Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

With her makeup washed away and her dress spoiled, she must have looked a pitiful sight.

On the subway, a childs voice pierced her thoughts.

Mom, is that lady dressed like a ghost? She looks so scary.

Is she here to take someones life? The mother, visibly alarmed, quickly chastised her child.

Dont say such things.

Its rude.

Yet her eyes betrayed her discomfort as she glanced at Dulcie.

At the next station, the mother and child exited hurriedly, treating Dulcie as if she were indeed a specter.

The harsh words and stares from other passengers didnt bother Dulcie at all.

Catching her reflection in the subway window, she understood the childs fright; her smeared makeup did give her a ghostly appearance. Too weary to care, Dulcie lacked the energy to fret over her looks.

Finally reaching her destination, she trudged back to the Shaw family home.

When she pushed open the door and stepped inside, the maid jumped, startled by Dulcies ghostly figure.

Mrs.

Shaw, you.noveldrama

what happened to you? Dulcie, drenched and covered in mud, looked as though she had weathered a storm.

Her demeanor was eerily detached, her spirit seemingly washed away with the rain.

Alerted by the commotion, Sally hurried over, her concern evident.

Upon seeing Dulcies condition, Sally gasped and quickly fetched a clean towel.

Dulcie, youre soaking wet! I tried to reach you but couldnt get through.

Oh, and I managed to get hold of Kyson.

Dulcie gave a weak nod, accepting the towel from Sally and absently drying her hair.

Her eyes were vacant, her expression numb.

Sally, noticing Dulcies hollow gaze, tried to offer some reassurance.

Dulcie, Kyson is just dealing with some urgent business.

Dont worry too much.

Ill make sure to scold him for not informing us and causing you such distress.

Dulcie barely reacted, only nodding in response to Sallys words.

Her lack of reaction spurred Sally to keep talking, attempting to break through Dulcies shell. You havent had anything to eat, have you? Shall I have the kitchen prepare something warm for you? Or perhaps youd prefer a hot bath first? It might help you feel better after being out in the rain.

I can have the maid draw one for you.

Dulcie..

Sallys voice was persistent, but Dulcie eventually cut her off, her voice weary.

Sally, Im really tired.

I just need to rest.

Without waiting for a response, Dulcie walked past Sally and headed to her room.

Sally watched her go, a deep sigh escaping her Lips.

Miss Shaw, should we have a doctor come over tonight, just in case? It wouldnt do for her to fall ill.
