Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

"Why didn't you tell me first?"
Feeling that her face was moist, Melinda took a piece of paper towel to wipe her face. After calming down, she slowly asked in a
husky voice.
Hearing this, Jonas was nervous. He seemed to have done something wrong.
"Mellie, are you crying?"
Jonas asked in a soft voice. He had been full of uncertainty when the loud announcement on the airport broadcast reminded him
to board. But thinking of the news he had read, he made up his mind.
"No. You suddenly came back because of your pending work at the office, right?"
Taking a sip of water, Melinda tried to raise her spirits. She calmed herself down and began to ponder if it was because of
something urgent in the company that Jonas had to return home early.
The two of them had been busy traveling for half a month. Melinda could convince herself right now with such justification, but
she still had some apprehensions in her heart. Even so, Jonas could always check up on her and then they could fly back home
together.
He knew well that she couldn't comprehend or speak the local language in this foreign country. She would be panicky without
him around.
"Emily was injured during the shooting."
After a long pause, Jonas finally admitted the real reason to her. This unexpected news made Melinda's heart sink.
She suddenly shivered and thought how chilly it was that evening in Japan.
The broadcast reminded him the second time around to embark on the plane. Jonas knew that he couldn't delay it anymore.
"Mellie, I have to go back to check for myself. It's time for me to board. Have fun in Japan. I've already arranged a tour guide for
you."
Since their trip wasn't over yet, Jonas felt a little guilty about returning home in advance. He had thought of taking her back with
him. However, it was already late at night. He desired Melinda to have a good time, so he hired a tour guide to accompany
Melinda wherever she wished to go.

As she listened to Jonas in silence, Melinda's heart grew colder and colder. Without saying any word, Melinda hung up the
phone.
Should she be relieved that she could stay behind and enjoy the sights with a local guide? When Jonas was worried about Emily,
he didn't forget to arrange the itinerary for her. Perhaps he was concerned that Melinda might go back and sabotage their
relationship.
Melinda sat on the floor, and her hands dangled feebly. Her mobile phone fell on the floor and made a crisp sound.
The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt. Suddenly, she remembered that Jonas mentioned Emily sustaining an
injury during the shooting. Hence, she picked up her mobile phone to check domestic news.
There were already several press released about Emily's injury on Weibo. She quickly browsed it and roughly figured out the
incident.
She learned from the news online that Emily was seriously hurt, so Jonas must be distraught.
With a mocking smile, Melinda wondered whether she was laughing at herself or at her relationship with Jonas.
Over the past two weeks, she had forgotten all of her sorrows and sufferings. She followed her own sincere heart, hoping to get
along well with Jonas because when he said he liked her, his eyes were sincere.
He also deleted Emily's contact information in front of her and his grandpa. He brought her with him to make her watch the
break-up scene between them.
At the thought of this, Melinda felt like a fool. If Jonas liked Emily, what was the use in deleting her contact information or
severing ties with her?
Jonas could also find out news updates of Emily from many places.
"Melinda, you are so stupid,"
Melinda said in a faint voice, her arms wrapped around her shins, and her chin resting on her knees. She couldn't help but shed
tears, and the recent events flashed through her mind like a passing breeze. Finally, their act stopped when the two signed the
agreement.
From now on, it was not about relationships but benefits.

Her heart couldn't stand such disgrace anymore.
Nelson had believed in their love. She just needed to wait until Jonas inherited the family property. Then she would file for a
divorce.
Residing in her hometown and living with her grandparents might prove beneficial to her and her writing career. Anyway, she
didn't want to have anything to do with Jonas after that.
As Melinda considered this, she leaned her head against the wall and fell asleep. The screen of her phone was still on, and
Emily's injury was on display.
Jonas boarded the plane, but he was a little flustered. He recalled the story regarding Emily's accident and crash from the
harness while shooting.
They had announced something terrible had happened but had no updates about it.
In China, Emily was quite satisfied that the news of her mishap had spread worldwide. She believed that Jonas wouldn't be so
heartless, and that he would show some compassion when he saw this news.
In fact, Jonas had received a call from William before he learned the situation of Emily's injury on the Internet.
"Many reporters outside asked about your injury, and your fans are concerned about you. Are you really not going to send a
message to inform them of your safety?"
Emily's injury had been dealt with. Now she was lying on the bed with a bunch of flowers by her side, which made the quiet ward
more alive.
Her agent stood in front of Emily and looked at Emily with displeasure.
Emily had made many decisions and had made a lot of news about herself before informing her, which made her very unhappy.
But she didn't want to force Emily to do anything, because Emily had Jonas as her backer.
Fortunately, Emily was not that bad. Not long ago, she had received a lot of projects because of Jonas.
She didn't anticipate that Emily would get into trouble so soon.
"I'm still in a coma. How can I tell my followers that I'm safe?"

