Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

"I know," Edmund whispered, holding Chelsea tightly in his arms.

He didn't need to be told that she hated him.

Previously, he thought she could never get over him and that she was only playing the game of cat and mouse with him. It wasn't until recently that he found out that she wanted nothing to do with him.

The people close to him had always hurt her while he turned a blind eye. Why would she want to have anything to do with him when she always faced oppression?

Chelsea was up against three vicious women. Diane and his mother had come after her. Now, Sonya did the same. Edmund regretted ignoring her in the past. When he was in the situation himself today, he could imagine her vulnerable state every time she had suffered and put up with a lot of torture like this before.

"I hate you! I hate you so much!" Chelsea cried hysterically, thumping his hard chest with her small fist.

All the sadness she kept buried swamped her now. She had never felt this way in her entire life.

Her painful cries suddenly ceased and she fainted in Edmund's arms.

"Chelsea! Wake up!" Edmund cried, patting her red cheek.

At this time, the group of policemen handcuffed Sonya and the two hooligans and took them out. One of them walked to where Edmund was and said, "You should take her to the hospital. It seems she needs urgent medical attention. I can drive you to the closest hospital. I'm quite familiar with the roads."

With Usain Bolt's speed, Edmund rushed to his car and got in the backseat with Chelsea in his arms. The policeman got behind the wheel and drove to the hospital hurriedly.

When Sonya saw that her brother was in panic mode because of Chelsea, she stamped her feet hard and stared at the car until it disappeared.

"How dare Edmund set his dignity aside because of that woman?

He used to hate Chelsea with every fiber of his being. Why was he so concerned about her now? Is something wrong with his brain? This is so annoying!" Sonya cursed, breathing exasperatedly.

None of the policemen paid attention to her. They opened the doors of their car, intending to shove her and her cohorts into it.

The legs of the man with colorful hair suddenly felt weak. He shouted at Sonya, "Miss Nelson, you have to do something. Please protect us!"

The two hooligans were ex-convicts. They had gotten light sentences because they were only petty thieves. They had just gotten out of prison.

It took them only a few days to go back to their old ways. This time around, they engaged in kidnapping because it was more profitable.

The offer was even juicier because Sonya assured them that the Nelson family would protect them.

But now that the police arrested them and Edmund seemed to not give a damn about Sonya, getting help was very bleak. They feared that they were only one foot away from jail.

The policeman, who was behind them gave the crying hooligan a knock and scolded him. "Shut up! It's pointless to call for help. No one will protect you now!"

The two kidnappers burst into tears as soon as they heard this. They regretted taking up such a dirty job. They realized that it was stupid of them to have believed everything that Sonya said.

Meanwhile, Edmund arrived at the hospital with Chelsea. He made sure she was attended to immediately. After examining her, the doctor said, "Not to worry, she isn't in danger. She only fainted because her brain didn't get enough oxygen while she was frightened. She will come around very soon."

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor added, "Although her physical health isn't compromised, I suspect that her mental health is. She might suffer from post-traumatic stress since she was kidnapped. Her mental health needs to be prioritized. As her relation, you have to be there for her. Make sure she doesn't plunge into depression or suffer from panic attacks too frequently."

Edmund's heart sank again.

Chelsea was a soft woman. Now that she went through such a traumatic experience, Edmund was afraid that she would have a hard time.

The urge to strangle Sonya took over him again.

He grunted, clenching his fists. He would have beaten his sister to a pulp if she was a man.

The two slaps he gave her weren't enough to vent his anger.

The policeman left after confirming that the victim was in stable condition. It was at this time that Fay and Yusuf arrived in a hurry.

Fay had purchased a shirt on her way here, as asked by Edmund.

When she arrived at Chelsea's ward, she saw that she was still in a coma. She sat by her bedside and waited nervously.

Yusuf followed his friend to the hospital's garden. Edmund smoked a cigarette without uttering a word. It was obvious that he was trying to expel the fury that was burning inside him.

After keeping quiet for a long time, Yusuf finally broke the silence. "Dude, what are you going to do about this?"

"I'll do as the law suggests," Edmund responded without hesitation.

"You aren't serious, are you? If you leave this to the police to handle, your sister will be sent to jail." Yusuf was appalled that Sonya could go to this extent. But he didn't think Edmund would want her to be jailed.
