Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 36 Calmly



Jenna was exhausted and sweating all over. Her cheeks were flushed from excitement. Hansen’s hand touched the sweat all over her body. He said in a low and angry voice, “Why did you save me? I am a man, I don’t need a woman to protect me.”

His words were full of anger, and he was feeling upset.

Jenna’s fantasy about him was instantly shattered by his words. She thought he was so anxious because he was afraid that after she had saved him, it would become a burden on his back. He was afraid that she would latch shamelessly on him from now on.

After all, the person he loved was Aria. They were getting married soon.

“I didn’t save you on purpose. I was afraid that after you got hurt, I wouldn’t be able to complete designing the car, then I couldn’t leave Richards Group. I was even more afraid that I couldn’t find the two cars.” Jenna felt bitter in her heart. She gritted her teeth and finished her words in one breath. Then, as if she had used up all her strength, she collapsed in Hansen’s arms.

Hansen trembled and lifted her chin.

Her face was as pale as a piece of paper.

“Tell me, what do you want those two cars for?” His eyes were gloomy, and his tone suddenly cooled down. He looked at her directly.

Jenna opened her eyes and quietly looked at the dark aura around Hansen’s body. She was silent, but her heart felt like it was being slashed by a knife.

Hansen looked at Jenna who was silent. She lay weakly in his arms, her face was as gray as ashes. However, her eyes were showing courage and determination. He was startled by her serious look, and even more by her unreadable thoughts!

It was obvious that she was weak, but the light in her eyes was so stubborn. He had the desire to grab a piece of sanding paper and grind away the stubbornness in her eyes.

Perhaps she was only like this when she was with him. Whenever she was with another man, she would be gentle like a pet. She knew how to be gentle, but not toward him.

A faint anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart.

However, when his palm touched her hot back and her painful breath, they reminded him of the decision he made in his heart during the day.

Even if they weren’t meant to be husband and wife, they shouldn’t be like enemies.

He suppressed his anger and hugged her tightly.

He felt that the woman in his arms was drenched in cold sweat. Even her hospital gown was soaked!

He sighed, put her down, and brought over a basin of hot water.

Jenna laid softly on the bed. Hansen wrung the towel and wiped off her sweat. Finally, he took out a set of clean clothes to help her change.

Jenna refused to let him help her change.

However, Hansen smiled and joked, “What are you pretending for? I have seen every inch of you. I won’t eat you, I’m just helping you to change. You’re in such a state, what else can I do? Besides, you’re so irritating that it’s off-putting!”

Jenna became even angrier when she heard that. She turned her head and ignored him, but she was not as strong as him. She had no choice but to let him help change her clothes. Later, Hansen hugged her and she fell asleep.

When Jenna opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.

A ray of sunshine came in from outside the window. It was warm, and it painted the white color of the ward with a layer of golden light.

Although the ward was no longer so cold, Jenna felt the pain on her back getting worse. Every time she moved, she gasped at the stab of pain.

Hansen was standing on the balcony and making a phone call. His slender back was like a pine tree, straight and verdant. He slightly raised his head, and his neatly-tailored suit made him look majestic.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Jose Trenton walked in, looking a little anxious.

“Tell me,” Hansen came in and ordered coldly in an iron-like voice.

Jose looked at Jenna lying on the bed and reported in a low voice, “The man is a local resident of Green Mountain Town. The original garbage incinerator was built next to his house. A few of his family members died one after another due to cancer. Some experts said that the deaths were related to the incinerator. Recently, the local residents heard that it won’t be relocated because of Camphor Tree Villa. In the end, he blamed everything on Richards Group. He was furious and decided to vent everything on you. From what he said, he wanted to take you down so that the government would notice this issue.”

Hansen was silent and his face was a little gloomy. He waved his hand, and Jose left.

He lit a cigar and walked to the balcony. Jenna looked at his back. The sun shone on his body and made him seem lonely.

After he finished the cigar, he came in.

“Are you hungry? I’ll bring you something to eat. Have a good rest in the next few days, and don’t go to work,” he talked softly with a smile on his face. The evil look he had just now was nowhere to be seen.

Jenna was in a dilemma, but she couldn’t say a word.

“Thank you.” After a long time, she looked down, slightly raised her head, smiled, and said softly.

Hansen was stunned.

It seemed that it was the first time that he had seen her smile in a long time. Unlike the forced, faked smile in the past, her expression was natural and real. Her smile was faint and her dimples were showing. It was charming.

