Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Davey showed Casey the video to test whether she had really lost her memory. He had no idea that what he did only ignited her fighting spirit.
Casey vowed to make good use of her limited time to get in touch with her daughter. Since she didn’t die after jumping off the building five years ago, it only meant her life still had a purpose.
So, she should not give up just yet. She could take all kinds of humiliation now. After all, it was nothing compared to being reunited with her daughter.
At this moment, Davey was in the living room.
When Jimena came up from the basement, Davey stopped her.
Jimena looked at Davey. He had already changed into a black shirt.
His eyes were cold, making him look indifferent.
Davey was the kind of person who became more and more elegant as he got older. When he was in his twenties, he looked too young for his age. And when he got older, he was more popular among women.
Davey was in his forties now. But with proper care and exercise, he looked like he was only in his early thirties. He was extremely charming. Although he was known for being ruthless, many women in Aurora still liked him desperately.
However, Jimena would never take a fancy to Davey at all. Since she had become the Glyn family’s private doctor, she had seen too many bloody and wicked things. As a result, her legs trembled every time she saw Davey. For Davey, she felt nothing but fear.
“Mr. Glyn, what can I do for you?” Jimena asked cautiously.
Instead of answering her question, Davey looked at Jimena’s tightly clenched fingers and asked casually, “Jimena, are you afraid of me?”
“Me? I…” Jimena wanted to imitate others and praise Davey for being outstanding in appearance, talented, and respectful. But she couldn’t utter a word. She could only admit nervously, “Yes.”
It was just a simple single word, but it made Davey happy. Since Jimena was afraid of him, she naturally wouldn’t dare to betray him and do tricks behind his back.
Davey pursed his lips and said, “I’m not a monster, Jimena. You don’t have to be afraid of me.”
Jimena nodded. But it was obvious from her expression that she was not relaxed.
Davey asked casually, “What did you two just talk about in the room?”
“Nothing, Mr. Glyn,” Jimena replied in a low voice.
“Nothing?” Davey sneered. “You two were in the room for an hour. Are you saying that you didn’t talk the whole time?”
The sneer on Davey’s face was terrifying. Jimena was so frightened that her legs trembled, and she knelt on the floor with a flop. “Mr. Glyn, I’m sorry.”

Davey still had a casual look on his face. He put down his crossed legs, stared at Jimena, and asked, “What are you sorry for?”
“I… I…” Jimena hesitated for a while. Then, finally, she confessed, “I shouldn’t have agreed to buy medicine for madam.”
“Medicine? What medicine?”
Jimena handed Davey a piece of paper. Davey recognized Casey’s handwriting.
Jimena banged her head hard on the floor. “I’m sorry, Mr. Glyn. I shouldn’t have taken her money. She promised me fifty thousand dollars, so I agreed to buy medicine for her.”
After reading the paper, Davey said expressionlessly, “Fifty thousand? She is generous.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Glyn. It’s all my fault. I promise I won’t do it again. Please give me one more chance…”
“Buy it for her,” Davey interrupted impatiently, his voice cold.
“Mr. Glyn?”
The corners of Davey’s lips curved into a smile. He threw the paper back to Jimena. “I said, buy it for her.”
Jimena stared at Davey in a daze, wondering if she had heard it wrong. After confirming that Davey really meant what he said, she still didn’t dare pick up the paper on the floor.
Davey was somewhat satisfied with Jimena’s timid look. He said in a low voice, “It’s okay, Jimena. But from now on, whatever she says to you, you should let me know.”
“Okay, Mr. Glyn. I will.” Jimena was sure Davey was not joking, so she immediately agreed.
“By the way…” Davey paused, restraining his emotions. Then, he continued in a low voice, “How long will it take for her to recover?”
Jimena was speechless for a moment.
Thinking of Casey’s bruised body, Jimena couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She thought for a while and said, “Normally, it will take a month. She needs to have a good rest.”
“That’s too long,” Davey said indifferently. “She must be cured in five days.”
Jimena was rendered speechless again. Judging from Davey’s cold and indifferent face, Jimena knew he was not joking. She didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune to be loved by a man like him.
Jimena lowered her head and said softly, “I will do my best, Mr. Glyn.”
Davey seemed to be smiling. But the corners of his mouth were sinking, making it hard to tell his emotions. “Jimena, I believe in your ability. I know you won’t let me down.”
His voice sounded gentle, but it made Jimena feel invisible pressure.
She knew that if she couldn’t do it, the consequences would be serious.
Davey leaned back on the sofa and said in a low voice, “Jimena, since you are so easily tempted by the fifty thousand dollars, it means you are not satisfied with your current salary. If that’s the case, I will give you an extra fifty thousand every month. Just take good care of her.”
“No, no, no. It’s mot like that, Mr. Glyn…” Jimena waved her hands and shook her head vigorously. She would never dare to ask for money from Davey. However, he suddenly said, “Jimena, my patience is limited. You’d better not refute my words.”

