Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 71

Just as Irene finished discussing matters with Elio, Claudia entered the ward with some homemade soup.

She had returned home earlier to cook when Irene woke up.

"Irene, I've made some hot soup for you. You must be feeling hungry and weak after giving birth, so this will warm you up," Claudia said concernedly.

She felt quite distressed when she saw how weak Irene was.

"That's right. Irene, you should eat the soup that Claudia has kindly prepared for you. After your recovery, you'll be fully prepared to handle matters and take care of your child," Elio said sincerely.

He hoped that Irene could move on from all this hurt and return to her confident self.

"Okay, I'll eat and get better soon! Don't worry too much about me," Irene said with a chuckle.

Truth be told, she didn't have the appetite to eat. She forced a few sips of soup down so as not to worry both of them.

Irene had been awake for a few hours now, but Edward was still nowhere to be seen. The despair in her heart grew.

"Does he not want to see me? Or is he at Celine's place again?" Irene thought.

Right now, Irene had no energy or desire to ask Edward about Celine or his refusal to lend money to the Jones family.

All she wanted was to bring her daughter with her and start a new life in another city.

"Irene, Edward is on his way here. I asked him to personally deal with the scandal, and he'll be back as soon as he's done. I just hope both of you can live happily in the future, without anyone destroying your marriage."

Claudia had experienced the deep pain of having a third person between her own marriage. Naturally, she didn't want to see that happen to her son's marriage.

"I don't want Irene to go through the pain I suffered," Claudia thought.

"Thanks, mum. Sorry to make you worry about us," Irene said, not wanting Claudia to worry about them at such an old age.

Of course, Irene knew that Claudia meant well.

When Claudia was young, her husband had an affair with his mistress and even had an illegitimate child with her. It hurt her so deeply that she decided to leave her child behind and travel abroad by herself.

Just imagine how much suffering she had to have gone through to make her abandon her own child. After all, no mother would leave their child willingly.

"Irene, you don't have to be so formal with me—we're family now. As a mother, I also wish for my child's happiness."

As Claudia talked about such matters, she recalled that Edward was still a young child when she went abroad. She felt quite guilty and wanted to repay him twice as much.

"Enough, I know that both of you want my precious grandson to be happy. Just treat him well."

Madeline happened to hear the conversation between Irene and Claudia as a servant pushed her wheelchair into the ward.

She was really pleased.

It seemed that she had selected a lady that loved her grandson. Most importantly, their child had just been born.

Madeline was happy to know she still had a chance to meet and hold her great-grandchild despite her old age. She had once thought she might not have the opportunity to.

"I can finally pass away peacefully with no regrets," Madeline thought.

"Mum, you're here..."

"Grandma."
