The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 603
"Adriana, I've pulled surveillance footage from the hospital and nearby streets. The footage shows that person carrying Maeve into an unlicensed van."Adriana pressed one hand against the cold wall, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "Where did the van go?""After leaving the main road, it turned into a side street outside the camera coverage. That road leads to a few abandoned factories and the outskirts of the city. I've already called the police and contacted friends—they're searching now.""What if they hurt her…"Adriana slid slowly down the wall, crouching low, her hands clutching her head. What did the kidnappers want? Was this revenge for Joan? Or had the Este family hired someone?She tried to think, to piece it together, until her temples throbbed with pain—but nothing came together. All she knew was that in either case, Maeve was in grave danger.She pulled out her phone and stared at the screen, her eyes red-rimmed and burning. The kidnappers had taken Maeve—they mus

Adriana returned home and washed off the day's exhaustion before heading to the nursery to check on Milo and Maeve. Under the soft glow of the nightlight, the two children were bundled in their own blankets, breathing softly, fast asleep. She gently pulled the door closed and went to her room. Just as she lay down, her phone screen lit up with a message from Max.She couldn't be bothered to open it. She set the phone aside, turned off the light, and went to sleep. Max was always sending some lukewarm greetings and concern—it wasn't worth the time to reply when she could be sleeping instead. If it weren't for Bella and Nicholas's relationship, she'd have already spelled things out and blocked him everywhere. She never should have added him as a contact in the first place.Fortunately, Max didn't send any more messages over the next few days. That unread, unreplied message was long forgotten in her inbox, never opened again.As the last dried leaf spiraled down from the branches, wint

As Adriana walked out of the lab and passed by the pet hospital, the lights were still on inside. She could faintly hear the meowing and barking of cats and dogs. She greeted the security guard by the gate, walked over to her car, stretched, and looked up at the sky.A solitary moon hung in the night, its light dim but clear."Adriana."Someone called her name. Adriana turned to see Max standing under a streetlamp in a gray hoodie."Max? What are you doing here?"She frowned slightly. They hadn't seen each other since that meal at the restaurant across from his school. He'd send her messages now and then, and if she happened to be free, she'd reply to a few. Other than that, they had no real connection.She wasn't some naive young girl. The frequency of his messages, his tentative invitations—she couldn't pretend not to notice. So she kept her distance deliberately, not wanting to give the kid any false hope.Max walked toward her, hands in his pockets. "Adriana, I was hoping we

"You're crazy."Adriana muttered under her breath and went back to eating. She didn't even need to taste it to know the food was prepared to her preference—the Stanley family chef's cooking, with fresh ingredients to boot.Francesco didn't mind being called crazy. If anything, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He pulled out his phone to handle work messages, leaving Adriana to eat in peace.The office fell quiet, save for the soft clink of her spoon against the bowl and the faint sound of chewing. The warm aroma of food hung in the air.Only after Adriana set down her spoon did Francesco speak. "There's a tech innovation expo in Kilia City next month. Want to go check it out together?"Adriana was well aware of the expo—their company had even secured a booth. For a new business, it was a rare opportunity for exposure."Our company has a booth. I'll be going with the team.""Perfect. I can introduce you to some useful contacts."Adriana didn't respond. Even if she ref

Heidi smiled. "The weather's nice today. After their shots, I'll take the babies to the park for a bit—getting some fresh air and time with nature is good for them.""Alright, I'm off to work then. Milo, Maeve—be good, okay?" Adriana waved at the babies.They waved their little hands back at her, babbling sweetly.She left the house reluctantly. By the time her car had barely cleared the underground garage, she was already missing them. But the product development was nearly complete—this was their first product, and it couldn't afford any delays.Once she arrived at the lab, she dove straight into work, pushing everything else out of her mind. It wasn't until someone knocked on the lab door that she surfaced from the sea of data.Francesco stood outside in a black coat, sharp-featured, holding an insulated lunch box in one hand. A hint of late-autumn chill clung to his shoulders.Compared to other seasons, autumn always felt fleeting. The summer heat had barely faded before the

The cold air from the car's AC seeped through her pores, and Chris felt a chill spread deep into his bones. Adriana's words just now had made one thing clear—she was drawing a line between them, telling him to stop interfering in her affairs. But how could he possibly stay away? She was the most important person in his life.Neither of them spoke for the rest of the drive. The only sound was the soft whisper of air through the vents.Adriana pulled up in front of the Slater family estate. Chris opened the door and stepped out, wanting to say something, but when he turned back, all he saw was her cold profile. The door had barely closed before the car pulled away, its taillights vanishing into the dusk.Adriana drove home alone. After that night, she threw herself entirely into her work, hustling alongside Bella. On the first day of autumn, their pet-focused company, Pobu, was officially launched.Adriana stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of her office, gazing down at the city be

Francesco was supremely confident, moving without a shred of protective gear.Adriana tightened her grip on her sword, testing him with two tentative thrusts—both easily dodged by Francesco.His reflexes were lightning-fast, and soon he returned a strike of his own. Adriana couldn't evade it in ti

Daisy studied Edward, a flicker of something unusual passing through her eyes. The boy looked far too much like a member of the Slater family."Mhm, I gave birth overseas," Joan said.She gently nudged Edward toward Daisy. "Edward, hurry up and say hello to Daisy.""Hello, Daisy.""So adorable,"
The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 21
Adriana dragged her exhausted body home, barely responding as Chris's voice called after her without even looking up.Resigning from her job was out of the question. She couldn't miss the chance to study and work in the lab. If she could develop an intelligent device that allowed Chris to walk norm

"We haven't even been at the hospital long. How did your family find out so fast?""Someone must have told my dad. They said I publicly humiliated and scolded Chris yesterday."Adriana sensed something was wrong and immediately called Chris's assistant."If anyone asks, tell them that Chris went
