Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Jenna, did you have a nightmare?” He hugged her tightly and apologized, “I’m sorry, Jenna. I failed to protect you and let you suffer alone. You have suffered too much in the past. I promise that I will never let you and our child suffer again in the future.”

As he spoke, there was sorrow in his voice. Jenna was startled when she noticed that.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Child! Our child! Sure enough, he knew it.

“Jenna, since you have awakened, come and eat something.” Hansen helped her to sit up. He furrowed his brows upon noticing that her clothes were soaked with sweat. He rang the bell and ordered the nurse to bring in another set of clothes before carrying her into the bathroom so that she could change.

“Be sure to eat more, otherwise, I won’t let you off easily.” Hansen was anxious. He hoped to feed her with lots of food right away. He took out the dishes one by one. There were more than 10 plates in total. Jenna gasped when she saw the amount of food.

Was she a pig? How could she finish everything?

“I’m not hungry,” Jenna said languidly. She really didn’t have an appetite.

“Eat even if you are not hungry,” Hansen instructed. “You are emaciated, don’t you know that you have to eat?”

Upon finishing the sentence, he picked up the spoon and scooped some mushroom soup for her to have. She parted her lips, drank a few spoonfuls of mushroom soup, and felt nauseous soon. She felt like vomiting and refused to eat anymore.

She really didn’t have an appetite. She could still force herself to eat a few days ago but at this instant, she did not feel like eating anything at all. It was probably due to her bad mood the past few days.

“Jenna, be good and eat more.” Hansen was heartbroken. He kept persuading, “You are too thin and weak. You must eat something. You can’t just rely on enteral nutrition.”

How could he allow her to be malnourished under his care?

“Come on, have some salad.” Jenna dropped her head and refused to look at him. He scooped up some cabbages and tried to feed her. He said softly, “Try this, maybe you will have an appetite.”

Jenna felt like she was going to vomit again and shook her head.

“How could this be? Aunt Ella said your appetite has improved the past few days. Why has it worsened suddenly?” Hansen was on pins and needles.

After a while, he reached out to ring the bell. A nurse dashed into the room and Hansen instructed her to find a doctor. The nurse spun around and called for the doctor immediately.

“Doctor, why can’t she eat anything?” Hansen asked very anxiously.

“Mr. Richards, it is normal for a pregnant woman to have no appetite at the first stage of pregnancy. The severity varies for each individual. Some will not be affected while some will have a better appetite. However, some will not have an appetite at all. It depends on the person. There’s nothing wrong with it,” the doctor explained patiently.

Hansen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what the doctor said but he still shook his head and asked, “No, she is too thin and malnourished, what can I do to help her?”

The doctor smiled and reassured him, “This should only be temporary. It will improve after the first trimester of pregnancy. Don’t be anxious. The results of her examination show that everything is all right. If you are worried, we can give her some nutrition injections.”

Hansen frowned. He was displeased with the suggestion.

“According to today’s examination, everything is normal. You should try to avoid sex for the time being. The most important thing is to be optimistic and cheerful. As long as you come regularly to the hospital for check-ups, there should not be a problem. Don’t worry too much. Accompany her more and bring her out for some fresh air. She can also listen to talks regarding pregnancy,” the doctor suggested.

Hansen finally relaxed. However, he still felt uneasy when he glanced at Jenna’s pale appearance, anxiety evident on her face.

She was under emotional stress.

She was in anguish for the past few days.

Hansen understood.

“Jenna, did you hear what the doctor said? You have to be happy. Tell me what’s on your mind, please,” Hansen urged. “Once you have recovered, I’ll bring you overseas and you can give birth over there. I just want you to be happy. I will only marry you. Please believe me. You have my child, I will take full responsibility.”

Jenna remained motionless and did not respond. No matter what he said, she just remained silent. Soon, she dozed off again.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she was wrapped in a tight embrace. It was an embrace she was very familiar with. He hugged her tightly in a protective gesture, obviously not wanting to leave.

Her left hand felt a little numb and she tried to change her position. Hansen woke up immediately.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” he asked instantly. He rubbed her abdomen gently and was filled with joy.

