My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore
Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Daniel Xander got the first-hand news of Marissa, but he didn’t inform Gregory.

Just then, Gregory got a call from Melvin.

He answered with a flattered expression.

He thought that the marriage of convenience between the two families was probably going to happen.

On the phone, Melvin made an appointment to meet him, but the former didn’t disclose the details.

But it was a big step forward.

Gregory had made it through so many days of anxiety and hardships.

Hence, he was not in a hurry as he understood patience was the key.

Melvin asked Gregory to meet him and Daniel Xander at Coleman Group in Baykeep tomorrow morning.

It was a marriage between the children of the two.

However, it was seen as a business negotiation.

Gregory could not eat or sleep during that time.

He was afraid that all the effort he had invested in the company would go to waste.

Once that happened, he would become a down-and-out boss.

In fact, during that period, he had genuinely empathized with the business owners who had gone bankrupt and had faced such despair that they had resorted to drastic actions.

One terrible nightmare after another had haunted him.

Those who had once been called friends and relatives had avoided him as if he had been a plague all that time.

They had also refused to answer his call at all.

Alternatively, they played the sympathy card by claiming that their companies were in dire financial straits.

Gregory sat in the study, sinking into a plush leather executive chair, looking dejected.

Chapter 41

His mind was like a projector, vividly displaying his recent sorrows and feelings of helplessness.

When Lucia saw that Gregory was staying in the study for a long time, she made him a cup of coffee.

Lucia thought he had received bad news when she saw his dejected expression.

Her face instantly turned pale as well.

She asked fearfully and prayed in her heart. “Gregory, what’s wrong?”

She had grown accustomed to the life of a wealthy lady. If she had to put on plain attire and deal with the mundane challenges of daily life again, she would go mad.

“Lucia, you’re here just in time. I have good news to share with you.” Gregory pulled Lucia over and let her sit right on his lap.

Lucia was startled by Gregory’s sudden enthusiasm after so many years of marriage.

Soon she heard Gregory speak again, “There’s hope for the Xander family. Melvin just called and asked us to meet him in Baykeep tomorrow.”

Lucia’s heart rate began to stabilize at that moment. It had truly been a roller coaster ride.

She deliberately nudged him and said, “You scare me to death. When I came in here to see you, you looked so dejected that I thought you had some bad news.”

Her expression immediately lit up again. “It feels so good that we have finally gotten through our difficult days. I can’t even imagine what life we endured during that time.” Then Lucia remembered something and asked, “What did Melvin say on the phone? Did he mention any conditions?”

Gregory shook his head and said, “This kind of thing is not suitable to discuss on the phone. We will meet tomorrow anyway. Let’s talk about it then. Besides, there is nothing to be coveted in the Xander family.”

Lucia also felt that it made sense when she heard her husband’s analysis.

With that, Lucia said she would ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes for dinner.

It had been a while since the Xander family had received such exciting news.

She intended to prepare a lavish meal, considering it a way to dispel their bad luck and enhance their enthusiasm for the negotiations scheduled for the following day.

In the meantime, Edward knew Kimberly was closely monitoring the bone marrow

issue.

The moment he received the call, he promptly entered Timothy’s son’s bone marrow. information into the system and used every available resource to replace a suitable match.

Timothy was a top professor in the respective industry, so there was no need to worry about expenses.

However, after a long search, he was still unable to replace a bone marrow match for his

son.

It turned out that his son had a rare bone marrow disease.

Finding a bone marrow match was already a challenging task.

It was even more difficult to replace a suitable match for his son.

The probability of getting a match was exceedingly low.

Fortunately, Edward had spent some time with his mentor in Japrium, which had the best medical resources in the world

He had contacted his mentor and had finally solved the problem.

However, according to the mentor’s feedback, the bone marrow was rare.

There was another man named Levine who paid a high price to replace the bone marrow.

Edward naturally knew that the man was Christopher.

It seemed that Christopher and Timothy were in the same boat, otherwise, the former wouldn’t have taken the initiative personally

Vincent and Kimberly seemed to have met a strong opponent.

Fortunately, Edward had made his move first.

As Kimberly had arranged, Olivia, Jaxon, and Vincent went to visit Timothy.

Timothy, of course, was hard to persuade.

Therefore, they chose to look for a breakthrough from his wife, Sharmaine Griffin.

Timothy and Sharmaine had only one son, and they were getting older. No matter how much wealth they had accumulated in their lives, it would be meaningless if they lost their only son.

They soon found Timothy’s home address with the help of Vincent, the top hacker.

Chapter 41

They were afraid they would run into Timothy on their way there.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, Timothy happened to go to the hospital to visit his

son.

Even fate seemed to help them.

When they met Sharmaine, she seemed dejected and had no desire to greet the unfamiliar faces.

She simply closed the door and prepared to bid them farewell.

Unexpectedly, Olivia was the first to rush in and said to her sincerely, “Mrs. Griffin, we are here to help you.”

When Sharmaine heard that, she was stunned and withdrew her hand that had been intended to close the door.

When Olivia saw that Sharmaine seemed moved by her words, she quickly continued, “We have heard about your son’s illness. We can help you replace the right bone marrow match so he can be saved.”

Sharmaine was already in a desperate state at that time. But when she heard the word “bone marrow”, her eyes lit up.

She grabbed Olivia’s hand and asked, “Are you serious? Can you really replace the right bone marrow match for my son?”

Olivia felt her hands throbbing with pain from Sharmaine’s tight grip, but she ignored it.

She just let Sharmaine hold her hands.

“This woman is pathetic, Olivia said to herself.

Vincent noticed that Olivia was gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, so he hurriedly alerted Sharmaine.

Only then did Sharmaine realize her mistake.

She promptly invited them into the house, gesturing for them to take a seat and engage in a conversation.

Sharmaine was a little hesitant when she heard that they wanted Timothy to appear in

court.

Of course, she knew what was going on with her husband.

She was just in a dilemma right now.

On one hand, it was his son’s life at stake.

On the other hand, it was her husband’s future.

When Olivia and the others saw that, they understood her difficulties. They deliberately proposed to leave.

They gave Sharmaine a phone number before they left, asking her to discuss the matter with Timothy and make a reply as soon as possible.

Olivia was certain that Sharmaine and Timothy would compromise in the end, as she observed Sharmaine’s anguish.

It was the same for all parents.

If they had tried their best but were unable to replace a solution, they might feel regret not enduring guilt for the rest of their lives.

but

However, if an opportunity presented itself, yet they refused to relinquish their pursuit of fame and fortune for the sake of their children’s lives, their conscience would haunt them for the remainder of their days.

It was harsh, but that was the court, and that was life.
