All Chapters of Mr. Graham's Relentless Pursuit of His Ex-Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

By college, she'd managed to save six figures. But between her father Richard's regular extortion and her mother Helen's major surgery two years ago, her savings had dwindled pathetically to less than $10,000.During their three years of marriage, Travis hadn't given her a penny. Even on their anniversaries, he'd only bought her a few drugstore lipsticks.Everyone envied her marriage into wealth, but only Nicole knew the harsh reality of life in this golden cage.Yet Travis, as her husband, confidently believed Nicole should be grateful to the Grahams. He was convinced that everything she had was solely due to his family's generosity.So naturally, he felt entitled to her care and attention when he was ill."Travis, how sad that after all these years, we never really understood each other. Fine, I'll care for you as you demand. But right now, I need to change my clothes."Nicole had been standing under the air conditioning vent, and she had begun to shiver.The doctor had warned

The attending physician's face twitched at Travis's words. With his hands tucked into his white coat pockets, he was about to give this arrogant CEO a piece of his mind when James begged him to discuss it outside.When he saw James's pleading expression, the doctor swallowed his anger and followed James out.Nicole went after them."Doctor, what if we paid $5,000 per night for the private room?" James negotiated."Absolutely not! We're severely short on beds! Your boss is taking up a four-person room all by himself - it's completely wasteful! Hospital administration has ordered me to free up the room today!""How about I contact the hospital director directly to discuss this?""The director was clear - the room must be vacated today, no matter the money offered! We can't prioritize your wealth over other people's lives! Other patients need proper hospital care too!"The doctor, having worked his way through medical school on scholarships and part-time jobs, particularly resented

"Your ex-husband?' The elderly patient looked utterly surprised, casting a sideways glance at Travis. 'Why are you still taking care of him and tolerating his attitude after your divorce?"Sometimes, blunt words carry deep wisdom.Nicole secretly chuckled, watching Travis's face turn green with anger.Lucy quickly tried to explain to the elderly man, "One day of marriage means a hundred days of kindness. Besides, Nicole was once part of the Graham family…" Her voice trailed off before she could complete “adopted child.”"Miss, forgive me for being direct, but what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Graham?" the patient asked sharply, cutting her off mid-sentence.The question left Lucy speechless. She looked expectantly at Travis, hoping he would clarify their relationship verbally.Of course, she hoped for the answer she wanted to hear. After all, Travis had divorced Nicole, and if he truly loved her, he should publicly acknowledge their relationship.Noticing Lucy's silent,

From the moment Karen entered, arrogantly slapping Nicole and then stomping on her hearing aid, Travis had remained coldly detached throughout.Or at least, that’s how Nicole saw it.She had long stopped expecting anything from this man.But when he demanded she apologize to Karen, who had slapped her, Nicole's anger surged from her chest. "Apologize? Absolutely not."Her indifferent gaze swept over Travis’s chiseled, shadowed features before settling on the elderly patient.She walked over and said gently, “Sir, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself, and thank you."The elderly patient, already frail with a weak heart, had been too intimidated by Karen’s aggression to speak up earlier.Hearing Nicole's thanks, he felt slightly ashamed for not being more helpful.Nicole shook her head, telling him that taking care of his health was most important.After saying goodbye to the patient, Nicole walked toward the hospital room door, never once glancing at Travis.Travis watched a

The bottle flew through the air, about to strike Nicole. Helen mustered all her strength to push Nicole away."Bang!"The bottle exploded on impact.Helen felt no pain on her body.But her heart ached as if a piece had been torn out.Because Nicole had shielded her with her own body.The bottle crashed directly into Nicole's arm, shattering on impact.Helen felt Nicole's body tremble, and her own heart nearly broke.She tried to turn Nicole's body with her good right hand but couldn't move her.Tears streaming, she begged, “Nicole, let mo… let me see how badly you're hurt. Let me see!"Feeling unworthy of being a mother, she struggled to even call herself "mom."Nicole straightened up, covering her bleeding shoulder, and smiled, "I'm fine. Just a surface wound. I'll just bandage it."Seeing Nicole trying to comfort her, Helen's heart sank further, and her tears wouldn't stop.She looked at Richard with desperate rage, screaming, "She's your own daughter! How could you do t
