No Escape From the Ex-husband by Summer Winters

Chapter 0007 

Samantha calmly enquired, “What are the odds?” 

“Around one percent,” the doctor answered truthfully, after some hesitation. After all, he was bound by professional ethics. 

“Alright, I understand. Thank you.” 

“Um…” The doctor’s l*ps twitched, but he didn’t say anything else. He shook his head and left. 

Samantha stood stiffly at the entrance of the hospital ward. She realized that she had lost the courage to enter. 

Harry had loved and cherished her. Since she was a child, Samantha was the apple of his eye. He had given her the best of everything. 

Three years ago, Samantha was determined to marry Kendrick. Harry knew that Kendrick was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Still, he willingly gave 30% of Duncan Group’s shares as a bridal gift. 

No one could have predicted this. Her grand wedding wound up being the source of her misery three years later. 

Evelyn heard noise outside the door. Puzzled, she exited the room to see Samantha covering her teary face. 

“Samantha, what happened? Did they hurt you?” Evelyn was elated to see Samantha. She pulled her into the ward and examined her from head to toe. When she confirmed for herself that Samantha was unharmed, she sighed in relief. 

Samantha wrapped her arms around Evelyn’s waist. Breathing in her mother’s familiar scent, she choked up. “Mom, I’m sorry.” 

Samantha lamented the turn of events. She was the eldest daughter of the Duncan family with a loving father and caring mother. She should have had a happy marriage, but that had been completely ruined. All because she loved the wrong person and married the wrong man. 

Evelyn stroked the top of Samantha’s head. She sighed, “Silly child, your father always loved to see you smile. Even a slight frown from you would make him feel heartbroken. If he knew you were sobbing like this, his heart would break into pieces.” 

Evelyn struck a pose. Imitating Harry’s tone, she said, “Samantha, defend

whole team of b*dyguards to teach them a lesson!‘ 

It brought back memories of Samantha’s past with her father. Evelyn mimicked Harry so well that Samantha couldn’t help smiling through her tears. 

Seeing Samantha smile, Evelyn felt relieved. She reassured her, “It’s okay. This isn’t the worst possible outcome. At least, we are all still alive together. I’m grateful for that.” 

Evelyn’s positive outlook rubbed off on Samantha. The ache in her heart eased gradually. 

Meanwhile, Martha was tidying up the house. When she heard the doorbell ring, she rushed over to open the door. “Ma’am, you’re home …” 

A woman with meticulous makeup and a curvaceous figure walked in. Taking off her sunglasses, she revealed her alluring eyes and said with a smile, “Mrs. White, long time no see.” 

Martha rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After a while, she said cautiously, “Ms. Snider?” 

The woman, Linda Snider, had a beaming smile on her face. “I didn’t expect you 

to remember me. 

Earlier in the evening, Kendrick returned to Ford Residence. This was perhaps the earliest he had ever returned home in the three years since his marriage. 

When Kendrick opened the door, he saw a woman sitting on the sofa. She had her back to him, and she was fl*pping through some magazines. 

Kendrick assumed that Samantha was just playing hard to get this afternoon. Raising an eyebrow, he cleared his throat and approached her. 

As Kendrick expected, the woman turned around eagerly when she heard him. You’re back?” 

To his surprise, it wasn’t Samantha that greeted him. Kendrick scrutinized her closely and exclaimed, “Linda, when did you arrive here?” 

“I’ve just only arrived. I came here specifically to meet you. Are you happy to see me?” Linda leaned in and wrapped her arms around Kendrick’s n*eck. She snuggled up to him, acting coquettishly. 

An awkward expression washed over Kendrick’s face. Linda was his mentor’s daughter, so he didn’t want to push her away forcefully. As he tried to extract himself from Linda, Kendrick heard the door unlock.

Samantha had returned to retrieve her belongings. She hadn’t expected to walk into such a racy scene. 

Samantha intended to stay with her mother at the hospital. She realized that it was inappropriate to leave her belongings at Ford Residence. After all, she was now divorced, a 

Samantha never thought that Kendrick would eagerly bring another woman home so soon after their divorce. He truly was a fickle man. 

A mocking smile appeared on her face. Ignoring the both of them, Samantha walked toward the stairs. 

Kendrick suddenly grabbed her wrist. He narrowed his eyes and asked demandingly, “Why did you come home so late?” 

He found Samantha particularly alluring this afternoon. He was frustrated that she returned home this late and wondered who she was with at this time of the night. 

The thought of another man touching Samantha enraged Kendrick. 

“How is this any of your business?” Samantha chuckled and cast a contemptuous look at Kendrick. She shook his hand off. 

Stunned, Kendrick let go of her wrist. Samantha headed upstairs without another glance. 

Infuriated, Kendrick was about to follow her when Linda stood in his way.‘ Kenny, it’s rare for me to visit. Can’t you spend some time with me?” 

“Get out of my way!” Kendrick snapped and swatted her away. Without looking back, he chased after Samantha. 

Caught off guard, Linda was thrown to the ground by Kendrick’s forceful push. Framed by her curled hair, Linda’s eyes glinted maliciously. 

Linda cursed Samantha quietly in her mind.
