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

He longed to be back at the N&L Fairy Land.

Even with his strict tutors, it was still better than being stuck here, tethered to machines.

Colby, Mommys handling the paperwork for our primary school.

When the new semester starts, well be going together.

Destinee couldnt contain her excitement at the thought of going to school with her brother.

In her mind, having Colby there meant she could do whatever she wanted in class, knowing her big brother would always have her back.

Colby noticed Lucindas furrowed brow.

Something wasnt right. Mommy, is something wrong? For a moment, his heart sank-was he not going to be able to go to school after all? Lucindas hesitation was palpable, and she looked down, unsure how to respond.

The silence grew heavier, until Nathan, standing quietly behind her, stepped forward.

Colby, he began carefully, the school youve been accepted into has an entrance ceremony coming up.

But with your current condition, Im not sure its the right time..

This school wasnt just any school-it was prestigious, an elite institution that catered to the children of the rich and powerful.

Yet, despite its reputation, it had an unusual rule: once inside those gates, no wealth or influence mattered.

The children were all equal.

Even the child of the most powerful leader had to follow the same rules as everyone else.

It was a place of merit, where no underhanded tricks could elevate anyone above the rest.

His face was ghostly pale, and his lips were drained of any color.

Though the virus had been brought under control, Colby remained frail, and every so often, a sharp ache would pulse through his chest, a lingering reminder of his weakened state.

Hed attempted to get out of bed and take a few steps, but exhaustion crept in almost immediately, draining his strength before he could even make it across the room.

The entrance ceremony wouldnt be a simple affair.noveldrama

There were activities, challenges-things that would require stamina he wasnt sure he had.

Furthermore, the entrance ceremony had been scheduled long ago, and its timing was fixed-unyielding, indifferent to anyones circumstances.

After a long pause, Colby suddenly lifted his head, his eyes locking with Nathans.

His voice was steady, despite his frail appearance. Daddy, I want to go to school.

He had already missed out on kindergarten.

He couldnt bear the thought of losing primary school too.

Lucindas heart clenched at the sight of her sons determination.

She knew how much this meant to him.

Sitting down beside him, she brushed a strand of hair from his forehead.

Aldric did say youve recovered well, she said softly, but you still need a few more days of treatment before youre fully better.

She understood his desire, but how could she risk his health? No matter how much Colby wanted to go, nothing was more important than his well-being.
