Bye, My Ex-husband

"He's drunk.Go downstairs and make some hangover soup.I'll take it from here."

Gracie knelt down beside Rayan and made herself busy, and then gave the other woman the order in a cold, indifferent voice.

Janessa was feeling panicked at the time, so she turned around and went to the kitchen as she was told.Rayan had never liked strangers getting close to him.Not a single servant was present in the villa.

It was a good thing that he provided her the phone number of the family doctor a few days ago.Calling an ambulance at this time of the night would alert the media, and the consequences would be unimaginable.The mere thought had Janessa's hands and feet going cold with fright.The sizzle of the soup spilling over and hitting the flames brought her back to her senses.

She quickly took down the pot, filled a bowl with soup, and brought it upstairs.She was about to go to the bathroom when she heard a sudden slam resound from the bedroom.

The sound was eerie in the empty villa.Janessa bit her lip and carefully tiptoed to the master's bedroom with the bowl of soup in her hands.

Suddenly, a cold, sharp voice came through a crack of the door.

"What are you doing here?"

The voice was weak, but the harsh demand in the question remained.

Janessa took two steps forward and was about to explain when an even angrier voice boomed out and nearly shattered her eardrums.

"I'm asking you, why are you here? Say something! Why don't you say anything?"Janessa felt a cold shiver down her spine.

Rayan's furious expression flashed in her mind, making her stop in her tracks.

"Janessa told me to come and dress your wound."

Gracie's voice sounded very stable, but the choking feeling behind the words was difficult to ignore.

"Janessa? Janessa! Do you know who Janessa is now? She is my wife, Mrs.

Lu! I have to thank you for all of this! Are you happy now? You must be!"

His teeth gritted, Ryan turned his bloodshot eyes at Gracie in a furious glare.

Gracie pressed her lips tightly, and a trail of tears instantly slipped down her cheeks and hit the back of his hand.

A deep frown appeared on Rayan's forehead.

He had never felt so sorry for her.
