Louis didn't know where he should go. His mind was blank, and a dull ache throbbed inside him. At this moment, it felt like the vast world had abandoned him, leaving him no place to call home.For some reason, Alice's figure surfaced in his thoughts. Finally, he turned the wheel and headed toward Alice's school, though he wasn't even sure if she would still be there.The dark sky grew heavier as the moon was veiled behind thick clouds. Black mist stretched across the heavens, and finally, a crack of thunder shattered the silence of the night. Heavy raindrops pounded against the ground—tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.Alice was busy handling her project. While her brother Ron had managed the investments as the school's principal, his workload was overwhelming. Not wanting to add to Ron's burdens, Alice stayed late into the evening to manage everything herself.Her mind was screaming with exhaustion, and when Alice glanced at the heavy downpour outside, she felt even mor

Alice was unaware of Louis’s “hidden” concerns. She swiftly dried Louis off with incredible speed before dressing him in a set of pajamas she had bought for Ron. The outfit was too large for Ron, but it fit Louis well. However, since Alice didn’t have men’s underwear on hand, Louis had to make do with going commando for now.Afterward, Alice used a hairdryer to dry Louis’s hair. Meanwhile, Louis silently closed his eyes, savoring the gentle touch of Alice’s hand as she ran it through his hair. He even felt a flicker of happiness. Perhaps it was the encounter with his mother tonight, or the rain had washed away the fog clouding his mind. For some reason, Louis no longer needed to deny his emotions.He realized he might genuinely like Alice—he had even liked her for a long time. It was just that he had never acknowledged or accepted it until now.Earlier, he had only pretended to faint. Yet, when Alice turned to leave, he genuinely felt a wave of exhaustion that caused him to collapse.

Finally, Louis was loaded into the ambulance. Even in a fever-induced stupor, he clung tightly to Alice's hand, showing no signs of letting go. The doctor had no choice but to let Alice accompany him in the ambulance.After a night of IV fluids, Louis's fever finally subsided. Yet, even in his sleep, he refused to release Alice's hand. Alice had no choice but to sit by his bedside, nodding off intermittently. She silently vowed to charge him a caretaking fee once he recovered. They were divorced, yet Louis constantly found ways to bother her!The following morning, after a heavy downpour, the sky seemed more straightforward and fresher. The early sunlight streamed through the window, radiating a serene beauty.When Louis opened his eyes, he was greeted by a pristine white ceiling. This wasn't Alice's house, he thought with a jolt.He tried to move but realized his hand was gripping something. Turning his head, he saw that he was still holding Alice's hand. Alice was slumped over by th

“Crash!”The phone smashed against the wall with force, shattering into pieces before hitting the ground.July, who had thrown the phone, maintained an icy expression. Her gaze shifted to a photo frame on the desk. Frowning, she picked it up, ready to hurl it next. But then, her expression abruptly softened.She caressed the frame with a gentle, apologetic look and murmured, “I’m sorry, Alice. I scared you. I’m sorry, Alice.”Her face twisted into a ferocious snarl, like a rabid dog ready to tear someone apart. Gritting her teeth, she growled, “That bastard... he’d better really be dead!”Meanwhile, Alice sat in her office, holding a photograph identical to the one July had, though hers was slightly different—she hadn’t torn the man standing next to her out of the picture.In the photo, they all appeared young. Alice stood in the middle, smiling softly. July clung to her arm with a wide grin, and the man next to Alice gazed at her with tender eyes.If Louis were present, he would imme

"Ha ha ha, Louis, Alice keeps clinging to you like that. Don't you find it annoying?""Exactly! She's way too thick-skinned. You don't even like her, yet she still sticks to you. I think you should divorce her already!""Just look at her! I bet the moment you divorce her, she won't be able to take it and will probably hang herself, ha ha ha!" The mocking laughter echoed around Louis, and Alice stood at a distance in his line of sight. Even from this distance, Louis knew Alice could hear every word his "friends" were saying. At that moment, Alice turned around, her beautiful face coming into Louis's view. He trembled slightly and instinctively replied, "That's right, Alice definitely can't live without me. Otherwise, I would have divorced her a long time ago." "You're just too kind, Louis!"One of his friends commented, but Louis remained silent. Meanwhile, Alice, standing before him, lowered her head slightly, seemingly saddened by his words. The scene shifted again. This time, it

“Louis, don’t be too upset. It’s just a heartbreak. I’ve looked into it, and I can’t believe Maya turned out to be that kind of person—not only stealing but also daring to deceive you! The fact that you didn’t send her to prison already shows how much you value your shared childhood. You don’t need to feel sad over a girl like her!” Curtis, who assumed he understood the situation, said this the moment he reached the second floor.Robert chimed in from the side: “That’s right. There are countless women in the world; why would you still dwell on Maya?”Robert even wanted to mention that Alice was far better than Maya, but recalling the tension between Louis and Silas, he swallowed his words.Silas, standing nearby, remained silent. He didn’t believe Louis would crumble over someone like Maya. In fact, Silas had never even sensed any genuine affection from Louis toward Maya.As expected, L

