Oh Please, My Ex-wife

The car moved slowly. But Alice was rapt in thinking about her kids' future so that she didn't notice the car that was going to hit her.

Unlike Alice, Edward watched the video recorded by the monitor. He observed where the car came from and the track of its types. He found that it was a fact that the car hit Alice on purpose.

Before watching the video, he had been glad that the car moved slowly. He had wondered why Alice was hit by the slow car. He only felt grateful that Alice was safe, but he hadn't thought that the car crash wasn't an accident.

It was what Janet said inspired him that Alice staged the car crash. He didn't allow her bodyguards to take her to some strange places. She might find that she was followed by bodyguards so she staged the accident.

He couldn't find any information about the car. It might be true that... She was merciless! Thinking that she had an abortion five years ago, Edward was puzzled. Was Alice still same as the one who had looked forward to the birth of her child five years ago? Edward thought the relationships between Alice and him had improved a lot recently. Less than a month ago, they were as happy as they had been five years ago. He even decided that he should have more trust in Alice. But Alice betrayed him. She was hypocritical and relentless. She was so awful that he didn't know what he should say to her.

Janet scolded at Alice, and Alice listened to her quietly. Alice said nothing and she couldn't speak.

She was pale, with dull and wide-open eyes under which were bigger dark circles staring at the white ceiling of the hospital. She lost much weight only in two days. It seemed that she was wrapped by an invisible shell.

Edward was heartbroken by looking at her. Alice was capable of breaking his heart even by frowning. Edward forced himself to pretend to be angry to hide his strange feelings. He didn't want be affected by Alice easily. He didn't care how she thought of him since it become easier and easier for him to be influenced by her recently.

Alice didn't know when Janet left. When she woke up, she found Edward stood by her bed. He looked down on her for a long time and stared at her. It frightened her.

Then Edward threw a contract on her face. "Explain it to me," he shouted. Alice took over the contract which she hadn't read carefully before she signed it. After she read it word by word, she found that Janet imposed many constrictions on her. For example, neither could she stay at this country nor meet Edward.

"So, do you want to tell me that you didn't sign the contract?" Edward asked. Though Edward was furious, he expected that she could deny it. He knew that she had signed the contract by herself. That was her signature on the contract and that was her voice recorded by the recorder.

Even so, he expected that she could deny it, even though that wasn't true. He would be less upset if he deceived himself than admitting that she had signed the contract.

However, Alice didn't deny signing the contract. She thought there was no need to deny it when Janet showed up. Moreover, she indeed had signed the contract by herself. And it was unnecessary to pretend that she hadn't sign it.

Edward was heartbroken. Alice

admitted that she had signed the

contract and she was expressionless, which were the reasons why he was heartbroken: "Alice, good job. You faked a

crash to get rid of me. You really

"

seek all means to leave me." Edward

laughed sardonically.

I didn't fake the car crash, Alice thought. But she was unable to say it. Even if she could speak, she'd better not talk with Edward, who was furious at the moment.

Therefore, she didn't struggle. Instead, she stared at Edward. It might be the God's decision that she couldn't be together with him. Whenever you thought you lived a happy life, life would become miserable. "Alice, I really hate you."

Alice's lips moved at his words, but her throat was dry, and she could utter no word and her eyes became gloom while Edward looked at her expectantly, though she wanted to say something.

Edward's expect for her disappeared completely at the moment. Then he turned around, left the ward and slapped the door.

What should she say? Or what could she say? It might be the best result that he hated her.

But she had to move forward. She shouldn't only care about the kid that she lost, but also cared Albert and Rebecca. They were so little that they couldn't lose their mother, Alice, who was vital to them. Even for them, she should go forward. Alice began to comply with the treatment provided by her doctor. She took medicine and dined on time. Later, she changed a lot as if she was a different person.

The nurse who took care of Alice

were unaware of how she had changed. She found that Alice was still sad but in a reserved manner Besides, Alice's temperament changed, but the nurse couldn't t how it changed. All she could say

was that people couldded by

their pains.

Edward never showed up, nor others related to him. It seemed that Alice had a dream. After waking up form the dream, she couldn't see Edward.

Once Joanna visited her without entering her ward. She had a look at her form a long distance and then she left sneering.

Alice also looked at her form a distance. They were not close enough to greet or talk with each other, so they both simply had a look at each other. This meeting was meaningless for them. Joanna looked at Alice ironically, while Alice looked at her indifferently. After Alice had been in hospital for a week, John visited her. He told him the news about Albert and Rebecca, which surprised her. Her kids were the drive that kept her alive now. She unprecedentedly missed them.

Alice had a wonderful "talk" with John. It wasn't a genuine talk since both of them were mutes. John had learned some sign language. And he communicated with Alice by writing and using sign language. In this way, they could "talk" with each other.

Looking from the window if the

ward, people could see that Alice and John were smiling, and writing on a paper in the quiet ward. The atmosphere in the ward was warm as if it might break out from the window. But people outside; window couldn't feel the

п

the

atmosphere inside. Edward didn't leave the hospital. For a whole week, he stayed at a place where he could see Alice.
