My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 175

Mare’s brain went blank momentarily.

His mind was suddenly bombarded with the doubts he had previously held. The details that he had noticed or ignored also surged into his mind at that moment. It was as if they were being reassembled and pieced together to make sense now.

No wonder

No wonder he could not find traces of Grace’s check–in information even after searching the entire hotel. He only thought that perhaps Pearl had deliberately used hacking skills to hide her whereabouts. She had indeed hidden Grace’s whereabouts, but she had not used computer skills but her own identity.

Pearl was Dr. Grace.

Grace was Pearl.

Marc’s pitch–black eyes turned red from shock and anger. His hands by his side slowly clenched into fists, and his entire body trembled. He felt a sharp pain in the depths of his heart. He placed a palm over his heart and bent down in pain.

“Mr. Males, are you alright? Thomas hurriedly supported him.

Marc’s lips were pale. It was as if he had walked out of an ice cave. He was so cold that he was trembling.

Pearl had lied to him again and again.

Pearl did not care or pay attention to Marc’s reaction. She followed Connor into the ward to check Peter’s leg

Taking note of Connor’s worried gaze, Pearl said, “It’s not a big problem. It’s normal to feel pain after a fracture surgery. I’ll prescribe you some painkillers and anti–inflammatory medicine. Pay attention to protecting your leg. Don’t do any strenuous

exercise.

Connor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Peter nodded. “Thank you, Ms. Woolery. Oh no, what should I call you?”

She had so many identities, so he did not know what to call her best.

The corners of Pearl’s mouth twitched nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter. You can call me whatever you like. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Connor said from the side, “You are only three years older than my brother. We can call you by your name.” Peter blushed.

He scolded Connor softly, “Don’t be rude.

Connor blinked innocently and muttered in a low voice, “How is it rude to call her by her name?”

Seeing that Peter’s face was about to darken again, Connor looked up. His sharp and chiseled features spread to reveal a bright smile. “Don’t mind him. My brother has always been like this. He’s easily embarrassed since he was a child”

Pearl nodded in agreement. “Unlike you.”

Connor was doubtful that it was a compliment.

Peter could not help but laugh when he saw his younger brother’s defeated expression.

The medical team was still waiting for a meeting in the office. Pearl did not stay to chat with the brothers. She only told them that she would be returning to Nanston within the day. Then, she looked at Connor. “Are you coming back with me?”

Connor pursed his lips. He knew he should go back. The coach had called several times and asked him to go back as sooIT JY possible so that he would not delay his training. There were still classes at school, and the restaurant was short–handed. However, his brother was hospitalized

Without waiting for him to express his opinion, Peter guessed his concern and said directly “lust an back th

take care of me here. There are so many medical staff. It’ll be fine.”

He then turned to Pearl and said, “Ms. Woolery, please give him a ride.

Pearl nodded. “Then it’s settled. There’s still some time in the afternoon. You can go out and buy some local specialties and share them with your classmates and colleagues.”

Connor nodded obediently. “Okay. I’ll do so.”

Peter was attentive. After Pearl left, he frowned and asked Connor, “Colleagues? You went out to work part–time behind my back again?”

Connor’s heart skipped a beat.

His secret had been exposed.

Pearl left the ward. Noah had sent some information on the paraplegic patient to her. She was about to go to the office for a meeting with the medical team to discuss that when she saw Marc still standing at the same spot.

Why did he look like he had been beaten up?

Did someone torture him?

Pearl only glanced at him indifferently before retracting her gaze. She had no intention of caring about him and turned to walk towards the office.

“Dr. Grace.”

He called out to her. His voice was low and hoarse. There was an indescribable coldness to it. His voice trembled as well.

Pearl suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She almost forgot. She seemed to have accidentally exposed herself earlier.

Footsteps came from behind her. It was Marc. He approached Pearl cautiously before stopping in front of her. He stared at her with eyes that had turned red.

He was in bad shape.

Marc slowly opened his mouth. He asked in a hoarse and obscure voice, “How long were you planning to lie to me?”

Pearl looked up at him calmly.

They were standing too close to each other. She was no longer used to his scent. She took a slight step back to put some distance between them.

It was like how he had distanced himself from her countless times in the past.

Marc’s eyes darkened as he watched her retreat. He forced a smile and laughed self–deprecatingly. “You think it’s interesting play me like a fiddle and trick me repeatedly, don’t you? This is your sort of revenge on me?”

His voice trembled uncontrollably while saying the last sentence. It was as if he was upset and worked up that someone had cheated on him.

Pearl’s expression was still calm. It was almost indifferent. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she asked mockingly. What revenge? You would have to do something wrong first for me to take revenge. Why? Do you feel sorry for me? Do you feel guilty and feel like I’ve been wronged?”

Marc’s eyes narrowed. He was rendered speechless by her.

He was the one questioning her first. However, she had posed questions back.

Pearl smiled faintly. It was not a genuine smile. “Revenge has always stemmed from hatred in one’s heart. I don’t hate Mr. Males, so why would I take revenge? After the divorce, I have stayed out of your path. Mr. Males, you’re the one who keeps harassing me. It’s not my fault that you had been oblivious, alright?”

Chapter 175

Marc pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.

He had already known she was sharp–tongueil. Her words were laced with spitefulness, and they had mercilessly stabbed at his

heart.

Marc was silent for a long time. Just when Pearl was about to walk away, the anger in his eyes slowly dissipated. He spoke “T Grace, you saved my life three years ago. It’s all thanks to you that I was able to make a full recovery. I was almost paralyzed in was you who made it possible for me to walk again. I’m very grateful to you. I have to repay you for saving my life”

Pearl was slightly stunned.

She was used to hearing him speak crudely. As soon as she heard him say something decent, she was a little uncomfortable. She said calmly. It’s my duty. You don’t have to repay me.”

Marc chuckled softly when he heard Pearl’s reply. He said, “Ten years ago, I saved a girl. She said that she wanted to repay me. I said the same words to her. However, she still came to my side and appeared at the most important moment to save me. Pearl, you’ve already repaid my kindness to you. However, I have to repay you for saving my life,”

Pearl frowned. Looking at his firm and confident attitude, she felt a chill coming down her spine. “I said there’s no need.” “No. Linsist

Marc’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Dr. Grace, see you later”

Pearl was speechless.
