Chapter 290: Returning Home
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Danny was still asleep. There was food he had prepared in the refrigerator, but if Danny found out about her departure after waking up, how sad he would be. Whatever happens, Danny was innocent in all of this and still did not know about anything. But she had to leave even if she didn’t want to. Luke had already told her to go.
After quietly planting a kiss on Danny’s forehead, Dexie didn’t hesitate anymore. She turned around and left. She put on the jacket she wore when she first arrived, grabbed her backpack, and got ready to leave.
She thought about how to leave. It wasn’t a wise idea for Noah to pick her up because the paparazzi were probably waiting outside. She let Gavin send her down the mountain, and then she would take a taxi.
Gavin paced back and forth on the stairs anxiously as she descended. Seeing Dexie dressed like that, he was surprised. Then he asked with a puzzled expression on his face, “Ma’am, why are you dr

She originally wanted to ignore it, but after hearing Gavin’s words, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”Gavin’s voice sounded anxious as he told Dexie, “Mrs. Huxley, after Danny woke up, he found out that you were no longer at home, so he started crying.”“Mr. Huxley didn’t care. He was drinking.” He got very drunk and even vomited twice. Mrs. Huxley, please come back soon.”Gavin’s voice conveyed a sense of extreme anxiety, showing that he was likely nearing his limit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called or sounded so anxious.Dexie’s expression turned serious. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is Danny still crying?”“Yes, he’s still crying. He won’t stop crying no matter who tries to persuade him, and he won’t even drink water

