The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Renee took the bus back to her little wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

Her neighbor, Mr. Jones, came running out with a panicked expression. “Joan, you’re finally back! Please check on Van right now. Something’s happened to him!”

“What?!” Renee narrowed her eyes and quickly got out of the bus, rushing into her home.

As she hastily picked up her pace, she accidentally tripped and fell, scraping her knee and throwing the groceries in the bag all over the ground.

“I was just going to get some juice, but Van just climbed up a cherry tree for some reason! He ended up falling, and now he’s unconscious!” Jones explained the situation as he ran with Renee.

Apart from the rows and rows of sunflowers, there was a tall cherry tree in their garden as well. Since it was summer and cherries were in season, the tree was brimming with large, juicy fruits.

Renee had been eyeing the cherries for quite a while, but the tree was just far too tall to climb, which made harvesting quite a difficult task. Hence, she had prepared to borrow a ladder from Jones. However… Jovan seemed to have overheard her and tried to fulfill her wish on his own.
