Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Melinda was searching the file for Jonas. Jonas nearly asked her to scrutinize the latest document. The reason that he did not allow it to happen was simple. He could read the data faster than her.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Hearing the usual tap, Melinda stopped what she was doing for a moment, handed over the file to Jonas, and made her way to open the door.

Emily stood at the other side, tidied up her hair, and displayed a sweet smile to show her best impression. The moment the door opened, the two women looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into an unusual silence.

"Miss Bai."

Melinda reacted first and then greeted Emily with a smile. Emily was unhappy to see her as a hostess, but she did not show it on her face.

"Jonas, how are you feeling? I'm sorry that I haven't visited you for so long. I've been swamped with work. Thank you for taking care of him lately, Miss Mo."

Emily went straight inside the ward, completely ignoring Melinda. Seeing that Jonas was awake and leaning against the bed, she sauntered up to him and said culpably, feeling very sorry for him.

Her words put Melinda to embarrassment.

Melinda's fingers barely wrapped on the door handle. Watching the two people being closer together, she couldn't explain what she felt.

"You're hurt. How could William arrange so many tasks for you to do? I must talk to him next time."

Noticing that Jonas was still dealing with documents, Emily appeared a little disappointed. She looked sulky and then took the papers from his hand and began to read it. If there was something that she didn't understand, she would ask him.

They were so familiar with each other. Melinda looked down and gripped the doorknob tightly. Then she forced a smile and spun around, preparing to leave.

Jonas was no longer in the mood for business at all. He didn't pay attention to what Emily read but kept an eye on Melinda's actions.

"Melinda, please give Miss Bai some water to drink."

After he realized that Melinda was about to go, Jonas called her out. Melinda froze and then shut the door. She poured a glass of water for Emily.

Emily had been watching them from the corner of her eyes. She was secretly excited when she saw that Melinda was about to leave them alone, but she did not expect Jonas to let her stay for such a reason.

But this was an insult to Melinda right on her face. How could Jonas ask her to take care of Emily's needs as if she was a special guest?

"If there is nothing else that you want, I will head out first."

Standing aside and feeling left out, Melinda was slightly uneasy with this set-up. This room was spacious, but there was no place for her to situate herself.

"Who's going to take care of me once you're not around? You can take some rest first, and then return,"

Jonas said. Yet, he was a little annoyed that Melinda didn't realize he was trying to stop her from leaving the room.

Melinda pursed her lips and wanted to take off. Seeing his persistent look, she finally sat down on the other bed.

During the last few days, she had been spending much time at the hospital. She slept beside the bed of Jonas, making her feel relieved.
