Hunting for His EX-Wife

That night, Jimmy was forcibly sent home by Bryce. To kept him from losing control due to missing Anna too much, Bryce stayed with him for a night.

The next morning, Jimmy, who had not slept all night, left the room.

Bryce was brewing coffee when he heard a commotion and immediately walked out of the restaurant. When he saw Jimmy about to leave, he quickly stood in front of him to block his way.

“Jimmy, snap out of it! She’s gone, and the fact can’t be changed no matter how you searched.” Bryce earnestly persuaded him with a heavy heart.

Jimmy lifted his head, and in his bloodshot eyes were full of sadness and pain that he couldn’t hide.

“I need to numb myself with work now. Maybe… it can help me temporarily forget reality.”

His hoarse voice highlighted his pain at the moment.

Bryce sighed, he understood Jimmy’s longing for Anna, but…

“Are you sure your body can handle the heavy workload? I don’t want you to collapse,” Bryce asked with a serious tone, his eyes showing concern for Jimmy.

“I’m fine.”

Knowing that Jimmy had made up his mind, Bryce had no choice but to take him to the Harrison Group.

When Jimmy returned to the office, his face was haggard as if he could collapse at any moment. This startled Randall, who stayed by his side, afraid that he would faint due to weakness in the next moment.

“Please arrange more work for me and fill up all my time. I don’t want any free time.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jimmy, who was buried in the documents, ordered with an expressionless face.

“But… are you sure?”

Jimmy frowned slightly. “Make arrangements.”

Randall had no choice but to start organizing the new schedule.

For the next day, Jimmy didn’t eat anything except for drinking coffee to keep himself alert.

Watching his CEO constantly using work to numb himself and temporarily forget all the pain, Randall was worried.

“You go out first, I want to be alone for a while.”

After reading the last document, Jimmy spoke in a hoarse voice, slowly.

Randall nodded and, although worried, still left the office and considerately closed the door.

Jimmy dragged his exhausted body, as if he could collapse at any moment, to the window and looked out into the distance.

Anna, how are you doing over there?

You even… never appeared in my dreams.

Jimmy felt a sharp pain in his heart, and mist appeared in his eyes.

The scene of his mother picking up Anna and bringing her home when they were young flashed before his eyes.

Although they only spent a few months together, those beautiful and pure moments were deeply engraved in his heart.

“Jimmy, you cannot leave me behind. We must stay together forever.”

Jimmy saw Anna standing in front of him, with her hands on her hips and a serious expression on her face, as if she was commanding him. Her crisp and pleasant voice echoed clearly in his ears.

“Okay, I will always hold your hand and let’s grow up together.”

Jimmy vividly remembered his promise to Anna, but…

Tears that had been hidden and suppressed for a long time, finally fell uncontrollably.

After several days of work, Jimmy broke down physically. During a five-hour conference, he persisted, but passed out from the pain.

His fainting scared the employees who were in a meeting, and they quickly sent him to the hospital.

Upon receiving the news, Bryce rushed to the hospital immediately.

After a thorough examination by the doctor, Bryce received Jimmy’s medical report half an hour later. He came to the ward with a solemn expression on his face.

When Bryce saw Jimmy struggling to get out of bed, he was really angry. He went straight to the bedside.

“Jimmy, you can torture yourself, but don’t forget your parents. You can free yourself by killing yourself, but what about your parents and the Harrison Group? Do you have the heart to leave all these behind?” Bryce shouted at Jimmy.

Jimmy’s eyes were now dull and lifeless, as if all vitality had been lost.

Bryce sighed and placed the results of his physical examination report in front of him.

“Severe gastric bleeding. The doctor instructed that you must take good care of your body and not overwork yourself, otherwise you won’t be able to handle it. I believe Anna wouldn’t want to see you in a state of despair now that she’s in heaven.”

“Gastric bleeding?” Jimmy looked at the handwriting on the test report and a hint of self-mockery curved his lips.

“Do I need to tell your parents not to come back home for now?” Bryce asked softly.

Jimmy had a pained expression on his face. He remembered telling his parents who were abroad half a month ago that he had found Anna, and that he had decided to make her his wife.

His parents liked Anna, so when they heard about finding her, his mother wanted to come over immediately to see their future daughter-in-law, but now…

“I’ll personally talk to them,”

Bryce nodded in agreement. To prevent Jimmy from sneaking back to work after he left, Bryce stayed at the hospital until one week later when the doctor announced that Jimmy could be discharged from the hospital.

Bryce helped him with all necessary procedures. After helping Jimmy into his car, Bryce asked, “How about you stay at my place for now?”

Jimmy shook his head; although he had undergone treatment and rest for a week, but… his face was still as pale as paper.”There are many memories of me and her in our house; these memories are all I have left.” Jimmy said lightly with an unmistakable depression in his eyes.

Under Jimmy’s insistence, Bryce drove him back home where Anna’s faint fragrance lingered in the air around them. Jimmy greedily took several breaths of it. His gaze fell on a photo frame placed on top of their bedside table where they were intimately leaning against each other with sweet yet happy smiles plastered across their faces.

He picked up the frame and planted a deep kiss onto Anna’s face captured within…
