Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 12 Stay. Away.

VICTORIA POV

I sat beside Alessandro all the way to the hospital. He was lying like a lifeless body with an oxygen mask on his face. I was very anxious as we were going to the hospital in the ambulance.

The male nurse beside me kept him in check and assured me everything would be fine. But, my worries are not taking a name for leaving.

I am so scared. All cruel memories of the past kept roaming in my head as tears slipped through my eyes.

All I could hope was that nothing serious happened to him. Because if anything goes wrong, I can never forgive myself.

Soon, we reached the hospital, which seemed like forever to me. The medical staffs were faster as they immediately set up a stretcher and took him inside.

I followed them.

The doctor checked him on the spot and decided that he needed an operation immediately.

While I watched the nurses and other doctors taking him inside, the main doctor stopped me, following them. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Mrs. Devonte, there is a procedure you need to sign.”

His words stopped me on the track. This doctor knows us well but didn’t know the recent news of our divorce.

“But, doctor…” I tried to explain that this was not in my hands anymore, but he continued, “his condition is serious. The operation needs to be done really quickly. But before that, we need to complete the procedures as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we can admit him to O.T.”

I don’t know why God is so obsessed with putting me in such crazy situations. The more I want to stay out of this family, the more I am drowned in it.

“Mrs. Devonte? Please hurry up!”

“Huh, yeah… Where to sign?” I asked. There is nothing to do. The surgery needs to be done immediately; if I wait for his family members to come, it will be too late.

After the procedure is completed, the O.T. room is closed, and the red light is on. I called Calvin to let him know and asked him to inform his family.

As I was waiting out of the room with an anxious heart, Alessandro’s grandmother arrived on crutches with aunt Gina.

Grandma Nina was breathing heavily. Her face is filled with terror. Even though I don’t have any good connection with them, I must have to admit grandma’s love for his grandson.

“How is my Alessandro?!” Grandma asked hastily.

“He’s still in resuscitation. He needed an operation immediately, and Doctors are attending him in the O.T.,” I replied with my head lowered in guilt and fear.

Even though we are divorced now, I still love him. And today, he is fighting for his life because of me at some point. I could feel tears blurring my vision once again.

On the other hand, Grandma almost fainted hearing the news. Aunt Gina helped her sit on the bench at the side.

Suddenly Gina turned to me and pushed me back, making me stumble.

“You bitch! It’s all because of you! you only brought bad luck to your husband!” And then, without warning, she slapped me on the cheek.

It burnt like hell. But that wasn’t the end of it; I raised my hand and slapped her hard, sending her stumbling.

“Stay. Away,” I glared at her.

Gina’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at me, covering her cheek.

She didn’t expect this; they thought they were dealing with the same Victoria they Knew, but it’s not the case anymore.

“How dare you?!” Grandma barked at me and coughed violently in the force. However, that didn’t stop her from scolding.

“Do you even know how to be a good wife? Three years with my Alessandro. And you can’t even learn to take care of your husband!”

I locked my eyes on her. Even though I was often unfairly accused, I made it a point to keep my gaze averted whenever she spoke so as not to show disrespect to Alessandro’s eldest relative.

Now, things have changed. I did not lose my cool like them, as I said calmly.

“We are divorced.”

The news made both women silenced for a brief moment before they both gasped in unison. “You are divorced?”

I nodded, “yes, we are. Just completed the procedure this morning.”

They looked skeptical about it. No wonder about it, though; they never believed in my words ever. Yet, it does not bother me anymore.

Gina stepped forward threateningly, “then how much property did you take from Alessandro? As shameless as you are, you must have demanded half of it!”

Her words didn’t anger me but made me chuckle, even in this stressful situation.

Her nephew is inside, fighting for his life, and outside, she is worried about how much the property has gone. Yeah, all can see who is the shameless one.

I shook my head. “I didn’t take anything from him.”

“You didn’t take anything?” She sneered in disgust, making me cringe. “When did you become so good, huh? You get married for money, and now when you are leaving, you will leave without anything? Say these words to those who will believe you, not us! To think that we are so stupid as to be unaware of your insatiable avarice is absurd.”

I was expecting these thoughts from her. So, I don’t drag her words. There is no point in arguing with people who always believe they are right.

I only shook my head with a mocking smirk on my face when the red light turned off. A few seconds later, the main doctor came out of the room.

Grandma jumped from her seat and almost dragged herself before him. “How is he? How is my child?”

“The operation is successful. Thanks to Mrs. Devonte for bringing him to the hospital sooner. No vital organs were harmed; he just needs more rest.”

“How long will it take for him to wake up?” Grandma asked again.

“Don’t worry, ma’am. He will wake up in a few hours,” he replied.

“Only one person will be allowed to stay beside him tonight, and I prefer Mrs. Devonte to do so,” saying that, he looked up at me, making me freeze on the spot.
