The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 669
"About an hour."Bella had barely gotten the words out before the line went dead on the other end.Bella called home right away and booked the next available flight to Westin City.She knew Adriana well enough to know there was no way she'd have left Riley alone somewhere and gone wandering off on her own, and certainly no reason for her to have wandered anywhere near the edge of a cliff.If Adriana's phone had turned up at the base of that cliff, foul play was far more likely than an accident, and that possibility was a thousand times more frightening than a simple disappearance.She didn't dare think about it any further and drove straight to the airport.Whatever the truth turned out to be, she couldn't sit around in Heatherton waiting for an answer.Meanwhile, another private jet had requested an emergency flight path and was already waiting on the tarmac.The air pressure in the cabin felt almost as heavy as the darkness settled over Francesco's brow.Out in Westin City,

"Got it. She's here!"Riley cried out, holding the phone up in front of the hiker.The hiker zoomed in on the map, his face going tight. "Two kilometers from here. Let's move, now."The veteran hiker took the lead, with Riley and three others close behind, striding quickly toward the pinpointed location.The last kilometer cut straight through dense forest, branches scraping at their faces the whole way, and with every step, Riley's heart sank a little further.By the time they finally reached the spot the phone had marked, Riley looked out at the sheer cliff before her and felt like she'd been dropped straight into an ice cellar.Her legs gave out, and she sank to the ground, mind blank, every ounce of strength drained from her body.The hiker stood at the cliff's edge, peering down, but thick fog blocked the view completely. There was nothing to see."There's no way. Adriana couldn't have..."Riley muttered, clawing at her own hair, then scrambled to borrow the hiker's phone

That night, Adriana slept unusually soundly.The next day, Riley had a hiking trip planned through the mountains.Adriana had specifically asked for more outdoor activities, more time in nature, and the rolling forested peaks around here were the best option for it.She kept up a regular exercise routine year-round, so a hike like this wasn't much of a strain for her.The two of them fell in with a larger group of tourists, following the marked trail through the trees.The mountain air was damp and cool, and everywhere she looked was a deep, layered green.The foliage seemed almost alive, spilling toward them in dense, cascading waves from every branch.Walking through it, Adriana felt her whole spirit lighten, the mountain breeze seeming to pass straight through her soul and sweep away every trace of grime.Riley kept her camera raised the whole time, snapping away nonstop, exclaiming over everything she saw."Adriana, now I finally get what people mean by 'so green it looks

Adriana stepped into the elevator, and the moment she pressed the button to close the doors, Chris slipped in after her."Adriana, are you really going to shut me out completely? You're the only family I have left in this world."As he spoke, his eyes reddened, his expression turning bleak and lost, his voice trembling.Watching him come apart like that, Adriana didn't know what to do for a moment, her fingers curling slightly."Chris, I'm still your family. And you have Dean now, and Edward too."Chris looked down and gave a small laugh, a single tear sliding down his lashes and dropping to the floor."Dean and Edward are family by blood. You're family by something else. That's not the same thing."The elevator gave a soft chime and opened on Adriana's floor.She looked at him, hesitated a moment, and asked quietly, "Do you want to come sit in my room for a bit?"Chris shook his head. "No, I won't. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about you. As long as you're happy,

Adriana got up to answer the door and saw Riley standing there looking anxious. "Adriana, we're about to be late," Riley said."My alarm hasn't even gone off yet." Adriana reached for her phone as she spoke and found it had died and shut itself off.She shrugged, sheepish. "Sorry. I'm holding us up.""Go wash up. I'll get everything together."Riley took her phone, plugged it in to charge with quick, efficient movements, then packed the few essentials Adriana would need into her bag.The moment Adriana came out from washing up, Riley quickly did her makeup for her.Less than ten minutes later, the two of them were out the door, neat and put together.Riley's efficiency and clear thinking were exactly why Adriana had hired her as an assistant in the first place.With her around, there was a whole list of small things Adriana never had to waste her own energy on.Today's work ran the whole day, and by evening, Adriana turned down the director's dinner invitation and took Riley

Riley's face turned serious at once. "That's not true at all! You got where you are on your research talent. If it weren't for those two marriages, you'd probably be flying even higher by now."Adriana tilted her head and laughed. "Such a sweet talker. Point out anything you like, and I'll buy it for you."Riley cheered. "Thank you, Adriana! Long live Adriana!"Watching the girl's boundless energy, Adriana found herself catching some of it too, the tension from days of work easing, her spirits lifting.The two of them took a cab to the trendy restaurant. Riley had booked ahead, so they only had to wait outside for a few minutes.Riley pulled out her phone again and went right back to snapping away, the restaurant's decor, the food, herself."Adriana, let's get a photo together?""Sure."Adriana flashed a peace sign, leaning in a little closer to Riley.The shutter clicked, and Riley stared at the result with obvious envy. "Adriana, your face is so tiny. Standing next to you, I

"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

Seeing the wicked glint at the corner of Francesco's eyes, a sense of foreboding rose in Adriana's chest.She lifted the binoculars. The moment the cross-river bridge came into view, she saw a figure climb over the unguarded end of the bridge and plunge into the river below.Even from a distance,

Grandma Rosie had once told Adriana she dreamed of Adriana's parents, Roger and Samantha, imploring her to take care of Adriana. To be entrusted is to be faithful. Adriana's sense of responsibility toward Chris likely stemmed from the influence of Grandma Rosie throughout her childhood.She crouc
