The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 29

Mrs. Donald couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge the woman. She simply guided Alaric toward their car.

Nova saw that Alaric's fever was burning out of control. After taking that vicious slap from Mrs. Langdon, he was already teetering on the edge of consciousness.

She recalled how, in her past life, Alaric had been found by The Garrison Family and eventually inherited control of their empire. Over the years that followed, he had engaged in an all-out, ruthless corporate war against Caleb. Now, it was obvious that the deep-seated hatred stemmed from the relentless abuse he suffered at the Langdons' hands.

Nova said, “Mom, his fever is way too high. We need to take him to the hospital immediately.”

“Yes, to the hospital.”

Having been rattled by the chaotic confrontation, Mrs. Donald quickly snapped back to her senses and instructed the driver, “Clark, hurry, drive to the hospital.”

“Right away, ma'am.”

Mrs. Donald looked with sheer heartache at Alaric, who had slumped into Nova's arms. “This poor boy hasn't had a mother since he was little, and he's had to endure such a hellish life at the Langdon house. It's truly tragic.”

“Mom, from now on, Alaric is family. With us backing him, no one will ever dare lay a finger on him again.”

Hearing her daughter's resolute words, Mrs. Donald nodded with immense relief. “I was worried you wouldn't be okay with this. You really are wonderful, Nova.”

How could Nova not be okay with it?

Completely aside from the monumental power Alaric would hold in the future, he had already helped her time and time again. She could never stand by and watch him continue to suffer in that house.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Mr. Donald let out a heavy sigh. He never could have imagined Mrs. Langdon would be so depraved as to brutally abuse a child.

He had been close friends with Alaric's father for years. There was no way he could just abandon his old friend's son to such torment.

Mr. Donald turned around. “Nova, I had the staff prep the bedroom right next to yours for Alaric. Keep a close eye on him. The boy has become entirely too isolated, and it'll make him an easy target in the outside world.”

“Don't worry, Dad. I'll take great care of him.”
