Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 524

Maisie took Stella's hand and led her to the dining room.

Ivy followed them in and took a seat.

Capital City, Metropolitan General.

The doctor had just finished examining Alaric—it was Alcohol Poisoning. They immediately hooked him up to an IV.

Leo Archer sat by his bedside, heart aching and entirely bewildered as he complained.

"Boss, why do you have zero regard for your own health? You got alcohol poisoning in Northport and dragged it out this long before coming to the hospital. What if something serious had happened?"

Alaric lay miserably in the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"She really doesn't care about me at all."

If Ivy loved him, she would have cared enough to notice that he wasn't just drunk, but actually suffering from alcohol poisoning.

The fact that she, a medical professional, completely missed it proved exactly how little she cared.

Leo asked cautiously, "Is Mrs. Foster still insisting on a divorce?"

"Yeah."

Leo looked at his boss's completely defeated expression and felt a deep pang of sympathy.

He had been by the man's side for years.

Never had he seen him reduced to this state over a woman.

And what was Ivy thinking, tossing a man like him aside?

Given his boss's status, women were practically lining up around the block to marry him. Ivy clearly didn't know how good she had it.

Leo probed gently. "Do you still love her? Do you actually want this divorce?"

Swallowing his misery, Alaric admitted the truth.

"I was really furious with her before. She was constantly stressing me out, getting way too close to Xavier."

"But after leaving The Starlight Estate, she didn't go to the Rhodes family, nor did she contact Xavier. She even left behind every single thing I ever gave her."

"It proves she isn't some gold digger, and there's really nothing going on between her and Xavier."

"I honestly can't bear to let her go. I want her to come back so we can live a good life together, but she just won't."

Alaric had never imagined that a day would come when he would be so agonizingly torn apart over a woman, losing his mind entirely.

But Ivy simply didn't want him anymore.

He didn't even know how he was supposed to survive the endless nights without her.
