Chased by my Ex Husband novel Chapter 6

Ethan

“ Sister in law?” A frown marks my forehead.

“ Ethan...” Suddenly, Lily gasps.

I look to my right to find her body going limp. Before she can hit the floor, I grab her waist and hold her up.

“ Lily? ” I pat her pale cheek.

These bastards have done it. They made this poor girl faint because of heartache.

“ Doctor, check on her! ” I shout.

The doctors and nurses standing beside Grace rush in our direction.

“ Shift the patient to a room.” The doctor issues the order.

“ If something happens to her, I will not let you rest Grace. You should know I won’t let you go anymore! ” I hiss at the girl who is supposed to be my wife.

“ Oh? ” She snorts. “ Well, I hope she doesn’t die yet. I want her to suffer until her miserable end. ”

I can’t believe my ears. Her words are poisonous.

All this while, she sweet talked and continued to smile like a fool. I thought she was easy-going and caring but it turns out...She was simply a snake in hiding.

Now, she is showing her true colours.

“ I will deal with you later. ” I hiss to hide my shock.

“ Hurry up, Mr. Calder. ” The doctor urges.

Immediately, I pick up Lily in my arms and rush out of Grace’s room.

“ Remember the divorce, Ethan Calder! I can’t bear to be your wife for a minute longer. ” The crazy woman shouts hatefully.

I grit my jaw and carry Lily to another private room.

Right now, this poor girl needs all my focus. She was wronged three years ago. That’s not enough for Grace. That’s why she is torturing Lily again.

I can’t believe that I once thought about falling in love with Grace. But I can’t be blamed.

She was sweet. Her body was sinful. Her smile made the world brighten up.

With her, I felt my heart full and my body satiated.

Who knew what she was hiding behind that perfect girl act?

If Lily had not returned and told me everything, I would have been fooled forever. Grace would have continued her ventures with different men, cheating behind my back all the while telling me that she loved me.

Something burns inside my chest whenever I think about what she did.

However, her behaviour from earlier is worrying me.

Why did she keep screaming that I killed my child? That bastard couldn’t have belonged to me, right?

“ Nothing seems to be wrong with her. ” The doctor mumbles in confusion.

“ What do you mean? ” I hiss angrily.

“ Mr. Calder. She seems to be alright. I– ”

“ Ethan! ” Lily screams, sitting up in the hospital bed.

Startled, I cup her cheeks and make her face me. “ Hey, I am right here. What happened? ”

“ Ethan, Oh God. ” Tears stream down her cheeks as she holds my hands.

“ Lily... ”

“ Ethan, they will hurt me again. Please, please save me. ” She cries out and hides her face in my chest.

“ I am here, Lily. No one will touch you. ” Anger swirls behind my eyes while I pat her soft hair to bring her out of that trance.

“ Ethan, he burned me. He—He beat me and he forced me to do bad things. ” She keeps sobbing hysterically.

I can’t believe that this is the strong woman I fell in love with. Three years ago, Lily was the epitome of strength and kindness.

But all because of Grace, she had to leave me and marry that psychopath Sebastian Roberto. That man abused her emotionally and physically.

That’s why Lily is like this.