When they saw Alice's attitude, Curtis and Robert could hardly hold themselves back, almost wanting to curse aloud. But remembering that she was the woman Louis loved, they forced themselves to continue."We truly realize our mistakes, Alice. We hope you can give us a chance to make things right!"Alice looked at the two of them, nodded, and said, "Alright, I can forgive you—on one condition."Curtis and Robert's eyes widened with anticipation as they eagerly waited for her following words.Alice glanced at them and said slowly, "Never show yourselves in front of me again."With that, she turned and walked away, not giving Curtis and Robert a chance to say another word.They wanted to chase after her, but Alice had already entered the faculty area. If they followed her now, they would surely attract much attention. Thinking about how humiliating it would be for others to see them groveling, they found it hard to accept.As Alice stepped into

Alice had just entered the hotel banquet hall when she spotted Louis. Although she didn't want to admit it, she always seemed to notice him in a crowd. Seeing the annoyed frown on his face, Alice quickly looked away, ignoring him entirely.Louis knew that now wasn't the time to talk to Alice. Before long, he was surrounded by influential figures, including July. Meanwhile, Alice was encircled by renowned scientists and representatives from major organizations. They were eager to learn what groundbreaking invention Alice might unveil after her successful hemostatic medication.Alice had become highly sought after among scientists and investors.

Louis immediately became panicked, quickly getting out of bed. His whole body swayed, and his legs were so weak that he nearly fell. He had to hold onto the edge of the bed, his breath rapid, his heart pounding, still recovering from the long faint. Fortunately, his body was strong and recovered quickly, though he still felt a bit dizzy, and his vision was blurry.Not having time to worry about himself, he urgently asked, "How is Alice?"July suddenly fell silent, not saying anything. Her abrupt stop made Louis suspicious. He looked at her with a questioning gaze, his heart racing with a bad feeling.July's eyes flickered slightly, hesitation passing in a moment, but she couldn't hide the deep sorrow within. She looked at Louis as though considering whether or not to tell the truth, her lips pressed together, hesitant and speechless.Louis felt his palms go cold. July's silence was like an invisible hand tightening around his chest. A sense of unease spread through his body, every cel
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 123: Fatigue
Hearing that name, Louis’s body trembled slightly. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, filled with extreme exhaustion but also carrying an unspoken pain. His voice came out hoarse:"I can’t leave… I have to stay here, wait for her to wake up…"Ron clenched his fists, turning his face away to hide his emotions. In the stark white hospital room, worry and despair intertwined, enveloping everything.Louis slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Alice lying in the hospital bed. She was still motionless, her weak breath completely dependent on the oxygen machine beside her. Alice’s body had noticeably weakened, her pale skin lifeless, making her seem as fragile as a delicate princess lost in a long, deep sleep. The painful tightness in Louis’s chest made him clench his hands to keep from letting out a sigh.He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm himself, but Alice’s image remained firmly etched in his mind. He couldn’t forget what Mrs. Campbell had just said. "If you collapse

Her face was covered in dirt, with small wounds bleeding on her forehead and cheek, but in this moment, Alice was still strangely beautiful. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips, even as tears involuntarily spilled, mixing with sweat and dust. Her eyes sparkled in the fiery red glow of the sunset, gentle yet full of sorrow. She loved Louis, and that had never changed.She spread her arms wide, waiting for the deadly embrace from Cliff.Louis and the others watched in despair as the scene unfolded before them. Louis rushed forward, wanting to pull Alice out of danger, but a figure moved faster than him—Vein.It turned out, he hadn’t died.The memory from the laboratory flashed back: Cliff’s final bullet had grazed Vein’s forehead, leaving a deep but non-fatal wound. When Cliff had left, he had sneered one last time, saying, "Get lost!" He thought Vein was no longer of any use, not worth finishing off. But now, Vein appeared, like a demon from hell, to stop everything.His messy hair

