The Untouchable Ex-Wife



Chapter 2003

As the child of a physician, Margaret could cure many difficult and rare diseases. She felt that Joanne's gloominess was the result of her weak body, and that she would one day get better as long as she nourished her body well.

"Just stay here and rest. I have a bit of medical knowledge and can help your body recover. As long as you feel better and more energized, you won't feel depressed or want to kill yourself." At that point, Margaret held Joanne's hand and carefully took her pulse. Instantly, her expression turned serious. "Oh, gosh! What's wrong with your pulse? Oh, you poor girl. What have you been through?" Margaret was a medical expert, and could glimpse into people's past just by taking their pulse. She felt quite sorry for Joanne. "You suffered a lot a few years back, and no normal person would be able to take that. No wonder you feel so hopeless... Anyone else wouldn't have been able to hold on." While talking, Margaret started getting teary. "Oh, girl. You've suffered so much. Don't worry, it's all in the past. You're here now, and we're here for you. Everything will get better." Margaret could feel that Joanne had suffered outrageous abuse. Both her body and mind were tortured as a result of abuse from crazy and cruel men, and her sexual organs had collapsed because of it. She might never become a mother for the rest of her life, and her collapsed organs might cause her to age seriously in the future. When she was forty, she might look fifty. But she was considered very strong since she had survived until now with that trauma.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Thank you, Margaret." Joanne kept her head hung in embarrassment. "I'm sorry you had to see something so shameful. I led quite a messy life a few years back, and I didn't have a say about my body. I was just a plaything for those cruel men. I wanted to die many times, but they didn't allow me to... Later, Mr. Osborne and Ms. Everheart freed me, and Mr. Hunt gave me a new life. If I chose to die, then I would have wronged them... so I survived until now." Joanne knew that any capable physician would be able to tell her past just by her pulse, and they would see her as an immoral woman. Although it hadn't been her intention, she could not hide it. She was once a lady of the night who had worked at a red-light district, so she was embarrassed and ashamed to face Margaret. She felt dirty and used.

"Silly girl, don't say that. It's all in the past, and what's most important is the future. Yes, your health is bad, but it can be solved if you take my advice and nourish your body well every day."

"No!" Joanne shook her head. "You all don't have to be so nice to me. I'm not related to your family, and even if I am.... I was the one who nearly got Quinton killed. You and Ms. Everheart should scold me or throw me out."

"No, you're wrong!" Renee had been outside the door when she heard that. She pushed open the door and hurried in agitatedly.
