Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

The doctor prescribed additional medication.

Afterward, with the drivers help, she eased into the car, ready to head back.

Before getting into the car, Dulcie had attempted to lift herself out of the wheelchair, but the pain was unbearable.

She simply couldnt stand.

During the ride home, she sat there uncomfortably, unable to lean back against the seat.

When Dulcie returned to the Shaw family residence, she was met by Lucinda, Nathan, and their two children.

Destinee, eyes red and teary, was curled up in Lucindas arms.

Nathan held Colby, both looking calm and collected.

The moment she saw Dulcie, Sally rushed over, taking the wheelchair from the driver with a worried look.

Dulcie, how did you end up hurt this badly? Before Dulcie could answer, Destinee broke into tears.

Its my fault! If Dulcie hadnt tried to save me, she wouldnt have been hurt..

Destinee felt guilty. Dulcie quickly soothed her.

Dont worry, sweetheart.

Im okay.

I just need a little rest.

Im just glad you and Colby are safe.

Id never forgive myself if something happened to either of you.

Once Im back on my feet, well go out again, alright? Destinee slid down from Lucindas arms.

She looked at Dulcies bandaged ankle, her lips pursed in worry.

Does it hurt? Can I blow on it to make it better? Destinee touched her ankle gently and blew on it, trying to ease the pain.

Despite everything, warmth filled Dulcies heart.

Hugging Destinee, she comforted her.

Im really okay.

Lucinda, standing nearby, said sincerely, Thank you so much, Dulcie.

Oh, come on, Lucinda.

I just wanted to take them out for some fun.

If you keep thanking me, Ill be too nervous to take them out alone next time, Dulcie replied, brushing it off.

It wasnt a big deal, and she didnt want them making too much of it.

Sally jumped in, saying, Lucinda, dont worry.

Ill take good care of Dulcie.

I know youre swamped with work, so the kids can always come over here anytime.

Im around all day.

Lucinda had been busy juggling several projects for the Simmons Group, something shed recently filled Sally in on.

As Dulcies best friend, Sally wanted to help lighten Lucindas load. Dulcie knew how overwhelmed Lucinda was; theyd even discussed her plans earlier in Medican.

Lucinda was intent on expanding the Simmons Group, exploring new fields she hadnt ventured into before.

In business, it was all about taking chances and making things happen.

Dulcie said, Lucinda, really, Im fine.

I can help you take care of the kids, too.

Dont worry.

Now that she was sidelined with her injury, Dulcie could take a break from work and focus on watching over the kids.

As they chatted, the front door swung open.

The golden light of the setting sun spilled across the floor, casting long shadows.noveldrama

The air grew chilly as a figure stepped in, blocking the Light.

Without even looking up, Dulcie knew exactly who had entered.
