Starting With A Divorce Chapter 149

Chapter 149 A Childhood Sweetheart

Was it because of the person he picked up from the airport? Who exactly was that

person?

“Aisy, I had something very important that day, so I didn’t get the call,” Manuel explained.

Ainsley smiled lightly and said, “Something important? What was it?”

“A friend returned home.”

“Who is that person? Who are you accompanying?” Ainsley propped herself up and

looked at him in disbelief.

Manuel said, “The two families are family friends. I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would happen. Otherwise, I would have…”

“What? A childhood sweetheart? I got it. You go away.” Ainsley gradually turned

indifferent.

So it was all the same. Cason was, and so was Manuel.

No wonder Matteo kept saying that Manuel wasn’t a good guy and told her not to get close to Manuel. Now it seemed she was the one who was fooled.

Maybe Matteo stopped her because he knew about his childhood sweetheart.

When Cason’s crush came back, she had to pack up and vacate her place. She had thought that Manuel would be different, but she didn’t expect it to be the same.

If he liked someone else, why did he bother her?

After her return, he was indifferent to her and made her sad.

“Aisy, you believe me. I never…” He paused but didn’t know what to continue.

He didn’t even dare to mention Irene’s name in front of Ainsley.

Ainsley smiled miserably and suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter grew louder and louder until tears slipped down her face before she spoke, “So, you know about my kidnapping? So you’ve been with that childhood sweetheart for the past few days, right?”

Manuel still didn’t say anything. He didn’t know what to say. Could he say that he didn’t want Irene to hurt her?

Even he couldn’t accept it.

Ainsley wiped her tears and pointed at the door. She broke down and yelled, “I know. Mr. Gage, please leave.”

Ainsley’s eyes were scarlet. She stared straight at Manuel as if she was going to go crazy in the next second.

Manuel looked at her like this. He felt very distressed. He wanted to comfort her but did not know what to say. Then he turned around and left.

The moment his figure disappeared, Ainsley let go of her strength and tears slipped silently down her face.

Outside the hospital, Manuel sat in his car and made a phone call. “What’s the situation with the Wade family?”

“What? Applegath is signing up both the Wade family and us?”

“Did we get that new batch of instruments?” He asked methodically about all the company’s affairs.

The Gage Group was the biggest business in Seattle, but it was still held back by the

Wade family. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

The Wade family was a long–standing family. He couldn’t do anything rashly until he was completely free from the control.

Irene was ruthless and could do anything. He was not afraid to take risks, but he did not dare to take risks with Ainsley.

In the intensive care unit, Ainsley lay in a white bed, weeping silently.

She had been deceived over and over again. Were the vows Manuel had made false?

The words they said during their walk downstairs, the words they said on the resort island and the pink diamond necklace he sent were all fake?

She didn’t want to believe it, but she had to.

The door was pushed open and Serina came over. There was a small bench by the wall, where Serina had placed it. She sat on it, facing the wall and staring blankly.

Ainsley also stared at the wall, sobbed and dried her tears with a tissue.

After a long time, Serina suddenly stood up and walked in front of Ainsley. She reached out her hand to cross the tear marks on Ainsley’s face.

“Serina, are you caring about me?” Ainsley forced out a smile.

But Serina remained silent. She got worse after the kidnapping. Now she didn’t even say

anything.

After her discharge from the hospital, Ainsley never mentioned Manuel again, which surprised Matteo.

Late at night, Ainsley tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Unlike when she learned that Cason wanted a divorce, she was angry and resentful at the time.

But now, she felt her heart ache.

Under the pain, she heard a small voice from the next room.

What was Serina doing?

She got up from the bed and walked out of the room. The door to Serina’s room was opened. She saw Serina walking inside with her back turned to her.

“Serina?” She said softly.

But Serina didn’t respond. Suddenly a bright light flashed and Ainsley shivered.

She subconsciously stepped into the room and saw a horrifying scene as she

approached Serinal

She saw Serina’s hand holding a kitchen knife, but her eyes were still closed. She was

saying creepy words. “Die, all die.”

Ainsley’s remaining sleepiness disappeared instantly. Her goosebumps rose. She

instantly rushed to Serina and grabbed her hand with the kitchen knife. “Serina, what are

you doing?”

At that moment, Serina seemed to wake up. She opened her eyes and shook off Ainsley. The sharp and cold kitchen knife cut through her arm.

A bright red mark instantly appeared on her arm.

It hurt!

Ainsley held back the pain. Serina held the kitchen knife up in front of her and slashed back and forth as if countless bad guys were standing in front of her.

“Serina! Wake up!” She screamed with great effort, afraid that Serina would hurt herself.

But at this moment Serina seemed to not even recognize her. She felt that even if she went over there, she would get a vicious slash. The bright red mark on her arm was

evidence.

The burning pain was as if a million ants were etching her arm.

She found the right moment to lunge at the kitchen knife, holding the handle and trying

to snatch it off.

Serina lost her mind. Ainsley was faced with a madman, a reckless madman.

But Ainsley didn’t want to hurt Serina. While trying to take the knife down, she had to

keep Serina safe.

“Serina, calm down. Don’t you even know me? I’m Ainsley!” She tried to keep her voice as

soft as possible.

A footstep came. Ainsley saw Matteo appearing at the door as she struggled with

Serina.

She instantly let out a scream, “Matteo! Come and help me!”

Matteo rushed over and took the kitchen knife that was between them.

Serina started screaming frantically, covering her ears and cowering in the corner.

Ainsley looked at the knife with fear and gestured to Matteo to stop Serina. She took out

a syringe from the table and stuck it into the back of Serina’s neck.

Serina collapsed directly into Ainsley’s arms. “Matteo, come and help me.”

After placing Serina on the bed, Ainsley breathed a sigh of relief.

“Come with me.” Matteo’s voice was serious.

Ainsley followed Matteo to the living room and watched as he brought out the medical box to bandage the wound on her arm.

“Send Serina back. She should be sent straight to a mental hospital in her current state. You should know better than I do.” Matteo’s tone was cold.

It was such a horrible wound. This time it was a kitchen knife. What if she killed

someone next time?
