Getting My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 123 Falling Sick



However, they ran into Hansen in the backyard of Ink Garden. Jenna would always remember the scene of Hansen being furious. His face was almost red in color; even the muscles on his handsome face were distorted. He looked really terrifying back then. His gaze was cold, without a hint of warmth, and they were full of hatred for her and her father.

Jenna had met him on campus before, but he usually only had a cold expression on his face. He never looked at her directly, and he would walk away immediately when she was around, as if she was sick with something contagious.

However, that day, he was so terrifying; even the hatred in his eyes was so strong.

She was scared at the time, and told her father that she no longer wanted to marry Hansen after they got home.

However, her father, who had always been open-minded, did not agree. He insisted on their marriage, regardless of her objections.

After so many years, she still did not know why her father insisted on her marrying Hansen despite knowing his personality. Wasn’t he pushing her into trouble?

Later, she believed that her father sold her to the Richards family for the sake of his career. If she had insisted a little bit at that time, or even threatened to die, perhaps the events thereafter would not have happened at all.

It was just that she really loved Hansen at that time so she did not insist. She also believed that feelings could be cultivated after marriage.

“Isn’t it clear enough already? What more evidence do you want? It was that car in Richards Group that killed your father. Who else would dare to drive that car out if not Hansen?” Norton’s poisonous words penetrated Jenna’s mind, little by little.

Jenna’s head was in great pain after listening to him. Her face was pale, and she stood up swaying. Everything including the past and the present was slowly replaying in her mind.

Hansen’s torture and demand on her, his reactions after knowing that Aria attempted suicide, as well as him scolding her for being vicious. He couldn’t see Aria’s tricks, but instead, he accused her. Obviously, Aria was the one who had framed her, causing them to misunderstand each other for so long. However, he never even scolded Aria once, and yet he scolded Jenna so badly. Wasn’t everything enough to prove a point?

He had never said that he loved her. It was impossible for him to love her too. What kind of relationship did she have with Hansen? She couldn’t even tell herself, but it was clear that it was just a deal between both of them since the beginning.

However, she was still having fantasies about him until now, even insisting on going her own way.

She somehow managed to get out of the teahouse and wandered on the road like a zombie. Even her shadow was swaying under the street lamps.

It was windy, and soon it was drizzling. The weather was cold.

“Look, it’s snowing.” Someone in the crowd yelled, and immediately everyone around became excited. “It’s snowing!”

Suddenly, there was an outburst of cheering from the crowd.

The snow hit her body but she had no response and continued walking aimlessly.

When she returned to Richards Manor, it was already late at night. She walked into Green Jade Garden in despair. The living room was dark and the workers were already asleep. She gently opened the door and went straight upstairs.

She changed her clothes then fell asleep with her wet hair.

As if she had been seriously ill, she laid on the bed silently. Her mind was blank, and she slept until the next morning.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

When she woke up in the morning, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly again.

Even the weather was getting stranger every year.

Jenna felt cold, very cold.

She still felt cold even after she put on her down jacket. Her head seemed to hurt even more. Her mouth was dry and she could not taste anything.

She knew that it was because of the cold weather as well as her wet hair the night before; she had probably caught a cold.

She finally managed to drive the car into the basement of the International Kinsey Center. Her headache was still persistent and got even worse when she was on her feet.

“Ms. Murphy, Mr. Tobey from Green Mountain Automobile City called to ask. He wants to know when the technicians will depart, and who’s going to lead them?” Fiona politely greeted Jenna as soon as she saw her.

Only then did Jenna remember what she had promised the day before. She promised to take the technicians abroad that day. She then touched her forehead and immediately asked, “How many technicians did Mr. Tobey choose?”

“Fifteen of them,” Fiona checked the documents and answered.

“Okay, tell them to wait for me at the airport,” she said without hesitation. “You, immediately book seventeen tickets to Los Angeles, then inform Reeva to follow me too.”

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and she must personally invite a professional technician back to Green Mountain Automobile City to guide the transformation. Her hard work could not be messed up by Green Mountain Automobile City. She must be responsible for her design as well as for Richards Group.

“Okay, Vice President Murphy.” Fiona went to book the tickets. When Jenna returned to the office, there were some other matters that needed her instructions. Thinking that she would not be around for the following days, she forced herself to arrange the workload for the next few days.

The morning passed quickly.

At noon, her head hurt even more. She didn’t want to eat at all. She stood up and went to the hospital to visit her mother as well as Trevor.

“Uncle Richards, I am going abroad tomorrow in order to solve the technical and production issues of luxury cars. I might have to stay for several days so I will not be able to visit you for the time being. You must be well and get better as soon as possible. Trust me, I’m doing this for the sake of Richards Group. I will definitely make the luxury car project a successful one, as my apology to you,” she explained in a low voice while giving him a gentle massage.

Trevor’s face was pale, and his entire body remained motionless. After so many years, he hadn’t gotten better, and he was getting older. It would be near impossible for him to recover.

