My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Marc suddenly remembered what had happened three years ago. On the highway, he learned that something had happened to the Santos family, so he rushed from the branch office to Machodean.

However, halfway through, he received a breakup call from Clarissa…

She cried and said, “Marc, I’m sorry. Although I love you very much, in order to maintain the Santos family, I can’t be with you anymore. Please, get Mrs. Males to let us off. Let’s break up.”

Before he could say anything, Clarissa hung up the phone. When he called again, Clarissa’s phone was switched off.

Actually, he wanted to tell her that even if they wanted to break up, they had to make things clear face–to–face to show their respect for each other.

At that moment, his mother’s dominance and his girlfriend’s abandonment made Marc’s mood extremely bad. When he reached the fork in the road, he did not slow down. A high–speed truck did not slow down either and charged straight at him…

Bang!

In a daze, he saw himself when he was young.

His parents argued endlessly. His father slammed the door and left. His mother was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She smashed everything in the house. There was a loud crackling sound from outside, like fireworks at Christmas.

If this was Christmas, then their family would be celebrating Christmas every day.

In terms of family education, his father had no say. His mother was very strict with him. He did not know if she was angry and vented on him, but every time she quarreled with his father, she would come to check his homework.

One wrong word or question would result in severe punishment.

After beating up him, his mother would throw the rattan aside and hold his shoulder. In an extremely stern tone, she ordered him to make a name for himself.

“You must do your best to become the most outstanding person in the Males family. I’m so humiliated in front of your father, and you must bring me honor! Do you hear me? My son has to be the best!”

When he was young, Marc yearned for fatherly love and feared motherly love.

As for the grown–up Marc, he no longer knew what love was. No one loved him, and he would not love anyone.

The only woman who loved him had abandoned him for her family.

In the end, he was still the one who could be abandoned at will.

Actually, death was not a difficult thing.

He was seriously injured and underwent three resuscitations. More than ten notices of critical illness were issued until Dr. Grace arrived, bringing everything to turn around.

He survived, but his heart died.

He lay motionlessly on the bed like a living dead and was unable to take care of himself. He really felt that he might as well die a quick and painless death. He did not know why there was a need for him to live on with such a crippled body.

But his family refused to let him die, and neither did his caregiver.

After he peed his pants again, he was so embarrassed that he begged the caregiver with reddened eyes, “Please let me be euthanized. I’ll be free, and you can be relieved too.”

The caregiver called Pearl replied, “Do you think death is a relief? No, death is just an escape because everyone knows that living is the hardest.”

Not only did she reason with him, but she also began to read books for him.

IOI AND U

Tagore’s “The Birds“, Shakespeare’s “Hamlet“, and Margaret’s “Gone with the Wind“. She did not even miss ancient poems. What she wanted to read every day depended on her mood.

Her voice was crisp and melodious. It was not a broadcasting voice. Instead, it was full of emotions. She talked smoothly when she read novels, and she could always express her emotions when she read poetry collections. However, when she occasionally hummed… it was unpleasant to listen to.

He did not know if it was because the experiences of the characters in the books gave him some strength, but even in those dark days, he actually saw a trace of hope.

Unknowingly, such difficult days had passed.

When his mother forced him to get married, he married her because she was pleasing to the eye and also because he was grateful. He thought that she married him because she pitied him and also because of money.

It was just a marriage in name. He did not take it to heart, but he did not know how much effort the woman he had neglected for three years had spent to save him from the bottom of despair.

The scene in front of him was so familiar. It was as if it had happened yesterday and time had flashed back.

While he was in a daze, the lights in the operating room finally went out.

When Ferris was wheeled out, Viola immediately pounced on him. Lucas also helped to push Ferris into the ward. Marc sat on the bench and did not move. He watched as Pearl dragged her tired feet and was the last to walk out.

His expression changed. Just as he was about to get up and step forward, a figure flashed past his eyes and bypassed the crowd to accurately support Pearl.

A gentle and sunny man, who was also wearing a white coat, wrapped Pearl in his arms and helped her to the lounge.

Marc had stood up at some point in time, but he just stayed where he was and stared at Pearl’s back silently.

That man was Noah. Marc knew that he was also a doctor.

With him taking care of her, she would naturally receive the most appropriate arrangements.

