Hunting for His EX-Wife

After hearing the doctor’s words, Rhys’ face quickly sank. He never expected to receive such an answer, even though the previous doctor had said the same thing.

The words “she doesn’t have many days left” weighed heavily on his heart.

“I understand, thank you, doctor,” Rhys accepted the results of his examination and turned back to his hospital room.

“Mom, don’t bother yourself anymore. I know what I’m doing,” he said firmly.

The only reason he married Jenna was for Mrs. Williams’ sake, but now that he was married to her, Mrs. Williams wanted him to divorce Jenna.

As soon as she heard Rhys’ words, Mrs. Williams immediately clutched her chest and looked like she was having a heart attack.

“After all these years, don’t you know what I want? To see you get married and have children so that everything can settle down,” Mrs. Williams said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

She knew she didn’t have much time left and this was her only wish – to watch her child settle down properly with a family of their own.

Rhys knew there was nothing else he could say when he saw how sad his mother looked. He sighed deeply and walked over to stand in front of her.

“Mom, I understand your intentions but fate is something we cannot control easily; right now I don’t want to divorce Jenna.”

Until he figured out what exactly Jenna had been hiding from him all this time, he wouldn’t make any rash decisions about their marriage yet .

“You stubborn child!” Mrs. Williams exclaimed angrily. She couldn’t believe she had gone so far as to say these things but Rhys still held onto his beliefs .

If it weren’t for that incident before, it would be fine. But after everything happened with Jenna, if they continued being together, then wouldn’t Rhys just end up being cheated on?

How could that work?

“I’m doing this for your own good! As your mother, do you think I would harm you? Just listen to me once!” Her tone became more urgent as she spoke.

But no matter how much urgency there might be in her voice, Rhys remained unmoved by anything she said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“This matter is not up for discussion,” Rhys shook his head.

He had had a sexual relationship with Jenna, and after spending so much time together, they had developed some feelings for each other, although it didn’t reach the level of love. He felt protective of Jenna.

What did “not up for discussion” mean?

Mrs. Williams was immediately stunned and became even more dissatisfied with Jenna. She never thought that what seemed like a simple matter would turn into such a big problem.

She had told Jenna to leave Rhys quickly and efficiently. If Jenna had followed her request, how could Rhys say such things now?

Mrs. Williams looked at Rhys with a stern face.

“Tell me honestly, if it’s because Jenna doesn’t want to divorce? If so, then let me talk to her!”

Taking her money and wanting to keep Rhys too?

“What is there to talk about?”

Rhys rubbed his head in frustration as he looked at his mother disapprovingly.

“This matter isn’t as simple as you think it is, Mom. It’s not that Jenna doesn’t want a divorce; I don’t want to let go! We’re already married; why do we need a divorce?”

“Jenna’s mind isn’t on you anymore; what’s the point of keeping her forcibly?” Mrs. Williams couldn’t understand why Rhys was being so stubborn when even after hearing that Jenny wanted separate beds from him.

“You can make her stay, but can you make her love you?”

“But if we divorce now, things will only get more complicated,” Rhys said.

“Divorce is not that complicated,” Mrs. Williams snapped at Rhys. She had other thoughts in her mind. If she couldn’t persuade Rhys, she would have to find a way to convince Jenna.

If Jenna was determined enough and set on leaving, Mrs. Williams didn’t believe that Rhys could stop her.

“That’s enough! I won’t say anything else about it. You figure it out for yourself!” Mrs. Williams abruptly stopped talking; if she kept pushing the issue, they would become enemies!

Rhys breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother wasn’t going to continue the conversation any further; he had no idea how to argue with her anymore.

Regardless of what happened, he couldn’t divorce Jenna now because they had already slept together; it would be too unfair if he didn’t take responsibility for his actions.

Rhys frowned as he thought about that day and wondered if Jenna knew what happened between them or not? Was this why she was reluctant to stay?

He needed to talk with her and clear things up before anything else happened but preferably after she calmed down and stopped threatening divorce all the time.

Rhys rubbed his forehead in frustration before saying goodbye to his mother and leaving quickly.

As soon as Rhys left, Mrs. Williams took out her phone and called Jenna immediately.

“Jenna, you remember what I told you earlier? You promised me. Make sure you keep your word or think about your mom still being in the hospital.”

Jenna clenched her phone tightly upon hearing those words from Mrs. Williams.
