My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 420 Attraction

Freya’s body swayed as she desperately gripped a nearby tree branch. She clenched her teeth, forcing herself to remain strong.

Before dinner, Jamie was probably afraid that she would reveal something during the meal. So, he made her take her regular medicine, temporarily suppressing her craving for Icy Sea.

If everything went according to his plans, dinner should have ended around now. So, it wast time for her usual injection of Icy Sea from him.

She couldn’t endure this agony for much longer!

Her hands started trembling, and the shaking became even more violent as the seconds ticked by. So, she soon found it difficult to stand.

Edward, who was worried that she would fall from the tree, cried, “What’s going on, Freya? Why don’t

you come down? I’ll smuggle you out through the front door!”

Even if they couldn’t pa*s through the front door, he had to find a way to send her away.

Alas, her vision blurred, and the pain was so intense that her craving for Icy Sea became even stronger. She could barely drag enough oxygen into her lungs as she leaned against the branch for support.

“I-I’m fine,” Freya stuttered through gritted teeth. The opportunity to leave was right in front. of her. She couldn’t afford to give this up due to this forced addiction that she had never wanted in the first place!

So, she forced herself to reach for the next tree branch..

Not far away, a cold voice suddenly spoke, “Do you think it’s a good idea to let her go?”

Freya, who was on the tree, and Edward, who was standing right below said tree, mechanically turned their heads toward the source of the voice.

Jamie, who was supported by Monkey, walked over. His arm was bleeding profusely. The wound was probably self-inflicted in order to keep himself awake.

Edward narrowed his eyes. “Jamie, let her go!”

Jamie merely sneered at Edward as he spat, “Edward, you truly are a wonderful brother. You actually drugged me for a woman!”

Edward stood in front of Jamie. “I said let her go!”

Jamie regarded Freya’s trembling hand with mocking eyes. “She’s deeply addicted to drugs. With her current condition, letting her go would only cause her unending misery. Kundin is not as safe as Florin, and it’s a country rife with patriarchy. A woman like her will be taken. away by some unsavory men as soon as she makes an appearance outside.”

Edward couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “What did you say? How did she become addicted to drugs?!”