Just as she said, “My life has been smooth sailing for more than 20 years. My parents dote on me, and my brothers protect me. I’ve never suffered any grievances… The greatest storm in my life was brought to me by you.”

Marc’s heart suddenly tightened. It was as if a big hand had grabbed it hard. It was so painful that he gasped. He could barely stand still and sat down again.

He felt a splitting headache like he’d been beaten and was in a daze. He sat on the recliner and rested for a long time before the dizziness gradually disappeared.

Two nurses happened to pass by and saw that his face was so pale that it was almost transparent. They went forward and asked, “Sir, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to get a doctor to take a look?”

“No, thank you.”

Marc politely declined. He slowly stood up and left.

Two nurses stared at his departing figure. One of them said, “This person looks like he’s in a daze. His face is so pale. Could he be suffering from some terminal illness?”

“He’s so young. How is that possible? He looks more like he’s fallen out of love. Could he have been dumped by a female doctor?”

“Huh? That’s even more impossible. Didn’t you see how handsome he is? Which stupid woman would dump him? It’s more likely that he dumps a woman…”

“No way? How can a scumbag be so affectionate?”

“You’re wrong! Since ancient times, most of those who have left behind affectionate poems are scumbags. Some of the male leads in dramas are very affectionate, aren’t they? But when it comes to certain things, they’re still scum.”

“Fine, you win. I have nothing to say.”

11:02 AM

Ferris’s surgery was very successful, but he also paid a huge price. The bones in his entire body were basically shattered and put back together.

If he wanted to recover from high paraplegia, it was a long battle with little hope and painstaking effort. How much he could recover depended on his perseverance and the financial and spiritual help given to him by the others.

It was almost equivalent to a war.

After the surgery, Pearl felt relieved. She was only responsible for the patient’s physical condition. As for the psychological health, Ferris had a girlfriend, so she did not have to worry about it.

It wasn’t easy for her to come to White Town, so Pearl went to the Spencer family to visit Johnathan. Johnathan was overjoyed and actually gave Noah a three–day leave. He asked Noah to show Pearl around.

They went to many scenic spots and ate a lot of delicacies. When Pearl was visiting a shop popular on the internet, Charlie called.

After greeting Pearl briefly, he told Noah that he had agreed to a wine–tasting invitation before he went on a business trip. He originally wanted to bring Noah along, but he could not go now.

“Take Pearl with you. If there’s any good wine, remember to bring me two bottles.”

Noah happily agreed. He drawled, “Okay.” After a few more intimate words, he hung up the phone.

Pearl had goosebumps all over her body. They were always so intimate in front of her.

Noah ignored Pearl’s “I can’t stand you guys” expression and smiled. “White Town’s wine tasting is quite high–class and interesting. Shall I bring you there to have a look?”

Pearl knew that he and Charlie were drunkards. They would never say no to anything about alcohol. They were birds of a feather.

She rolled her eyes at Noah. “Since you’ve already agreed, can I say that I won’t go?”

“Of course not.”

Noah chuckled and pulled Pearl out. He hailed a taxi and went straight to the venue of the wine–tasting party.

“There are a lot of foreigners at the wine–tasting party. They’re all talking in strange languages. I don’t even understand them. You’re a translation machine with me tonight. I’ll rely on you to pick a few bottles of good wine for us tonight.”

“Alright…” Pearl agreed lazily. “I’ll pick the wine, and you pay the bill.”

Noah smiled generously. “No problem.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

He then waved his phone and said, “Anyway, it’s Charlie’s money.”

He was showing off how much they loved each other in front of Pearl again. Pearl felt that she must pick a few more bottles of good wine tonight and make this couple pay more. She would take it as compensation for them displaying their affection in front of her.

However, after seeing two familiar figures at the wine–tasting party, she suddenly had the urge to vomit.

Lucas was waving at her from afar, and Marc, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was shaking his glass of red wine beside Lucas. Pearl’s beautiful face twisted again and again when she saw these two.

She thought, “Did these two bastards put a locator on me? Why do I run into them everywhere I go? It’s so annoying!”

Before she could curse, a graceful figure wiggled her hips and approached Marc with a smile. Pearl recognized her as Miss Clarissa, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Pearl thought, “Oh, so Marc is here to date his ex–girlfriend. I was overthinking.”
