The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 514 - 502

Since Joanna was able to keep a safe distance from him, she left the room nonchalantly.

They had to admit that Nancy’s recipe was almost miraculous. Despite merely having had one cup of the tea, he noticed that his wounds were much less painful the next morning. The effects were quite obvious, as he seemed more energetic as well.

"Ace, have some water." Seraphina poured Ace some warm water carefully. As she stared at the steam coming from the glass, she looked for a reaction when she asked, "Do you remember you said the other day that we could get married once you are discharged? Is that offer still available?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Feeling the warmth of the water around the glass, Ace raised an eyebrow at her question. "Of course. Why do you ask?"

"You’ve been so distracted for the past few days! I just feel kind of insecure!" Seraphina whined softly, then started picturing their future. "I’ve been thinking for a while, and I think it’s best we change our wedding venue."

"Why? I remember you said your dream wedding would be in Tahato, though?"

The reason why Ace had such fondness towards Tahato was that he remembered the woman mentioning multiple times that she wanted a romantic beach wedding in that area, despite his fragmented memories.

In reality, his memories weren’t false at all. It really did happen, but the woman within this memory was actually Joanna and not Seraphina.

For the longest time, Ace had kept this romantic idea within his heart and wished to make it into a reality for her.

"Oh, come on, people change. I used to like Tahato, but now I like Paris! I’d like to have a wedding in an old castle-like building. So why don’t we get married in the largest cathedral in Paris?"

Seraphina knew that she had never mentioned a beach wedding in the past. However, the man’s persistence in organizing one was more than enough evidence that his memories were starting to distort.

If that were the case, she had to ’right the wrongs’ and erase any memories that were related to a certain someone and replace them with herself instead.

"Hey, come on, say something? Don’t you think a castle wedding is more romantic? I’d like to be a princess marrying my prince charming, who I loved for so many years..." Seraphina bashfully confessed, only to find the man staring into space, paying no attention at all. She frowned in an instant. "Ace, what’s on your mind? Are you listening to me?"

Ace snapped back to reality and pressed his lips, then told the truth. "I was thinking if I should be taking my medicine now."

"M... Medicine?"

"My afterlife buddy said I have to drink it twice per day. It should be time to drink some, so why isn’t she here yet?"

"So... You... You were waiting for her?" Seraphina said, her face stiff as her lips twitched in annoyance.

She had never felt so humiliated before. Despite being right next to him, despite her excitement regarding their wedding plans, his heart and soul were longing for another instead.

"I’m not waiting for her. I was waiting for the medicine," Ace said as he moved his arms around, smiling with intrigue. "You have to admit that it works pretty well."

Seraphina clenched her fists, trying her best to suppress her rage. She then spoke softly, "I think so too. Let me rush her for you."

She then angrily ran towards the end of the hallway, where Joanna’s ward was.

However, there was someone else in the ward this time, and the nurse mentioned that the woman was discharged...

"What? She’s been discharged?" Seraphina felt a bit suspicious, torn between feeling happy and angry at her actions. "How can she just leave without saying anything?!"

She should’ve known that this woman couldn’t be trusted. They had promised to wait for Ace to get better before leaving, but now, he was still bedridden and she had already left. She just couldn’t keep her promises!

"Are you Miss Murphy?" The nurse asked cautiously.

"Yes, what’s wrong?" Seraphina snapped at the nurse in irritation. She didn’t know why, but Joanna’s abrupt departure made her feel uneasy. Joanna wasn’t the type who would give up easily, so she had to be hiding an ace up her sleeve!

"I was told by Miss Pierce to give this medicine to you. She said it works wonders, and hopes that you brew it carefully," the nurse explained, then handed over a cube of the medicine to Seraphina.

"For me?" Seraphina stared at the medicine in confusion, wondering what Joanna was up to. She opened up the medicine, and saw that there was tiny text on the packaging that was completely indiscernible to her eyes.

’Is Joanna giving me this miraculous medicine so she can become the heroine who saves Ace? No, there’s no way! This medicine could be poison meant to cause my downfall. I will never use it!’ Seraphina thought with a sneer. With a heavy heart, she returned to Ace’s room.

Ace’s gaze was dull, but his hearing was sharp. When he heard footsteps outside his door, his face lit up. "Is my medicine here?" He asked hopefully.

Seraphina felt even more agitated, and answered flatly, "No, she’s been discharged."

She wasn’t stupid. She knew that though Ace was asking about the medicine, he actually wanted to know about Joanna. It hurt her pride.

"She was discharged..." Ace’s expression visibly dimmed.

It was like being seated at an exclusive restaurant, about to take a bite of your delicious food, but before you could, it was taken away without warning.

It was terribly disappointing.

"Since she’s recovered, of course she has to be discharged. She has no connection to you, so she can’t be like me and take care of you throughout the day." Seraphina’s voice was filled with jealousy. She then crumpled up the medicine instructions into a ball before throwing it into the trash can. She thought, ’Hmph, regardless of whether this medicine is a miracle or not, I will never use something that woman gave me!’

Ace’s face fell, and he raised an eyebrow at Seraphina’s tone, feeling like he had crossed a line. ’Someone who has no connection to me doesn’t deserve my attention. I haven’t even seen her face! Only the person in front of me is worthy of my love and devotion!’

"Seraphina, you’re being petty. I was only dismayed at the loss of an attendant... Come here and give me a hug, don’t be mad," Ace cajoled her warmly, his arms wide open.

"That’s more like it!" Seraphina snuggled into his embrace, her heart flooding with happiness.

’Looks like Pierce had some sense of self-awareness. She knew it would be beneficial for our relationship if she disappeared!’
