The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 675
In just seven short days, Francesco seemed like a different person.He'd lost noticeable weight, his appearance had gone unkempt, and gray had even started showing at his temples.Mars looked at those jarring streaks of gray and felt a knot of unease settle in his chest.If they didn't find Ms. Adler soon, he genuinely feared his boss's mind would break completely.Francesco left the food untouched, opened his eyes, and spoke, his tone eerily calm. "Arrange a private flight. I'm going to Mitaly."Mars startled, turning to stare at him. "Boss, what if the Este family holds you there? And if they really are the ones who took Ms. Adler, they should already be reaching out to negotiate her release."He spoke faster, trying to talk Francesco out of it. "Besides, the Este family's reach isn't nearly strong enough to track Ms. Adler's every move back in Heatherton, let alone follow her all the way out to these mountains."Francesco's tone stayed just as flat. "Just arrange it. I have m

Since Adriana had gone missing, every hour had become almost unbearable for Francesco, his heart scorched raw by fear with every second that passed.But no matter how unbearable, time refused to stop for him.Seven days had gone by, and most of the search teams had walked away from both the high pay and the enormous reward, pulling out of mountains that hadn't seen a break in the rain for a full week.Everyone knew perfectly well that even if Adriana was still somewhere up there, the odds weren't in her favor.A river cut through the valley and eventually fed into a larger one, its current swift and, after days of relentless rain, swollen even higher. If a person fell in, survival would be next to impossible, and even recovering a body would be an ordeal.Over these seven days, Francesco had slept less than ten hours total.He'd gone over every bit of surveillance footage from the roads leading up and down the mountain, frame by frame, his eyes bloodshot from the strain, and foun

Richard's voice was low and steady. "Focus on finding Adriana. I'll clear my schedule and look after the kids myself for the time being."Francesco thanked him and hung up.Mars asked, brow furrowed, "Boss, are you worried the kids might be in danger too?"Francesco rubbed at his temples. Days of strain had left his eyes bloodshot."Adriana's disappearance was almost certainly no accident."Whether whoever had done it acted on impulse or had been planning this for a long time, he had no way of knowing.He couldn't afford to let even the smallest risk fall on the children.He stood, swayed slightly, then strode off down the mountain.Three straight days of heavy rain. There was nowhere in these mountains a person could stay hidden that long.If Adriana was still alive, chances were the culprit had already quietly moved her off the mountain.Unless...No. There was no other possibility.He forced that thought down and made himself work through every possible scenario methodic

Several people scrambled to carry Chris into the medical tent.A moment later, the doctor pushed the tent flap aside and stepped out, his tone urgent. "Mr. Slater's condition is critical. We need to get him down the mountain for treatment immediately."The medical team had come with Francesco, so the doctor looked to him, waiting for instructions.Mars glanced at Francesco, then made the call himself without hesitation. "Assign one medic to go down with him."He turned to Chris's assistant and added firmly, "If his condition is that serious, you'd better call Dr. Alex Nash right away and have him fly out here to take Mr. Slater back to Heatherton."The assistant quickly found two men to carry Chris down the mountain, staying close by his side the whole way, dialing Alex as he went.The medic Mars had assigned followed right behind, keeping constant watch on Chris's condition.Watching the group disappear into the black, rain-soaked night, Mars tried once more. "Boss, why don't y

Francesco charged forward and grabbed Chris by the collar, hauling him up nearly off his feet, growling out the demand. "Why are you in Westin City?"Chris hung there like a limp paper doll, letting himself be dragged around, his eyes vacant and numb, his face drained of all life.The assistant holding the umbrella scrambled to explain. "Mr. Este, Mr. Slater came out here for a business meeting. You can check his schedule."Francesco's grip didn't loosen a fraction, his knuckles cracking, his eyes locked murderously on Chris. "It was you, wasn't it?"Chris's face had gone the color of ash. Something twitched at the corner of his mouth. "That's right. It was me. Go ahead and kill me."Fury pushed Francesco past his limit. He hauled Chris up with both arms and slammed him down hard into the mud.Chris crumpled to the ground, coughing violently, one hand clutching his chest. The assistant, startled, dropped the umbrella and rushed to help him up."Mr. Este, please, calm down!"Two

"Adriana!""Adriana Adler!"Francesco gripped the flashlight tight, leading the group forward, shouting into the storm the whole way.The search teams had already combed this stretch of forest for a solid afternoon, and he knew perfectly well how slim the odds were of finding her here.But the more clearly he understood that, the more afraid he became. Afraid that Adriana might still be somewhere nearby, and that they simply hadn't found her yet.Shout after shout was swallowed by the storm. They followed the trail all the way to the summit and found nothing.Mars hurried to catch up, shouting to be heard over the rain. "Boss, you're soaked through. Stay out here any longer, and you'll get hypothermia. Let's get back to the car!"The rain was too loud. He had to put everything into his voice just to keep from being drowned out.Francesco stopped in his tracks and looked around.A wall of white rain, black mountains stretching endlessly beyond it. He couldn't see a thing.If A

"What do you think?"Joan let out a haughty snort, stepping back half a pace—right onto his polished leather shoes."When we were abroad, we could still meet often. But now that we're back, it's nearly impossible to see each other."Dean's usual calm, composed demeanor shifted; a playful, almost

In the blink of an eye, the day of Grandma Rosie's memorial arrived. Adriana got to the cemetery early, confirming the arrangements with the staff.Dew clung to the grass beside the graves, soaking her pant legs as she walked. She settled on a bench to dry off, lifting her gaze to a sea of headston

"Oh—Edward, did you just tap the voice recorder?"Joan snatched the phone away, uneasily glancing at Chris."Chris, I'll delete it right now. Edward was fiddling with my phone while he was eating. Who knew it would record Adriana's words?"Chris said nothing. His expression tightened, his eyes li

"I can keep investigating for you, if you'd like," Charlie offered.In truth, he could have followed the trail and uncovered whoever was behind it. But the matter might involve Adriana's privacy, so he chose not to pursue it further.Adriana thought for a moment. "Then I'll trouble you, Charlie. C
