My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 176

Marc left behind a bunch of baffling words. He was gone.

Recalling his words, Pearl pursed her lips speechl

Was he trying to repay her kindness?

Why did it look more like he wanted revenge?

She thought that the two of them should never interact again in the future. That would be the kindness he could bestow her Every time he appeared, he would ruin her mood.

How annoying.

Pearl shook her head and left for the meeting

Pearl had borrowed the director’s office for a meeting with the medical team.

After the meeting, she contacted Noah

Afraid that he was busy, she only sent him a WhatsApp message

She told him that she had looked through the patient’s information. The surgery could be arranged.

Unexpectedly, just as the message was sent, a video call came through.

Pearl answered the call. A face appeared on the screen.

However, it was not a face she was familiar with

The man had messy hair. His beard was unshaven, and his eyes were dark. Pearl did not dare to recognize him at first. She frowned and said, “Noah, did you just escape from the wilderness!”

“What wilderness

Noah’s voice was hoarse as he said in a drawl. “Your brother’s a victim of domestic abuse.”

Pearl did not know how to respond.

The medical team kept their silence.

Pearl waved her hand and dismissed the medical team. She was the only one left in the office.

Only then did she lock her gaze on Noah again. She lowered her voice and asked, “What happened? Did you quarrel with

Charlie

“We’re fine. It’s nothing. It was just a light quarrel.”

The man who had claimed himself to be a victim of domestic violence became calm again. He even got up and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

The light on his side was dim. Pearl had thought he was sitting on the sofa, but as he got up, she realized that Noah was lying on the bed. Moreover, there was something tied to his wrist

Pearl took a closer look. The corners of her eyes twitched.

“Yeah?” Noah gulped down his glass of water.

Pearl glanced over. You said it was nothing. Did Charlie have to put you in cuffs?”

When Noah heard that, he shook the handcuffs on his wrist. “Oh, this. You don’t understand. This is a new hobby we came up

Noah certainly did not mind his words.

Pearl thought to herself, I’m stupid to believe you.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Tell me honestly. Did Charlie catch you doing something wrong?”

Noah clicked his tongue and said unhappily, “Whose sister are you? Why aren’t you speaking up for your brother? Why are you siding with outsiders?”

“Nonsense. Charlie usually dotes on you so much. It’s so unlike him. How could he bear to treat you like this?”

Pearl was getting impatient. “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll call and ask Charlie directly”

She was about to hang up when Noah quickly stopped her.

Noah said, “Hey, call him later. There’s no hurry. Let’s get down to business first.”

Pearl looked at him suspiciously. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Are you trying to trick me into helping you?”

Noah was just as particular about his looks as Hubert. He had always been mindful of his appearance and had always cleaned himself up nicely. How could he allow himself to be so sloppy and even show his unkempt side to her?

It was deliberate. Noah must have something up his sleeve.

Noah did not refute.

He grinned. “My sister is still the smartest.”

Pearl was speechless.

In any case, other than Oliver, none of her brothers were normal.

“Then let’s talk business first.”

Pearl briefly analyzed the patient’s condition and said, “This patient’s spinal cord might have been damaged due to some external injuries or some tumor pressure of the spinal cord, causing symptoms of high paraplegia. Fortunately, he is not completely paralyzed. Treatment is still possible. I took a look at his records. He was a soldier in the army and seemed to be in the special forces, so his physique is quite good.”

Noah replied, “Yeah

He paused before saying. That’s not all. I’ve heard that he worked undercover at the border for five years. The injuries on his body were caused then. Luckily, he survived.

When Pearl heard what Noah said, she could not help but feel in awe.

“My team and I have already formulated a preliminary treatment plan. The specifics can only be confirmed after further examination. Tell Professor Herman I’ll fly back to Nanston tonight, and we can arrange for surgery next week.

Noah nodded. “Alright, I’ll contact them.”

After they were done with proper business, Pearl put down the documents and said, “Now, you can tell me what’s going on. I’ll decide if I should help you plead with Charlie.”

Noah touched his nose. “Honestly, It’s not a big deal.

As Noah stammered and shared details, Pearl finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. One of Noah’s ex–boyfriends had begged Noah to save him after falling seriously ill. Considering their past relationship and out of his professional ethics, Noah had operated on him. The man was saved.

The man wanted to woo Noah back again after recovering. Although he had made a scene at the hospital, Noah remained unaffected. However, the man went to Charlie’s law firm to make a scene after Noah rejected him.

Charlie was furious. After beating up Noah’s ex–boyfriend, he returned home and taught Noah a lesson.

Noah felt very embarrassed to tell his sister about the details: This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He concluded. “That’s what happened,”

Noah sighed softly. “I have nothing to do with that man anymore. I’m not two–timing. I’ve explained it to Charlie numerous times, but he still doesn’t believe me. I was forced to do this.

After Pearl heard what Noah said, she did not sympathize with him.

She snorted. “Serves you right. No wonder Charlie is angry with you. A good ex should disappear and not disturb each other’s lives. Why are you keeping in contact with each other? You all should have cherished each other while together. Now that you’ve broken up with him, he starts appearing again. Doesn’t he know that there’s no going back? He’s just bored and sick in the head!

She was sharp–tongued. Noah argued back. “No, you’re mistaken. It’s not me. He’s the one who keeps appearing before me “Alright, stop explaining and reflect on yourself.”

Pearl hung up the video call and calmed down, She called Charlie. “Hey, Charlie

She wanted to help Noah mend things. It was uneasy for the two of them to get to where they were. It was not worth it for them to fall out over an outsider because of misunderstandings.

Charlie listened to her quietly and replied steadily, “Yes, I know, I wanted to teach Noah a lesson. I want him to learn to set boundaries and not be overly sympathetic.

Hearing Charlie say that he would go home to take a look later, Pearl was relieved. She hung up the phone and sent a message. to inform Noah. The latter was overjoyed Pearl was happy for him.

However, her heart was still gloomy.

A good ex should disappear and not disturb each other’s lives. They should not keep in contact with each other again. That was what she thought.

She would love someone to her heart’s content if she were in love. When she did not love a person anymore, she would turn around and leave without hesitation. It was unlike her to linger and drag things out. It was not something she liked either.

Why was it difficult for Marc to understand such a simple logic?
