Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 56

Fay intentionally mentioned going to the hospital in hopes that Chelsea would get worried about Edmund and pay him a visit immediately.

Instead of rising to the bait, Chelsea only paid attention to the report concerning the script. "What? He likes the new version too? Well, that's great! You should go ahead and schedule the meeting as he instructed. It's best we all sit down and discuss both versions."

Fay's heart sank when she didn't get the expected response from Chelsea. She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll inform you about the time and place once I'm done with the necessary arrangements."

"Okay, until then." Chelsea was about to hang up the phone. But Fay suddenly added, "Chelsea, Mr. Nelson is currently hospitalized because of a stomachache."

"Oh? Really? Well, I hope he gets well soon." Chelsea's tone was indifferent and polite at the same time.

It was obvious that she didn't give a damn about Edmund's health now. Fay could do nothing more to stir up her genuine sympathy, so she sighed and hung up.

She walked to the elevator. Just when she was about to press the button, the elevator chimed and the doors swung open. Yusuf walked out with his hands in his pockets.

His face lit up when he saw Fay. He waved and said, "Hey, Fay!"

Yusuf called her name so cheerfully as if they were very close. The smile he had on his face was also gentle.

However, Fay wasn't deceived at all. She knew that he was a playboy, so his friendly behavior came off as flirting in her opinion.

With a fake smile, she stepped back and greeted politely. "Good morning, Mr. Collins."

She was so close to him just now that her face flushed and her heart began to beat faster.

Yusuf smirked and moved closer to her again. "Come on, I don't bite. How about joining my company, Fay? Your boss is overdramatic. I have noticed that you have a hard time taking care of him. On the other hand, I'm unproblematic. Come and work for me. What do you say?"

Fay shook her head and responded, "No, thank you, Mr. Collins. I appreciate your kindness, but I love working for my boss. Please I have to attend to something important now. Goodbye."

She dodged him, ran into the elevator, and pressed the button for the ground floor.

Smiling mysteriously, Yusuf stared at her until the doors of the elevator closed. Fay leaned back and held her chest as she let out a long sigh of relief.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror in front of her. Unlike other young women her age, she was wearing a big pair of black frame glasses and had her hair in a pigtail. Her black and grey suit made her look ordinary. "Get a hold of yourself, Fay. Yusuf can never fall for you. You look nothing like the classy girls that follow him around," Fay cautioned herself, slapping her cheek slightly.

It was a sweet feeling to be in love with someone. But for Fay, it was a burden because she knew that her love for Yusuf would remain unrequited.

Meanwhile, Chelsea dropped her phone and scoffed indifferently. She knew Fay expected her to show more concern for Edmund, but she wasn't going to do that. She purposely played dumb on the phone.

What choice did she have?

They were no longer married, so it wasn't in her place to care about his health.

The responsibility was on Diane now. Only a few minutes ago, pictures of Diane showing up at the hospital to visit Edmund started going viral on social media.

Chelsea wasn't a social media freak who followed all the celebrity gist back to back. She had just gotten wind of the news via Zuri.

Zuri stayed up to date on the lives of popular people because of her line of work.

From the blog post, Chelsea learned that Edmund had been rushed to the hospital late last night due to a stomachache.

"What could have triggered this?" Chelsea muttered to herself. She wondered if his anger towards her caused him to have a stomachache.

Zuri sent her a voice message. Her tone was disdainful. "I can't put up with that silly woman called Diane. Why is she so shameless? Doesn't she care about Edmund at all? She even had the time to dress up and put on makeup while the so-called love of her life was in pain at the hospital. She

definitely lives for unnecessary attention, so she's always ready for the paparazzi to click pictures of her. No matter the situation, she always finds a way to be the trending topic. Such a despicable woman!" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Chelsea didn't utter a word. Her mind traveled back to the past. Edmund had once been rushed down to the hospital at midnight due to a stomachache.

The sight of him in so much pain had made her so nervous. She didn't bother to change out of her nightdress after calling the ambulance. She could only put on a coat and drive with him in the ambulance. During the entire ride to the hospital, she prayed tearfully for him to pull through.

It wasn't until the doctor said that Edmund was fine that she noticed that she looked a mess. Her hair was messy and she still had home slippers on.

But despite everything that she did for Edmund, his heart remained with Diane.

He gave all his love to Diane and was willing to do just about anything for her.
