The Girlboss Regrets Our Divorce Chapter 24
I quickly remembered that she was the girl who almost crashed into me yesterday. "Jean Morris?"She beamed, seemingly not expecting that I would remember her name. "I'm surprised you remembered… Anyway, I brought you here since I happened to see you pass out."I recalled, earnestly grateful to her even as I recalled the moment I passed out. "Thank you so much! How much did they charge you?"Jean didn't turn me down, but I was also dead sure the sum she had asked for was way lower than it should have been. As such, I made sure to get the check and wired an extra hundred as thanks.She was clearly too embarrassed to accept the money when she saw the transfer records, so I made sure to reason with her so she would happily take the money.Ever the nice girl, she then told me, "I think you have a condition. You should stay for further examinations."I looked down at my own stomach as I touched it, and there really was a vague pain. I nodded—having died of stomach cancer in my last l

Nonetheless, as long as I lived happily and ate regular meals, there shouldn't be much of a problem.The report was soon out, and I returned to the ward to show it to Bryan.Jean brought me a cup of water, probably because she saw my lips were parched. I was reading the medical report too, and didn't expect her to bring me a cup of hot water. I flinched in reflex, splashing hot water all over Bryan's hand.He flinched in turn, dropping the medical report audibly."I-I'm sorry! It's an accident!" My heart skipped a beat, and promptly grabbed his wrist, intending to get some cold water over his hand.However, even before I reached his hand, I felt a pain on my shoulder as I was shoved forcefully away.Caught off guard, I fell heavily on the floor, gasping in pain as I sprained my right hand, which I held out to stop myself from falling face flat.I then looked up to see that Ivy had grabbed Bryan's hand and rushed to the restroom.I was stunned, but soon heard the splashing in

I might have spilled hot water on Bryan's hand, but Ivy shoved me to the floor before I could do anything about it.No one was going to be pleased with a sprained wrist, or should I be satisfied?Nonetheless, Ivy grabbed me by the collar, snapping even as I choked, "You're still pretending?! I thought you were just greedy and nothing else, but I guess you enjoy having pretty faces flocking around you, taking your side, right?!"I didn't get it, until I realized that she was accusing me of cheating.Laughing despite myself, I shrugged, "You're saying that I'm not just a bum, but a womanizer too?"My laugh left Ivy glowering, and she clenched so hard her fingers turned white. "What, are you saying that you're not? She showed up yesterday, and now today. When did you hook up with her? Is that why you're divorcing me?""Or maybe you have an entire ocean to yourself? 'Plenty of fish in the sea', and she's just one of them?"Yesterday?I narrowed my eyes as I realized something impor

Still, I barely made two steps when I stopped.After all, Ivy just warned me to stay away from Bryan.And with his girlfriend taking care of him, my presence was inconsequential anyway, so I decided to drop it.Still, I made sure to text Jean, as well as wiring some money as an apology to Bryan before heading to Uncle Benji's ward.I strode in to find him sitting up, staring listlessly at the ceiling, his thoughts unfathomable.With the loose patient garb and his stubble, he looked like your typical middle-aged homeless man "Uncle Benji," I called out to him.Light seemed to return to his eyes, just then, and he straightened himself, seemingly having waited for me for a while."You're back," there was some joy in his voice, even anticipation."I have some food here, so why don't you stay for lunch, have a bite?"He pointed at a table nearby, and my eyes widened as I turned—it was filled with plates of various luxurious seafood, and my favorites at that!"C-Can I really have

Finally, I was getting divorced.It was a release, after I had been bound to this toxic marriage for so many years, in my past life and this one.Still, just as I was going to call Ivy and ask why she wasn't here yet, my phone rang, "Yes?""Mr. Isaac York?" A voice asked urgently. "I'm sorry, but your uncle's condition suddenly worsened and he's in surgery as we speak. Please come to the hospital right away."My heart clenched, and I felt like the world was spinning around me. "Okay… Okay!"I hurried to the hospital in panic, my mind a mess along the way, texting Kyle as I did.When I arrived, the red light above the doors was still lit, keeping me away from my uncle.Kyle arrived soon as well, clapping me on the shoulder. "It's going to be alright. Don't let bad thoughts consume you—heart attacks aren't that terrible, and modern medicine is a marvel."I fought back my tears. "He's my only family now, and I just got him back. I don't want to lose him."At the same time, I reme