Cliff smirked, his eyes gleaming with challenge."So this is how you want to talk like a man? If that's the case, then let Alice go." Louis' voice was low, but the danger in every word was evident.Cliff burst out laughing, the gun in his hand still pressed against Alice's temple. "You think I'm stupid, Louis? I'm not crazy enough to let her go so easily." He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness. "If you want to save her, then come over here."Just as Louis was about to take a step forward, Alice suddenly screamed, her voice hoarse with pain and fear. "Don’t! Louis, don’t move!" She struggled, but her strength had drained, her legs too weak to stand. Still, her eyes remained resolute.Louis froze, his gaze meeting Alice's with profound sorrow. She was protecting him, even though she was in the most perilous situation. The anger inside him burned fiercer than ever, but he remained patient, knowing that one wrong move could make Cliff act instantly.Cliff narrowed his eyes
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 120: Threat
Alice froze, her breath quick and shallow, feeling the suffocating grip of his embrace. Cliff’s face was close to her ear, a twisted smile still lingering on his lips."Alice, are you scared?" His voice whispered, laced with fake tenderness. "It’s just a joke, my love... I’m only trying to scare you."But immediately, his expression shifted. His eyes gleamed with madness, his muscles tensing, and his low voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap."But even if I destroy you… I’ll do it right in front of Louis!" He hissed each word, his eyes burning with a hatred so intense that it seemed to bring him a twisted pleasure.With that, Cliff bent down, gripping Alice’s arm tightly and roughly yanking her up from the ground. No gentleness, no pity—he dragged her as though she were nothing more than a discarded object. Alice staggered, her legs aching as if thousands of needles were piercing her skin, but she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to keep up with Cliff’s swift pace to avoi
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 119: Quench Everything
But just then, her foot got caught on a large vine hidden among the rotting leaves. She didn't have time to react, her entire body was yanked downward, losing its balance. A wave of panic swept over her, and in the next moment, she rolled down a rocky slope.Alice screamed in pain as sharp stones and dry branches hit her body. Each impact was a sharp, piercing pain that seemed to cut through her flesh, and she even heard a dry "crack"—perhaps a few bones had broken. When her body finally stopped at the foot of the slope, the pain was almost unbearable, leaving her gasping for breath. Her body trembled, and her vision blurred from tears that welled up from the excruciating agony. Alice sobbed, her breaths caught in her throat. She wanted to scream, to cry out loud, but she couldn't. There was no time to be weak.Biting her lip until it bled, Alice shakily pushed her hands into the ground, trying to lift her battered body. But the pain from her ribs nearly made her collapse again. Don’t
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 118: Hope
The sound of the helicopter echoed in the sky, making her heart race. A spark of hope flickered in her mind, and she almost wanted to laugh despite being in a life-or-death situation. She whispered, as if to reassure herself: "They're coming... they're really coming..."But if she didn’t manage to escape, if she was caught again... Alice didn’t dare to imagine what would happen. What would Cliff do to her? His cold face, eyes full of absolute control, appeared in her mind, making her shiver. She didn’t want to be locked up in that dark room again, trapped like a bird in a cage, losing both her freedom and hope. No! She had to run! She had to escape from here at any cost!Alice had nearly given up everything to get this far. Over the past few days, she had starved herself to create a pitiful appearance, tricking Cliff into lowering his guard. But that had also made her much weaker. Her legs felt heavy, each step felt like walking on sharp blades. Her empty stomach clenched painfully, h

Cliff didn’t answer, only lunged again. In his eyes, there was only betrayal and fury, as if all the years they had fought side by side meant nothing anymore. But deep in his heart, a fear gnawed at him—the fear of failure. Could it be that he was going to lose again? Was everything he had worked for, everything he had done, going to be taken from him once more? No… he couldn’t let that happen.Vein quickly sidestepped, delivering a kick aimed at Cliff’s ribs. But Cliff was too enraged to feel the pain. He grabbed Vein by the collar and punched him squarely in the face again.The two of them struggled, crashing into the lab table, causing everything to shatter in chaos. Sharp shards of glass cut into their skin, blood dripping in droplets. Their eyes met for a brief moment—Cliff’s eyes were ablaze with fury, ready to burn everything down, while Vein’s eyes were cold, distant, yet tinged with something resembling... pity. No matter how intelligent Vein was, he could not overcome the in
The Billionaire EX-Husband Wants To Reconcile Again! Chapter 116: Escape
Louis sat in the command seat, his eyes fixed intently on the island gradually coming into view. His heart pounded in his chest, each passing second cutting into his patience like a sharpened blade. Alice… She was there, imprisoned, suffering—how? The thought sent a surge of fury through him, but he had to stay calm. This wasn’t just a mission—this was redemption. He wouldn’t lose her again.His hand tightened around the seatbelt, his knuckles turning white. He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and Alice’s smiling face appeared in his mind. Her voice, her bright gaze—everything about her urged him to move faster, to be stronger. When he opened his eyes again, only cold determination remained.The radio crackled in his earpiece. "Target in sight. The island is ahead—signs of guards present." A voice came through from the reconnaissance team.Louis nodded, his gaze resolute. "Everyone, get ready. We don’t get a second chance."The helicopter circled, drawing closer to the island shrou
