Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 273

The video was really clear, and the sound quality was great too.

A conversation between two people, clear as day.

Hearing Antwan use himself to humiliate Iris, Heriberto once again wished he could beat himself to death.

Zayden said everyone started calling Iris “the abandoned wife of the Hale family.”

Antwan clearly knew Iris’s current identity and strength.

But what was still deeply rooted in his mind was the fact that Iris was abandoned by him and by the Hale family.

It was because he and the Hale family didn’t respect Iris and humiliated her, so others didn’t respect her either.

Thought she wasn’t a good woman.

That’s what brought her all this endless pain!

Looking at the video playing, I remembered how scared and terrified Iris looked when she just ran into Zayden’s arms.

The veins on Heriberto’s hand stood out, bulging.

Even after Antwan died, he still wouldn’t let the Powell family go.

***

The doctor gave Iris a check–up and took some blood for tests.

Because the dose was high, it would take at least a week for the medicine left in her body to wear off completely.

Luckily, in the next few days, besides feeling weak all over, the leftover medicine in her body didn’t cause Iris any other pain.

After the doctor left, Laurel and Jane told Iris together about what the police had investigated and found out.

Although she was not guilty because it was justifiable defense that caused the death, the police still needed to come and take her

statement.

Since last night, the police had people guarding outside the hospital

room.

Just waited for her to wake up and nod yes, then the police would come in to take her statement.

After Iris listened to Laurel and Jane’s report, she still felt uneasy.

After all, she killed someone, and she even saw with her own eyes a grown man bleed out and die.

Luckily, at that time, her mind was already pretty fuzzy.

Otherwise, at that time Antwan just stared at her with his eyes wide open, looking like he couldn’t rest in peace.

It was enough to be her nightmare for a lifetime.

“Ms. Aguilera, it was all my fault for not protecting you. You can punish me.”

Just as Iris lowered her eyes, her gaze unfocused and lost, with no idea what she was thinking, Laurel suddenly dropped to one knee, bowed her head, and said in a voice full of guilt and self–blame.

Last night, when Zayden saw her, he had already kicked her.

But how to punish her was up to Iris, since she was Iris’s person now.

“Ms. Aguilera, about what happened last night, I messed up too. You can punish me along with her,” Jane said, lowering her head.

Iris snapped back to reality, focused her eyes, looked at Laurel and Jane in front of her, and said slowly, “Can we pretend like last night never happened.”

She knew in her heart, things that had happened couldn’t just be treated like they never happened.

But as long as nobody brought it up, maybe she wouldn’t feel like she had killed someone herself.

“Ms. Aguilera…”

“Ira, Antwan deserved it, people like him, killing him was doing society a favor, besides, you killed him in self–defense, there was nothing wrong with that.”
