Revenge Against My Ex-husband
Chapter 161 She Must Take Him Back

No sooner had they alighted the plane than Edric turned on his phone, and as expected, they had already learned Eden's whereabouts.

After reading the message, he hurried to grab Irene's hand, who was scurrying in front of him, and said, "Irene, Eden is in the Wellcare Hospital right now."

Swiveling around, Irene asked eagerly, "How is his condition?"

"Don't worry. He was just slightly frightened. The doctor said that there's nothing serious. He can be discharged from the hospital after staying for a few days," Edric answered.

Irene lightened herself with a sigh of relief. She had been worrying about Eden's safety the whole time she was on the plane. Although she also knew that Margaret would not harm Eden, he must have been disoriented since Margaret took him away by force, and it might even aggravate Eden's condition too. However, right then after hearing Edric's words, her heart, which had been tensed up for a long time, could finally beat steadily.

Seeing that Irene was finally talking to him again, Edric said grovellingly, "My people are waiting for us at the entrance. Let's go to the hospital to see Eden immediately."

Irene glared at him before she turned around and continued to move forward.

Seeing that Irene did not refuse his suggestion, Edric secretly felt a trace of gratification in him. He had been afraid that Irene would no longer pay attention to him after that incident, and he would truly be at a loss if it was really that case. That time, he did not dare to forcibly bind her with a contract like before, for he would definitely lose her forever if he did so. She would also never tolerate Eden accepting him as his father either.

Nevertheless, it did not cross Edric's mind that the real reason Irene didn't reject his offer of sending her to the hospital was so she could see Eden as soon as possible.

In addition, she was also worried that Margaret would never allow her to claim Eden back. With Edric there, he could also be a good tool to persuade Margaret. Anyway, she had decided that once she took Eden back from Margaret's hands, she would no longer care about Edric.

After retrieving their luggage, the two of them walked out of the security check. At that moment, they heard someone shouting Irene's name. Irene followed the sound and was greeted with the sight of Kinsey. She walked towards the latter with a smile as Jordan followed behind her, concern underlining his features.

"Kinsey, Jordan, why are you guys here?" Irene was utterly touched to see her two friends there. Needless to say, Nathan must've been worried about her, so he had let them know that she was returning to Haverland and had requested them to pick her up.

Kinsey glared at Edric who was tagging behind Irene and said, "We are afraid that a certain shameless person might harm you again, so we came to help you."

"Why, indeed. Irene, I didn't expect that that man was so thick-skinned that he even went to the Mencodia to look for you. Don't worry. I will help you get Eden back," Jordan said.

Jordan scowled at Edric as he moved forward to take Irene's luggage for her. "Edric, I knew that you were a bad person from the beginning, but I didn't expect that you are so despicable. How could you do such a thing?"

"Give it a rest. Don't blabber about if you don't know the situation." Edric had already been displeased to see Jordan coming to pick Irene up. As it followed, he got even disgruntled after being subjected to such denigration.

"Blabber about?" Jordan sneered. "Do you dare to own up to the reason you went to Mencodia? Wasn't it because you wanted to ruin Irene and Nathan's marriage? Do you really have it in you to say that your bonkers of a mother's actions weren't your idea?"

Kinsey joined in to reproach Edric, "He's right. How could you be so downright vicious? Back then, you drove Irene away because you assumed that she was infertile. And now, you want to steal Eden from Irene after knowing his identity. What a wonderful delusion you have there."

At that time, John came over, and when he saw Edric being criticized by Jordan, he hurriedly spoke for Edric.

"You've both misunderstood the entire situation. Mr. Myers has never thought of stealing Eden from Miss Nelson. It was all Madam Margaret's doing. Now that we have found Eden, let's hurry up and go there. think Miss Nelson is waiting to see Eden as soon as possible too."

Jordan snorted. "I don't care who was the brain behind everything. Eden is veritably Irene's son. No matter who it is, no one can take Eden away against her will. Edric, you'd better talk sense into your mother and get her to let go, or we'll meet in court."

"That's enough, Jordan. Let's go to Eden now!" Irene glanced at Edric's livid face and quickly dragged Jordan away. She knew that Edric was trying to please her right then; that was why he was trying to contain his anger. If Jordan had continued to say as much as a few more words, Edric might blow his fuse and assault him.

Jordan shot another baleful glare at Edric before he followed Irene to the entrance.

As he stared at Irene's back, Edric knew that she wasn't going to take his car to the hospital. He had no choice but to say to John, "Let's go."

In Wellcare Hospital, the exasperated Margaret was looking at the soup that was spilled all over the floor as she shouted at Loraine, who was standing beside her in a panic, "Make haste and clean up!" That was the third time that Eden had knocked over the soup she had cooked. Begrudgingly, Loraine glanced at Eden, who was sitting on the bed while lowering her head to clean up the mess.

In Mencodia, Margaret had tricked Eden out of the White family. They boarded a plane immediately, flying across to San Fetillo with Joanne's cooperation.

When Eden couldn't get to see Irene when he woke up, he had begun to wail loudly. Margaret couldn't coax him no matter what. Then, she immediately sent Eden to the hospital after getting off the plane as she was worried about Eden's health.

Margaret was relieved to hear that Eden's condition was okay. Thus, she'd asked someone to buy a heap of toys for Eden, and she also planned to keep him company.

Eden had been distracted when he saw the toys, but only after a while, he had started to ask for Irene again. He wouldn't drink the soup that Margaret had told Loraine to prepare. He even threw a tantrum and pushed the soup away, spilling it all over Margaret's body.

