Chapter 685 Aggrieved Ursula
Ursula persisted, her voice filled with anger, “And why would Weena risk her life to save Damien if she didn’t have any feelings for him?”
As she spoke, a sense of injustice fueled her words. “Weena saved him. He should be grateful to her!”
Charles scoffed, his voice tinged with derision. “Heh. Do you realize how many lives. Damien’s ex-wife, Cherise, has saved as a doctor? If saving someone means being indebted to them for life, then who would dare seek medical help in the future? It would mean marrying the doctor every time!”
Ursula was speechless, momentarily struck by the harshness of Charles’s words. She fought back tears, swallowing the bitter lump in her throat. “I… Fine!”
With trembling fingers, Ursula pulled out her phone. “I will inform Weena that we have to leave immediately! Even with her injured foot, I’ll wheel her out in a wheelchair and return. to our modest home in the city village. I’ll find any job I can and support her! And no matter what, we won’t trouble the Lenoir family anymore! Because damn it, she was foolish to get herself injured and limp for saving this ungrateful person in the fire!”
Charles, deeply perplexed by Ursula’s outburst, frowned and gently held her hand. “Hey, did we ever say we wouldn’t cover Rowena’s medical expenses? Did we ever say we wouldn’t help both of you? You need to understand that repaying a favor doesn’t mean controlling. Damien’s marital life.”
He paused, his gaze unwavering yet kind. “If you truly believe you’re doing the right thing. then make the call. But remember, sometimes the one who feels most embarra*sed is the one who walks away.”
He paused again, his voice taking on a sharper tone. “And you plan to solely support Rowena with your own earnings? Are you sure you can handle that?”
Ursula was left speechless. Of course, she didn’t really want to call Rowena, but her emotions. had gotten the better of her.
Just then, Cherise approached them, wearing a coat and pushing a suitcase. “Damien, who is this young woman you’re talking to?”
“A friend’s sister,” Damien replied, walking alongside her without hesitation.
Cherise raised an eyebrow. “A friend’s sister? What kind of friend? A girlfriend?”
Damien’s response was immediate and decisive. “I only have an ex-wife, no gulfriend.”

Then, a wry smile appeared on his face as he looked at Cherise. “But then again, an ex-wife can always become a girlfriend again; what do you say?”
Cherise shot him a glare and walked away, with Damien following closely behind.
Behind them, Ursula, observing Damien trailing after Cherise, angrily snapped a picture of their retreating figures and captioned it, “Look at this! Damien doesn’t deserve your time and affection, Weena!”
Moments after sending the photo, Ursula’s phone rang. A weak and trembling voice.
answered, “Lula, how many times have I told you not to go to the airport and cause trouble? Why won’t you listen? Damien and his ex-wife…”
The voice on the other end trembled slightly, laced with a hint of both tears and helplessness. “Damien can be with whoever he chooses. It has nothing to do with us…”
Ursula, fixated on Damien and Cherise’s backs, grew angrier and more frustrated with each pa*sing moment. “No, Weena! This is absurd! You risked your life to save him three years ago because you cared for him! And he… that man is just an ungrateful person!”
Rowena’s voice wavered between anger and helplessness. “Lula! Don’t be ridiculous! I saved him willingly. You should leave there and come home now. After all, if he reconciles with his ex-wife, I’m happy for him, understand? Don’t cause him any trouble, and… Whatever you do, don’t mention my recent illness to him.”
The moment Rowena finished speaking, Ursula slapped her forehead in realization. “Ah, right!”
