You're Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord-Chapter 212-Clark, you’re insane.

Seeing Dave’s true feelings for Laurent with absolute clarity, Clark once again began plotting ways to deal with Laurent.

She had only one thought in her mind—if she couldn’t have him, then Laurent couldn’t have him either.

As long as she was alive, she would never allow herself to watch Dave and Laurent live happily together.

She would rather die than see that happen.

It was Clark who had leaked the news about Laurent and Leonardo to the press back then.

Even though she had followed her parents to the countryside, she had never stopped keeping an eye on Laurent and Dave.

She had investigated everything about Laurent and knew that Leonardo had pursued her since their university days.

Now, Leonardo was a top-tier movie star—his status made any connection with Laurent incredibly sensitive.

If the two of them got tangled up in rumors, Laurent would undoubtedly be the one who suffered the most backlash.

But Clark never expected things to spiral so far beyond her control.

At first, Laurent was indeed harshly criticized by the public.

However, on the day she faced the media, her calm and dignified response completely turned the situation around.

Leonardo’s fans even started demanding that he get together with Laurent.

Clark was livid.

She had originally planned to use Leonardo’s fans to completely destroy Laurent.

She never imagined that instead of ruining her, she had actually pushed Laurent and Leonardo closer together.

Why?

Why did Laurent get to capture both Dave’s heart and Leonardo’s?

Had they both lost their minds?

But none of this was even the most devastating part for Clark.

What truly shattered her was the news she had just received—

Laurent had been recruited by a company under Burg Eltz.

She was set to start working there after the new year.

This news sent Clark into utter despair.

She had schemed so hard to force Dave and Laurent to divorce and drive Laurent out of Burg Eltz.

And now, Laurent was returning—this time entirely on her own merits.

How could Clark possibly accept that?

Laurent’s current radiance and career success were a harsh slap in the face to Clark—who had nothing.

No man.

No love.

No job.

No career.

She had lost everything, even the most fundamental ability of a woman—to bear children.

She locked herself in her room for an entire day and night.

Then, while her parents were distracted, she secretly returned to Burg Eltz.

There, she met with the people she had arranged to monitor Laurent and Dave’s movements.

After gathering every detail of their whereabouts, she set her plan into motion—leading to everything that had just transpired.

Clark admitted that when she made this decision, she had been utterly consumed by obsession and madness.

There was nothing left in her mind—no parents, no future.

She had only one thought:

To destroy Laurent.

To make it impossible for her to be with Dave.

Even if it meant death.

And yet, as Clark screamed in hysteria, accusing Dave of being willing to die for Laurent—

Laurent simply looked at her, calm and indifferent.

Then, in a voice devoid of emotion, she said:

"Clark, you’re insane."

Then she turned around and supported Dave, ignoring Clark entirely.

The dagger had stabbed into Dave’s body, but the pain in Laurent’s heart was no less intense. Her teeth trembled as she held back the agony, especially knowing that he had taken this knife wound to protect her.

She swore that this time, she would make sure Clark, that lunatic, received the punishment he deserved. If Clark’s previous actions had been nothing more than secret schemes and tricks, then this time, his actions were outright criminal.

Attempted murder—Clark wouldn’t get away with this. If the circumstances were considered minor, he’d face a few years in prison. If they were severe, he could be sentenced to death.

When the ambulance arrived, Laurent accompanied Dave to the hospital, while Clark was taken away by the police who had arrived shortly after.

Inside the ambulance, Dave had already lost too much blood and was growing dangerously weak. The paramedics performed emergency procedures on him. Laurent sat to the side, her eyes turning red the moment she saw the doctor cut open Dave’s clothes and pull out the knife.

If a man is willing to risk his life for you, where else can you run? Where else can you hide?

She reached out and placed her hand in his nearly frozen palm, hoping that this touch could offer him some warmth and strength to endure the pain.

At the hospital, Dave was rushed into the emergency room for examination and treatment. Laurent sat in the corridor outside, feeling utterly drained. She buried her face in her hands, her mind a complete blank.

She didn’t dare think—she couldn’t afford to think—about everything that had just happened.

Back in the ambulance, the doctor had mentioned that the wound was too deep and might have damaged his chest cavity and lungs. If that were the case, things could become serious. The weight of those words crushed Laurent, leaving her so weak she could barely stand.

She didn’t know exactly what the doctor meant by "serious," and she didn’t want to know.

At that moment, all she wanted was to break down and cry, to release the overwhelming sorrow in her heart. But the situation wouldn’t allow it.

The first to arrive at the hospital was Lilian, and with her came Morrison.

Laurent had no time to wonder why Lilian had arrived with Morrison. All she knew was that she desperately needed a hug. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and embraced Lilian, silently choking back her sobs.

Dave was her biological brother. Lilian’s worry and anxiety were just as intense as Laurent’s, so she understood exactly what Laurent was feeling at this moment. Without saying much, she simply held her tightly, the two of them finding comfort in each other’s embrace.

When the emergency surgery was over, the doctor stepped out of the operating room. Laurent didn’t even have the courage to ask about Dave’s condition. Fortunately, Morrison was there. Given his status, the doctor treated him with particular respect and explained Dave’s condition to him in detail.

Through Morrison’s account, Laurent and Lilian learned that Dave was incredibly lucky. Although the knife wound was deep, it hadn’t pierced his chest cavity. Perhaps this was because Clark, being a woman, didn’t have enough strength to drive the blade in too forcefully. As a result, none of his internal organs had been damaged. All Dave needed now was time to heal.

Hearing this, Laurent collapsed onto the nearby bench, feeling completely drained, as if all the tension had left her body at once.

Lilian, too, alternated between laughing and crying as she patted her chest.

"Oh my god... I was scared to death..." she sobbed.

Morrison glanced at her. In truth, before hearing about Dave’s injury, the two of them had not been on good terms—they had been in the middle of discussing their breakup.

For the first time in his life, Morrison had been the one to get dumped. When he asked her why, she had simply looked at him with an innocent, almost harmless expression and said,

"I think I’ve gained enough experience in love. I don’t need to learn anymore."
