Knowing My Ex-Wife After The Divorce Novel by Yetta Horace

Chapter 6



Natalie shot a glance at Tobias beside her. “What’s going on with her?”

Tobias sighed, “Elle messed up. I owe you an apology; the news from last night was leaked by her.”

Natalie was surprised he knew about it. But knowing Tobias, it made sense. He always had ways to find out things. By the look on his face, he was here to clean up after Elle and take the blame. He must really like Elle.

I’m not blaming her, Natalie said lightly. She wasn’t that petty; it was just some rumors going around. The real issue was that Elle had Tobias backing her up-if it came down to a fight, i could get ugly.

“Elle’s health isn’t great. She can’t handle too much stress, so I didn’t acknowledge what happened last night. It’s not that ! mind. Tobias explained.

“Uh-huh” Natalie pointed to the mark on her collarbone. Like I said, I got bit by a dog. It has nothing to do with Tobias s eyes darkened instantly. Before she knew it, he leaned down, aiming to kiss the mark you.

Natalie reacted quickly, blacking him with her hand. Her soft fingers brushed against his lips. She laughed lightly. “Ex- husband, don’t forget I’m your past. If you don’t want your precious little angel to have a heart attack, it’s best not to get too close.”

Tobias bit his lip and pulled back, looking at her with a hint of discomfort. “Since you’re Dr. Liam, you don’t care about that 200 million dollars?”

Natalie raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Mr. Reese, you used to be less chatty.”

Tobias tightened his lips. ‘Answer me.”

Natalie shrugged. “Well, it’s because we agreed from the start-I don’t want more than what was promised.”

His gaze darkened. “You could take it,”

“Not necessary. I know this is you acknowledging that I was a good wife before, and that’s enough for me,” she replied c**lly**ever need anything in the future, just ask.

“Okay. Natalie decided not to push it anymore. Tobias had a lot of influence in Jonton’s high society. If he was offering help, there was no reason to turn it down.

Tobias s face softened a bit. “Also, Elle is not my first love.”

As soon as he said that, they arrived at the hospital. Elle was waiting in her car nearby. The moment she stepped out, her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Tobias. Tobias, my condition…

Natalie raised an eyebrow, thinking. It seems Tobias has told Elle something to explain why he rode in my car. Tsk, how considerate! I have never seen this side of him before. But he probably wouldn’t admit he almost lost control in the car. What a player! And here he is, saying Elle isn’t his “first love.” I have never seen him treat anyone else like that’

Taking her role as a responsible doctor seriously, Natalie crossed her arms and said lightly. “You just need to find a compatible heart, and the person who has it must be willing to donate. Then you can go back to being a normal person.”

Setting aside how hard it would be to find a match, no one would willingly give away their heart. They wouldn’t survive without it, making the whole thing nearly impossible. Tobias s gaze darkened. It looked like he was hearing the same hard. truth from other doctors too.

“Of course, there are other options. A friend of mine has been researching artificial hearts for the past few years. If we can set something up, we might try that for Elle, but the technology Isn’t quite there yet, Mr. Reese. You might want to wait.”

Natalie added.

Once she said that, it hit Natalie like a ton of bricks. Tobias had told Elle that he needed to talk about her condition with Natalie in the car. But now with Natalie’s words, it felt like they hadn’t even talked about Elle’s condition in the car at all. Elle might thought Natalie was saying this on purpose. The truth was, Tobias didn’t take the initiative to ask. Natalie was just trying to help them both.

Elle’s face went stiff for a moment. “You guys didn’t talk about this in the car?”

Before Tobias could respond, Natalie quickly jumped in. “We talked about some details about your condition, but we didn’t. get into this.” As for the specifics… well, she didn’t want to prolong it. If Elle asked Tobias, he could figure that out himself. “Ill organize some data and have someone contact you later. Sensing things might get complicated, Natalie turned to leave.

Once she was gone, Elle looked up at the still-cool man beside her with a pout. “Tobias, do you still have feelings for her?”

Tobias glanced at her, his tone gentle but with a chill. That doesn’t concern you. Just focus on getting better.”

Elle clenched her hands tightly. “Okay, I’ll try not to worry you, and I promise I’ll behave.”

“Mm. Tobias nodded lightly.

Natalie decided not to handle things alone and called the directar to step in. This way, she could give Tobias some face and avoid any unnecessary drama about their past. When it came to exes, she knew how to keep things cool.

Two months passed-long enough for feelings to settle but short enough for them to linger. Natalie hadn’t seen Tobias during that time, but her body was starting to feel strange. “Ugh The breakfast she had earlier suddenly threatened to come back up.

“Dr. Liam, are you okay?” Some of the other doctors shot worried glances her way. “Are you pregnant? You don’t look so good today.”

Everyone looked shocked. Dr. Liam seemed so young and cold; no one expected her to be married already, let alone have à Natalie shook her head and quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth. “I’m just having some stomach issues.”

“Oh, is that all?” The others didn’t pry further.

No one noticed when Natalie discreetly checked her pulse. It really did feel like early signs of pregnancy. She didn’t want to believe it; after all, she usually knew her body well. It was possible she was actually pregnant.

In the ten years she lived with Tobias, everything had been good, and they always took precautions-except for that one night. Ugh, how unlucky could she be to end up pregnant with his child? If that was true, things between her and Tobias would only get more complicated, unless she could keep it from him. She hoped she could hide it.

But that afternoon, fate had other plans. Natalie ran into Tobias in the office. He was sitting on the couch, looking just as composed as he did two months ago. However, his gaze was sharper, more cautious as it fell on her. “Are you feeling unwell?” Tobias asked directly.

Natalie forced a small smile to ease the tension. “I’m just having bit of stomach trouble.”

“Maybe you should get checked our

Look, I’m a doctor. I know my body well enough.

Tobias wasn’t backing down. “Doctors can overlook things too.

Natalie realized there was no way to avoid this check-up.
