All Chapters of Dear Billionaire Ex, You Don’t Own Me : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jocelyn’s POV “Thanks,” I said to the cashier as she handed me my receipt and bagged groceries.I came to the grocery store to buy the foodstuffs that I intended on using to prepare some dishes.The result of the bone marrow test was going to be ready tomorrow, so I had decided to make myself busy by cooking various dishes.Cooking was one of the best ways I relieved stress, and in the past three days, I had been extremely stressed; from finding out that Sofia and Eduardo had a daughter, who had gotten into a fight with Henry, to discovering Henry's chronic ailment.I couldn't even bring myself to focus on anything, let alone go to work. And because of that, Amelia had temporarily taken over my duties.Truly, I had struck a goldmine with a diligent assistant like her.Making my way to the exit, I pushed the door open and headed outside to the parking lot. I had almost gotten to my car when a little girl bumped into me, causing me to drop my bag.“I'm sorry, ma'am,” Her tiny voice waf

Eduardo’s POV As I reviewed the third quarter sales report, a knock came on the door.“Come in,” I said, flipping through the pile of paperwork.Rafael walked in, armed with his iPad. “Sir.”“Yes. Have you finally found something?” I asked, unable to conceal my curiosity and impatience.It had been three days since I told him to look into Henry.“I have, sir,” Rafael responded. “Henry is currently on admission at Sacred heart hospital for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. A trusted source of mine told me that he's not doing well at all, and that he needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.”My heart scudded, as an overpowering wave of shock and dread filled me.Henry was seriously ill yet Jocelyn hadn't even bothered to inform me.I wasn't blaming her of course. I mean, she was Henry's sole guardian at the moment, but I was hurt that she had been withholding uch an important piece of information from me.“Is that all?”“Yes, sir.”“Alright then, thanks for the information. You

Eduardo’s POV My lips twitched with a smile as I watched Henry sleep peacefully, completely oblivious to the outside world and what was going on in it.After a day of deliberation, I had decided to secretly help Henry by meeting up with his doctor to tell her that I was his father, and convincing her to act like I was a random donor.Initially, she had refused my idea and had told me that doing that would be utterly unprofessional of her.However, yesterday, I had been quite stunned when she called and agreed to my plan.Apparently, Henry's condition had worsened to the extent that he had a seizure that had nearly affected his organs.“Good afternoon, Mr Lopez,” Dr Simpson said, as the anesthesiologist inserted a syringe into my IV packet. “Thanks for standing up for Henry. The next time you wake up, the surgery would have ended.”As I nodded, I felt my brain become foggy and my vision blurry. Within seconds, I had dozed off.The next time I woke up, I was back in my hospital room, w

Jocelyn’s POV“Henry went back to school today,” I told Amelia, as I inscribed my signature on a pile of paperwork. “Guess what time he woke up.”“Six?”Huffing, I shook my head. “I wish. He woke up at three then proceeded to wake me up because he didn't want to be late for his first day at school in a while. He was so eager and I found it extremely adorable.”“He's such a serious student,” Amelia said, to which I chuckled.“Yeah, I give it this week tops before he starts complaining about arithmetic again,” “Have you heard from Mr Lopez since the surgery?” Amelia asked, and my heart did a weird flip.A week had passed since Henry was discharged from the hospital. I had last seen Eduardo on the day before Henry and I left the hospital.He had come to tell us that his doctor had certified him alright, and that he was going home.After that day, I hadn't seen him again.Although he still sent text messages to me, inquiring about the state of Henry's health and whatnot.Eduardo was yet

Jocelyn’s POV Running my hands down my body, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror and smiled at myself.Eduardo and I were going out on a date tonight, and I was both nervous and excited for the whole thing.I wasn't planning on dating him of course, I had only agreed to go out with him, so as not to arouse his suspicions.Just like I had planned from the beginning, his downfall was going to be spontaneous and extremely heart wrenching for him.My heart scudded with a heavy feeling of guilt as I thought about my plan, but I pushed the feeling away.Slipping my legs into a pair of black heels, I grabbed my black Gucci purse from the dressing table before exiting my bedroom.I was clad in a grey silk bodycon dress that elegantly accentuated my curves. My hair flowed down my hair in long, wavy strands, and I was donning a silver bracelet coupled with a pair of diamond earrings.Henry was currently on a three-day kindergarten fun camp, which mad everything by far easier.Had it been he
