turned around and went to the bathroom.But Dexie, extremely surprised, remained motionless.What is happening? Tara didn’t understa

I was genuinely unaware of the circumstances that led her to undergo these experiences. They used to be her closest relatives, but now things have turned out this way. Dexie couldn’t help but sigh. She told Jocelyn, “Mom, it’s none of your business. Just do what we agreed on before. Don’t overwork yourself and take care of your health.”Jocelyn nodded and said, “I see. Once Dexie leaves the hospital, he should return home.” Dexie nodded."They parted ways, and Dexie returned to the Huxley family’s house. Gavin drove her home, and then she cooked for Danny. At the hospital, Danny shared a small meal with them, but his intake was limited. She made chicken noodle soup with some vegetables for Danny, and she also planned to make fettuccine. Before she could start, she heard Ava’s voice asking behind her, “Dexie, are you going to let Danny eat this?”Ava seem
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 274: Opening the Box
Danny had always worn a small pendant around his neck, strung on a beautifully woven red rope. It looked normal on the surface, but ever since Dexie first met Danny, he had been wearing that pendant. She had paid little attention to it before, but now that she thinks about it.When Dexie thought of this possibility, her expression turned solemn. As she held the box lock in her hand, she fell into deep thought. If that box was so important, and if it really was evidence proving Luke’s guilt, then Danny’s mother must have fined it. She wouldn’t put the key in a visible place.Therefore, if Danny’s mother left the pendant he wore around his neck as a relic, it wouldn’t raise suspicions.This theory made sense because for so long, not even she had suspected that the pendant on Danny’s neck was something important. Who could have imagined placing such a significant item on such a young child?
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 275: Relics in the Box
Treat Danny well. He is innocent in all of this. Everything that happened was my fault. How could I accept your gifts if I feel nothing for you? I really thought that the things you casually gave me only looked shiny and beautiful on the surface, but were completely useless, as you said. But thinking about it now.You are the son of the Huxley family, so even the things you casually give away are probably worth millions. How could they be useless? Perhaps it was my carelessness that led to so many misunderstandings. Everything that happened was my fault. Therefore, no matter what you do to me, I don’t blame you. Ultimately, Luke, your actions towards me may have been predestined. I just want you and your brother to have a positive relationship and be positive to your father. I also hope I never see this letter.From, Serena.Serena?Dexie wondered if Danny’s mother’s name was Serena.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 276: The Heart of the Ocean
Once upon a time, a beautiful mermaid lived in the sea. She was pure of heart, innocent, and beautiful. When she was bored, she would lie on the reef and watch the passing ships. One day, a young man sitting at the bow of a ship noticed her. The two fell in love at first sight.However, how could a mermaid fall in love with a human?The man had to marry someone else because they were star-crossed lovers. From then on, the mermaid lay on the reef every day. As she watched the crowd come and go, she waited for her beloved.She lay on the rock, waiting and waiting, longing for him day and night, but he did not come. She shed a single tear every day. On the reef, the tears gradually accumulated.In the end, the mermaid was almost out of tears. When she shed her last tear, she disappeared, and on the reef, there was a sapphire in the shape of a water droplet. The sapphire was like the mermaid’s tears. It was tran
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 277: Sweet Chat with Luke
There was a gigantic bouquet of red roses. The packaging was exquisite and extravagant. This was the first time Dexie had received flowers.Confused, Dexie tentatively asked, “Gavin?”“Mrs. Huxley,” Gavin struggled to move the flowers aside to show his face, then said, “These are the flowers Mr. Huxley sent you to express how much he missed you.” With that said, he handed the flowers back to Dexie, then chuckled, scratched his head, pulled out a box from his pocket, and handed it to Dexie, saying, “There’s also a gift. You can open it yourself.”“Dexie frowned, but before she could respond, Gavin had already placed the small box on top of the roses and said, “I’ll leave now.” Before Dexie could come to her senses, Gavin turned around and left. As he turned, he muttered, “Anna really did a fantastic jo

