My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

Chloe was taken aback beside Chris’s wife. Although they had met several times before, where her face would usually wear a smile, and her eyes would have a serene gaze, she now looked sad. Chloe knew that what had just happened had shaken her deeply.

Even though the critical period had passed, the child would still receive much attention. Chloe heard that the accident happened because a car suddenly lost control. Tian had already pulled over, but unfortunately, the car swerved to the left, causing him to be thrown off due to the impact. It was only by God’s miracle that Tian survived.

“I hope there are no lasting effects from Tian’s accident.”

Chloe nodded, praying silently in her heart. She hoped that Tian wouldn’t experience what she had been through.

“I don’t know what to say to Aunt, but I always pray for Tian’s quick recovery.”

Risya smiled, albeit with a touch of sadness. “Thank you, Chloe. Your presence alone makes me happy. Especially seeing you now.”

Meanwhile, Agatha, sitting next to Chloe the whole time, patted her shoulder. “Yes, indeed. You look much fresher now.”

“Yes, Ma’am. More beautiful,” Risya sincerely complimented.

Chloe chose not to respond, even though their conversation often veered toward questions about her current life. She didn’t hesitate to share with them because she didn’t feel burdened to tell them.

It was a different story for Leonel, who had been glancing at Chloe all this time. Numerous questions swirled in his mind, itching to be asked without pause and needing answers from Chloe’s mouth.

But he couldn’t voice any of it, considering Chloe had built such a high wall against him. He would certainly take it if only he had another opportunity to get closer.

“Good afternoon,”

Everyone waiting there turned to look at the man who had just arrived. He was dressed in an all-black suit, but his focus was on Chris, who welcomed him.

“How is it?”

Chloe and the two middle-aged women beside her chose to listen. Meanwhile, Leonel approached Chris as well. Chloe felt that Leonel knew the man in the black suit.

“Our monitoring and on-site investigation indicate a high likelihood of intentional actions. Currently, the driver and the vehicle are in the South New York City Police station.”

“If the police are being evasive in their investigation, instruct your people to dig deeper. Find out who did this intentionally,” Chris growled.

“Do your best. Make sure nothing is overlooked.” This time it was Robby Grisham speaking. His face appeared stiff and displeased. What had happened? Why did it feel like playing with someone’s life?

“Understood, sir.”

Shortly after, the man in the black suit left, leaving an angry expression and thick emotions behind.

“We can’t let this go, Leonel.”

“Yes, Pa. I know. Hopefully, Gio and his team can thoroughly investigate. We’ll find out who is behind all this,” Leonel said firmly. “Don’t worry, Chris, we won’t stay idle.”

“I trust you.”

“At least Tian has made it through the critical period,” Robby said, patting the shoulder of his confidant. It wasn’t just Chris who was shocked by this incident. He was too. To Grisham, Chris was no different than a brother.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Ester had been dozing off for who knows how long. Her head was pounding. Her throat was dry. She felt like she could drink a gallon of water to alleviate the dryness in her throat.

Her eyes blinked slowly. She gradually adjusted to the incoming light. Although it caused a disturbing glare, Ester tried to adapt.

“Leonel,” she called softly. Her voice was weak. The last thing she remembered was Leonel stretching out his arms. Before she could even enter his warm embrace, Ester couldn’t remember anything else.

“Leonel,” Ester tried calling out to the man she longed for. Suddenly, flashes of their argument resurfaced in her memory. Leonel’s accusations and his angry and disappointed gaze truly disturbed her.

“I’m not wrong, Leonel,” she whispered. Despite her dizziness, she tried to turn her head to the right. There was no one there except white curtains. There was a table with a complete monitor screen, seemingly for some purpose. The echoing sound she had been hearing turned out to be coming from there.

“Leonel.” Although her eyes couldn’t see his figure, Ester still tried to call out to him.

“Miss Ester.”

That voice. Yes, it was Sofi’s voice. Despite the slight pain, Ester used her energy to turn to the left. Her assistant was there, smiling with great relief.

“Thank God!” Sofi exclaimed happily. “Finally, Ester is conscious.”

Ester blinked again. “Where am I? Where is Leonel?”

