The Loser Ex-Wife Came Back Hot novel Chapter 30

Alaric's eyes grew glassy with unshed tears. He murmured softly, “Thank you, ma'am...”

“Don't mention it. From now on, we're family.”

Mrs. Donald gently smoothed Alaric's hair.

Nova chimed in, “Mom, Dad, you two should head back. I can stay here with him, and I'll just head straight to school from here in the morning.”

Mrs. Donald looked at Nova, then at the exhausted Alaric in the bed.

Figuring it was cruel to leave the sick boy alone in the hospital overnight, she agreed.

Mr. Donald looked a bit concerned. “Should I hire a private nurse to stay with you both?”

“No need, Dad, it's just one night. Just remember to have Clark come pick us up in the morning.”

Seeing her insistence, Mr. Donald couldn't argue, so he finally agreed.

Once her parents left, Nova sat by the bed, softly comforting him. “Get some sleep. You'll never have to break your back working just to survive again, you'll never have to skip dinner, and you'll never be locked out of the house. From today on, we are your family.”

Listening to her gentle voice, Alaric swallowed hard. It took him a long time before he finally managed to choke out a single word. “Okay.”

The night passed peacefully. Early the next morning, Mr. Donald sent their driver to bring Alaric back to the estate.

Since the city hospital wasn't far from Lindenwood Preparatory Academy, Nova simply decided to walk to school.

As luck would have it, Caleb had instructed his driver to pick up Sylvie along the way. The moment they stepped out of the luxury car, holding hands, Nova caught sight of them.

“She might be trying to be nice, but I'm rejecting her kindness. Is that clear enough for you?”

Nova walked right past them without another glance. Sylvie pouted, looking incredibly wronged. “I was only trying to help... Did Nova misunderstand me? I should go explain things to her.”

“You are my girlfriend. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone.”

“But... at the end of the day, I still stole the person Nova loved...”

Sylvie bit her lip, looking the picture of perfect guilt.

Caleb let out a harsh sneer. “Sylvie, you're just too kindhearted. Nova is a malicious, vicious woman. You don't owe her an ounce of guilt.”
