The Untouchable Ex-Wife

“No, it’s fine.” Jovan sounded gloomy and pathetic. An existence like this made him wonder if he was still alive, and he had no
courage to meet Renee again. He sighed and said lightly, “I decided to leave her to set her free, and I don’t regret it.”
Knowing Renee’s character, she would not say no if he wanted to use her guilt to make her take care of him for the rest of his
life. She would’ve readily abandoned her brother she had just been reunited with, her children, and her career half a year ago to
lead a secluded life with him in Varangia, if Jovan had asked.
During those six months, she took care of him as if he was a baby and never complained. Jovan felt it was enough; in his
opinion, it had been more than worth it giving up his eyes and body in exchange for having her by his side for that time. Those
memories were something he looked back on fondly, and he couldn’t ask for more.
However, Eloise couldn’t figure out why the smart, sensitive, and competitive Jovan had become so passive.
“You haven’t forgotten about Miss Everheart, Master Jovan. Why don’t you just give it a try? What if she still thinks about you?
What if she’ll be surprised to see you, and decides she wants to spend the rest of her life with you?” Eloise refused to give up
persuading him because she knew how miserable he was living like this.
‘I wouldn’t want that even if she does.” Jovan chuckled bitterly and said,’ Any man with dignity wouldn’t want to live like useless
trash in front of their beloved.” Even though he had been cunning and devious in the past to get what he wanted, as a man, he
couldn’t abandon his dignity.
“Ah, Master Jovan... Everyone says that you’re wicked and cunning but you’re actually a caring and loyal man. Yes, they say
Stefan is honest and righteous, the superior heir of Hunt Group, but I find him to be very hypocritical. He isn’t righteous at all!”
“Hmph, what would you know?” Jovan was amused.
“I know. Miss Everheart sacrificed a lot for him. She married him and had his children but he betrayed her and wanted to marry
Miss Seraphina instead. Only a man without a conscience can do that!”
“There are a lot of things you don’t know,” Jovan said wearily.
‘No, I do know things! Although I’m a maid, I’m no fool. You’d rather give up your eyes and body to be a disabled person to ease
Miss Everheart’s mind, but what about Stefan? He only values profit, so his love can’t be compared to yours at all!”
“So what?” Jovan’s deep-set eyes were blank and listless. “It’s not like you can overcome everything with love.”

“I’ll stop if you don’t want to win her over, but Miss Everheart has been seriously injured lately. She can’t take care of you
either...”
“What did you say?” Instantly, Jovan’s body tensed and he asked urgently,” When and how did she get hurt? Is it serious? Why
didn’t you tell me?”
‘I... I...” It had been a long time since Eloise had seen Jovan this agitated. Frightened, she swallowed and answered, “I thought
that it might affect your mood, so I decided to inform you only after I got more information about it...”
“What happened? Tell me!” Jovan demanded coldly as he clenched his fists. Renee was the only light in his dark world, and he
couldn’t bear it if anything happened to her.
‘I heard it was an activity organized by her kids’ kindergarten. She fell off a high platform and hurt her lower back... But I don’t
know the specifics because that’s all I heard on the news.
