My Ex, Please Love Me Again

But just as they held each other for a short while, Cara stopped crying and suddenly let out a loud guffaw. “Trevon, wake up now. How about we have Ustistan’s cuisines tonight?”

“Or Chiobar’s food? I know this is your favorite. After all these years you spent in a foreign country, you are still only accustomed to Chiobar’s food.”

There was something creepy in the way Cara said it. Phil and Anya could feel that.

Anya flashed Phil a worried look. And Phil frowned.

Right at this moment, Cara ran out while cackling. And the doctor followed her and said to Phil with a serious expression, “Mr. Henderson, I am afraid your mother is in mental disorder. You might need to take her to the psychiatry department.”

“Based on my observation, she acted like this probably because she couldn’t accept the truth.”

The doctor was showing his concern euphemistically. Actually, his implied meaning was that Cara went mad.

For one moment Anya could feel the sudden stiffness of Phil’s body. His father’s death coupled with his mother’s madness could mentally defeat a man no matter how tough he was and how bad a relationship he had with his parents.

“Phil?” Anya called his name with dread. She looked at the man who stood still now. Standing here didn’t help tackle the problems and they should catch up with Cara and take care of her.

Her voice brought him back to consciousness. He gave her a look and was still reeling from the shock.

Anya reminded him, “Let’s go check on your mother.”

Phil’s brain finally started to operate with Anya’s calling. He compressed his lips and nodded, “OK.”

They took a few steps and then Phil stopped. Phil said to Anya, “It is too late now. I am thinking about sending you home.”

“It must be a busy and long night. You really shouldn’t stay with me.”

Anya was pregnant and she needed a good rest. He couldn’t afford to put her at risk as well.

But Anya declined. “I will be fine. Let me be with you.”

This was a chaotic night and she was likely to have difficulties falling asleep even if she came back home now. She might be more helpful staying with him under such circumstances.

Phil agreed with her seeing that she had made up her mind. Actually, he craved someone’s company at this time. And he was only too glad to be accompanied by Anya, the girl he loved.

Later he gave Gaven a call and had him come over to handle the situation here. Arrangements for Trevon’s funeral and Cara’s mental illness, and the investigation of the woman who came out from nowhere and badgered Trevon were all waiting to be settled.

Soon Gaven arrived and undertook Trevon’s funeral arrangements. As for Phil and Anya, they took Cara to the psychiatry department with the assistance of paramedics.

At first, Cara refused anyone’s touch. To steady her, the doctor had to inject a tranquilizer into her.

Cara was diagnosed with severe psychological illness. The doctor suggested that she be sent to a specific hospital for treatment. So they found a professional hospital and took her to it immediately.

But there was another problem – Cara’s company. Phil felt the necessity of sustaining its normal operation. He couldn’t simply shut down the company since it directly affected employees’ work and livelihood.

The clock struck three after Phil arranged for everything. Anya couldn’t resist the urge to sleep and fell asleep on the bench when Phil was making a call.

Considering Anya was pregnant, Gaven offered to stay. “Let me take care of the rest so that you could take Ms. Willigen back home.”

“Thank you,” Phil replied. With the goal of training Gaven, he specifically required Gaven to come to Ustistan and help establish the branch. He could learn a lot from handling crises like tonight.

“I’m sorry for your loss,” Gaven said while watching them getting into the car.

Instead of waking up Anya, Phil carried her in his arms and Gaven helped open the door of the car.

But it still wakened Anya. Phil comforted her with a soft voice, “I have got everything under control. Let’s go home now.”

“OK,” Anya answered. She felt relieved and fell asleep quickly after hearing what he said.

She woke up again when they reached home. Phil was about to carry her but she declined after noticing his bloodshot eyes.

Two misfortunes happened in a row tonight. He must be exhausted from dealing with them. She couldn’t bear to have him carry her home at this time.

She might capriciously torment him when they were together. But she wasn’t a spoiled girl and she respected his boundaries which couldn’t be crossed. Phil’s being obedient to her was on grounds of her thoughtfulness.

Perhaps because of the cool breeze after getting off the car, they were both drained of sleepiness.

After each of them took a shower, Phil passed a glass of water to Anya and said, “Have some water. Be careful not to get a cold.”

Going through the long night with him must have consumed all of her energy. He wouldn’t have let her come if he knew tonight’s incidents beforehand.

But at the same time felt lucky to have her company tonight. Otherwise, he would have broken down.

Anya took his water and wanted to soothe him, “Your mother must love your father very much. Or else she wouldn’t have gone mad.”

“She probably regretted the way she treated your father. She couldn’t bear the consequence or forgive herself so she went crazy.”

Cara couldn’t have thought that the drama would end with Trevon’s death.

Despite her constant complaint about Trevon before, Trevon had been her husband for decades. And Trevon gave his life to save hers. It was natural for her to have a mental breakdown.

“But it was too late to regret.” Phil still had tremendous resentment and hatred towards his mother. “She never genuinely cherished him or showed him any respect. What is the meaning of treasuring something you have lost?”

Phil’s words sent her sharp pain. Somehow it reminded her of the relationship between her and Phil.

During the past four years when they were married, he treasured her. But she never thought about being nice to him.

Although they were divorced, they developed a special connection because of the baby. However, she still instinctively rejected everything relevant to him. Did she have to wait and know how to cherish him until the day she completely lost him?

Why did people have to be trapped in endless fights when they were living good and healthy lives?

Anya was having mixed feelings now. She had the intention to stop haggling with him over Lorie’s car accident.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She should cherish every day with him as if it were the last so that she wouldn’t regret it like Cara did when misfortune occurred.
