Chapter 1390
Jeremy’s attitude made Zack feel bad about blaming him, “I reckon Nelly doesn’t intend to pursue the past anymore, and she’s just made up with you like that.”
Jeremy, “Yeah,”
Zack, “I want to ask you, do you honestly want to settle down with her?”
Jeremy, “Definitely.”
Zack, “Well if that’s 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 don’t want her and the kid tagging along with you in this situation.”
Jeremy, “No need for that.”
Hearing this, Zack got all antsy, “What the hell do you mean by that? Do you have some other scheme? Jeremy, I’m telling you, if you hurt Nelly again, I’ll be the first one to kick your ass.”
Zack chewed him out for a good while, and it wasn’t until he was done that Jeremy said nonchalantly. “We never divorced in the first place, so there’s no need for a remarriage.” Zack. “What do you mean by that?”
Jeremy said. “The 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.”
Zack “Really?”
Jeremy. “Really.”
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 didn’t 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 couldn’t be cured, he would arrange for a real divorce before he passed away, so he wouldn’t hold her back from finding new happiness.
Zack, “Does Nelly know?”
Jeremy, “I’ll tell her myself.”
Zack, “You better treat her right, and take good care of your kid.”
Jeremy nodded, “Mr. Ruck, thanks for always being so good to her.”
Zack, “She’s a friend I grew up with, and I should treat her well, no need for thanks.”
Jeremy chuckled, didn’t say anything more, but his face looked a bit pale.
Dr. Lester hurried over, “Jeremy, don’t push yourself.”
Jeremy remained stubborn, saying, “I’m fine.”
Dr. Lester ignored him, rolled up his sleeve, and gave him a couple of injections right in front of Zack.
Zack, “What’s wrong with him?”
Dr. Lester, “He stayed up all night worrying about Cornelia giving birth, his body couldn’t handle it, and he ended up like this.”
Zack, “Then you let him rest. I won’t disturb him.”
Dr. Lester, “Don’t tell Cornelia about this.”
Hearing this, Zack got really pissed, “Nelly isn’t some overprotected kid. She’s been through a lot, and she doesn’t need you guys keeping her in the dark.”
