You're Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord-Chapter 215- jealous

Dave woke up from a nap, and it was already dark outside.

The moment he opened his eyes, Laurent’s face was right in front of him.

For a brief moment, he froze, then closed his eyes again. He feared it was just a dream, and that when he woke up, she wouldn’t be by his side. After all, he had just upset her and made her leave earlier.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, and only when the figure in front of him became clearer did he finally relax. She was really here with him.

Laurent was looking down at her phone. Sometimes, she was grateful for how smart phones were these days. She could handle work tasks anytime and anywhere. Although she had taken time off from Matthew, she still hoped not to delay work too much. And since Dave was sleeping and resting, she had nothing else to do, so she responded to some emails from clients to pass the time.

When Dave woke up, Laurent didn’t notice. She was still busy, her attention focused on her phone. However, she would occasionally glance up at the IV drip above Dave’s bed.

Dave didn’t disturb her. He just watched her work seriously, feeling grateful. Grateful that it was him lying here, because if it were her, he would definitely rush to the police station and strangle Clark himself.

After Laurent finished replying to the client’s emails, she looked up again and met Dave’s dark, intense gaze. She quickly put her phone down.

"You’re awake."

"Do you want some water?"

Before Dave could answer, her phone rang again. Laurent picked it up, and when she saw that it was a call from Leonardo, she glanced at Dave’s bed, and of course, Dave saw the caller ID.

Dave was immediately enraged, glaring at Laurent with a dark face. With his current condition, if she dared to take a call from Leonardo in front of him, it was as if she was intentionally trying to drive him crazy. He swore that if she answered the call, he would never forgive her!

Laurent naturally noticed his foul mood. She felt quite conflicted because just moments ago, Leonardo had mentioned that Zoey couldn’t be reached. Laurent figured that Leonardo was probably calling about Zoey’s situation. She knew Dave didn’t like Leonardo, and she didn’t want to upset him at this moment, but she was also deeply worried about Zoey’s safety. So, she hesitated, wondering whether or not to take the call.

However, before she could make a decision, someone made it for her. Dave, who had been lying on the bed, muttered irritably, "I need to use the bathroom!"

That settled it for Laurent.

Fine, this was a serious matter.

She hung up the phone, walked over, and bent down to help him. Dave’s expression finally softened a little.

Dave had already been stripped of his clothes during the emergency surgery, and now he was wearing a loose hospital gown, made from thin material. As Laurent supported his waist, it felt almost as if she was holding him directly. She could feel the firmness of his muscles in his waist and abdomen.

Her face flushed slightly, but thinking about the fact that he was a patient, she dismissed those thoughts and focused on helping him. She escorted him to the bathroom in the ward, then closed the door, intending to wait outside for him.

But he called out to her, "Stop!"

Laurent turned to look at him. He was protesting unhappily.

"Aren’t you going to ask if I can manage on my own?"

Laurent, "..."

Did he really expect her to help? He only injured one shoulder; it wasn’t like he couldn’t pull down his pants. The hospital gown pants were loose and could be taken off easily...

However, just as she thought that, he stood there giving orders.

"Come help me take off my pants!"

Laurent, again, "..."

Laurent’s face turned slightly awkward, and she froze in place, unwilling to move. She regretted insisting on staying to take care of him.

With their current relationship, wasn’t it a little inappropriate for her to be taking off his pants?

In fact, Dave hadn’t actually wanted her to do this. He knew she was too shy to go through with it. He just wanted to punish her for attempting to take the call from Leonardo in front of him.

Let’s see if he could make her mad again!

He was going to mess with her, too.

Seeing her becoming embarrassed, his goal was accomplished. Finally, he relented with a cold snort, glancing at her as he said, "Close the door!"

"Oh."

As soon as Laurent heard him give in, she immediately closed the door and stepped outside, leaning against it and taking several deep breaths.

After Dave came out of the bathroom, Laurent helped him back into bed, adjusting the bed to an inclined position so he could lie on his side for a while. Once she had finished all of this, Leonardo’s call came through again, and Laurent felt a headache coming on.

Dave’s expression grew dark again, and Laurent tried to explain that the call was about Zoey. However, he already had a sour look on his face, pulling the blanket over his head to block himself from her. He ignored her completely.

Laurent didn’t have time to worry about him anymore. She answered the call and walked out of the room.

Dave was nearly furious. He threw off the blanket from his head, glaring angrily toward the outside of the room.

So, she really cared that much about that call from Leonardo? Was it absolutely necessary for her to answer it?

Outside the room, Laurent was speaking with Leonardo on the phone.

On the other end of the line, Leonardo told Laurent that he had called Zoey’s company and was informed that Zoey had taken a sick day. Upon hearing this, Leonardo immediately asked for Zoey’s address from the company and drove over to visit her. After all, he had been friends with Zoey back in university for a few years, although his real purpose of hanging out with her and the others had always been to be around Laurent.

When he arrived, he found Zoey at home, burning with fever and too weak to move. Leonardo immediately took her to the hospital.

Now, Leonardo was at the hospital with Zoey, calling to inform Laurent so that she and the others wouldn’t worry.

Zoey was suffering from a severe viral cold that had caused a persistent fever. Additionally, she was also dealing with her period, which had led to a significant depletion of her strength.

After hearing this, Laurent took a few sharp breaths, feeling both relieved and heartbroken for Zoey.

If it hadn’t been for Leonardo today, Zoey didn’t know what might have happened. A girl working alone in such a competitive, high-pressure city like this... It was likely that such incidents had happened before. Zoey and Marylin, they really needed to find a man to rely on.

Laurent asked Leonardo to look after Zoey more in Shanghai, since they were all classmates. Though she and the others were Zoey’s good friends, being far away, they could hardly offer any immediate help. Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t really do much.

After finishing the call with Leonardo, Laurent updated Marylin and Vivian about Zoey’s situation in their group chat. They were all relieved and glad that Leonardo had been there, expressing how worried they were. Considering Zoey was still very weak, none of them called her, as Leonardo was there and they had no reason to worry.

When Laurent returned to the hospital room, Dave’s face was dark with displeasure.

Laurent felt exhausted and, considering that he was a patient, decided to explain.

"Leonardo’s in Shanghai filming right now. He was trying to reach Zoey for something, but when he couldn’t get in touch with her, he contacted me. It turns out Zoey had fallen ill at home, so he called to update me on her condition."

Dave didn’t respond immediately, and Laurent thought his silence meant that he understood.

However, after a while, Dave spoke up again.

"Apart from you, don’t Vivian and Marylin know Zoey well too? Why didn’t he contact them and only you?"

Laurent was almost speechless. Was he seriously this jealous?

"Think whatever you want," she replied.

She was too tired to deal with him anymore. Among their group, Leonardo did indeed have the closest relationship with her and contacted her the most. The natural reaction for most people would be to reach out to the person they were most familiar with, especially since Leonardo had originally asked her about what had happened between her and Dave earlier that day.
