Chapter 32

Penulis: Chronos
Daisy sat in the back seat of her luxury car, lost in thought.

The driver spoke respectfully. "Madam, sir asked that you return his call."

Daisy took her phone from her bag and dialed Dean.

"Chris isn't pretending to be sick. His face was extremely pale, and he barely had the strength to speak. I even asked the nurses—he was in the ICU and nearly died."

On the other end of the line, Dean replied courteously, "Thank you for your trouble."

Polite. Distant. Less like a husband, more like a cli

  • The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband   Chapter 567

    Adriana stood up and said apologetically to Alex, "Sorry to trouble you so late at night, Alex.""We're good friends. There's no need to say that. Let's get the children settled in the ward first."Alex helped Adriana carry one of the children and escorted them to a VIP room. He also arranged for two nurses to stay dedicated to monitoring the children's condition."Adriana, children with fevers can become restless and fussy. Why don't you leave them to the nurses and get some rest in the room next door?"At a time like this, how could Adriana possibly think about resting? It wasn't a serious illness, but until the children's fever went down, she couldn't feel at ease."No, thank you. I'll stay with them.""Alright then. I'm on duty at the hospital tonight. Call me if anything happens."Alex opened the door and stepped out, only to run into Francesco, who had just finished the admission procedures and was rushing back.Francesco looked hurried.The moment he entered the ward, h

    Francesco tightened his grip around her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze."It'll be okay," he said in a low voice.Adriana wanted to pull her hand away, but she didn't move. It was as if her body no longer obeyed her.Only when Maeve whimpered weakly in her arms did she suddenly snap back to reality. She quickly lowered her head and gently touched the baby's burning forehead."Maeve, Mommy is here. Don't be afraid."Maeve's delicate, fair little face was flushed red. Her breathing was heavy, making her look painfully pitiful.Adriana's voice choked as tears instantly blurred her vision. At times like this, she missed her mother more than ever. If her mother were still alive, she would have taught her how to be a good mother. She would have told her exactly what to do in moments like this.A hand suddenly reached over.Francesco's fingertip brushed against her cheek, wiping away her tears. His voice was close by."I'm here. Don't be afraid."Adriana gave a muffled "mm" and hug

    The car had barely left the surrounding neighborhood when, before it even made the turn, Francesco's phone began ringing urgently.The words "Love" flashed on the screen.His heart tightened. He immediately answered."Adriana, what happened?"Adriana had blocked him. If she wasn't calling, it had to be something serious."The children have a high fever. Can you come back?"Before she could finish, Francesco had already blurted out an order to Daniel."Turn around! Hurry!"Then he softened his voice."Adriana, don't panic. I'll be downstairs in two minutes."Daniel silently stepped harder on the accelerator, speeding up.When the car arrived downstairs at the residential complex, exactly two minutes had passed.Francesco pushed open the door and strode inside.The moment he entered, he ran straight into Adriana and Heidi, who were rushing out with the children in their arms.He took the girl from Adriana's embrace.He didn't even have time to look carefully before turning

    Francesco froze. He lifted a hand, touched his chin, and leaned back into his seat.So she was interrogating him.He had thought she was taking advantage of being drunk to act recklessly."It wasn't me."He denied it without hesitation.Anna hadn't betrayed him, so he certainly wasn't about to betray himself.If Adriana found out about that matter, he would be finished.Then he asked, "Why did Anna secretly photograph your children?"Adriana watched him closely. She couldn't detect anything unusual from his expression, but the suspicion in her heart did not disappear.Francesco was too calculating. Too cunning. Otherwise, how could he have severed ties with the massive Este family in such a short period of time?She shook her head."I don't know. But I suspect she has some connection with the Este family. You angered Isabel. She might be trying to vent her anger on me and hurt my children."Whether or not Anna had acted under Francesco's orders, she needed to tell him this.

    The female designated driver, who had been silently watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but ask, "Young man, do you still need my services or not?"Max gave her Adriana's address."Just take the car there."But the next moment, he changed his mind. He handed the driver some money."Forget it. Just leave it here."The driver accepted the payment without comment, parked the car, and left.…Inside the back seat of the Maybach, Adriana put her phone back into her bag and closed her eyes.When Francesco had sent Bianca home before, he had been to her residential complex and knew where it was.Francesco turned his head to look at her.Her fair cheeks were flushed pink from the alcohol.Perhaps because she didn't want to share the same space with him, her slender brows were slightly drawn together, her red lips pressed into a thin line, and her displeasure was written clearly across her face.He asked softly, "Why did you get yourself drunk alone?"Adriana didn't answer. Sh

    Adriana sobered up halfway from the shock and glared at the furious man standing before her."Francesco, what are you doing?!"Francesco gritted his teeth, forcing out a cold laugh."What are you doing?"She knew she couldn't hold her liquor, yet she had gone out drinking alone. And after getting drunk, she had allowed a strange man to hold onto her and act so familiar.If he hadn't happened to come across them, who knew what might have happened?Max covered the swollen side of his face and stepped protectively in front of Adriana."If you have a problem, take it up with me. Don't yell at Adriana."The youthful face that usually carried an easygoing smile now looked fierce, his eyes burning with anger. The way he shielded Adriana was so natural and forceful that he looked nothing like a stranger.Francesco's handsome face darkened, and an icy aura radiated from him."When did you two meet?"Max assumed this man was one of Adriana's ex-husbands and had deliberately come to ca

    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'

    "I'm going to take a bath."Adriana sank into the bathtub, letting the warm water envelop her. It was soft, comforting, and alive with a gentle warmth. She closed her eyes, letting herself slowly slide under the surface, her body sinking, merging with the water.Until she could no longer hold her

    Francesco's hand froze as he raised the wine glass to his lips, long fingers brushing idly along the rim. He extended the glass toward Adriana in a mock salute before tipping it back and draining it in one smooth motion."Today, we truly meet, Mrs. Slater."The words were deliberately emphasized—e

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of
