Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 112

VICTORIA'S POV...

The next morning, firstly, I went to the hospital, where John's mother was admitted. And I am glad that he at least didn't lie about his mother.

His mother was really sick and needed a huge sum of money for her treatment. It was really hard for John to arrange that huge amount in such a short time.

When he saw me, he was stunned at first. He thought I was there to send him to prison. But then, I removed his fear with a smile as we sat in the hospital canteen.

He seemed awkward seeing me and kept his head lower. "What are you doing here if you don't want me to send you to prison?"

I smiled at him, shaking my head. "I am just here to see your mother." Hearing my words, he raised his head in disbelief. "T... to see my mother?" His tone came out as a whisper.

I nodded.

"Yes, to see your mother. Well, I know even though what you did was so wrong. But, I also understand the situation you were in. You were desperate to save your mother and were pressured by your boss. Even though this one reason does not justify your action, I decided to let it go, if only you promise to never involve in such a matter."

He immediately stood up from his sit and bowed at me. "Miss Edwards, you are the kindest person I have ever met! I always thought rich people are the cruelest but you changed my thoughts. I am so sorry, for what I did. I know, my deed is unforgivable but, I promise never to do this to anyone ever again. I have learnt my lesson. I am so sorry."

"Okay, now sot down. I have something for you." I said and he blinked in confusion, wiping his tears away and then settled on his seat again.

Soon, I brought out the check from my bag and handed it to him. He blinked in confusion at first and then realising what I gave to him, his eyes widened in shock and his face turned pale.

"Y... You..." His lips parted but nothing came out.

I shook my head only. "It's not my own money but it's the prize money I got from holding the first position in the exhibition. I earned the scholarship and the money." I said truthfully.

"But, I do not require money, but you are. So, I decided to give you this and kept the scholarship only. I guess, it would help you with your mother's medication. And yeah..."

I once again opened my bag and brought out a card. "I know you lost your job. Honestly, I have seen your real designs and they are worthy. I like your designs and apart from E Shine, I have planned to open my own personal design studio on my own. Recently, I need an assistant there to help me. The salary is not high like other companies, as it's just a new plan of mine. But, I would give you an amount of survival. Would you like to join?"

Taking the card from my hand, John sat there quietly and blankly for some time. And then suddenly stood up from his chair and came before me and went on his knees.

I sat straight in confusion. "You..."

"Thank you so much, ma'am. Are you asking if it's enough? No! It's more than enough! I never thought that I would meet such a kind soul like you! I promise I would be the loyal one beside you, always!" He cried and kept thanking me.
