Bye, My Ex-husband

From then on, no matter how busy Janessa got, she went back to the villa every single night.

The reason why she did that was to remind Rayan that she was not afraid of anything, especially on the matter of their marriage.

But after their violent confrontation, Rayan had never shown up or called her.

It seemed that he had dropped off the face of the earth.

But despite that, Janessa was happy to stay alone in the villa.

In fact, she was slowly learning to prefer not having another person around.

She was starting to love the peace and quiet.

Every night, she slept alone on a big bed of more than two meters wide, relaxed and comfortable.

One night, she was half-asleep when she heard her phone vibrate.

She frowned and fumbled around on the bed.

The bright light from her phone screen stung her eyes.

It blinded her momentarily.

Without checking who was calling, she answered her phone.

"Hello.

Are you Fannie Hu's family?"

A cold voice greeted her ears.

Fannie Hu? What happened to her mother? After hesitating for a few seconds, Janessa nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Yes.

She's my mother.

What's going on?"

"Your mother had a cerebral hemorrhage.

She was just rushed here at the hospital.

She's in critical condition.

Please come as soon as you can."

The caller's emotionless words were like cold water that had been poured down Janessa's head.

They instantly dispelled her sleepiness.

She quickly sat up and put her phone on speaker.

She turned on the bedside lamp and started putting on her clothes.

"Where is she right now? Do whatever it takes to save her life! You arrange her operation right away, and I'll pay for it as soon as I get there! I don't care how much it costs! Just save my mother!"

Panic had set in, shaking Janessa’s voice.