Not only were her eyes swollen, but so was her face. She regretted crying so hard last night. She put a warm towel on her face, and the swelling decreased a bit, but her eyes remained swollen as before. They even felt sore and achy. Dexie sighed in frustration. After completing her skincare routine, she put on a pair of sunglasses, went to Danny’s room, and told Amelia to make some lasagna.Then, in a hoarse voice, she told Danny that she had a cold, so he should play and eat alone. Danny looked at her worriedly and said, “Mommy, are you okay? You’re wearing sunglasses.”Dexie shook her head and said, “I’m fine, so don’t worry. I didn’t sleep well last night, so my eyes are a bit swollen. I’ll go rest now and cook some delicious food for you tonight.”Danny quickly and politely said, “Okay, mommy, don’t worry about me. Rest.” Dexie nodded and said,

Gavin replied, “Yes.”He felt a little confused. Outside of family gatherings, the most frequent visitors to the Huxley family were the company executives. Luke never needed to give specific instructions. However, today he gave specific instructions. Who was the guest?However, Gavin only thought about it to himself and didn’t dare say it out loud.Dexie looked at Luke with a smile on her face and said, “Can we go downstairs for breakfast now?”Luke looked at her with a bitter expression on his face as he said, “I’m in a hurry to go to the office.”“Aren’t you going to eat?” Dexie froze for a moment and inquired.Luke nodded and said, “I still have something to do in the office.”“But... I got up really early and was busy all morning,” Dexie said, raising her head in a somewhat aggrieved manner and giving Luke a pitying look. Are you truly planning to skip breakfast?Luke stopped and said, “You and Danny should eat.”When she saw him like that, Dexie knew what was on his mind. She sai

When Dexie woke up, her body ached. A nurse removed the needle from her hand and, when she opened her eyes, she asked in surprise, “Miss Hansley, are you awake?” Dexie wanted to move but had no strength left.Even after struggling for a while, she still couldn’t get up. The nurse hurriedly said, “Don’t move; I’ll get you some water and help you up.”She used cotton swabs and tape to press the needle tube she had just removed from Dexie’s hand. Dexie was leaning on soft pillows when she turned to pour water and asked, “Miss Hansley, are you hungry?”Dexie was still a bit dazed, and instead of responding to the nurse’s words, she asked, “What happened to me?” The nurse said, “You had a very high fever. Thankfully, early detection prevented disastrous consequences.”It turned out she had a fever. The day before, she went out to look for Danny and came back drenched. She felt uncomfortable and had no strength left before going to bed at night, but she didn’t expect it to be so serious. Su

Perhaps it was the serious and sincere expression in his eyes that caused Danny to look at Dexie with a hint of doubt.Dexie let out a sigh of relief, then told Danny to lie down and said, “Sleep for a while. You need more rest to get better.”Danny nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he looked at Dexie.Dexie got up, covered him with the blanket, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Danny’s forehead. With a smile, she said, “Go to sleep. Mommy will come back to my room once you’re asleep.”Danny nodded, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.After closing his eyes for a moment, as if he were still worried, he opened his eyes and looked at Dexie again.He felt relieved to see Dexie still looking at him with a smile.Dexie smiled and said, “Go to sleep.”Danny nodded. Dexie stroked the bed covers over him while humming a lullaby. Danny was exhausted, so he soon fell asleep.After Danny fell asleep, Dexie let out a sigh of relief and stood up.After experiencing intense an