Dexie whispered to Danny, “Okay, go to bed now and try not to cry anymore, alright?”She fought back the urge to cry. Danny assured her, “Okay, Mom. Goodbye. I’ll have the lasagna you left for me soon.”Dexie thought he was just saying that, so she didn’t take it seriously. She nodded and said, “Alright, behave yourself. I’ll hang up now.”As Dexie was about to end the call, Gavin quickly intervened and said, “Wait a moment. I need to tell you something.”Dexie paused and waited for Gavin to speak. Gavin took a deep breath and struggled to tell Dexie, “Mrs. Huxley, Mr. Huxley is still drinking. If he doesn’t stop, things could escalate. He’s emotionally unstable right now. Please hurry back.” Feeling upset, Dexie dismissed Gavin’s concerns.“Gavin, I’ll begin the divorce proceedings with him in a few days.” “If you continue to say such things, I won’t return.” Gavin hesitated and said nothing further.He mumbled, “Okay.”After hanging up, Gavin still felt unsettled. Danny was in a pit
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 293: Lucky To Have An Older Brother
When Dexie heard Noah’s words, she sighed in relief. Noah picked up the phone and said to Dexie in a serious tone, “Dexie, I have a question I want to ask you.” When Dexie spoke, her voice was still hoarse and sounded as if she were depressed.“What is it?”“I know you want to stop me because you are worried about my safety and don’t want to involve others,” Noah sighed and said helplessly, “But... could it be possible that it’s because you care about Luke?”Noah’s words suddenly made Dexie fall silent, and for a while, she didn’t know how to respond. She wondered, What were her true intentions? She cared about the Claire family and feared implicating others, but maybe she still felt something for Luke? She wondered, Why would she still worry about him?She considered him a substitute and had the cold blood to even kill her older brother- and sister-in-law, so why did she apparently still not give up on him? Her own feelings confused Dexie. She wondered, had Luke’s kindness and sweetn
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 294: She Is Not His Daughter
Could it be that the DNA test report showed that Dexie was his sister? Otherwise, how could an average person, especially someone from the lower class, dare to go against Luke? After Eric heard what Dexie said, he snorted and said it in a distant tone, as if he had realized nothing.“Fear? What is there to fear? You are so beautiful, kind, and young, so you can make any man afraid.”Dexie felt deeply moved and distressed, but after hearing Eric’s words, she forced a smile and said, “Eric, I didn’t mean that. I mean, aren’t you afraid of the Huxley family? After all, he is Luke Huxley.”“I don’t care who he is. He can’t intimidate you, and he was wrong in the first place,” Eric raised his fists and said, “Don’t worry, I may not be good for anything, but hitting on womanizers is very easy for me.”Dexie shook her head and said, “Forget it, Eric, I won’t go there for now. I will file for divorce with him in a few days. What does it matter to me even if he finds a girlfriend?”When Eric h
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 295: Hospital Records Investigation
Feeling concerned, Dexie furrowed her brow. In the past, this was basically the only hospital in the area. Dexie, Eleanor, and Eric’s sister, who were born to mothers from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, gave birth to their children at that hospital, leading to an unintentional switch. However, even though it was a public hospital and therefore not as well-equipped as those high-level private hospitals today, it was too much of a coincidence that there was an incident where a water pipe burst and a fire. Dexie believed the situation was more complicated than it appeared. Someone might have instigated those incidents.Dexie asked, “Can we visit that Dean then?” With a worried expression on her face, Jane shook her head and said, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible because that old dean has already retired and cannot be bribed. But I know he really likes oil paintings.”Dexie furrowed her brow and said, “Really, is that so? In that case, thank you for the advice. I will think of a sol
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 296: Danny's Relapse
However, according to Jane, Dexie didn’t have any other options. Straightforward people, like him, were the most difficult to deal with. What should she do? Could it be that she really had no choice but to go back and beg Luke for help? She frowned. Her fight with Luke had been so intense that they had reached the point of almost getting a divorce, but even if she swallowed her pride to beg him for help, Luke still might not help her.So, what should she do? She couldn’t even give away these two tickets. Her imagination ran wild, and she actually missed Danny a bit. Dexie drove her secondhand car aimlessly. Unknowingly, she drove the car to the Huxley Group building. After coming to her senses, she secretly scolded herself for being so careless. Then, the car made a U-turn and headed back. She was a little hungry, so she ordered a plate of pasta at a restaurant near the Huxley Group building. When Gavin saw the pictures of Dexie sent by the person following her, he was so excited that
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 297: Mrs. Huxley Blocked You
Amelia said while crying, “I don’t know. While eating, Danny suddenly vomited.”She hadn’t seen Danny vomit so much in a long time. She was so scared and worried about Danny’s safety that tears flowed.Luke slowly frowned and looked at Amelia. Seeing her looking hesitant, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you hiding something from me?”Amelia raised her head and looked at Luke. Looking a bit worried, she lowered her head again. After thinking it over, she hesitated before saying, “Actually, I suspect Danny vomited because he ate too much.”As she spoke, she wiped Danny’s mouth and gave him some warm water to drink.Resting in Luke’s arms, Danny looked very weak and said, “Dad, my stomach hurts.”Luke felt distressed for Danny, so he reached out and gently patted Danny’s shoulder while soothing him gently.“I’ll take you to see the doctor, okay?”Danny shook his head and looked at Luke with a grievance when he said, “No, Dad, I don’t want to see a doctor. Can you take me to see Mom? I alm
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 298: Forced to Use Gavin's Phone
After she heard his voice, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Dexie said, “Do you need something?” She was debating whether to seek Luke’s help when he called. She repressed her anger, didn’t hang up, and instead asked, “Why don’t you use your own phone?”Luke said, “Don’t you remember you blocked my number?” Luke’s voice was calm, but his tone sounded reproachful.“Um...”Surprised, Dexie froze for a moment. She remembered that after waiting in vain for Luke’s call for two days, on an impulse, she blocked his number. She didn’t expect that.The people on both ends of the phone remained silent for a while. After a while, Luke took a deep breath before saying, “Danny vomited again.” Upon hearing this, Dexie became very anxious and asked, “What’s wrong with Danny?”Upon hearing Dexie’s anxious voice, Luke felt distressed. After he left, he didn’t miss her at all but immediately became anxious when he heard that something was wrong with Danny.Complete

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

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.

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
Ex-Husband, You Don't Own me Chapter 317: In Search of Danny
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,
