Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro)

Chapter 20 I am coming!

VICTORIA’S POV

I don’t understand what is happening in my life. When I wanted Alessandro in my life, he despised me.

And now, when I am trying to leave, he is pestering me in every way to annoy me.

I won’t deny it; I am not worried about him. I have loved him for three years, and somewhere in my

heart, I still have a soft corner for him. Yet, my determination is not something I would give up after

what he did to me.

I have had enough of his ignorance.

I also can’t ignore him; he is in the hospital bed because of me. I was ready to take care of him, and I

tried to until Camilla walked in.

I just don’t want her anywhere near my unborn infant or me. The drama of that family is too much to

accept. That’s why I walked away.

“But now...” A helpless sigh left my lips as I stared at my phone screen.

He sounded so weak and... sick. Maybe, I will consider visiting him this time; for the last time? Then I

will warn him not to call me ever.

Yeah, I can do that.

I just don’t want anything bad to happen when I am a part of it.

However...

I turned to my parents, who were sharing their future plans with James and Maria happily.

How can I let them know about my visit to Alessandro? They will be very upset, and I don’t want to hurt

them at any cost. Not again.

Oh, Lord! Such a tough situation! All because of that man!

I stepped toward the dining table with hesitating steps. I was thinking about what to tell them when

mama asked with a slight frown.

“What happened, Victoria? Everything alright? You look worried, baby.” She stood up and came beside

me.

With her words, all the eyes are on me now. It felt like everyone was worried about me, making me

guiltier for doing this.

“Umm... Everything is fine, mama. I just need to go out for some time... If you agree,” I said, ignoring

her eye contact.

“Oh, where to?” She asked softly.

“Tell us, doll; we can help you if there is any problem” Papa said immediately after mama.

I felt like tearing up at the continuous concern. Oh, Lord, how much I have missed these people.

But, I suppressed myself from bursting into tears before them and shook my head with a smile.

“No papa, there is no problem. It’s just... my one friend needs me with her now; a little urgent. So, I am

hoping you guys won’t mind if I go there.”

I tried my best not to look suspicious of my lie, and fortunately, it worked as they both agreed without

doubting me.

It was nighttime, so papa warned me to take a car and a chauffeur. I had no other choice but to do it.

I was grateful to God that he didn’t send James or Mario, his loyal assistant, behind me. I would have Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

been caught in no time.

Soon, I reached the hospital and found Calvin standing before Alessandro’s room. Seeing me, Calvin

smiled immediately.

“Oh, I am so glad you are here, Miss Blake” He sounded so relieved from a heavy burden.

“How is he?” I asked, looking at the closed door.

His head hung lower as he shook his head.“Go inside, ma’am. See by yourself,” He sighed.“Oh, my

poor boss.”

His words send a cold shiver in my heart as if someone clenched it with a cold hand. I just hope he is

okay.

Slowly, I stepped inside. The whole room is annoyingly quiet; only the beeping of machines is coming

to my ears. In the middle of it, there he is, laying on the hospital bed, looking weak and brittle.

My heart clenched again; seeing him like this broke my heart. I could be laying down there in his place

if he didn’t rush to save me.

I once lost my love and still, that hurts. I didn’t want the same thing to happen to me. Although I

divorced him, that never meant it wouldn’t affect me when he was hurt.

Slowly, I went beside his sleeping figure. I guess I did the right thing by coming here. I must have to

say, even in the sick bed, he is gorgeous.

Carefully, I touched his forehead and gasped a little. He has a high fever! How come he became so

sick all of a sudden? The last time I was here, he was much better than this!

Maybe, I could talk to the doctor? Thinking, I removed my hand from his forehead or tried to, when I felt

his touch on my hand.

"Victoria..." He murmured.

“Yes, I am here, Alessandro,” I said, trying to remove my hand from his grip which tightened just

now.“Let me call the doctor.”

“Victoria...” He murmured again, with his eyes still closed.“Victoria... Don’t go...”

I blinked in confusion at first and then suddenly realized he was talking in sleep. His touch on my hand

seemed like a burning fire!

Oh no! This is not good! Immediately I pressed the button used for calling doctors. A few seconds later,

the doctor rushed in with a nurse following behind.

The doctor checked on him and assured me that it was the effect of a wound. It incited the fever. He

needs to be taken care of and rest completely with healthy foods. He also gave him proper medication,

so the fever would go away.

After the doctor was gone, I sat beside Alessandro and watched him, one of my favorite things to do in

the past. He appeared happy and at ease while sleeping. Also, he could not ignore or be cold to me in

his sleep unless he dreams of that.

This is the last time only; I am watching him. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would leave

everything behind for this man just to turn my back on him now.

Gradually, he woke up from sleep; flattering his eyes open, he looked at me.“Victoria... Y…you are

here”

Gulping the lump in my throat that was forming at a mere glance at his dull blue eyes, I nodded.“Yes... I

am. How are you feeling?”

“Happy,” he mumbled, trying to get up from bed.

“Hey, what are you doing,” I quickly stopped him from getting out.“Don’t move, Alessandro. You are not

allowed to move.” I said, pulling the quilt over him again.

Suddenly, I was stopped by him. He held my hand, and I glared at him before pulling my hand from his

grip.

“What are you doing?”

For some time, it felt like his eyes flickered with sadness. Though I am sure, I sensed it wrong because

he was watching me blankly. Well, my heart stopped thinking he was sad for a split second.

“I am just trying to go to the washroom. I hope that is allowed?” He raised his brow at me as I flushed.

Here I thought he was trying to get close to me!

What an ironic embarrassment!

Clearing my throat, I again looked back at him.

“Y...yes, that is allowed! You can go!” I stepped back from his side and started searching in my bag to

avoid the conversation with him.

What a shameful bitch I am! How can I think he wants to get close to me?! Fuck!

“Victoria?” I looked at him, surprised, as he abruptly yelled my name.

“Huh?!” I blinked twice.

“Will you help me?” He slightly tilted his head aside. “I need help to go to the bathroom.”

It took me a moment to realize what he was asking for. “Me?” I raised my index finger at myself.

“There is no one else in here, Victoria.” He said with utter amusement.

“Of course not!” I stepped away from him. “I... I will call for a nurse to help you!”

“But they are women!” He argued back, making me stop. But, soon, a name popped into my mind.

“Calvin! He is out there and will do it!”

I hurried to the door immediately, only to discover it was empty. Fuck! Wasn’t he here before?!

I was trying to find some other solution when he started throwing tantrums.

“Oh, Victoria! I can’t control it anymore! Help me!”

I turned to him to find him clenching his thighs with gritted teeth. “Hurry up!”

Guess I have no other choice but to help him.

“Fine! I... I am coming!”
