Chapter 1390
Jeremyâs attitude made Zack feel bad about blaming him, âI reckon Nelly doesnât intend to pursue the past anymore, and sheâs just made up with you like that.â
Jeremy, âYeah,â
Zack, âI want to ask you, do you honestly want to settle down with her?â
Jeremy, âDefinitely.â
Zack, âWell if thatâs the case, get your remarriage sorted out pronto. Better do it as soon as she gets out of the hospital, the sooner the better. I donât want her and the kid tagging along with you in this situation.â
Jeremy, âNo need for that.â
Hearing this, Zack got all antsy, âWhat the hell do you mean by that? Do you have some other scheme? Jeremy, Iâm telling you, if you hurt Nelly again, Iâll be the first one to kick your ass.â
Zack chewed him out for a good while, and it wasnât until he was done that Jeremy said nonchalantly. âWe never divorced in the first place, so thereâs no need for a remarriage.â Zack. âWhat do you mean by that?â
Jeremy said. âThe people who processed our divorce were all actors I hired, and the divorce certificate she holds is a fake. She and I are still legally married.â
Zack âReally?â
Jeremy. âReally.â
He initially planned to push her away by faking a divorce. But every time he thought about divorcing her and she would have no bearing on him, his heart would ache. So he came up with the idea of deceiving her with a fake divorce. As long as she believed they were divorced, he didnât have to really divorce her. Luckily, she was so naive, she never suspected the divorce certificate was fake.
Of course, he had a backup plan. If his illness couldnât be cured, he would arrange for a real divorce before he passed away, so he wouldnât hold her back from finding new happiness.
Zack, âDoes Nelly know?â
Jeremy, âIâll tell her myself.â
Zack, âYou better treat her right, and take good care of your kid.â
Jeremy nodded, âMr. Ruck, thanks for always being so good to her.â
Zack, âSheâs a friend I grew up with, and I should treat her well, no need for thanks.â
Jeremy chuckled, didnât say anything more, but his face looked a bit pale.
Dr. Lester hurried over, âJeremy, donât push yourself.â
Jeremy remained stubborn, saying, âIâm fine.â
Dr. Lester ignored him, rolled up his sleeve, and gave him a couple of injections right in front of Zack.
Zack, âWhatâs wrong with him?â
Dr. Lester, âHe stayed up all night worrying about Cornelia giving birth, his body couldnât handle it, and he ended up like this.â
Zack, âThen you let him rest. I wonât disturb him.â
Dr. Lester, âDonât tell Cornelia about this.â
Hearing this, Zack got really pissed, âNelly isnât some overprotected kid. Sheâs been through a lot, and she doesnât need you guys keeping her in the dark.â
