Chapter 112

Author: Where is Spring
After the call, Zack quickly sent a shocked emoji.

"That Lucius Horner? The famous cardiac surgeon?! How did you get his contact info?"

His surprise was understandable.

Lucius was legendary in the medical field for his innovative heart surgery techniques. Anyone working in medicine knew his name. He had retired three years ago and hadn't made any public appearances since.

Yet Maria could simply make a call, say a name, and get him to come out of retirement? Zack felt almost overwhelmed.

"He and my father were close. I used my father's connections," Maria replied, her nose suddenly stinging a little. Her father truly had always protected her. Even after so many years, whenever she was threatened, she could still call on his connections to defend herself.

It was like her father's spirit was still watching over her.

After Maria's simple explanation, Zack just laughed. "Don't think I'm ignorant about this. Even if you have connections, not just anyone can get Dr. Horner to show up.

    "Start talking." Richard glared at Zack, who lay on the ground in front of him.Zack shut his eyes weakly but let out a chuckle.Richard was stunned. Even his two bodyguards exchanged a glance, unsettled. How could anyone still laugh at a time like this?Zack forced himself up by pushing off against the floor and then looked at Richard's desperate face. His chuckle turned into full laughter. "Didn't expect you to feel this at all!" Richard narrowed his eyes, cold as ice.Zack pointed at him. "You're nothing but a failure, you know that? You never deserved someone like Ms. Brooks. You ruined her, and now her life is over! The only thing you deserve is the worst of all fates!"Richard's gaze grew even colder. "Are you going to tell me or not? Or do you want me to bring your parents here and have them hear it for themselves?"Zack didn't look scared at all. He raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Fine. You want to know what's wrong with her? I'll tell you."He pulled a medical rep

    Soon, two bodyguards brought Zack.When Zack walked in, he was startled by the expression on Richard's face. He had never seen so much despair, exhaustion, and anger in a single expression all at once.Zack froze for a second, then quickly shifted back into his usual unhurried manner. "You called me here for something?"Richard clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Zack. "Here's a question. Is the reason you and Maria are so close because of a sickness she had?"On the way here, Richard's mind kept replaying everything that had happened lately. Maria often had nosebleeds. She always looked pale, as if she were completely worn out on the inside.Worried about her health, he urged her to see a doctor and get checked, but something always got in the way. Either that, or she would just get upset and refuse. He hadn't thought too much of it. He figured she was simply weak from all the blood loss and didn't expect any serious illness.But the way Eleanor acted so hesitantly, as if sh

    "Are you satisfied with everything now?" Richard's tone was oddly calm as he turned to Eleanor.Eleanor stepped forward. "I'm sorry, Richard. It's my fault. I kept delaying, thinking we could always get the divorce done later. That's why you and Maria ended up like this."Catelyn gave Richard a hard look. "Alright, stop blaming yourself. You're Richard's wife. His grandmother and I have accepted you. You don't owe anyone an apology."She shot Richard a cold glare. "Let's be honest here. Don't you bear some responsibility too? If you had settled things with Eleanor before rushing off to marry and have a son with another woman, none of this would have happened!"Richard remained expressionless as he listened. Then, he took out his phone and called the police. "Yes, my wife is missing. I need someone to help me find her."He hung up, then looked straight at Catelyn. "Neither you nor Grandma ever asked what I wanted from the very start. You two forced me to get married to Elea

    After the maids brought the two items, Richard first picked up the time capsule.He opened it and pulled out a document. The moment he read the contents, his eyes immediately narrowed.It was a Kinship Annulment Agreement. There were only a few lines, but they were written in absolutes."From this day onward, I, Maria Brooks, am no longer the mother of Jonathan Shaw. I am no longer responsible for his upbringing or care. When I die, he does not need to bury me. He cannot inherit any of my assets and is not qualified to stand before my grave."Richard was stunned, unable to believe what he was reading. He read the agreement repeatedly.So even back on Jonny's birthday, Maria had already planned to cut ties with him and to even sever her relationship with her son. Was she already preparing to leave with another man?Richard's expression grew darker.He gritted his jaw, then turned to the other item the maid brought. It was an envelope meant to carry documents.So, Maria had left

    "Alright, I'll start the search. But boss, your health comes first," Gary said before rushing out to arrange for the investigation.Richard sat, waiting anxiously. An hour later, Gary finally returned. He simply looked at Richard, unable to say anything. However, his face already told how bad things were.Richard gave him a cold stare and asked, "What happened? Explain."Gary scratched his head and replied helplessly, "I've already sent people out to track down the madam, but she has deleted all her social media accounts. Her phone was disconnected, too. We even activated her tracker, but we can't get a location on her. I think she did it all on purpose to hide from us."Richard fell silent after hearing everything. Then, he suddenly remembered Maria's words."Let's never see each other again."And there was something else. She said she had left something for him and Jonathan at home, but he couldn't remember seeing anything like that. Urgency and frustration surged inside

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 157

    It took Richard a long time before he could even remember what had happened the night before.He had nearly forgotten how he and Maria had broken things off almost for good. He had confronted her in anger and despair, and Maria didn't even offer a word in her defense. She hadn't even tried to stop him when he threw away his wedding ring.Richard instantly felt his mind was a mess.Noticing his unsettled look, Catelyn scoffed. "I've told you. You must trust your grandmother and my judgment. We've lived longer, and our decision is for your own good. Eleanor is the one who's best for you. Maria's not a loyal woman!"Richard pressed his lips together, looking increasingly troubled.Catelyn couldn't help but sneer again. "Back when she suddenly showed up, claiming that she fell for you at first sight and courted you, I knew something was off. And now, look what happened?"Richard became even more irritated and shot Catelyn a look. "That's enough.""I'll say what I want. Now that Mari