Jenna walked out, depressed. She had a headache as well as a sore throat, so she bought some medicine for her cold at the hospital.

In fact, her body had not fully recovered since she got stabbed with the knife. Furthermore, she had been working hard all this while and even got exposed to the rain and cold the day before. Her immune system was already weakened so she felt much worse when she caught a cold.

After taking the medicine, she seemed to feel much better so she no longer cared about the cold.

“Ms. Murphy, your flight will be at 6 o’clock in the evening. I’ve also gotten you a total of 17 flight tickets,” When Jenna returned to the office, Fiona immediately reported.

Jenna nodded. “Call Miss Peters over to see me.”

“On it.” The secretary picked up the phone.

Jenna walked back to the office, poured a glass of water, and rested her hand on the sofa to support herself. After drinking the water, she felt much better.

“Ms. Murphy, you wanted to see me?” After a while, Miss Peters walked in and asked softly.

“Yes, have a seat.” Jenna raised her head, smiled slightly, and pointed to the sofa next to her. “I’ll be taking the automotive technicians from Green Mountain Automobile City abroad tonight to learn their technology. By the way, I’ll also hire one of them to come back to A city to guide our production of luxury cars. You will also follow me there. It is already three o’clock. Go back now and pack your stuff. We will leave on time at five o’clock. Do you have any questions?”

“Nope,” Reeva smiled and answered. She was promoted to her current position by Jenna and she had always been very grateful to her. She also graduated with an automotive degree, but her knowledge was not as comprehensive as Jenna’s. Thus, she had always wanted to learn more about the automotive industry. She too, admired Jenna’s ability to design cars. After so many days of working together, she deeply admired Jenna’s character and working ability.

Now that there was such a good opportunity for her to be exposed to the automotive industry in order to gain more knowledge, of course she was happy to seize it. How could she refuse such an opportunity?

Thus, she immediately responded with gratitude.

“That’s good. Prepare yourself then,” Jenna’s head was heavy, so she waved at Reeva. “You’ll need to learn more from them.”

“Okay.” Reeva stood up, but she did not leave. She looked at Jenna suspiciously and asked with worry, “Ms. Murphy, are you not feeling well? Looking at your face, you look really uncomfortable. Should I take you to the hospital first?”

Reeva was a little worried. After all, Jenna and Mr. Richards had an unusual relationship. She also heard that Jenna had lived in Richards Manor as if they had not divorced yet. She also looked weak these days. Besides, Mr. Richards left everything to her, so it must be difficult for her too.

“It’s okay. I caught a little cold last night. It’s just a minor illness.” Jenna waved her hand with indifference.

“Ms. Murphy, let me tell Mr. Richards about it, and send someone else abroad. It’s not too late for you to be there after recovering from your illness.” Reeva thought about it and was still worried about her. Jenna’s face looked really pale, and if something happened during their trip to Los Angeles, Mr. Richards would definitely put the blame on her. She won’t be able to bear the consequences.

“It’s alright.” As soon as Jenna heard her mention Hansen, she immediately waved her hand and shook her head. Hansen’s name was like a thorn to her. As long as she heard his name, her reflexes would cause her to be nervous and tense.

She didn’t want to let Hansen know about her minor illness. She knew her place in his heart very well. She was not Aria; she was not as weak as her.

“Then you take a rest first. I’ll go out now and come to meet you later,” Reeva said softly, then walked out a little worried.

She also didn’t understand Jenna’s relationship with Hansen. It seemed like Mr. Richards didn’t care about her, but he handed over all the company’s affairs to her. When she was injured and hospitalized, Mr. Richards was extremely anxious. Mr. Richards really cared about her.

After Reeva left, Jenna laid on the bed and fell asleep. Amidst a muddle, she heard someone shout anxiously outside the door. She got up and looked at the clock. It was already five o’clock.

Oh, she still had to catch the plane.

She got up in a hurry, but unexpectedly, she almost fell.

“Ms. Murphy, Ms. Murphy!” The voices of Reeva and Fiona sounded anxious outside. Jenna quickly opened the door.

“Ms. Murphy, are you okay? We called your name for almost twenty minutes,” Reeva said and stared at Jenna anxiously.

“I’m sorry, I took some cold medicine and overslept.” Jenna smiled apologetically. She hurriedly packed her things. “Quick, we’re going to be late. Tell the driver to wait for us downstairs.”

“Ms. Murphy, are you really okay?” Reeva asked worriedly again. Jenna’s face was really pale, and Reeva was really worried about her condition. Although work was important, health was always the utmost priority.

“I’m fine, let’s go.” Jenna put away her things casually, and hurried downstairs with Reeva.

Fortunately, there was not much traffic on the road. The car rushed to the airport. The fifteen people were all in the waiting area, anxiously waiting for them. Seeing Jenna and Reeva arrive, they all breathed a sigh of relief and greeted Jenna politely. They then boarded the plane smoothly.
