Spoiled Ex-Wife: Daddy, Mommy Ran Away Again

"Weldon is returning home?"

Everleigh Lewis was pregnant for over eight months. She was in the children's room, neatly folding the new clothes she had recently purchased, when she heard the servants talking about Weldon Harris.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

She wondered if he was returning home because of her pregnancy.

Her insides bubbled with happiness, and her hands trembled. She was ecstatic.

Weldon was the father of her babies.

However, she had only met him once since they got married. He left that night and never returned. Everleigh never saw him again.

"Babies, I know your daddy doesn't like me, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is for him to see you step into this world. I'll be the happiest woman in the world."

Tears trickled down her cheeks as she touched her bulging stomach. Her beautiful face beamed with joy.

Two days later, as expected, the eldest son of the Harris family, who had disappeared after his marriage, finally returned.

Everleigh clutched her belly and ran downstairs when she heard the voices.

However, the blood on her face drained when she reached the stairway. Her gaze fell on the woman, standing beside the man she longed to meet.

"What's this, Weldon? I asked you to accompany your wife during the delivery. Why have you brought this woman with you?"

"Don't you know what it means? I've clearly told you this marriage has nothing to do with me and that I'm going to marry Raelynn Griffiths. She is standing right by my side."

Weldon was wearing a thin black windbreaker. His chiseled, handsome face looked cold as his deep eyes stared at his father. He looked like he was covered in a layer of ice.

Weldon's father, Trevor Harris, grew furious when he heard that.

"You bastard! Don't you know Everleigh is getting close to labor? How could you make such an insensitive remark?"

"So what? I'm merely stating the truth. If you hadn't drugged me on the night of my wedding, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place. Her babies don't deserve to step into this world!"

The room fell silent in an instant.

But his words continued to echo in Everleigh's ears.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest as if someone had stabbed her heart. Her vision grew blurry as she heard the muffled argument downstairs.

However, none of it mattered. She couldn't think of anything else but Weldon saying her children didn't deserve to step into this world.

The words shattered her heart.

"Ah! Mrs. Harris! Look at her! She is bleeding!"

"What?"

Everyone in the Harris family turned to look at her.

The father and son ceased arguing and looked at her in horror.

They saw Everleigh standing at the stairway, blood streaming down her legs.

Her dress had turned red. She had lost a lot of blood.

Weldon's face tightened.

"Weldon, your love is great. I see you find happiness by trampling on your own children. Do you think you can live with that?" Everleigh said, staring into Weldon's eyes as she tumbled down the stairs.

Those were the first words she uttered before him since she married him.

Weldon was taken aback.

Before he could speak, Everleigh fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"Take her to the hospital! Hurry up!" Trevor shouted his order.

Soon, Everleigh was admitted to the hospital.

"Weldon, don't beat yourself up about it. It's not your fault. How could your family get you married to a random woman without your approval? And how dare that woman curse you? Weldon..."

Raelynn Griffiths tried comforting Weldon.

However, before she could finish speaking, the man who had never lost his cool before her glared at her.

"That's enough! Shut up! It's none of your business!" Weldon bellowed, anger blazing in his eyes.

Raelynn shuddered and dared not utter another word. She gritted her teeth and cursed Everleigh in her heart.

Raelynn wished for Everleigh to die along with her babies. That would be the best for her.

An hour passed after Everleigh was sent to the hospital.

The obstetrician walked out of the operating room with a baby in his arms. Seeing Trevor and the others looking at him with expectant eyes, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Harris. We couldn't save the mother. She had a hemorrhage during the delivery, but we managed to save one of the triplets."

Trevor was stunned. He couldn't believe Everleigh was no more.

Of his three grandkids and daughter-in-law, only one baby survived. He couldn't take it anymore.

Trevor clutched his chest and fell backward.

"Mr. Harris! Mr. Harris!"

By the time Weldon heard the news, he had already left the house with Raelynn. He was heading to his private apartment downtown.

His hands on the steering wheel froze when he received the news from his assistant.

"What? She is dead?"

