Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan)
Chapter 453 Stefan Is My Ex-Husband

Chapter 453 Stefan is my ex-husband

Hospital.

King Ducasse arrived as quickly as possible after receiving the news from the hospital.

When he sent Martha here, he was still thinking about her situation. She would not wake up in a few days, and she might not even wake up again.

Unexpectedly, the good news came so soon.

When he came to the door of the ward, he was still a little timid.

He was afraid that if he opened the door and saw Martha still unconscious, it would be too hard for him to bear. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he really liked Martha.

After a while, King Ducasse took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the ward.

All he saw was a pale woman leaning against the bed, looking at him.

King Ducasse could clearly feel his heart rate suddenly increase as he walked excitedly into the room.

"You're awake."

"How did you come?"

Martha pretended to be ignorant and looked at the visitor suspiciously.

She remembered being drugged in the racecourse and then running into Ducasse but didn't remember anything after that.

Before she could ask about the follow-up, King Ducasse's concerned voice came.

"I came to see you; how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort anywhere?"

"I'm fine," replied Martha weakly with a bitter smile on her face.

The man standing by her bedside noticed how dry her lips were and furrowed his brow slightly before asking, "Do you want some water?"

"OK."

Martha responded weakly, leaning against the bed and thinking that it must have been King Ducasse who brought her here.

Thinking of this, she looked at King Ducasse with a grateful look in her eyes.

"King Ducasse, thank you for taking me to the hospital."

When the man who was pouring water heard this, his hands paused, and he turned to look at the woman on the hospital bed in doubt. "What happened in the racecourse? Do you know that someone used aphrodisiac on you?"

Martha's eyelids drooped, her thin lips were pursed, and she remained silent.

Of course, she knew who used the incense on her. After all, she only had physical contact with Daisy in the fitting room.

Yet, it was a matter of the Lucas family, so it was not good to let King Ducasse know.

She wasn't easy to be messed with, but she wouldn't let outsiders embarrass the Lucas family.

King Ducasse waited for a long time, but did not hear an answer, and naturally understood that Martha must be hiding something since it was difficult to be honest with him.

He sighed silently, filled the glass with water, and asked carefully.

"Do you need me to feed you water?"

"No need."

Martha rejected King Ducasse's inquiry without hesitation, reached for the water glass directly, and lowered her head to take a sip.

She didn't like this king, so she would refuse any favors from the latter.

Things had come to this point, and it was impossible for her to leave the hospital now.

Yet she couldn't rest well with King Ducasse being here.

The next second, King Ducasse's cold voice sounded again in the ward, interrupting Martha's thoughts.

"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

Martha looked at the man standing by the hospital bed in shock, never expecting that the latter would say such a thing at this time.

She said in a daze, "King Ducasse, you misunderstood, I don't like you."

Ducasse frowned slightly as his eyes darkened. He opened his thin lips and spoke gently once again, "Martha, I really do like you. Believe me, once you become my queen, no one will dare bully or harm you anymore."

"I don't like you; I told you from the beginning that there is no way for me to become your queen," Martha sighed helplessly as she never thought that after waking up from unconsciousness she would have to say hurtful words to King Ducasse.

Hearing such a clear refusal, King Ducasse unconsciously tightened his hands by his side.

"Why?"

Although he knew very well that perhaps there might already be another man occupying her heart but still he wanted her own words confirming it all.

In the next second, Martha's eyes changed slightly, and she whispered the truth to King Ducasse.

"I already have someone I like."

"It's Stefan, right?"

King Ducasse's eyes darkened, and he said the name he heard in the car in a cold voice.

He was sure that this was a man's name, and that this man could be called out by Martha when she was in the most danger, which showed that this man must be very important to her.

But since it was important, why would she choose to return to Z Country?

Martha, who was leaning on the hospital bed, suddenly heard this, and looked at King Ducasse with a look of surprise in her eyes.

She didn't expect that King Ducasse would know about Stefan's existence.

She frowned, and asked suspiciously, "How do you know..."

She didn't finish her words, but King Ducasse understood what she wanted to ask.

King Ducasse stared fixedly at her on the hospital bed, with a strange look on his face, but he still opened his mouth to explain.

"Because you called out his name when you were in the most critical condition."

Martha's body stiffened as she realized that during her most difficult moment, the person on her mind was Stefan. She had forgiven him a long time ago but didn't realize it until now.

A wry smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, followed by a twitch in her heart.

As Martha smiled bitterly at this realization, Ducasse noticed the change in her expression and wondered if this man meant so much to her. Was he more important than a nobleman from Z Country? King Ducasse tightened his hand on the side, and looked firmly at the woman on the hospital bed.

"Martha, no matter what, I just like you."

"I was married and Stefan was my ex-husband."

Martha looked at the man standing by the hospital bed fixedly, and said softly.

She knew that being a nobleman from Z Country would make it impossible for him to marry someone who had already been married before. Therefore, by revealing this information about herself, she hoped that he would back off.

King Ducasse was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "I like you, so I don't need to care about your past."

Martha looked at the man in front of her in surprise, but she didn't expect him to say that.

She thought that as long as she told this matter, King Ducasse would retreat, but unexpectedly, he was willing to accept her.

There was a wry smile unconsciously on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes that looked at King Ducasse became more indifferent. "Then what if I say, I have a child with that man?"

Upon hearing this, King Ducasse looked at the woman on the hospital bed in shock.

'She has a child?'

After a while, he recovered his voice and asked in disbelief, "You didn't lie to me?"

"I'm telling the truth, my child is five years old."

Martha looked at the man in front of her indifferently, without any intention of deceiving him.
