I'm Richer Than My Billionaire ex-husband

Chapter 873 Her Heart on Barney?

The ward fell into an awful silence.

The two looked at each other, Nellie did not have any dodge, "I will find a way to deal with the relationship with Andre."

And you, too, are to come off the operating table unharmed.

Barney turned his head, "Nellie, I may..."

"I don't want maybes, I want you to come off the operating table safely and I'll be waiting for you."

Before Barney could finish his words, he was interrupted sharply by Nellie.

Barney looked at her anxiously and sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

The people outside the ward listened nervously to the commotion in the ward, fearing that Nellie would make Barney half dead with anger.

But fortunately, nothing was ever heard, and that reassured everyone.

Nellie was with Barney in the ward, no one knew what was on her mind that the moment she came in the ward and saw the man lying weakly on the hospital bed.

At that moment, it was as if she instantly recognised what she was really like inside.

It was instantly clear what that resistance to Andre was all this time.

It turns out that what matters some of the time may really be just a few months.

The phone was always vibrating.

When Nellie's phone couldn't be reached, Barney's phone rang, it was from Andre who was now unaware that Barney was in hospital.

Nellie hung up for Barney, while then she called him with her phone.

Andre picked up, "You are really with him?"

The sound of Andre's stormy voice came from the other side of the phone.

Nellie, "You prepare the documents, let's get a divorce."

The air was quiet.

Barney looked at Nellie who was speaking crisply, while Andre, who was on the other side of the phone, was breathing tightly at the moment. Nellie hung up the phone directly, and then took Barney's phone and blacked out Andre's number directly, not allowing him to bother Barney. "What are you looking at me for?" Feeling Barney's burning gaze, Nellie didn't raise her head.

Barney, "He forcefully married you because you are important to him."

If in the past, Barney would not have said such words, but now...

Nellie, "He married me because he found out the truth about what happened back then."

The last words were bitten particularly hard by Nellie.

This explains one thing, all the torment she has had around Andre all these years has been caused by Andre's mistrust. Barney frowned.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ten years and he hasn't trusted you once?"

"Yes, I don't know how many times I've explained."

But it was explained so many times that he never believed it.

For this salvation of Andre, she really tried her best.

Who would have thought that while she was letting go, Andre would have found out the truth by other means, but that no longer meant anything to Nellie. Barney was silent.

Apparently, in his opinion a man like Andre could not be with Nellie. A misunderstanding had haunted him for ten years.

The rest of his life is so long, who has so many decades?

"If I make it off the operating table alive this time, I'll marry you."

"You must come down alive."

Nellie said.

Barney took her hand and at the touch of the coldness of his palm, Nellie suddenly burst into tears.

She said, "You were a light when I was desperate and I struggled to climb out of that darkness, and I didn't want you to disappear." What she said was true.

The James family had made her so anxious during that time that even Andre had beaten her into hell.

But when there was problem, she still subconsciously went to Andre.

Yet how did that seem to be Andre's response? He refused, completely turning her into torment and pain.

Barney reached out to her but Andre blocked her in every way. She saw Andre through, how could she turn back to him?

"Okay, then you wait for me."

Barney's grip on her hand tightened.

Nellie thus smiled.

The Brooks family, who originally disliked Nellie, were relieved when Barney personally wanted to see the doctor.

It feels like Barney has hope for life.

He used to be careless, and they were worried.

From Barney's conversation with the doctor, Nellie learnt that in his early years, Barney had suffered an injury to his heart.

There is still a zd in his heart to this day. He has been living on the edge of hell all these years and he had bumped into a car accident. The operation had to be done.

The operation was carried out by the internationally renowned doctor Rupert, who has been doing research on this operation for him over the years.

The originally scheduled surgery at ten o'clock had been rescheduled for the next day, and Barney had to go through all the surgical options first.

This is the first time, he's been so attached to his body.

Miriam's attitude towards Nellie has changed.

In the corridor outside the ward, Miriam took Nellie's hand and said, "I don't care what difficulties you have now, please make sure you wait for Barney's operation before you leave."

Nellie nodded.

Miriam's heart was only slightly relieved.

Now because of Barney's attitude towards Nellie, no one dares to question anything about her.

At dinner, Barney ate very little because of the surgery tomorrow morning and therefore there are now demands on his eating schedule.

Seeing that Nellie was not eating either, Barney frowned, "Have some."

"No, I'll stay with you."

Nellie said in a gentle tone, Barney reached out and touched her face as Nellie grabbed his large palm.

At that moment, there was some peace of mind.

"Get some sleep."

She hadn't slept since she arrived in the early hours of the morning, and the Brooks family were staying in the ward next door.

Nellie, "I'm not sleepy, you sleep."

She was afraid to close her eyes now. Barney was a bit uncomfortable, and Nellie found out only after asking him that he had been keeping the nurses away. She got up, went to the bathroom and brought out a basin of warn water.

Barney frowned, "What are you doing?"

"You're not a clean freak? How did you put up with it?"

In Nellie's heart, Barney has always been clean and dry, and has not allowed male caregivers to come near during this time.

And the Brooks family, presumably, didn't think of that, did they?

"No need."

Barney said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

Nellie, "Tomorrow you will have surgery, and after the surgery, probably until the wound has recovered to a certain extent, your body should not be exposed to water."

So it's best to clean up his body now.

Barney, "I'll do it myself."

"Are you sure?"

Since the car accident, he has been unable to move and it is impossible for him to finish on his own.

Barney's face looked different.

Nellie said, "So you will just bear with it?"

These days Barney was really having a hard time, but never said anything to anyone, and no one from the Brooks family offered to help, leaving everything to the caregivers. When Nellie saw how he did not say anything, she knew that it was already difficult for him.

Eventually, Barney nodded, "Thank you."

Nellie put on a smile, "It's me who should thank you."

Earlier, Catherine and Hazel were so fierce that if not for Barney's help, those two would probably have left Shirling.

So, it would be difficult for her to recover those things of her mother's.

She was not a fool, and naturally knew exactly why Barney was standing behind her with such dedication.
