Chapter 175Chelsea hadn't expected Edmund would suddenly apologize. But she calmly accepted. "It's okay, I
forgive you."
After saying that, she asked him, "Can you take me back to the banquet now?"
Chelsea's nonchalance made the walls of composure of Edmund crack faster than he could do
anything about it.
He had dealt with what had happened earlier tonight and even apologized to Chelsea, but she acted as
if it all meant nothing to her.
Seeing that Edmund hadn't moved or said anything, Chelsea took out her phone and said, "Just forget
it. I'll call a taxi to take me there."
Before Chelsea could finish her words, Edmund pulled her all of a sudden.
He had only intended to tell Chelsea that he would drive her, but in his rage, he subconsciously pulled
her hard. To make things even worse, Chelsea was wearing high heels, so when he pulled her, she
sprained her ankle.
The shock and the pain hit her all at once and she was about to fall. Edmund held her up immediately.
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
As Chelsea was wearing a dress exposing her waist, Edmund held her arm with one hand and went for
her waist with the other to support her. As soon as he touched her smooth skin, his whole body tensedup and he held his breath.
As she was in so much pain, Chelsea didn't care about it at that moment. She looked down at her
ankle and said, "I think I sprained my ankle."
Edmund was embarrassed.
What bad luck did he have to make her sprain her ankle? And that too after getting her to forgive him.
He had not only hurt her feelings, but he was now also hurting her body.
Edmund apologized before he could think of anything else, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I used too much
strength."
He lifted Chelsea into his arms and said anxiously, "I'll take you to the hospital before it gets any
worse."
Chelsea who was suddenly picked up by him felt a little embarrassed. "I can walk by myself. Put me
down please."
She was being held so intimately by her ex-husband while she was wearing a thin dress. All of a
sudden she became too aware of his hand on her waist. It was just too embarrassing.
However, Edmund didn't listen to her. He walked a few steps to the car with Chelsea safe in his arms.
How could he let her in an injured state walk on her own? After placing Chelsea gently in the car seat, Edmund squatted down and gently took off her shoes. He
then held her ankle to check the injury.
Feeling the warmth of his hand wrapped around her ankle, Chelsea's face couldn't help burning as she
tried to get her mind to focus.
With her cheeks flaming red, she tried to take her foot back. "Let's go to the hospital and get a doctor to
check it."
Edmund rubbed her ankle gently and said, "Why are you so shy?"
Chelsea's heart skipped a beat. She imagined he would say something shocking like, he had already
seen everything there was to see.
"Let's go to the hospital," Edmund said and Chelsea had to shake her head as the imaginary Edmund
faded to the back of her mind. Fortunately, he didn't say any of that. After loosening her ankle, he
glanced at her again to make sure she was okay before going to the driver's seat.
Not long after he drove away, Alena called Edmund.
He knew that the only reason she was calling was to blame and emotionally blackmail him, so he said
first, "Mom, Sonya is unteachable. Sending her abroad is the best course of action."
Alena was choked by tears at his words, but she still desperately pleaded for Sonya, "She must have
done that on an impulse. How about asking her to apologize to Chelsea?" Edmund answered coldly, "It's too late."
He had already divorced Chelsea. What was the point of Sonya apologizing to her?
Edmund continued while suppressing his anger so that he didn't crush the car. "Besides, you think that
Sonya did such a horrible thing on impulse. It is clear that you are the one who has been spoiling her.
She is not suitable to continue to live with you any longer."
Alena was so furious that she couldn't help shouting, "Edmund! I'm your mother! How dare you talk to
me like that? Do you want to force me to my death?"
Edmund already had a headache from all the screaming. Alena only cared about her own interests and
tried to protect Sonya. Yet not even once did she consider his feelings or what he was going through?
Was he just a tool for her to obtain power and wealth?
Thinking of that, he said impatiently, "She did something wrong, she has to be punished for it."
novelbinThen he hung up. He didn't want to talk to Alena anymore.