"Yeah, she was in poor health. The doctor couldn't save her after the hemorrhage. But one of the triplets is alive. It's a boy, and your father has taken him home."

The assistant gave a detailed description of the event in the hospital. Fearing Weldon wouldn't believe him, he took a picture of Everleigh and the other two babies' corpses covered in a white cloth.

Weldon's pupils shrank when he saw that.

The next moment, he slammed the brakes. The car screeched to a halt in the middle of the road.

Five years passed after that day.

Everleigh was in a famous hospital in Prario.

She was in a meeting room, wearing the doctor's scrubs, looking at the case analysis report as she spoke to the medical experts.

Her hair was short and styled elegantly. The natural makeup seemed to accentuate her flawless skin and perfect features. Her eyes dazzled like diamonds.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Lewis. You mean this patient doesn't need surgery because you can cure her with traditional needle therapy?"

"Yes, if you believe me."

Everleigh flipped through the medical records with a small smile on her face.

She was Nancy Lewis now.

Everleigh didn't die in the hospital. The obstetrician had saved her life five years ago. She had pleaded with the doctor to announce that she was dead.

She would rather die than return to the Harris family.

Later, she came here and used the traditional treatment skills passed down to her from the ancestors of the Lewis family to get a job as a doctor.

The people in the conference room were skeptical when they heard her conclusion.

But Everleigh didn't have the time to wait for their response. She glanced at the watch in her hand and excused herself before leaving the conference room.

"Dr. Lewis, are you leaving to pick up your kids?" one of her colleagues asked as she hurriedly descended the stairs.

"Yeah." Everleigh smiled.

She was leaving to pick up her babies.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at a local kindergarten.

"Mommy, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a century."

As soon as Everleigh reached the gate, a little girl in a pink dress and with top-knot buns squealed and ran excitedly to her.

Everleigh immediately got out of the car.

"Sorry, it got late. I promise to be on time from now on."

"It's okay. Brother was with me. He just brought a lot of snacks for me."

The little girl, Millie Lewis, smiled sweetly at her mother as the latter hugged her.

Everleigh's heart fluttered with joy.

Millie's brother, the other child of hers, was a considerate boy who always took good care of his sister.

Everleigh smiled. "Really? Let's go and find your brother, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

A few minutes later, Everleigh found her son.

However, she was baffled when she saw that her son was surrounded by teachers. Everleigh couldn't comprehend why he was in the staff room.

"Oh my God! This boy looks exactly like our Sam."

"Yes, they resemble a lot!"

A teacher placed a photo beside Samuel Lewis's face, comparing his features and those of the other boy.

Samuel glanced at the photo with his mischievous eyes.

"I don't think so. Is his face as round as mine?"

"Not really."

"Is he as cute as me? Check the picture again. Do you really think he looks like me?"

Samuel grinned and leaned toward his teachers.

All the teachers burst out laughing, for they realized the boy in the photo looked nothing like the boy pouting at them.

The boy in the photo was no older than Samuel but looked pensive and indifferent like an adult. He was not at all as adorable as Samuel.

"What are you doing there, Sam?" Everleigh asked when she saw what was going on.

"Mommy! Mommy, you are here! I didn't do anything."

Samuel was quick to react. As soon as he heard his mother's voice, he smiled and jumped off the desk he had been sitting on.

He couldn't contain his grin.

Samuel bore an uncanny resemblance to Weldon but had a warm and kind disposition. He had never been cold and indifferent like that man but always greeted everyone with a smile.

"Are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me, Sam. Remember how you crashed the computer in the classroom so that classes were suspended the other day? Don't pretend like you're innocent."

"But..." Samuel pursed his lips and looked at Everleigh, looking pitiful.

He couldn't understand why his mother always suspected he was up to mischief when he was actually smart, intelligent and kind-hearted.

The teachers always pestered Samuel for help, which he had no choice but to offer in resignation.

"Mommy, I didn't do anything wrong. I promise. I was only playing a game with them. I'm hungry. Let's head home."

Everleigh was rendered speechless.