Emily asked with a smirk. She looked a little pale and haggard, but her scheme was obvious.
The agent thought that such a cruel and calculating person would really fit in the entertainment circle.
"Do whatever you want with your life. Don't cause any more inconvenience. Nobody has the time to clean up your mess every
single time."
She didn't handle many artists, but those under her management were all big names. Now she had the most popular rising star
in the business. Hearing her words, Emily lowered her eyes to suppress her emotions.
"I see. You can assign an assistant here,"
Emily said. The agent did leave an assistant to take care of Emily. Recently, Jonas had provided a lot of assistance, but not all of
them went to Emily.
The agent had a good grasp of the production team and its entire operation. She also knew how to let everyone under her team
exert the most effort. She had equally assigned some of the collaboration to others.
It was one o'clock in the morning when Jonas arrived at the airport. William got up from his bed and went directly to the airport to
pick him up.
"How's her injury?"
"I don't know. We haven't received any news from Miss Bai's studio. The news said that she lost consciousness. The hospital is
currently full of media people and avid fans,"
William replied. He had wanted to get hold of a copy of the video about the incident, but he couldn't find one. Both the crew and
the team were holding back the injury of Emily.
The more they behaved like it was not a big issue, the more anxious the fans became. They were even exaggerating the bruises,
and only a few people knew how serious the injuries were right now.
"How about the company?"
"They were silent, too. Mr. Gu, are you really going to see Miss Bai at this hour?"
William hesitated for a bit. He didn't think it was a good idea. If Nelson knew it next day, he would be angry.

"Please make an arrangement."
Since Jonas had shown his willingness and stance, William couldn't do anything else. Still, he could sneak Jonas into the ward.
He knew Jonas well enough. He had arranged everything, but he just wanted to persuade him.
The hospital was bustling even late at night. Many fans were waiting outside, and many paparazzi were squatting in the parking
lot. As soon as the agent's car pulled away, a low-profile vehicle entered the parking lot.
The tall man dressed in a white lab coat stepped inside the elevator with glasses and mask on. He stopped at the VIP floor and
finally proceeded to Emily's room.
The nurse was just changing the IV fluid for Emily while William waited for Jonas inside the room. He opened the door and let
Jonas in before walking outside.
In pain, Emily was about to scold the nurse when she noticed Jonas.
The nurse looked at Emily in surprise. She groaned inwardly, 'These actors are so good at performing that they can pretend so
quickly.'
"How are you doing?"
Standing three steps away, Jonas studied Emily quietly. She looked pale, and her hands and legs were in plaster, but it was not
as critical as stated on the Internet.
She had no serious internal injuries, disfigurement, or disability.
"It hurts."
The pain on Emily's face was not fictitious. Her injury was not as exaggerated as stated on the Internet, but it was no laughing
matter.
She didn't want to hide it from Jonas and even desired to behave like a spoiled brat. But noticing that Jonas tried to keep a
distance from her deliberately, she was reluctant but helpless.
"How did you get hurt? Didn't they double check the props before filming?"

Jonas asked with a frown. He had funded the TV show and had particularly reminded them to take care of Emily. Why did Emily
still get hurt?
"I'm no longer famous now. The company doesn't worry about me, let alone the crew. They just treat me casually,"
said Emily, gritting her teeth. Jonas refused to believe it. A crew should take things seriously when it came to the safety issue,
even for an actor doing supporting roles, not to mention for a famous actress, even if she was a little inactive now.
"I have invested in this TV show, so I've warned them before."
"Jonas, you know that there are many people who violate the rules and act against the practices in the entertainment circle. My
company just put your money into growing some new actors. As for me, who cares?"
Jonas couldn't tell if Emily's words were reliable or not. But Emily was seriously wounded. He looked at the medical records at
the foot of her bed and found that although she was in plaster, her bones and muscles were not hurt.
"My company doesn't treat me properly anymore. I can't get security now. I'm not getting any younger. If I get hurt again and rest
for some time, they'll hide me from the public. Jonas, I need your help,"
Emily spoke again. She had always maintained a feeling that Jonas was her supporter. In the beginning, Jonas did protect her,
but since Melinda returned to the Gu's mansion, news of their love spread like wildfire.
She had received a lot of ridicule and even coldness.
