Post-Divorce Chaos My Ex-Husband’s Breakdown

Chapter 24

Nadia was about to change into slippers and paused in her tracks, but she collected herself quickly. She put on the cotton slippers and looked up at him. “I have an experiment class today. I had to go to the construction site. It’s not easy to walk in high heels, so I wore flats”

Matthew looked at the trench coast Nadia was wearing and asked, “You wore a trench coat to the construction site?

“…” Nadia paused for a moment. “We had to change into the uniform at the school. We had to wear a uniform to go to the construction site

Matthew glanced at her suspiciously but didn’t say anything.

Nadia secretly suppressed the nervousness in her heart, changed into slippers slowly, and hung the bag containing the medicine and examination report near the porch. When she took her hands back, she was a little worried and glanced nervously at Matthew

Matthew had already turned his attention to the bedroom

Nadia lived in a large single–bedroom apartment. The kitchen and bathrooms were side by side near the entrance. There was a small sofa and coffee table in the living room, and there was a big king–size bed and a sealed balcony further into the apartment. The interior decoration was simple and bright, with a fresh and slightly rural style. One could see all the furnishing of the apartment at a glance.

Nadia had the same habit when living alone as when she was still married to Matthew, She had a free and casual soul. Her room was clean and tidy, but there were also some small objects placed here and there randomly, such as on the coffee table. The table was spotless, but the woven storage baskets on the elegant white table were stuffed with miscellaneous objects. In the pile of things, Matthew saw a piece of paper that seemed to be a check–up report. He frowned slightly and walked toward the coffee table.

Nadia couldn’t help following Matthew’s gaze. When she saw the check–up report in the storage basket, her heart skipped a beat. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Matthew’s clothes instinctively.

Matthew turned around to look at her with doubt in his brown eyes.

Nadia tried her best to

st to remain calm and smiled at him. “By the way, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

She put away the bag that she had almost taken out quietly and did not notice that the screen of her phone, which was still in the bag, flashed.

Kathleen looked at her phone, which kept telling her that Nadia did not answer her calls. She couldn’t help but panic and wondered how Nadia was doing

Earlier, when Kathleen was video calling Nadia, she saw her throw up twice in a row before hanging up the phone in a hurry, Kathleen had been worried sick since then. She was worried that something might have happened to Nadia.

However, at that time, she was still with a bent and did not have time to call her, Later, when Kathleen made an excuse to go to the bathroom, she took time to call Nadu. At that une, Nadia was taking a taxi to the hospital. On the phone, Kathleen could hear clearly that Nadia souled a hule weak Nadia was obviously flustered. Nadia comforted her on the phone that she was fine, that she was having a slight stomachache and wanted to go to the hospital to have a check–up When the results came out Nadia sent Kathleen the results as soon as possible to reassure her. But at that time, Kathleen was busy with work. When she saw the report, she was relieved but did not have the time to reply immediately. Now that she was finally free, Kathleen remembered that Nadia only said that there was no problem with the report, but nothing about the baby. She didn’t tell Kathleen how the baby was or how she was now. Kathleen was anxious and texted her to ask about her condition, but Nadia never replied.

When she called Nadia now, Nada didn’t answer her phone. Kathleen was already scared out of her wits by the various possibilities in her mind. She didn’t know what had happened to Nadia. After dialing another call and getting no response from Nadia, Kathleen called Darrell instead.

Darrell picked up after a frie rings.

“Hello?”

When Darrell’s clear voice came from the other end of the line, Kathleen sounded so anxious that she was about to cry. “Darrell, are you at home now? Can you check on Nadia for me?”

Darrell was eating when Nadia called him. He froze. What happened?

“I don’t know. Nadis kept throwing up at noon. Lager, she said that she was bleeding a little, so she went to the hospital. At that time, I was busy and didn’t have time to check up pn her condition in time, I don’t know how she is now. She didn’t reply to my Line messages, didn’t answer my video calls, and didn’t answer her phone” Kathleen was so anxious that she was about to cry. I’m worried about her. Can you go to her apartment to check no her for me!

“Sure.” Darrell put down his fork

and stood up, “Don’t worry. I go take a look first. I’ll call you back later.”

After saying that, Darrell hung up t the phone. He grabbed his coat and key from the hanger and left immediately.

At Nadia’s apartment, Matthew saw the light in the bag behind Nadia and raised his c

chin slightly to gesture at her bag. “Your phone is ringing.

Nadia turned to look at her bag. It was just a small square bag that could not hold many things.

When she went to the hospital earlier, she stuffed her phone into her bag and did not take it out later. Later, she stuffed the check–up report and pregnancy pills into the bag on top of her phone. Nadia did not dare to open it in front of Matthew.

She wasn’t ready to tell Matthew that she was pregnant yet, and she didn’t know if it was necessary to tell him that. After all, she only bumped into him by accident today.

Seeing the hesitation on Nadia’s face, Matthew turned to look at the bag behind her, glanced at it, and then looked at her face. “Are you hiding something from me?”

Nadia shook her head subconsciously. “No. It must be the real estate agent. It doesn’t matter whether I answer it or not

After that, in order to convince Matthew, Nadia turned around,

put

hand into her bag, and fumbled for her phone.

Matthew looked at her careful actions and asked, “Is there anything in the bag that I can’t see?”

Nadia shook her head quickly. “No.”

She felt her phone, but the medicine and report were right on top of her hand. She tried to pull her phone out with as little movement as possible. Manhew stepped forward and reached out to open her bag, Nadia was so shocked that she grabbed his hand before he could do so,

Matthew felt a slightly cold touch on his skin. He looked at her and asked, “Why is your hand so cold?”

“It’s… It’s getting colder lately, Nadia paused unconsciously and let go of Matthew’s hand hesitantly.

Matthew didn’t insist on opening her bag. He just looked at Nadia and asked. “Haven’t you grown much stronger in the past

st two years?”

“Maybe I’m just not used to the weather here yet, Nadia said. Her hand, which was holding the phone in her bag, tightened slightly. She was hesitating whether to pull it out or not. Her heart was beating fast because of such hesitation.

Matthew frowned slightly and looked at her. “You’ve lost a lot of weight. I remember that you used to be able to quickly adapt to a

a new

environment.

Nadia glanced at him hesitantly. As long as Matthew tried hard enough, she could never hide anything from him.
