Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 199

Chapter 199

"I know," Edmund whispered, holding Chelsea tightly in his arms.

He didn't need to be told that she hated him.

Previously, he thought she could never get over him and that she was only playing the game of cat andmouse with him. It wasn't until recently that he found out that she wanted nothing to do with him.

The people close to him had always hurt her while he turned a blind eye. Why would she want to haveanything to do with him when she always faced oppression?

Chelsea was up against three vicious women. Diane and his mother had come after her. Now, Sonyadid the same. Edmund regretted ignoring her in the past. When he was in the situation himself today,he could imagine her vulnerable state every time she had suffered and put up with a lot of torture likethis before.

"I hate you! I hate you so much!" Chelsea cried hysterically, thumping his hard chest with her small fist.

All the sadness she kept buried swamped her now. She had never felt this way in her entire life.

Her painful cries suddenly ceased and she fainted in Edmund's arms.

"Chelsea! Wake up!" Edmund cried, patting her red cheek.

At this time, the group of policemen handcuffed Sonya and the two hooligans and took them out. Oneof them walked to where Edmund was and said, "You should take her to the hospital. It seems sheneeds urgent medical attention. I can drive you to the closest hospital. I'm quite familiar with the roads."

With Usain Bolt's speed, Edmund rushed to his car and got in the backseat with Chelsea in his arms.The policeman got behind the wheel and drove to the hospital hurriedly.

When Sonya saw that her brother was in panic mode because of Chelsea, she stamped her feet hardand stared at the car until it disappeared.

"How dare Edmund set his dignity aside because of that woman?

He used to hate Chelsea with every fiber of his being. Why was he so concerned about her now? Issomething wrong with his brain? This is so annoying!" Sonya cursed, breathing exasperatedly.

None of the policemen paid attention to her. They opened the doors of their car, intending to shove herand her cohorts into it.

The legs of the man with colorful hair suddenly felt weak. He shouted at Sonya, "Miss Nelson, youhave to do something. Please protect us!"

The two hooligans were ex-convicts. They had gotten light sentences because they were only pettythieves. They had just gotten out of prison.

It took them only a few days to go back to their old ways. This time around, they engaged in kidnappingbecause it was more profitable.

The offer was even juicier because Sonya assured them that the Nelson family would protect them.

But now that the police arrested them and Edmund seemed to not give a damn about Sonya, gettinghelp was very bleak. They feared that they were only one foot away from jail.

The policeman, who was behind them gave the crying hooligan a knock and scolded him. "Shut up! It'spointless to call for help. No one will protect you now!"

The two kidnappers burst into tears as soon as they heard this. They regretted taking up such a dirtyjob. They realized that it was stupid of them to have believed everything that Sonya said.

Meanwhile, Edmund arrived at the hospital with Chelsea. He made sure she was attended toimmediately. After examining her, the doctor said, "Not to worry, she isn't in danger. She only faintedbecause her brain didn't get enough oxygen while she was frightened. She will come around verysoon."

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor added, "Although her physical health isn't compromised, I suspect that her mental health is.She might suffer from post-traumatic stress since she was kidnapped. Her mental health needs to beprioritized. As her relation, you have to be there for her. Make sure she doesn't plunge into depressionor suffer from panic attacks too frequently."

Edmund's heart sank again.

Chelsea was a soft woman. Now that she went through such a traumatic experience, Edmund wasafraid that she would have a hard time.

The urge to strangle Sonya took over him again.

He grunted, clenching his fists. He would have beaten his sister to a pulp if she was a man.

The two slaps he gave her weren't enough to vent his anger.

The policeman left after confirming that the victim was in stable condition. It was at this time that Fayand Yusuf arrived in a hurry.

Fay had purchased a shirt on her way here, as asked by Edmund.

When she arrived at Chelsea's ward, she saw that she was still in a coma. She sat by her bedside andwaited nervously.

Yusuf followed his friend to the hospital's garden. Edmund smoked a cigarette without uttering a word.It was obvious that he was trying to expel the fury that was burning inside him.

After keeping quiet for a long time, Yusuf finally broke the silence. "Dude, what are you going to doabout this?"

"I'll do as the law suggests," Edmund responded without hesitation.

"You aren't serious, are you? If you leave this to the police to handle, your sister will be sent to jail."Yusuf was appalled that Sonya could go to this extent. But he didn't think Edmund would want her to bejailed.

"And so what? That's what she deserves!" Edmund uttered coldly.

Yusuf sighed and sympathized with him. "I get why you are angry. But you need to set your angeraside. Think about how your parents will react to this. They will fight you if you allow your sister to besent to jail."

Edmund took the last puff from the cigarette. He then threw the butt into the trash can. "I don't give afuck!"

His father, Jaime had fled overseas after he got into big trouble due to his infidelity.

Alena had done a terrible job in bringing up Sonya the right way. As far as Edmund was concerned,they had no say in this matter.

Yusuf shrugged and continued, "Come to think of it. Are you sure Sonya is cruel to that extent?"

It was common knowledge that Sonya was a spoiled brat. She was not only arrogant but also stupid.

In Yusuf's opinion, she wasn't smart enough to plan a kidnap, let alone hire two hooligans to rapeChelsea.

If Sonya wanted to get back at Chelsea, she could only slap her in the face or humiliate her in public.Yusuf felt that her brain was pea-sized, so he found it unbelievable that she came up with the idea ofmaking a video and keeping it to blackmail Chelsea in the future.

Edmund understood where his friend was coming from. He uttered, "And so what? It doesn't matterthat Diane instigated Sonya to do all that to Chelsea. She wasn't directly involved so we can't convicther without concrete evidence. Sonya was stupid to have colluded with such a vile woman. She has tolearn that actions have consequences. I have had it up to here with her!"

Edmund decided not to show his sister any mercy this time around.

It was true that Sonya was only a pawn in Diane's hands because she was so stupid.

Edmund hated Diane even more for making his sister do this. The once decent and noble lady of theStevenson family had turned into a vile woman.

It was often said that time will tell.

Time proved that Diane was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Edmund could now see that Chelsea was theonly woman for him. She was precious in his eyes.
