Because I Was an and He Threw Away 319

Chapter 319 Busy Having a Fling 

Alexander had just sent a message to Ashley when he finally looked up at Emily. 

He’d expected to find her still dozing, but there she was, eyes wide open. 

Puzzled by her sudden wake–up, he asked, “What’s going on?” 

She’d been sleeping so soundly just a short while ago. 

With a worried look on his face, he put away his phone and gave her a once–over. 

The bruises on her body were mostly healing, yet some large ones stubbornly remained. 

Spotting Alexander’s concerned gaze, Emily managed a small smile. “Just gotta use the bathroom,” she said. 

Without hesitation, Alexander got to his feet and grabbed the IV bag. “Come on, I’ll go with you,” he offered. 

Engly quickly waved him off. “I’ll just ring for arse,3:13

“The nurses are swamped. I’ll take you.” His tone left no room for argument. 

Emily could tell he wasn’t going to back down. 

As much as she was embarrassed, her bladder was making demands. 

So, she reluctantly agreed. 

Once in the bathroom, Alexander stood by, holding the IV bag. Emily’s face turned beet–red, and she felt incredibly self–conscious as she squatted down. 

Noticing her discomfort, Alexander tried to break the ice. “Do you want to meet my mom?” 

At his question, Emily was shocked for a moment. “What?” 

“You know, my mom’s been dying to meet you. She’s the sweetest lady,” he said, looking straight ahead. 

His words were both an attempt to ease the awkwardness and a genuine sentiment.

After she finished, Emily quickly pulled up her pants.

Alexander turned to her and grinned. “You’ll have to meet her eventually,” he said. 

Emily’s expression grew serious. “I never planned on it,” she retorted. 

However, Alexander just kept smiling. “One day, you will,” he said optimistically. 

But Emily was firm. “No, I won’t,” she stated flatly. 

This got Alexander a bit riled up. With one hand still holding the IV bag, he scooped Emily up with the other and said in a low, stern voice, “I say you will.” 

His words were bossy. 

He carried her back to the hospital bed and plopped her down. After hanging up the IV bag, he took a seat beside her. 

As Alexander leaned over her, his shadow covered Emily. 

Looking into her eyes with a teasing smile, he said, “Come on, you can never win an argument with me. Why not just giyg in this time?”

She averted her eyes and stared into the distance. 

Just as she was racking her brains for a response, her phone buzzed with a text. 

“Let me check my phone first. It might be from the hospital,” Emily blurted out to Alexander. 

It was a plausible excuse, so Alexander simply nodded. 

Emily snatched up her phone and eagerly opened the 

messages. 

The moment she saw the sender, her expression changed. 

It was Ethan, and the message read: [Come back to Joy Gardens.] 

The bossy tone irked Emily. 

Without a second thought, she almost swiped to lock the 

screen. 

But then another message popped up: [Let’s discuss the divorce again.]

Seeing it was about the divorce Emily shot back: [What’s

there to talk about?] 

Ethan replied promptly: [I want to add an extra clause to the agreement.] 

Emily was confused and just sent: [Then tell me the gist of it right now.] 

After two minutes, Ethan replied: [After the divorce, you’re not allowed to see Sophie anymore.] 

Emily was utterly bewildered and sent a question mark. 

Soon, Ethan followed up: [I’ll offer more compensation.] 

But Emily was fuming, saying: [Sophie is my own daughter.] 

Ethan retorted coldly: [She’s yours, but if you don’t care about her getting close to Nancy, then fine.] 

Looking at Ethan’s heartless words, Emily replied firmly: [Once the cooling–off period is over, we’ll get the divorce. As for Sophie, I can’t promise to stay completely out of her life, but I’ll try to keep my distance.]

After sending the message Emily tossed her phone onto

All the while Emily was texting Ethan, Alexander had been eyeing her closely. 

As soon as she put the phone down, he asked softly, “Was it Ethan?” 

Emily nodded. “Yeah.” 

Alexander could have easily peeked at the conversation, but for some reason, he held back. 

Then he inquired, “What did you two talk about?” 

Emily didn’t want to go into details. “It was just small talk. He simply asked how I was doing and showed a bit of concern,” she said vaguely. 

Concern? 

Alexander scoffed, saying, “If he really cared, he’d be right here with you at the hospital, not just sending a few 

texts.” 

Taking what Emily said seriously, he’d assumed they were discussing something serious after such a long exchange, by just “concern“?

It was found ridiculous by Alexander. “Yeah, sure. Busy having a fling with his new girlfriend.” 

Silence fell upon Emily. 

Her casual excuse’s strong–reaction from Alexander hadn’t been expected by her. 

She thought a fit of rage would drive Alexander to storm out, but instead, after a few seconds, a smile flashed at her from him. “Since he’s having a good time, you should, too. Sleep with me and let’s give him a taste of his own medicine.” 

Emily was instantly livid. “You… you pervert!” she snapped. 

“We’ve slept in the same bed before.” Alexander just grinned. 

Emily was indignant. “That was different!” 

Alexander drawled suggestively, “Oh? You want a different kind of ‘sleep‘?” 

The words were laced with hidden meaning, which