She was busy in the kitchen. After preparing the food, she went upstairs to see if the doctor had finished bandaging him. As soon as she exited the kitchen, she witnessed Gavin dismissing the doctor. Only a nurse remained at home. Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she listened to the doctor’s instructions.Dexie hurried upstairs to see if Danny had woken up.This time, Victor was guarding Danny. He seemed to wait for Dexie. He looked at Dexie coldly and said in a frosty tone, “Miss Hansley, put the things at the door and let the servants in later to deliver them.”He addressed her as Miss Hansley in a polite and distant tone.Dexie had a terrible feeling in her heart and said, “Mr. Huxley, I know you must hate me now, but Danny has a special condition and cannot eat when someone else feeds him. It’s better to let me in. After he recovers, you can deal with me.”Her voice was very hoarse.As she descended the mountain today, she was shouting Danny’s name and crying uncontrollably. Th
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 319: Danny is Injured
Dexie clenched her teeth and gazed in her direction. At that moment, she couldn’t be overly aggressive. Everyone believed she was the one who made Danny flee and sustain injuries. They and Luke might not let her in if she was too confrontational now. She believed she couldn’t take any chances.Dexie took a deep breath and looked at Ava. After trying to calm down, she said to Ava, “Mrs. Huxley, we can discuss who would be responsible later. Luke won’t let me off easily, so don’t stand in my way. I want to go in and see how Danny is. Since there are so many people inside, I can’t do anything to help Danny. I just want to see him. Besides, you have no right to stop me.”Ava scoffed at Dexie and said, “I am Danny’s grandmother and a member of the Huxley family, so why don’t I stop you? You are not welcome here and cannot enter under any circumstances. Luke also told you to leave. Now that Danny has been found, why are you still here?”Dexie was about to speak when the room’s door opened.
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 318: Danny is Found
Dexie took a deep breath, climbed the stairs, and left her bag in the room. She put on a pair of sturdy, non-slip snow boots and a thick down jacket, then grabbed her thermos and headed out the back door where Danny had also left.The warm water was for Danny to drink. When they found him, he would probably want to drink water.Dexie took a flashlight just in case, then went out the door.She was very careful as she walked along the road. She scrutinized the ground for footprints and the branches on either side for any clues left by Danny.Even though she was anxious, she needed to calm down. Finding Danny was the most important thing.After walking for a few minutes, she saw two small paths in front of her. Suddenly she froze in place and hesitated.She wondered, Which path did he take?Although Danny had autism, he was smarter and more contemplative than normal children. Dexie felt she couldn’t try to understand based on common sense, but should think, if I were Danny... what would

As soon as Ava’s voice lowered, Dexie glanced at Gavin and asked, “How is the search going? Has Danny left this mountain?”Gavin looked at Luke and saw that he was still expressionless. He sighed and, without hiding it anymore, said, “We sent people to search and sent a drone, but... Danny is nowhere to be found. They have checked several checkpoints at the exit and consulted with the security guards. Danny never... Unless Danny escaped by climbing a wall at the foot of a mountain, he must still be on the mountain.”After Gavin’s statement, Dexie became even more concerned. She frowned and asked, “Are there no surveillance cameras? Look for surveillance footage and see what happened.”Gavin sighed and said, “except inside and outside the mansion, only a few mountain paths have cameras.” There aren’t many trails, and the nature of the mountain makes it impossible to install surveillance cameras everywhere.Dexie inquired once more, “What is the duration of his absence?”Gavin said, “It

After Dexie spoke with Jessebelle and Noah, it was almost three-thirty. Seeing the time, she said, “It’s time for me to go back.”Noah said, “Alright, be careful and understand that your own safety is the most important, no matter what happens.”Dexie nodded and said, “I know.”Dexie had only driven a few hundred meters after parting ways with the siblings.Gavin called. Dexie was in a positive mood, so she answered the phone and asked with a smile, “Gavin, since you’re calling me now, could it be that you found something in the investigation?”Dexie was in a positive mood, but Gavin said with a desperate voice, “Ma’am, please come back soon. Danny is missing.”“What?” Dexie’s tone changed, and her heart started beating wildly.“Danny ran away on his own. We’ve been searching for a long time, but we still haven’t found him. Even though it’s not snowing, the outside temperature is extremely low, and the road remains icy. There are mountain roads outside, so I’m afraid that Danny might

Danny’s expression was angry, and he frowned as he said, “Mom said she would be home before 3 o’clock. She broke her promise.”Ava sighed, with a look of distress on her face, and said, “Really? How could she break her promise? That’s unacceptable!”Danny seemed even more upset when he heard Ava’s words and said in a plaintive tone, “Mom promised me, so why hasn’t she come back? Did she fight with dad again?”Ava sighed and said, “She might not return, but she might have promised to be home before 3 o’clock just to console you.”I heard she promised you yesterday, but then she disappeared. She may have returned out of sympathy after seeing your tears. Danny, don’t feel too sad about it. Even if she’s not here, I can love you.”Danny shook his head with a look of grievance and said, “No, I want mom.”Ava repeated, “But... she’s not coming back, are you going to go out looking for her?”After hesitating for a while, Danny said calmly, “I... want to call mom.”Ava sighed and told Danny,
