Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Luka knocked on the door of Chris's office and walked in. With a straight face, he asked Edmund, "What's up?"

Chris and Yusuf immediately excused themselves in case the two rivals decided to throw punches again.

Edmund looked up at Luka and said, "I have spoken to Roy about adapting his new book into a play. He agreed to my terms on the condition that the scriptwriter must be good and also pass his test."

Luka read Edmund's mind immediately. He asked, "So, you want to give the job to Chelsea?"

Edmund nodded and replied, "Yes, I do. But she doesn't even want to see me. So, I was thinking you could help me persuade her about it. Chelsea is perfect for the job. Once she passes Roy's test, I'll buy the copyright immediately. And then we can get down to work. Your company can oversee the production if it's okay with you."

Edmund complimented Chelsea's talent while he made his intentions known.

Luka also believed in her talent.

So he agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

They were both rivals who wanted the same woman. But they united for her sake now.

Since they had reached an agreement, Luka decided to take his leave. "Talk to you later. Goodbye!"

Edmund set his lips into a grim line before he blurted out, "I have found a good psychologist for Chelsea. Please try and persuade her to see the psychologist."

Luka stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He stared at Edmund with squinted eyes for a while. Afterward, he smiled and said, "Sorry to burst your bubble, Mr. Nelson. But it's not your job to do such things for Chelsea. I'm her boyfriend, so I will handle her needs."

This statement hurt Edmund. However, he said gently, "You don't have to say I arranged for the psychologist. Just tell her you did."

Even Edmund himself was surprised by his humble attitude.

Why was he behaving like a tolerant person all of a sudden?

This didn't go down well with Luka at all. "No, I'll pass on that. I will find an excellent psychologist to attend to her. Remember that Chelsea is no longer your wife. Please keep your distance. She's my priority now!"

After marking his territory with those serious words, he left the office.

"Humph! Did you just rub it in my face that Chelsea divorced me? Let's wait and see. You will soon become her ex-boyfriend," Edmund cursed under his breath, staring at the closed door.

He had nothing else to do here, so he left the hospital with Yusuf.

Edmund had planned to make Roy stay back for another day so Chelsea could meet him. But Leo said

he had left because of his wife's ill health once the event had ended.

Chelsea's fever didn't go down until the next morning. Luka took care of her throughout the night.

When Chelsea woke up and saw his tired eyes, she felt sorry for him. "I am sorry for keeping you awake throughout the night. Now that I'm much better, you should go home to have some rest."

Luka had been taking care of his sick mother for many days. And now, he looked after Chelsea. She felt that he needed some rest.

Luka chuckled and said, "I am fine. But if you insist, I'll leave once Zuri arrives."

Zuri went out of town to shoot a commercial. When she heard that Chelsea was sick, she abandoned everything and boarded the next flight home.

Chelsea knew Luka wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't bother to persuade him.

After she washed her face and brushed her teeth, Luka asked, "What do you want to have for breakfast? I'll go buy it."

Before Chelsea could respond, someone knocked on the door. Chris came in immediately.

"Good morning, Chelsea. I brought you breakfast!" Chris held up a takeout box. The logo on the box looked familiar in Chelsea's eyes. She remembered that Edmund had brought her food from this particular restaurant when she had a sprained ankle.

Her instincts told her that this one was from Edmund. However, she didn't want Luka to go out so he wouldn't be hounded by the paparazzi or his fans. After thanking Chris, she said to Luka, "Let's eat the food he brought instead."

Luka gave Chris a knowing look before he agreed.

They were in the middle of breakfast when someone knocked on the door and came in.

Chris turned around only to see a female doctor come in with a cold face. His heart skipped a beat.

After coming to his senses, he muttered, "I thought I set the appointment for two o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Well, Mr. Pierce set an appointment with me for this morning. That's why I am here," the female doctor replied with a smile.

Luka explained timely, "She is a psychologist I hired for Chelsea."

Chris parted his lips, but words failed him. He could only leave the ward with a red face.

He stole a glance at the doctor before leaving.

The female doctor didn't say anything either. She just smiled at him politely.

Once the door was shut, she introduced herself. "Hello, Mr. Pierce, Miss Williams. I'm Zora Sugden."

"According to the doctor, you need to see a psychologist because of your mental health. Zora is the best in Vertoak. She will help you," Luka explained to Chelsea, who looked a little puzzled.

An understanding expression replaced Chelsea's puzzled look immediately. She had to agree that she indeed needed psychological guidance.

She had a terrible nightmare last night. The bed was soaking wet when she woke up.

Images of how Sonya ripped off the buttons of her shirt kept flashing in her mind.

She also remembered how the hooligans looked at her lustfully and attempted to touch her.

The stress of what happened to her yesterday was messing up Chelsea's mind. Even though she was rescued just in time, she couldn't help being afraid.
