Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 86

"Why didn't you tell me first?"

Feeling that her face was moist, Melinda took a piece of paper towel to wipe her face. After calming down, she slowly asked in a husky voice.

Hearing this, Jonas was nervous. He seemed to have done something wrong.

"Mellie, are you crying?"

Jonas asked in a soft voice. He had been full of uncertainty when the loud announcement on the airport broadcast reminded him to board. But thinking of the news he had read, he made up his mind.

"No. You suddenly came back because of your pending work at the office, right?"

Taking a sip of water, Melinda tried to raise her spirits. She calmed herself down and began to ponder if it was because of something urgent in the company that Jonas had to return home early.

The two of them had been busy traveling for half a month. Melinda could convince herself right now with such justification, but she still had some apprehensions in her heart. Even so, Jonas could always check up on her and then they could fly back home together.

He knew well that she couldn't comprehend or speak the local language in this foreign country. She would be panicky without him around.

"Emily was injured during the shooting."

After a long pause, Jonas finally admitted the real reason to her. This unexpected news made Melinda's heart sink.

She suddenly shivered and thought how chilly it was that evening in Japan.

The broadcast reminded him the second time around to embark on the plane. Jonas knew that he couldn't delay it anymore. "Mellie, I have to go back to check for myself. It's time for me to board. Have fun in Japan. I've already arranged a tour guide for you."

Since their trip wasn't over yet, Jonas felt a little guilty about returning home in advance. He had thought of taking her back with him. However, it was already late at night. He desired Melinda to have a good time, so he hired a tour guide to accompany Melinda wherever she wished to go.

As she listened to Jonas in silence, Melinda's heart grew colder and colder. Without saying any word, Melinda hung up the phone.

Should she be relieved that she could stay behind and enjoy the sights with a local guide? When Jonas was worried about Emily, he didn't forget to arrange the itinerary for her. Perhaps he was concerned that Melinda might go back and sabotage their relationship.

Melinda sat on the floor, and her hands dangled feebly. Her mobile phone fell on the floor and made a crisp sound.

The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt. Suddenly, she remembered that Jonas mentioned Emily sustaining an injury during the shooting. Hence, she picked up her mobile phone to check domestic news.

There were already several press released about Emily's injury on Weibo. She quickly browsed it and roughly figured out the incident.

She learned from the news online that Emily was seriously hurt, so Jonas must be distraught.

With a mocking smile, Melinda wondered whether she was laughing at herself or at her relationship with Jonas.

Over the past two weeks, she had forgotten all of her sorrows and sufferings. She followed her own sincere heart, hoping to get along well with Jonas because when he said he liked her, his eyes were sincere.

He also deleted Emily's contact information in front of her and his grandpa. He brought her with him to make her watch the break-up scene between them.

At the thought of this, Melinda felt like a fool. If Jonas liked Emily, what was the use in deleting her contact information or severing ties with her?

Jonas could also find out news updates of Emily from many places.

"Melinda, you are so stupid,"

Melinda said in a faint voice, her arms wrapped around her shins, and her chin resting on her knees. She couldn't help but shed tears, and the recent events flashed through her mind like a passing breeze. Finally, their act stopped when the two signed the agreement.

From now on, it was not about relationships but benefits.

Her heart couldn't stand such disgrace anymore.

Nelson had believed in their love. She just needed to wait until Jonas inherited the family property. Then she would file for a divorce.

Residing in her hometown and living with her grandparents might prove beneficial to her and her writing career. Anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with Jonas after that.

As Melinda considered this, she leaned her head against the wall and fell asleep. The screen of her phone was still on, and Emily's injury was on display.

Jonas boarded the plane, but he was a little flustered. He recalled the story regarding Emily's accident and crash from the harness while shooting.

They had announced something terrible had happened but had no updates about it.

In China, Emily was quite satisfied that the news of her mishap had spread worldwide. She believed that Jonas wouldn't be so heartless, and that he would show some compassion when he saw this news.

In fact, Jonas had received a call from William before he learned the situation of Emily's injury on the Internet.

"Many reporters outside asked about your injury, and your fans are concerned about you. Are you really not going to send a message to inform them of your safety?"

Emily's injury had been dealt with. Now she was lying on the bed with a bunch of flowers by her side, which made the quiet ward more alive.

Her agent stood in front of Emily and looked at Emily with displeasure.

Emily had made many decisions and had made a lot of news about herself before informing her, which made her very unhappy. But she didn't want to force Emily to do anything, because Emily had Jonas as her backer.

Fortunately, Emily was not that bad. Not long ago, she had received a lot of projects because of Jonas.