He was going to be a father. The baby in her abdomen belonged to him. All his unhappiness vanished in an instant and he was filled with gratitude. The woman he loved was going to give birth to their child. It was everything that he could hope for.

Jenna could hear his heart pounding rapidly and the excitement in his voice. However, she only felt uneasy.

Time was scarce. Soon, they would be separated.

Aria was still pregnant. Jenna shuddered when she remembered that Aria was also staying in this hospital.

No, she must leave immediately the next day before Aria realized that she was pregnant.

“Jenna, what’s on your mind? Can you tell me?” Jenna’s silence made Hansen uneasy. He hugged her tightly and asked gently, “What are you worried about? Trust me and tell me. We will definitely overcome this challenge. There’s no big deal. We can always abandon the Richards Group. I’ll go and book a ticket tomorrow, we can go and live in another country with our child. What do you think?”

He comforted her with a gentle voice.

Jenna was in distress as she listened to what he said and tears coursed down her cheeks.

“Jenna, why are you sobbing? Don’t you believe me?” Hansen heard her crying and panicked. He wiped away the tears from her cheeks and kissed her. He wanted to let her know that he was determined to protect her as he loved her.

Tears split over and flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam. Hansen got anxious and kept kissing her as he hugged her tightly, trying to give her some form of comfort.

He embraced her and tried to reassure her that everything was all right for the entire night. There was in his voice a sincerity and gentleness that Jenna had never observed in it before.

“Ms. McAdams, congratulations! You are about to become Mrs. Richards.” Minnie came in with a bunch of flowers, a grin on her face.

Aria smirked and put on airs.

“What? Is there anything you want to tell me?” she asked lazily as she flipped through the magazine in her hand.

To avoid radiation, Aria could not look at her phone or watch dramas with her laptop. She could only look at magazines. Life was so boring. If she didn’t need to threaten Hansen with a child, there was no way she would get herself pregnant at such a young age.

“Ms. McAdams, that b*tch has left Richards Manor. It’s just…” Minnie’s voice faltered.

“It’s just what?” Aria instantly became nervous.

“It’s just that you would not get the b*tch’s room. Apparently, Mr. Richards disagreed and he was persistent. Hence, Madam Marissa had no choice but to back down. She was worried that provoking him any further would ruin the plans.”

“What…” Rage coursed through Aria’s veins. However, she soon calmed down. As long as she received the inheritance right of Richards Manor, everything would eventually belong to her. There was no need to rush.

“Ms. McAdams, Richards Manor had been decorated magnificently. Madam Marissa is currently busy decorating Green Jade Garden. It seems that she thinks highly of you. Your wedding will definitely be grand.” Minnie was overjoyed that Jenna was driven out of Richards Manor and she was eager to please Aria.

Aria’s face broke into a grin. She squashed the paper in her hand. Her fingernails were painted red, the color of blood.

Minnie trembled as a hint of terror flashed across her mind.

“Did you hear of the Ocean Heart before?” Aria asked suddenly. Her voice was cold.

“Ms. McAdams, Julian had never heard Vivian possessing something like that,” Minnie hurriedly replied as she shivered inadvertently.

“Impossible.” Aria interrupted her. With a darkened expression, she said, “Ocean Heart is the treasure of Richards Manor. People had seen it before. According to history records, the jewel was owned by the Richards family three decades ago. According to the rules, Ocean Heart would be passed down to the daughter-in-law. A lot of people wanted to marry Hansen. Do you think it was just for lust and fame? I want the Ocean Heart! Otherwise, it would be nothing even if I marry into the Richards family.”

Minnie was in a daze when she heard that. Anyone who owned the rare jewelry would be unmatchable in terms of wealth.

“But Ms. McAdams, Julian has rummaged through Vivian’s bedroom the past few days and hasn’t found any traces of the jewelry. I haven’t heard anyone in Ink Garden talking about this jewelry too. Only Vivian knows where it is. Ms. McAdams, don’t worry, if there really is such a piece of jewelry, Vivian will definitely give it to you,” Minnie reassured her.