His words sent a chill down Jimena’s spine. She picked up the paper and said in a trembling voice, “Thank you, Mr. Glyn.”
As soon as Jimena walked out of the door, Davey’s handsome face darkened. What he said about having a baby was a joke. Even if Casey was really pregnant, he would not ask her to give birth. Casey was no longer young. It would be dangerous for her to give birth. He couldn’t let her take the risk, so he’d rather not have a child.
Davey didn’t expect Casey to take his words seriously and ask Jimena to buy some contraceptive pills for her. Did Casey believe she would get pregnant with her condition?
But then, Davey thought of something. Since Casey supposedly had memory loss, could it be that she thought she was only eighteen and could get pregnant?
Davey frowned and walked to Casey’s room. Casey was on the bed, resting with her eyes closed.
Davey’s big palm caressed Casey’s back, giving her goosebumps. But she endured it and did not dodge it.
“Why are you not asleep?” Davey asked gently.
“I can’t sleep…” Casey murmured, “Davey, can you give me some money?”
Her words made Davey laugh. He never imagined that the proud Casey would ask for money from him. But this only proved Jimena’s words.
Casey wanted money to bribe Jimena.
At the thought of this, Davey’s anxious heart gradually relaxed.
Seeing that Davey smiled but didn’t say anything, Casey was annoyed and snorted. “Forget it.”
“Hey, don’t be angry. Did I say I wouldn’t give you?” Davey said in a low voice, overjoyed.
He leaned over and kissed her earlobe gently. Then, he said in a low voice, “Casey, even if you want the stars or the moon, just tell me and I will pick them for you. Just promise you won’t leave me.”
Casey was not affected by his kiss at all. She seemed used to it already, and she didn’t care. Her beautiful eyes stared at him and said, “I want money.”
“I will give you money.” As he spoke, Davey bit her lower lip and kissed her again. Then, he added, “What’s mine is yours.”
When Casey saw the intense lust in his eyes, she couldn’t help shivering. He scared her. “Don’t… It hurts…” Her face flushed.
She felt too shy to say it out.
“Don’t worry. I’m controlling my desire.”
When Davey loved, he loved devotedly. But when his hatred was greater than love, he could hurt others without hesitation. Generally speaking, it was dangerous to love or be loved by him.
Just like at this moment, Davey treated Casey tenderly. He wanted to present her with the best care.
“Don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you. I know you’re not feeling well now. Have a good rest. I won’t be so rude next time. Last time…” Davey explained seriously, “I have been pressing it for too long, so I failed to hold back.”
Once back home, Jimena took out another piece of paper handed by Casey and read the item on it over and over again, trying to remember it clearly. Angelica Sinensis. It was not a contraceptive pill at all.
Casey was indeed smart, having considered all the possibilities and wisely instructed Jimena to “confessing” of buying medicine for her, a strategic move to divert Davey’s attention.

This time, Jimena was more confident that her whole family could leave with Casey’s help. If given the chance, who wouldn’t want to lead a peaceful life? Lacking any members couldn’t be counted as a whole family.
Jimena threw the paper into the water, feeling more determined.
When Audrey arrived in her office, her assistant immediately reported.
“Miss Glyn said that she doesn’t need any dress for the time being.”
Audrey frowned. Katie’s capriciousness made her speechless. “Then, make it clear to her that if she doesn’t confirm it now, we can’t deliver the dress on time. Don’t accuse us of being inefficient then.”