Ultimately, she let out a sigh and bid farewell to the teachers before taking her kids home.

As soon as they arrived home, Everleigh went to the kitchen to make dinner.

However, her phone rang before she finished cooking.

"Doctor Lewis, the hospital has agreed about your taking over the case. Could you please come over now?"

"Now?"

"Yes. The patient's family member has come, and they wish to talk to you right away after hearing the hospital's decision," the nurse said on the phone.

Everleigh rolled her eyes. She despised such affluent patients who thought everyone had to listen to them as if the world revolved around them.

Everleigh had no choice but to agree.

"Sam, I must go to the hospital. Can you have dinner with your sister at home?"

"Sure, Mommy. Don't worry. I will take good care of her."

Samuel waved his hand like a mature adult, gesturing for his mother not to worry about it.

Everleigh smiled. She didn't have to worry about anything when she had a supportive son.

She soon changed her clothes and left.

Meantime, as soon as Everleigh left, her son darted into her study.

"Sam, what are you doing? Mommy asked us to have dinner."

"Shh... I've got to access the principal's computer. Today, the teachers took out a photo of a boy who looked like me. He might be joining our kindergarten, so I must find out who he is."

Samuel hacked the principal's computer within a few minutes.

Soon, he found out the information about the new student.

"Wow! Sam, is that you?" Millie yelped in shock as soon as the document popped up on the screen. Her jaw dropped in shock.

Samuel frowned. "No, it isn't me. His name is Zayn Harris. Look."

He pointed at the name on the document, shaking his head in dejection.

Millie's eyes widened.

"Zayn Harris? But why does he look like you? Is he also Mommy's child?"

Samuel's eyes widened. All of a sudden, he remembered his mother frequently opening a small box and looking at a brand-new shirt of a toddler with tears in her eyes.

At that moment, he made up his mind to meet the boy who looked like him.

"The Hill Hotel," Samuel mumbled as he remembered the address he saw on the registration form.

Half an hour later, Everleigh arrived at the Klyre Hospital.

"Doctor Lewis, I'm glad you are here."

"Where is the patient's family?"

"They're waiting in the Dean's Office. Dr. Lewis, the patient's family member is quite temperamental. You better be careful while handling her," the nurse advised her.

Everleigh quickly wore her scrubs and surgical mask before going to the Dean's Office.

Then, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Mr. Watson, it's me."

"Nancy, come on in. The patient's family member is here. Come and meet her."

The Dean was sweating profusely as he tried talking to the patient's family sitting opposite him.

Unfortunately, the woman seemed uptight and demanding.

The Dean breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Everleigh's voice. He frantically opened the door, for he knew only she could help him out.

Everleigh's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the Dean personally opening the door for her. But soon, she shifted her attention to the other person inside.

Her pupils dilated when she took a closer look at the person, and a surprised look crossed her face.

"Is she the capable doctor you told me about? Can she do that?"

The woman stood up when she heard the door open.

She was tall and wore delicate makeup. Her perfectly curled chestnut hair and fashionable outfit exuded arrogance.

It was Raelynn.

Everleigh never expected Raelynn to be the first acquaintance she would meet after five years.

She wondered if Raelynn was her patient.

Everleigh's eyes turned cold as she stared at her nemesis.

Everleigh's marriage with Weldon was planned when she was a child. As soon as she was born, the Lewis and Harris families decided to get her married to Weldon, who was only a five-year-old boy then.

Initially, Everleigh assumed it was a joke and didn't give much thought to the marriage arrangement, although she had been fond of Weldon since she was young.

Unfortunately, the Lewis family perished on a fateful night. Trevor took Everleigh under his wings and asked her to marry his son, intending to offer a safe and peaceful life.

It was only then that Everleigh began to give serious consideration to the marriage.

However, little did she know the marriage would be the beginning of a disastrous life.

"Sorry, I was wrong," Everleigh suddenly said.

"What?" The Dean frowned.

"I can't cure her disease. You have to find another doctor!"

With that, Everleigh turned around and left.
