Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 13

VICTORIA POV

The feeling of once again getting close to him was a kind of strange nauseous to me. I don’t think I can handle that. Moreover, there are lots of willing people to take care of him.

I was about to deny the proposal, but aunt Gina beat me to it. “Mrs. Devonte?” Her eyes narrowed at me in suspicion. “Didn’t you just say you were divorced a few ago? How come you are still Mrs. Devonte?”

I almost rolled my eyes at her but controlled myself. I don’t want to create any scene in the hospital and remain calm as much as possible.

“Yes, we are divorced, and that happened just this morning. Unfortunately, the doctor didn’t know it; at that time, it was impossible to describe all of it. Try to understand the situation.” I replied as the doctor stared at me, a little taken aback.

“Wait!” Gina widened her eyes like a hypocrite. “Did you just sign the formal papers in the hospital? How are you doing that!? You are not a family anymore!”

I really can’t believe this woman. She is still caring about everything except Alessandro. And dare to call herself his family member?

“Did you see the audacity of this woman, mom? What a pathetic bitch! And she even said she didn’t demand anything from the property! She...”

“Miss Devonte...” The doctor stopped her in the middle. “When Mr. Devonte arrived in the hospital, he was fighting for his life. It was very urgent to operate on him at that moment. If we were to wait for you, his real family members, you wouldn’t see him alive anymore. So, that lady over there signed it as someone who used to be his family member.”

I am really grateful to the doctor. At least he cares more than his family members and knows it is a needy situation.

“But...” Gina was still not convinced when Grandma stopped her.

“It’s alright, Gina. At least she could do this much after eating his money for three years.”

Well, none of them knows how to talk about bringing money in each sentence, do they?

Grandma turned to the doctor again, ignoring me completely, “You said someone needs to stay here for the patient?” She patted her old chest. “I will stay with my child. I will take care of him.”

Doctor shook his head, getting uncomfortable in the situation. “Ma’am, I appreciate and understand your love for your grandson, but he needs someone who can properly care for him. It may sound offensive, but he needs someone healthy beside him.”

“Doctor is right, mom,” Gina spoke. “I know a nanny; I’ll send her right away. You don’t have to worry, mom.”

“No! No need for a nanny!” Grandma denied it hurriedly.

“But why, mom? She is good. Trust me.” Gina argued as I watched their drama standing behind me.

Grandma shook her head and then suddenly looked up at me. “You stay here and take care of him.”

Her words really surprised me. Oh, she wanted me to leave his side, yet she insisted I stay here and care for his grandson. Did the sunrise from the west today?

“This woman is a spoilsport; how can she take good care of Alessandro? Mom? What is wrong with you?”

Both started arguing while I was in my thoughts, hardly listening to them.

What happened today has a connection with me; though I never asked for his help, he volunteered himself and got hurt in between. And I am grateful to him for saving me.

Somewhere, this situation made me guilty inside, thinking of Dominique. I could not save him that time, but I don’t want the same situation again. “I will stay and take good care of him.”