I nodded. "Alright, thanks."I hated the fact that I didn't divorce Ivy sooner, or I'd have been able to afford Uncle Benji's medical fees.One hundred grand… I only had twenty grand right now, and that meant I was eighty short.I called Kyle first, who promptly transferred fifty grand to me.Thirty short.I swiped through my contacts, but there weren't that many.Aside from the ones I hadn't reached out to for a while and the ones I only had a passing acquaintance with, there were only two choices… My father, and Ivy.Two of the people I wanted the least to have anything to do with.I planned on the wall, looking up as I weighed my options.If I called my father, he'd just snap at me and not give me a thing.Ivy was even worse—we were just getting a divorce, and then not?She'd definitely mock me, and divorce would become even harder then.I chose my father without hesitation, and it took a while for him to answer."What?" He asked impatiently."I need some money," I qui

My face paled as my heart felt torn. "Have you recovered? How were you doing abroad?""Yeah, I've made a full recovery." Millie smiled. "Fracture healing and rehab took over a year, and now I can walk just fine. As for life abroad… It just doesn't feel like home."Then, turning to look me in the eyes, she sighed. "If only you were there."Her words left me with a bitterness unfurling inside my heart that didn't seem to fade. I was ready to face the world alone before I met her, but now that she was here, I was leaning on her before I knew it.As I did, I wondered why couldn't I improve enough so that she could lean on me too…"I'll return the money as soon as possible. Don't worry. Thank you so much…."I was barely speaking coherently, but I couldn't help it.In my last life, Millie fractured her leg saving my life before I married Ivy. As such, I asked for the Jenners' help to treat her, as part of the deal for the wedding.She recovered in my last life too, but came to my

When the hospital informed me of my imminent death, my wife was getting married to her one true love.Back in the day, she detested the idea of anyone finding out we were married.But now, she wanted everyone in the world to know that they were legally married.With my last breath, I called her repeatedly to arrange my funeral, but she hung up on me every time, eventually blocking me.As I felt the agony throughout my body, all I could do was smile tragically. "We've been married for three years, but to think that you're so cold…"On her end, it was no exaggeration to call it the wedding of the century as the noon bell rang.As for myself, I was in the ER, hearing the fading beeps of medical equipment as I drifted out of consciousness, dying alone.Then, amid the chaos, I suddenly seem to hear Jack Lucas, my cousin."Wake up! Wake up!" Jack was hounding me.I abruptly opened my eyes, the sensation of suffocating somehow lingering as I turned to find Jack standing beside my bed

The girl appeared hesitant. "Well, I could, but it's raining and I just got my license…"She trailed off, and I chuckled, as I realized I was simply too used to tough women with Ivy's overbearing attitude. The girl, however, was a delicate flower, and unassuming girl-next-door type who immediately invoked my protectiveness."I have a driving license," I told her. "Would you like me to take the wheel?"She did not protest, tactfully riding shotgun while letting me drive.As we conversed along the way, it turned out that she was a concept artist like me in anime.Her eyes sparkled, clearly more surprised than I was. "I didn't think that we're actually from the same field!"I chuckled, not expecting her to be such a chatterbox despite her shy appearance.Before I got off, she added me on WhatsApp, saying she hoped to stay in touch and learn more from me.I smiled as I watched her pretty grin. "Sure."Nonetheless, as I returned to Kyle's home—having taken off my wet shoes, he stud

My heart skipped a beat.Ivy took that gift bag out of the car, and then returned with it.Was it really not a gift for Bryan Cox?Was it really a present for our anniversary, but she didn't have a chance to give it to me while we were inside the mansion?Even as Ivy approached the car, I started to get nervous as my doubts and hopes clashed.The instant she opened the door, however, I once again died inside as Ivy stared coolly at me and said quietly, "Get out of the car."I was stumped, staring at her and not quite believing my ears. "What?""Get out of the car," she repeated.Even Walter had turned toward her in surprise, but did not dare breathe a word.I glanced at the gift bag she was holding in dismay.Why did I have to dream? How could I even hope that she'd give me a present?Still, I looked her in the eye and demanded, "Why? You're the one who demanded that I attend this luncheon, and now you're telling me to leave. What do you think you're playing yet?"I knew sh
