The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 560 - His Nickname Was ‘Hubby’ on Her Phone

Chapter 560: His Nickname Was ‘Hubby’ on Her Phone

The person on the other end of the line remained so silent that it seemed like the line had been cut off and after a long while, she finally heard a masculine voice say, “Alright then.”
Then, he ended the call.
Mo Yixuan had heard everything since he had been beside her. He pursed his lips tightly and suddenly squeezed his eyes shut as he balled his hands into fists. He could even hear his joints cracking since he had balled his fists together with so much force.
Their phone call had been very short and they didn’t say anything to express their love for each other but he saw the words that had appeared on her screen – ‘hubby’. This word was like a sharp weapon that pierced through his eyes and his heart felt so cold that it was as though it would never be able to feel warmth again.
He remembered that this was how she used to save his number on her phone as well, and it had been this way up to their divorce. She hardly addressed him as ‘hubby’ but she had never changed his title on her phone.
Yet now, she had saved another man’s number as ‘hubby’ on her phone.
Mo Yixuan felt as though his frozen heart had been thrown into the bottom of the ocean and would never experience warmth again.
He turned around and walked toward the nearby window. Night had already fallen and the winter moonlight splashed into the hospital ward from the window. The moonlight was very faint and dim. He suddenly leaned against the cold glass windows and he could feel the chilliness of the night seep through his clothing and make its way toward his organs.
She was his wife and they should have been a happy family of three but now, it seemed like there was an entire Milky Way between them and a distance that could not be bridged stood between them.
He longed to snatch her phone and delete this ‘hubby’ title from her phone but no matter what he did, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was now another man’s wife.
He Xiyan didn’t know what Ye Hao thinking and why he had taken so long to agree to her request, then fell silent right after that.
However, she didn’t have the time nor the energy to try to work out what he was thinking. She couldn’t possibly abandon Yuan Yuan when he was sick even if Ye Hao was angry about it.
She rose to her feet, poured herself a glass of water and downed it in one gulp. She saw the man standing silently by the windowsill the moment she turned around.
She suddenly blinked a couple of times and for some reason, she felt a little sad when she saw him this way. She had once stared at him looking out of the window in the same manner on countless occasions and admired his tall and cold figure. He had also stared out of the window, gazing at the streets in the distance silently back then, which made him seem very aloof.
As time passed, their circumstances have also changed. She had felt strangely uneasy when she stared at his back when they were still together but now, she could only sigh.
She had once loved this man and made sacrifices in their relationship. She had once fantasized about the beauty of love because of him but their memories together were not that great and all that was left were painful memories to her.
She guessed that she must have owed him a debt in her past life and this was why she had to sacrifice so much in this lifetime and was hurt so deeply by him.
“You should have something to eat,” He Xiyan finally addressed the figure at the windowsill and started to eat a bowl of rice. She didn’t have much of an appetite but she had to take care of Yuan Yuan throughout the night.
Mo Yixuan turned around at the sound of her voice and his eyes were wet, as though he had just cried. His eyes were full of self-reproach and sorrow.
