How My Ex Became My Next

In his words, there was a profound sense of helplessness.

And there were some things that words just couldn’t fix.

Gilda raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a slight smile. “Mr. Harrington isn’t the one who did wrong. Why should you be apologizing?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jensen shook his head slightly. “This apology is from the me of the past.”

“Save it, Mr. Harrington!” Gilda said, glancing toward Luna not far off. “I’m planning to pursue this matter to the end.”

“Alright, I support whatever decision you make.” Jensen’s words clearly showed his stance, which sent Luna into a panic, “Jensen, are you really siding with this woman? Your cousin is the one lying in the hospital!”

Jensen replied without so much as a glance her way. “We’re all adults here. It’s about time we paid the price for our actions.”

“What on earth did Emily do to deserve this from you? Remember, she’s the one who’s lying in a hospital bed right now!” Luna was beside herself with anger. “I don’t care what you plan to do, but you better not lay a finger on Emily.”

Jensen, witnessing this scene, hurried after them, grabbing Gilda’s wrist from behind. “Let me take you home.”

Gilda frowned slightly, instinctively trying to break free, her tone devoid of emotions. “Sorry, Mr. Harrington! That won’t be necessary. You should probably focus on sorting out this mess at the hospital right now.”

However, Jensen insisted. “No rush for the moment!”

He didn’t give Gilda a chance to refuse and followed her straight out.

Left with no choice, Gilda quickened her pace.

But Jensen clung to her like a stubborn burr, all the way to the hospital entrance.

Gilda had had enough. “Jensen Harrington, that’s enough.”

“Not nearly,” he retorted.

As soon as he finished his words, Jackson stepped in front of Gilda, assumi
