The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Grace’s heart clenched with pain. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have truly realized how much suffering Eder had endured for her in the past, carrying the heavy burden of injuries. Guilt, self-blame, and sadness filled her. Her mind was in a chaotic state as Eder led her away from the Grant family, holding her hand. It wasn’t until they were in the car that she, with her eyes red, resembled a startled little rabbit. Eder embraced her, kissed her forehead, and spoke with a tinge of self-reproach, “Scared you? It’s all my fault. There’s nothing pleasant about such a bl oody scene. I should have let Eric take you out.” Grace’s nose tingled with acidity as she buried her small face into his neck and sobbed softly. “It’s me who should apologize. I only now realize how much you suffered from the previous whippings. It’s despicable that I didn’t even offer you a word of comfort and instead scolded you. I was truly terrible.” “Nonsense.” Eder cupped her tear-stained face and spoke carnestly, “Hitting is love, scolding is affection. If you scold me, it means you love me dearly. I’m so happy about it.” “What twisted logic was this?” Grace knew he was trying to cheer her up, but it didn’t lessen her sense of guilt. Her eyes shimmered with tears. “It’s all in the past. My injuries healed a long time ago, without leaving a scar. I don’t feel any pain at all.” Eder leaned down, his cold lips patiently kissing away her tears. “Your tears are more precious to me than the black pearls of Notija. Stop crying, or I’ll go bankrupt.” He successfully made Grace laugh. “Smooth talker, who taught you that?” Eric, who was focused on driving, noticed Grace’s gaze and quickly defended himself, “Miss Grace, please don’t misunderstand! I’ve never been in a relationship before. I’m a pure and innocent boy!” “Tine.”

Since he had never been in a relationship, there was no need to make things difficult for the innocent boy. poor, Eder held her small hand through his suit and gently placed it on his chest. I’m not smooth-talking or deliberately trying to cheer you up. Can you feel my sincerity like this?”

Grace cautiously pressed her palm against his chest, feeling his heartbeat and finding it sweet. er, from now on, let me pamper you!” She smiled playfully, leaning closer to his lips and giving him a gentle kiss. Eder closed his eyes and passionately responded to her kiss. A hint of ambiguous strawberry scent lingered in the car. Eric tightened his grip on the steering wheel and occasionally glanced in the rearview mirror, feeling quite overwhelmed. Dam n it! They were torturing him with their intimate actions from such a close distance! His heart was hurting! The Millionaire and His Billionaire Ex-wife Could they show some mercy to his fragile, long-time single dog heart? After a few minutes of deep kissing in the car, Eder took the initiative to end it. Grace caressed his face and noticed something unusual. “Why is your face so pale? And your body feels so cold. Are you feeling unwell or cold?” Eder shook his head. “I just had major surgery, so it’s normal for my complexion to be off.” “But…” Grace was about to ask further when Eder interrupted her. “Are you planning to return to the Smith family?” Eric glanced at the rearview mirror, understanding Eder’s intention, and took the initiative to speak, “Indeed, Lord, there seems to be an important meeting at the Grant family today, and you must attend.” He pretended to check the time. “We still have two hours before the meeting. Shall we go there later?” Eder had work matters to attend to, so Grace didn’t want to say anything more. “Alright, but I won’t go

back to the Smith family. Just drop me off at Angle Building. We’re going to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony in a couple of days, so I need to make arrangements.” Eric turned the car around and drove to the entrance of Angle Building- Before getting out of the car, Eder kissed Grace’s forehead. “Don’t rush to leave tonight. I’ll come to pick you up, and we’ll have dinner together.” Grace obediently nodded, opened the car door, and left. However, she turned back multiple times, waving her hand and smiling sweetly at him. Eder rolled down the car window, waved back, and smiled as he watched her. It was only when her figure had completely disappeared into the building that Eder could no longer suppress the sweetness in his throat. He quickly closed the window, clenched his fist against his lips, and coughed lightly. His slender fingers stained with patches of crimson. Eric’s face turned pale. “Boss, are you coughing up blood again?” “Go to the laboratory.” Eder furrowed his brows tightly, elegantly wiping away the blood from hist lips and hands with a tissue, his dark eyes fixed on the bloodstains, gloomy and lifeless. The Laboratory. Dr. Mark, a young doctor, was conducting another virus serum assay. After half an hour, the atmosphere in the laboratory became tense. “It was well suppressed before. How come it’s spreading again? Eder, did you get seriously injured again?” Eder remained silent. Seeming to complain about his age, “Yesterday, BOSS got shot on a mission. It was just two centimeters away from hitting his heart. To win Miss Grace back, he even pretended to be in pain at the emergency room entrance!” Dr. Mark’s expression turned serious as he took off his lab coat and examined his wounds. To his surprise, he saw bruises all over his body, shocking him!

How desperate was he for physical intimacy! “You know you just had surgery, lost a lot of blood, and your resistance would be weakened! Yet you expose yourself to cold air, move around randomly, and… engage in intense physical activity! You really have no regard for your life!” In front of the doctor, Eder lost his aggressive demeanor and whispered in defense, “You see, it was Grace who slept with me. I didn’t do anything.” Seeming amused, Dr. Mark glanced at Eder and the other doctor. Dr. Mark couldn’t help but reevaluate the ambiguous marks on his body, sighing with envy. “Wow, Eder, how does it feel to be with a woman and sleep with her? Is it pleasurable?” Being men, Eder didn’t have much to hide. With a dark face and a threatening tone, he said. “I’m da mn pleased!” Dr. Mark and the other doctor couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Eder’s expression turned cold and fierce as he shot a menacing glance at both of them. Dr. Mark immediately composed himself, “Ahem… well… next time, try to restrain yourself a bit. Even if you’re the one on the receiving end, this kind of activity will always promote blood circulation. You just had surgery, and your body is too weak, you know!” “Okay,” Eder replied softly. Dr. Mark conducted a comprehensive examination of his internal condition. After half an hour, the examination results were out, and the room regained its solemn atmosphere. In the deathly silence, Dr. Mark sighed. “Due to your significantly decreased resistance, the virus has spread rapidly and is now affecting your heart’s blood supply. Eder, you might experience angina in the future.” Eder clenched his lips tightly, his dark eyes deep, lost in thought. Eric was very worried, “Is there a risk to his life?” “Not at the moment, but he needs to control his emotions. I’ll prescribe medication, and if he experiences an attack, he should take one. Don’t bear the pain.” Dr. Mark continued, “Also, my suppressant currently has an effect on you. Although there is no

immediate life-threatening danger, if the virus continues to spread, I can’t guarantee what other complications may arise. Your life is also an unknown variable to me.” After these words, the room fell into a long silence.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
