Ex-Husband Who Has Gone Mad After Abusing His Wife

Chapter An Please Be Careful

Chapter 46

I was taken by surprise, but as I turned to see that it was a BMW, I was

immediately relieved.

As the car came to a stop, a man dressed in black got down from the

passenger side. Smiling at me, he waved, “Hey beautiful.”

I couldn’t help but take a couple steps back from the stench of alcohol on

him. Then, the driver got down and circled around the vehicle to the

passenger side, pushing away the other man as he said, “Get on. What are

you doing here alone?”

It was Chris.

Cold as I was, I instantly took him up on the offer. The car smelled of alcohol

and there was a lot of noise coming from the backseat. It turn or

out there

was a man and woman seated at the back. They were soon joined by the

black shirt man.

Chris ran back to the driver seat, then explained, “They’re all my friends.

Today was an off day, so we were drinking at one of the bars around the

area.”

The black shirt man leaned over to the front, glancing at me as he said, “I

knew you had a reason for coming all the way here. It turns out you just

wanted to chase after this pretty lady.”

Chris glared at the man, “Don’t be ridiculous.” He then turned to me and

asked, “What are you doing here instead of staying home?”

I replied, “I… just felt like going for a walk. I’ve never been outside this late

before…”

Maybe it was common for those with a terminal illness to act a little selfish

sometimes? Chris simply nodded and said in a gentle tone, “Let me send

them home first.”

The black shirt man quipped, “No, no, no! Let’s replace another place to drink.

Since your pretty little lady is here now, you’ll get to drink with us

i she can

send us home afterwards. You okay with that, gorgeous?”

I answered, “I can’t drive.”

Chris chimed in, “She’s also sensitive to alcohol, so she won’t be able to drink

with you either.”

The woman beside the black shirt man interjected, “Then let’s just go and

grab a bite. Doc, I’m hungry… I mean, I just vomited everything out.”

The man in the checkered shirt agreed, “I’m also feeling a little peckish. Let’s

eat.”

“Are you ok with that?” Chris asked me.

I answered, “You can just drop me off at the hotel’s entrance.”

Chris insisted, “Just sit with us for a bit. I’ll drive you back after, okay?”

I shook my head and said, “I’m not hungry. Also… I’m not feeling

well, and

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

I’m afraid I’ll kill the vibe.”

Chris didn’t push the subject. He asked, “Which hotel do you stay in?”

“You can just drop me off in front of the Poseidon Hotel.”

The Poseidon Hotel was a five–star hotel with exceptional facilities and was

very safe. Not to mention, it was right around the corner.

We reached our destination in less than 30 minutes.

Thanking Chris, I got down from the car and walked inside. However, he soon

ran up to me and said, “Let me send you up.”

Thinking it was too much of a hassle, I said, “No need to worry. I can make it

up on my own.”

Adjusting his glasses, he said, “I insist. There are many drunkards at this hour.”

I panicked slightly at the mention of drunkards, so I immediately acceded,

“Then I suppose I’ll have to take you up on that offer.”

Chris laughed, “No need to be so formal. That’s not like you at all.”

I was surprised.

Without giving any explanation, he smiled and said, “Let’s go in then.”

Surprisingly, there was still a long queue at the reception at this hour.

Because of that, it took me a while to get my room card.

I was fortunate to have Chris around, as there were many drunkards lining up

to get a room. Maybe it was because I looked like an honest lady, but I could

feel them staring at me the whole time.

If I was smart like Anna, I would never have as much trouble with situations

like this. Whenever she would get harassed, she could chase the other

person away with a single glare.

Chris escorted me all the way to my door. After carefully examining

room,

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

he said, “Remember to lock the door after I’m gone. Don’t open it under any

circumstances.”

I nodded, “Yeah, okay.”

Chris continued, “You have to be careful even if it’s room service at the door.

It’s a tactic commonly used by fraudsters. Make sure you check ahead with

the receptionist if it’s legitimate. The best thing to do is to just hang your ‘Do

Not Disturb‘ sign up. That way, you’ll be able to sleep undisturbed.”

I nodded again, “Sure…”

Then, Chris pointed at the emergency route and said, “Make sure you have a

look at this as well. If anything happens, I want you to give me a call

imm ately.”

Holding back my laughter, I nodded yet again, “I got it.”

Chris raised an eyebrow, “What’s so funny?”

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

I replied, “Your instructions are very precise. I didn’t mean to tease you, but

you just remind me of someone I know.”

Chris was puzzled, “Who is it?”

I answered, “A very considerate big brother of mine. Every time I tried to do

something myself, he would give me a long set of instructions like a real

brother. I sometimes wonder if he thinks I’m stupid.”

Chris started laughing, “I’m sure that’s not it. It’s probably because you’re too

beautiful and cute that when you insist on doing things yourself, we get

worried if we don’t ask you to be more careful.”

After a slight pause, I said, “Thank you.”

I couldn’t help but feel his words were a little… flirty.

As though Chris could sense that his tone was a little inappropriate as well,

he chuckled and said, “I’m sorry. It looks like I drank a little too much tonight…

To tell you the truth, I have a younger sister like you too. And when r

get

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

little sisters, it’s easy for them to be a little overprotective.”

I nodded and said, “Thank you for today. I will be careful… You should get back

to them soon.”

Chris nodded, then suddenly asked, “Did you carry your medicine with you?”

I said, “Yeah, I did.”

Chris smiled bashfully and said, “Alright, I guess I’ll be going then. Goodnight.”

Holding on to the room door, I replied in kind, “Goodnight.”

Just as he turned away, Chris suddenly looked back and anxiously said, “I’m

really sorry about what happened last time. It won’t happen again.”

It took me a moment to put things together, “Are you referring to the incident

with Ms. Olsen?”

Chris said in an apologetic tone, “Yes, I know it should have been

the two

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

of us. I felt incredibly awkward at the table, facing her.”

I hurriedly replied, “Haven’t you already explained yourself? I’m fine.”

We’re not deeply acquainted after all. Even though I wasn’t happy that day, I

knew that it was not in my place to stick my nose in the matter.

Chris smiled, “Then that’s good. I was worried you’d still be mad at me. That’s

bad for your health.”

So that’s what it was.

He really was a good person.

Even though we weren’t close, he was always concerned for me. Compared

to thanusband of mine, whom I had given so much to, Chris was so much

better at caring for me.

As the thought came to mind, I said, “My husband might make things difficult

for you. I hope you’ll be careful. It’s best if you just resign.”

Chapter 46 Please Be Careful

Chris asked, “How do you think he’ll do that?”

I replied, “I don’t know, but it’s surely worse than resigning.”

I may not be smart, but I was still my father’s daughter.

The moment Dr. Hollister said he would “take care of things properly“, I knew

that things had escalated past the point of reparation.

If Liam were to fire Chris directly, he would need sufficient grounds to do so.

Moreover, he would need to pay a severance check. But if the hospital was

the one dismissing him, then best case he would just pay a rescission fee,

and worst case his medical license may get suspended.
