The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 248
The plane touched down, and a driver was waiting.Adriana sat in the car, peering out at the familiar scenery. They were clearly heading toward the cliffside villa."Francesco, I'll find a hotel for myself," she said cautiously. The memory of being alone with him at the villa last time was still fresh—she didn't want to repeat that awkward, uncontrollable tension.Francesco, wearing dark sunglasses, was looking down at his phone, replying to someone. At her words, he glanced up."We're here for business, not sightseeing. Work discussions are continuous—do you really think separate lodging makes sense?"Adriana offered softly, "Maybe we could just have a video conference."Mars interjected, "Miss Adler, my boss doesn't like video conferences.""So staying at my place feels like an inconvenience?" Francesco diverted his gaze, the words dripping with sarcasm, his fingers still flying over the keyboard.…"I just thought it would avoid misunderstandings," Adriana explained. In sit

Adriana had just presented the draft version to Francesco; if he asked for revisions, she was ready with the second, polished version she had prepared in advance."There are a few details that still need refinement," she said. "I'll send you the updated version before we land."There was no sense in letting her efforts go to waste, and to handle Francesco, she had deliberately left a few minor flaws in the draft."No need," he said, taking the folder from her hand and placing it in front of him. "This is fine. Rest well on the way there.""Okay," Adriana replied, sinking into the wide, comfortable seat and leaning back, enjoying the moment.Even though Francesco said no changes were needed, by his standards, the draft would never pass. She would pull out the second version once they landed. For now, she allowed herself to enjoy the journey.Sliding the window shade up, she gazed outside. The plane was flying over a stretch of undulating mountains. Thin clouds draped like gauze ab

Francesco sat alone in his study, dressed in dark green loungewear. His long, slender fingers rested casually on the keyboard, while his deep-set eyes remained fixed on the computer screen.On the monitor were photos of Adriana and Chris, laughing and interacting with intimate ease. They seemed entirely unaffected by the public uproar over Chris's affair.A bitter smile flickered across Francesco's face. Adriana truly loved Chris. The proud, independent girl he had once known had now completely lost herself for the sake of a man.He had once believed he should respect her choices, whether right or wrong. He trusted her resilience and clarity of mind; she wouldn't stray too far from what was right.But now, he regretted that.If Adriana had made a mistake, he would correct it himself. Even if she came to hate him, things could not be worse than they were now.Monday arrived, and Adriana received notice of a business trip to Mitaly. She had no objections—business was business."Fr

Joan followed closely, her stance firm. As long as Edward stayed, everything Chris did in the future would still belong to Edward. Chris's health was fragile, and aside from how long he would live, whether he could have more children was uncertain."Fine."Chris considered the request reasonable—and beneficial for Edward's upbringing—so he agreed.Joan watched the father and son drive away, then left Starry Villa herself, heading straight for Rosewood Avenue.Recently, Chris's health issues, combined with the scandal surrounding his affair, had significantly elevated Dean's status within the Slater Group. When Joan pushed open the door, he was leisurely sipping wine, utterly at ease."Want a glass?"Joan set down her bag, kicked off her heels, and took the half-full glass from Dean, downing it in one gulp."When are you getting divorced?" she asked."Frustrated with Chris?" Dean refilled his glass, sipping slowly."I've never wanted him—only his assets. Now that our child is o

"I want Mommy! I want to be with Mommy! Waaah!"Edward clung to Joan, sobbing uncontrollably, tears and mucus streaking across his face.Chris watched, torn between frustration and heartache. He sank onto the sofa, reaching for a cigarette—but then paused. Seeing Edward still here, he put it back in the case."When's your flight? I'll have Jimmy take you to the airport."After Joan's involvement with Joshua in harming Adriana came to light, he had investigated her past actions. It turned out she had always deceived him, taking advantage of his attempts to make amends. Now, she was using Edward's attachment to her to manipulate him again. He hated himself for being blind, for letting Joan drive Adriana away."What flight?"Joan froze, her crying abruptly stopping."You were going to take Edward abroad, right? Fine. I'll let you—give up custody. I don't need to raise him. Besides, Adriana and I will have children anyway."Chris's tone was cold, detached, and indifferent.Joan fe

Though Heidi couldn't help worrying about Chris, she knew, in terms of right and wrong, he had overstepped. The truth was, she didn't want to stay there to care for Edward any longer.She didn't want to care for the boy whom Chris had acknowledged as his own. Today, Chris was hosting a family gathering to officially announce the boy's recognition into the Slater lineage."I'll come stay over this weekend. You can stay at the family estate," Adriana said.The Slater family estate was her ideal place to live, but it was too far from work; she hated wasting time commuting. The staff there had been in place since Grandma Rosie was alive, and Adriana hadn't changed a thing.She pushed open the door to her old room. Everything was exactly as it had been—neat, orderly, as if someone had always been living there. Seeing the familiar surroundings, a pang of "things remain, people change" swept through her heart."Madam, are you still staying in this room?"Heidi stood behind her, her hear

Adriana tilted her head back and let out a deep breath.Whenever her mother was mentioned, her nose tingled, her eyes pricked with tears. She forced a wry smile, staring straight at Chris, ignoring the redness around her eyes."You almost made me lose my mother's keepsake. It was Neo who got it fo

Adriana strode out of the exhibition hall, inhaling the crisp evening air. Her mind immediately cleared.It was still early, so she decided to head back to the lab. The research on the walking aid she was developing for Chris had hit a bottleneck, and the stack of materials she had prepared was wai

Francesco rose and sank into the sofa. "Sit."Adriana took the seat across from him. "May I ask what kind of meeting this is?"The clock pointed to eleven. Most of the office staff had already left. She suspected his intentions weren't about the meeting at all, but about cornering her.Francesco'

Adriana, determined to avoid her Grandma Lydia, hurriedly completed her discharge late at night and checked into the Nash family's private hospital.The next morning, Chris called."Where are you?"After waking, he had rushed to the hospital as soon as Jimmy updated him on her condition, only to