The corners of his lips instantly curled up. This woman finally thanked him, although she didn’t look very willing.

It turned out that she knew how to smile after all.

“You were injured because of me, it’s my duty to take care of you.” Hansen smiled slightly, but his tone was calm. As he looked at the wound on Jenna’s back, his eyebrows slightly frowned.

He stood in front of her and then sat down at the foot of her bed. Looking at her bright eyes, he was a little moved. Although she was injured and was crying in his arms in the middle of the night, her eyes were still as clear and bright as before.

For so many years, he had watched her being ignored by his mother in the Richards Mansion. Even the workers did not take her seriously. He had deliberately neglected her and would not stand up for her. Because of his hatred for her, he had adopted a completely indifferent attitude. He had not even given her a penny. In the end, she still managed to get through it and even succeeded.

Her eyes were still clear, which gratified him the most.

“Take good care of yourself. Grandma’s birthday is coming up. I hope you can attend her birthday banquet. Grandma has always been nice to you,” Hansen thought for a while and said sincerely.

Jenna’s heart was instantly replaced by a burst of sourness. She looked down and thought for a moment, then asked faintly, “How is Grandma?”

“She’s fine,” Hansen’s inky eyes shone with a hint of unclear emotion as he replied seriously.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jenna lowered her eyes. After a while, she said softly, “Okay, I promise you.”

The corners of Hansen’s mouth were slightly quirked up. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time in all these years that they had such a peaceful conversation.

“I’m going to work now. I’ll come to see you whenever I have time.” Hansen looked at his cell phone, stood up, and smiled at her. He then walked outside.

Hansen left in a hurry. Jenna stared after him until his slender figure could no longer be seen.

In the morning, Hansen would ask people to send her all kinds of food and fruits. Jenna’s wound was still hurting and she had no appetite. She just slept.

When she woke up again, it was already eleven o’clock in the morning. She was lying lazily on the bed while watching TV.

The news was broadcasting what had happened yesterday at Green Mountain Town. Jenna suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She remembered something and called home.

If her mother saw this news, how sad would she be? What if she became anxious? She made the phone call in fear. Fortunately, Aunt Lee brought her mother out that day to exercise, so she didn’t know the news.

Jenna quickly told Aunt Lee what had happened and told her to keep it a secret from her mother. Aunt Lee was very worried. She talked to Jenna while she wiped away her tears. Only after Jenna had sworn that she’s doing fine now that Aunt Lee was relieved. After a long time, she said happily, “Miss, your mother is happy today. A handsome man told her that he is your friend from the United States. He has been chatting with your mother. It’s the first time that I saw her smiling so brightly.”

Aunt Lee was talking on the phone with great interest, but Jenna was shocked.

“A friend from the United States? Who’s that?” Rayan’s tall figure flashed before her eyes. “Could it be him?” she thought.

The door of her ward was opened and a slender man came in with a large bouquet of white lilies in his hand. The flowers were delicate and fragrant. As soon as the man walked in, she could smell the flowers instantly.

Jenna instantly felt refreshed.

They were her favorite white lilies.

The petals were crystal clear and were so white that they were spotless. However, they were still dripping with dew, giving off bursts of fragrance.

“Jen.” Rayan, who was gentle and masculine, walked in quickly. He looked at her deeply, his face full of worry and his heart was aching. “What happened? How could such a thing happen? I was shocked by the news this morning”

He talked as he put the flowers on her bedside table.

Jenna looked up and saw that his eyes were full of worry, warmth, and concern. A warm current flowed through her heart.

He knew something had happened to her, but he had accompanied her mother all morning. Did he do it on purpose in order to keep her mother from knowing that she was injured?

Indeed, such a thoughtful person like him would like to do such a thing, but how did he know where she lived?

As if he had seen through her mind, Rayan smiled. He looked at her with his bright eyes and blinked, “I guess you know. I’m the one who accompanied Auntie this morning. Don’t worry, I didn’t want her to worry about you.”

He said it lightly and naturally, without any embarrassment. On the contrary, Jenna was the one who was embarrassed to ask how he knew about her family’s address.

“The news of the President of Richards Group, Hansen Richards, who was being attacked yesterday had caused the share price of Richards Group to drop drastically. The market is experiencing a panic sell,” the broadcaster was reporting on the financial channel on TV.