In the beginning, Margaret managed to hold back her anger. She even crooned Eden in a low voice. However, Eden refused to listen to her and kept speaking of her as a bad grandmother. She was so furious that she vented her anger on Loraine by roasting her that Eden refused to drink the soup because it was too awful. She even ordered Loraine to cook another portion.

Loraine knew that Eden was sulking not because of her cooking skills. However, in the face of the furious Margaret, Loraine didn't dare to raise any objections. Therefore, she had no choice but to go back and prepare another soup for Eden. Yet, the little Eden still refused to drink it. Helplessly, Loraine repeated the same task before Eden knocked it over as usual.

That time, Margaret didn't make things difficult for Loraine anymore. She knew that Eden wouldn't eat anything she gave. Looking at Eden's swollen eyes and his ashen face, Margaret felt sorry for him. His face had been worn away by his illness. In the end, she couldn't help taking out her phone and went to the balcony to call Edric.

Edric was rushing to the hospital in the car right then. When he saw Margaret's number on his phone's screen, he answered the phone in a heartbeat.

Margaret yelled, "Edric, are you back? Hurry up and come to the Wellcare Hospital if you are. Eden keeps crying, and no matter how I coax him, he won't listen to me. It's been more than ten hours. He has only drunk a carton of milk and is not willing to take in anything. I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it if it stretches on like this."

Edric's heart trembled, his temper unleashed. "Mom, look at what you've done. I told you before not to meddle in my business, but you still want to poke your head in it. How does it feel to panic, huh?" "Why can't I? You are my son, and your son is my grandson. How can I leave Eden alone? He is throwing a tantrum right now. Help me pacify him once you reach."

"Fine. I'll be there soon. Don't rattle him anymore. Hurry up and ask Loraine to fix some delicious food. I'll feed him later."

Edric was aware that Eden might not listen to him either, but fortunately, Irene was heading to the hospital too. Eden would definitely eat something after seeing her. Nonetheless, he did not dare to disclose to Margaret that Irene was also coming to the hospital. Otherwise, Margaret would definitely take Eden away again.

"Loraine has already prepared everything. I'll tell her to reheat everything right now." Margaret breathed a sigh of relief and went into the room to order Loraine to heat up the food quickly.

Eden was in a luxury ward, replete with all the facilities possible. Loraine went to heat up the food. While Margaret was watching Eden, she quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Deborah, telling her that Edric had returned from Mencodia and it was very likely that Irene was with him.

That afternoon, Margaret returned to San Fetillo with Eden. It was only then that Loraine knew Eden was Edric's child. She then immediately relayed that information to Deborah. Deborah had instructed Loraine to keep an eye on Margaret and report anything that happened to her immediately. When she learned that Edric was back, of course, she had to report it to Deborah immediately.

After Loraine had entered the kitchen, the door of the ward was pushed open. Margaret heard the noise and hurriedly turned her head. At that sight, she was stunned.

"Eden!" When Irene saw Eden sobbing on the bed from the door of the ward, tears streamed down immediately. She then rushed to Eden's bed quickly and held him in her arms.

"Mom, you're finally here. I was so scared!" When Eden, who had been terrified for a long time, saw Irene, he felt happy and aggrieved at the same time. He cried and threw himself into Irene's arms and hugged her tightly, afraid that she would disappear again.

Feeling Eden's little body quivering in her arms, Irene felt like her heart was sliced by a knife. He patted Eden's back gently and comforted him, "Eden, you don't need to be afraid anymore. I am here to take you home. I'll never leave you again."

Incredulous, Margaret stared at Irene. She only expected Edric's arrival, but she didn't anticipate seeing Irene there. Needless to say, she must have come back with Edric, for that was the only reason she learned about Eden's whereabouts so quickly. From the looks of it, she would definitely take Eden away.

Fear sprouted from the bottom of her heart. Margaret stepped forward and hugged Eden. She said sternly to Irene, "Don't even think of taking Eden away. He's my grandson."

Irene was caught off guard and Eden was almost carried over by Margaret. Then, Irene grabbed Eden's arm in a panic and glared at Margaret. "Let go. Didn't you see that Eden is crying?"

"You should be the one to let go! I finally took my grandson back after so much difficulty. I won't let you take him away." Margaret didn't let Eden go. Instead, she tried to hold Eden with all her strength. Eden was so scared that he desperately called for Irene. Irene felt both anxious and angry, but she wasn't willing to yank Eden with such force. As soon as she loosened her hand, Margaret managed to carry Eden away.

When Margaret turned her head and saw Loraine coming out of the kitchen, she said to her, "Loraine, drive her away."

Loraine looked at Margaret before she finally settled her gaze on Irene. She hesitated and dared not move.

"Put Eden down, or you'll scare him." Seeing Eden bawling his eyes out, Irene's heart was in tatters. Yet, she didn't dare to take Eden away from Margaret, as she was afraid that Eden would fall on the ground like that time in Mencodia.

At that time, two more people rushed in from outside the door. They were Kinsey and Jordan. Observing the situation in the room, Kinsey went forward and pried Margaret's hand away from Eden, cursing, "You psycho, put Eden down quickly."

When Irene saw that her reinforcements were there, she quickly reached out to hold Eden. Margaret's hand hurt so much because of Kinsey; she then released Eden due to the pain.

Irene held Eden in her arms and flounced out. Without waiting for the elevator, she ran down the stairs. When Margaret saw that, she chased after her in a fit of rush. Disregarding her usual elegance, she shrieked and tugged at Irene.

Irene was worried that she might hurt Eden; therefore, she shoved Margaret away. Margaret, an elderly, couldn't stand Irene's push and toppled backward. She landed heavily on the ground and rolled down the stairs.
