The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 508

Rachel looked just as worried, but she squeezed Jessa’s hand. “Jessa, don’t be scared. Seriously, relax. Those kidnappers and the doctors aren’t going to say a word about us.”

David made his way to Ella’s VIP hospital room. He was about to go inside when Lilly stopped him right at the door.

She stood in front of him, blocking the way. “You’re not going in.”

David frowned. “Allie, move. I want to check on Ella.”

Lilly glared back. “What’s the point now? When Ella needed you most, you weren’t there. So why bother coming now? I bet Ella doesn’t even want to see you.”

David pressed his lips together, silent.

“I really don’t get it. What kind of spell did Jessa put on you? Why are you always on her side? This time, you hurt Ella so much.”

David’s voice sounded rough. “Allie, you don’t understand.”

“You’re right, I don’t. But if you never tell me anything, how could I? Just answer me honestly. Do you really love Jessa that much?” Lilly’s eyes searched his face, like she was hoping for a different answer. She couldn’t believe David really felt nothing for Ella.

David’s hands curled into fists. “It’s not about love. Jessa is my responsibility.”

“Responsibility? What kind of responsibility?”

David didn’t want to get into it. “Allie, let me in.”

“No. Not unless you explain yourself, right here and now. If you don’t clear things up, you’re not seeing Ella. Not ever.”

David finally spoke, his voice low. “Allie, Jessa saved my life once.”

Lilly’s eyes widened. “What?”
