OH PLEASE, MY EX-WIFE

Alice is doing medical check-ups on a patient in the consulting room. Suddenly, the door is kicked open. There are two familiar faces at the door. It's Janet and Joanna!

"Alice, how dare you come back here? How shameless can you be to do such a dirty job?"

Janet walks straight to Alice's desk in righteous indignation and looking down at her in a condescending attitude as if Alice did something wrong.

Alice raises her head. She never thought Edward's mother would come.

When she sees Joanna smiling inexplicably and stands behind Janet, Alice immediately realizes what's going on.

It must be Joanna's trick. She must have said something to Janet, that's why Janet comes here.

"Excuse me, this is the Andrology Department. The Department of Gynaecology is on the other side of the corridor. Exit and make a left turn, please. Be careful not to come to the wrong department next time." Alice doesn't have anything to talk to Janet. She replies to her ironically and continues with her treatment.

Janet is furious. She thinks Alice came back to get back at her.

Otherwise, why would she become so good at talking back after coming back from overseas? And she even dares to taunt her?

"Alice, I'm warning you. Don't you dare to think that you'll win by playing dumb. You and Edward are never ever getting back together! Stop dreaming!" Janet tells Alice off directly. She has lost her patience. "Woman like you can never marry the Smiths. I have chased you out a few years ago, I could still do the same today! You are never coming back into our life!"

Alice looks at Janet and sneers.

"Excuse me, I'm on duty right now. This is the hospital, not any of the Smith family's property or the Mayor's garden. Could you save it until it is off-hours?"

Alice is trying to be as polite as possible. Looking at Janet Louis, a cruel woman who almost murdered her children, if it isn't for her mother, she wouldn't even be trying to control her temper. Her hatred for Janet is nothing lesser than how much she hates Joanna.

Janet never expects Alice to become so courageous and dares to talk back to her. It never even crossed her mind that forcing Alice to take those abortion medicines is a wrong deed. "On duty?"

Janet sneers. She thinks that Alice is trying to escape from her using such an excuse. She threatens her and says, "The Smith family is holding thirty-percent of the total share of this hospital. It could be very easy for me to ask them to fire a doctor from the Andrology Department."

The Smith family is involved in many businesses and it is not surprising that they are holding thirty-percent shares of a hospital.

Janet made some calls when she is on her way to the hospital. She is very sure that they are holding the shares of this hospital that Alice is working in.

"Don't push me!"

Alice is triggered. She didn't do anything wrong. Why is she targeted again now?

If it's not for her mother, Alice wouldn't even want to come back to this place. This old bag is overestimating herself so much that she thinks everyone is after their money.

The cracking sound of the skin-contacting-skin echoes off the walls before Alice could react. A red mark appears on her cheek.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The patient is startled and stands up from his seat. He looks at Alice and Janet, then he realizes these visitors are looking for trouble. He leaves in a rush and tells Alice, "I'm sorry, doctor. I should come back next time."

This is the second time it happened.

Last time it was Joanna, and now, it is Janet. Alice clenches her fist. Edward, you and people in your life are just the same. Why can't you all just go away?

"Did I push you too far? Now tell me, will you leave my son alone or not? As long as you are willing to leave him alone, I will offer you money, sends you to a better hospital, or even multiplies your pay. The only condition is that you will never see my son again and disappear from our life. How does that sound?"

Janet has seen so many women like this. She thinks she can achieve everything with money, which is why she always looked down on Alice.

Alice stares at Janet, and she gets another slap!

"What are you looking at? How dare you glare at me!"

Janet talks in a condescending attitude, "I have told you a few years ago. Edward and you have divorced. There is nothing between you both anymore. Well, you said you loved him but didn't you end up marrying another man?"

Janet's expression is twisted by anger, "You are such a harlot! Stop trying to seduce Edward when you are married to another man! This is my last warning to you. Edward is already engaged with Joanna. Quit messing around with him!"

Alice gives Janet a cold shoulder. She stares at her as if she is an emotionless item. The Smith family, they are all the same. They are all heartless.

"Janet, it's not worth being angry with such a person. You must take care of your body."

Joanna walks forth and lightly tap on Janet's back as if she is her mother. At the same time, she looks at Alice with provocations in her eyes.

Alice's lips twisted into a mirthless smile. This is exactly what happened five years ago. Janet and Joanna were using the same condescending attitude and humiliated her. And now!

They are still the same. If she ever has shown any sign of weakness, they would have stepped on her already, they might even get excited and takes humiliating her as a game.

"Mrs. Smith, I respect you as the mother of Edward's. You, of people, should know how painful it is for a mother to lose her child. How much you love Edward now is exactly how painful I was when I was forced to get that abortion!"

Alice isn't dumb. She will never let Janet know that Albert and Rebecca are Edward's children. She won't allow anyone to cause any harm to her children anymore!

"Woman like you is unworthy to carry the descendants of the Smith Family. Don't ever dream about it! The mother of Edward's children will always be Joanna, and Joanna alone!"

Janet always thinks Alice's name is not worthy to be placed together with the Smith family. To her, Alice is never someone who stands in an equal position, instead, she is in the lowest, dirtiest position and she is not worth mentioning at all.

"Mrs. Smith, I respect you as the mother of Edward, which is why I don't want to argue with you. I have nothing to say to you either. So please leave the premise at once. This is not a place for you to create trouble!"

Alice bites her lips with her shell-white teeth and points at the exit of the consulting room. Her face is as cold as ice. She wants Janet and Joanna to leave right away. 000☐☐☐☐
