The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 16

Nobody wanted her here. Everyone just wanted her gone.

Ella felt ridicuous. Her eyes, cold and clear, swept over Rachel, Jessa, and Peter. She yanked her slender arm out of David’s grasp and gave a small, mocking smile. “Fine. I’ll leave.”

Just remember, it was you who told me to go.

She turned around and walked out.

But she didn’t get far. Ella spun back, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “David, do you even know why I came to Central Hospital today?”

David glanced at her, taking in her pale, delicate face. Her skin was so fair it almost glowed, soft and flawless, making her look even more striking.

His expression was icy, completely uninterested. His voice was cold as ever. “Ella, if you keep making a scene, people are going to get sick of you.”

Ella stepped closer, flashing him a bright, almost mischievous smile. “Actually, I came to find an specialist for you.”

She pulled out a small, yellowed card and handed it to him. “Here, this is for you.”

David looked down at the card. It looked like something slipped through a door when no one was looking.

On the card, it said: Traditional herbalist, specializes in treating impotence, premature issues, infertility. Find your manhood again.

David’s usually calm face cracked a little. He said nothing.

Ella slipped the card into his suit pocket. “Jessa needs help, but you do too, David. Take care of yourselves.”

Then she turned and walked away.

David’s hands balled into fists at his sides. Somehow, she always found a way to get under his skin.

“David, just let it go,” Jessa said from her bed. “She’s not worth it.”

Rachel nodded. “Yeah. Where’s Doctor E?”

The room grew tense as soon as that name was mentioned.

Doctor E was Jessa’s only hope.

David checked his watch. Their appointment time had already passed, but Doctor E still hadn’t shown up.

Just then, a nurse entered. “David.”

Jessa, Peter, and Rachel all looked up, eyes bright with hope. “Is Doctor E here?”

The nurse turned to David. “Doctor E has already been here.”

What?

David gazed down the hallway. He didn’t see anyone—just caught a glimpse of a slim figure turning the corner which belonged to Ella.

He frowned. “I didn’t see Doctor E.”

The nurse explained, “She came, but she’s already left.”

“Why?” Jessa, Peter, and Rachel were stunned. “Why would she leave? She hasn’t treated Jessa yet.”

The nurse looked apologetic. “I’m sorry. Doctor E said she won’t be treating Ms. Irvine.”

Jessa’s face went completely white. Doctor E wouldn’t help her.

Why?

All the hope in the room vanished, replaced by shock and confusion.