“I’ll call the doctor first, okay? Miss Ester, don’t talk too much for now.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ester chose to remain silent, trying to digest what was happening. She began to feel uneasy, mainly because a tube was inserted in her left arm.

“How long have I been here?”

“Four days, Miss.”

Ester closed her eyes slowly. “I have to go home. I have to meet Leonel. It can’t be left unresolved.”

Sofi immediately stopped all of Ester’s movements. How could this beautiful model act so recklessly? Wasn’t she satisfied with endangering herself by drinking so much alcohol? Furthermore, after she left, Sofi distinctly remembered that Ester was in excellent condition.

With Leonel… Yes, that man. But he couldn’t be reached at all. All his phones were redirected. The messages Sofi sent have yet to be answered. What was going on?

During Sofi’s acquaintance with them, only in recent years did they often argue. It was never like that before. They were like a couple intoxicated with love. Sofi even thought that they were like husband and wife. That’s how intimate they were.

But now? Sofi was sure there was a much bigger fight than just exchanging insults. Or maybe…

“Miss!” Sofi tried to prevent Ester’s insistent actions. “You’ve just woken up. Can you be patient?”

Sofi was losing patience due to Ester’s childish behavior. So far, she had managed to remain patient. But because Ester acted irrationally like this, Sofi’s patience had run out.

“I have to meet Leonel!” Ester’s eyes glared with disapproval. “Don’t stop me, Ester! How dare you raise your voice, Sofi.”

“I’m doing this for your safety, Miss. There’s nothing else!”

“Leave, Sofi!”

Sofi grumbled in frustration. Especially when the hand preventing Ester from removing the infusion tube was suddenly thrown aside. Her eyes stared at Ester, filled with tears. Then Sofi moved aside slightly.

“Feel free to leave if you want, Miss. I won’t stop you. It’s pointless. I’ve paid attention to you, cared for you, never left you, but you always treat me as you please.”

Ester sighed. Her hand started to fiddle with the tube again. The blood flowed backward from the box, but she didn’t care about the pain.

“If you leave this hospital, Miss, journalists confront you.”

Ester’s movement stopped abruptly. “What do you mean?”

Sofi sighed, her hands clenched tightly. “Just leave this place, Miss. Face alone what you’ve been doing lately.”

“Explain clearly!”

“Don’t yell at me again!” Sofi couldn’t stand it. Although Ester was annoying, her actions had gone too far this time. Didn’t that woman think about the consequences? And why was Ester always so selfish?

“I’m here because of my great humanity towards you. So, news about Chloe Delilah’s assassination plan has spread widely.”

Ester’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her heart seemed to stop beating. She fell back onto the bed.

“I don’t know what to say because all those accusations come with strong evidence.”

“And do you believe them?” Ester asked softly.

“What else should I believe? You were in New York with me. But how can we fight back if I present the temporary evidence while you’re in this condition?”

Ester remained silent.

“Think about everything, Miss.”

“When did the news spread?”

“Why do you seem to already know about this issue?” Sofi was entirely surprised by Ester’s question.

Ester remained silent for a while, during which Sofi took the opportunity to approach her. She adjusted the infusion tube. Later, when the nurse came for a visit, she would ask for the needle to be replaced.

She called the doctor several times, but they had not arrived.

“That night, Leonel provided so many photos and accusations. Saying that, I orchestrated Chloe’s accident,” Ester said with a downcast gaze. “I hated him to the core, Sofi. I hated him. But I couldn’t bring myself to harm him. Especially not to the extent of causing Chloe to be partially blind. I’m not that insane.”

Sofi knew that what Ester was facing was not just any accusation. The news was spreading like wildfire. All sorts of hidden affairs were now exposed. Sofi even had to turn off comments on Ester’s social media accounts.

She had been overwhelmed in the past few days. Her break times were chaotic because there were so many things to take care of, especially with the agency. She had to cover many things, especially Ester’s situation. Only a few people were informed about the actual condition of the model.

“I didn’t do it, Sofi,” Ester whispered. “You know that, right?”

“I know, Miss,” Sofi sympathetically patted Ester’s shoulder.

“Josh,” Ester said softly. “Contact Josh. He can help.”

Sofi remained silent for a moment. “Um… That…”

“Why?”

“We can’t reach Mr. Josh either.”

“Damn it!!!”
