My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“Hospital?” Emelia frowned slightly. “What’s wrong with you?”

As far as she knew, Oliver had always been in good health.

It was said that kind people didn’t live long, and the scourge could live for a thousand years.

These words were the most suitable for her mother and Oliver.

Oliver snorted. “You’ll know when you come. It’s a very serious illness. It needs a lot of money.”

Emelia immediately understood. It seemed like he was using illness as an excuse for asking her for money. Perhaps he wasn’t sick at all.

But she still said, “Okay, then tell me which hospital you are in. I’ll go to see you.”

Oliver told Emelia the name of the hospital. When she heard that it was the hospital where Arthur was working in, she smiled.

It was good. She could ask Arthur for a favor.

After hanging up, Emelia got changed and went out. After arriving at the hospital, she went to see Arthur first.

Arthur was surprised to see her. “Why, you…?”

Emelia did not hesitate and said directly, “It’s like this. My father is hospitalized here. Would you please help me find out what illness he has?”

“I’m afraid he told his attending doctor in advance and deliberately lied to me.”

Emelia knew very clearly about Oliver. Since he wanted to ask her for money, he naturally had to make up a very serious illness.

Of course, Arthur would help her. He signaled her to sit down first and then called his colleagues to ask.

After hanging up, Arthur threw up his hands and said, “As you expected, he is indeed ill, but he just has some common minor diseases of the elderly. He doesn’t need to be hospitalized at all, but his attending doctor said that he insisted on staying in the hospital.”

Emelia nodded. “Alright, I see. Thank you.”

Arthur smiled and said, “You’re welcome.”

Emelia was silent for a moment, and then she said with some difficulty, “Actually… there’s something else I need your help with.”

Arthur asked, “What’s wrong?”

Emelia said, “Since he’s already hospitalized, I want you to arrange for me to do a DNA test with him.”

“A DNA test?” Arthur almost jumped up from the chair. “Are you suspecting that he is not your father?”

Emelia shook her head and said, “I am sure.”

She had never understood before why Oliver and Taylor were neither good nor close to her.

They had always seen her with disgust. They had showed no affection for her at all.

Later, she realized that she was not his biological daughter at all.

Even her deceased mother was not her biological mother.

All of this was told by her mother before she died. Her mother said with difficulty, “I can no longer protect you in the future, so I have to tell you this secret.”

“They will definitely make advantage of you, in the future, get money from you, and even sell you.”

“When the time comes, don’t be polite to them, don’t be bullied by them, and don’t put yourself at their mercy due to the bond, because… you have no blood relations with them.”

She was the child of a friend of her mother’s. The girl fell in love with a man, but she failed to get married to him.

She was very depressed after giving birth to the child. After she entrusted the child to someone, she died.

That was why Oliver and Taylor hated her so much, because they had to spend more money to raise an extra child.

Fortunately, her mother was a gentle and kind person.

Even if she was not her biological daughter, she still treated her as her own.

Hearing this, Arhtur was completely stunned. He had never known that Emelia had such a background. Most likely, Julian didn’t know either.

Arthur said in confusion, “Since you know it, why do you need to do the DNA test?”

Emelia gave a wry smile. “I have to make preparations for my future. If they insist on saying that I’m their own child, insist on asking me for money and forcing me to support them, I should have some evidence to back me up, shouldn’t I?”

Emelia lowered her eyes and said sadly, “These years, I’ve already done enough to repay them for their upbringing. I imagine you know that they’ve taken a lot of money from Julian.”

They would have lived the rest of their lives without worrying at the price of her three years’ youth and heartache. Wasn’t it enough?

They didn’t know how to cherish it, and squandered all they had, she wouldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Arthur nodded. “That’s true.”

He added, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll ask someone to arrange it for you. He won’t notice it.”

“Thank you.” Emelia handed a bag containing her own hair to Arthur and said seriously, “I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”

Arhur smiled and agreed.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, Emelia left for Oliver’s ward.

Oliver stayed in a triple-room on the third floor. When Emellia entered, Oliver was sitting on the hospital bed, boasting and chatting with others. He didn’t look sick at all.

When he looked up and saw Emelia, he immediately rolled his eyes, raised his hand to cover his chest and lay down on the bed.

Emelia pretended not to see his disguise. She walked over and asked with concern, “Dad, what’s wrong? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?”

Oliver hurriedly opened his eyes. “No need, no need. It’s just that my chest hurts for a while.”

Emelia said, “I consulted your attending doctor just now. He says that your illness is very serious and you will have to stay in hospital for a long time.”

Emelia purposely brought up this topic so that Oliver could take the initiative to bring up the matter of money.

Sure enough, Oliver said, “Yes, maybe there will be surgery. Emelia, look, this is another large sum of money. What should we do?”

Hearing Oliver’s words, the two patients and their reltives turned to look at Emelia.

Emelia took out her mobile phone and said, “Dad, you know that I have just had my job settled, and I don’t have much income. But I still have some money that I had prepared for renting my apartment. I’ll transfer it to you.”

Emelia deliberately revealed her current situation to others, in case Oliver would confuse right and wrong and say that she gave him no money in the future.

Oliver stared at her phone and asked, “How much?”

Emelia replied, “Twenty thousand.”

Oliver was very dissatisfied. “Only 20, 000?”

Emelia’s eyes instantly turned red. “This is all of my savings. I haven’t had a decent job since I divorced. How much do you think I can afford? Besides, didn’t I give you more than a hundred thousand a year ago?”

The patient next to him couldn’t stand it anymore. He persuaded Oliver, “It’s not easy for her. 20, 000 is a large sum. At least it can last for a period of time.”

Another one said, “Yes, yes, she is divorced. Life must be very hard. Don’t make things difficult for her.”

Oliver was very embarrassed, so he had to say, “Okay, okay, then transfer it to me.”

Anyway, he was not sick. After she left, he would leave the hospital and continue to gamble with this money.

He didn’t believe that he couldn’t win a sum after all these years.
