The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 677
Chris wouldn't hurt Maeve, but would he lock the girl up too? The way he'd done to her?And Milo. Chris had never liked him. What might he do to Milo?The unsettling thoughts gnawed at Adriana like ants, relentless, until she couldn't take it anymore. She lunged at the door and pounded on it with everything she had."Chris, I know it's you!"Let me out! Please!"Chris, I want to see you! Come out here!"She screamed herself raw for over half an hour, her throat aching with the strain, and still no one came.Now that she knew the truth, the pain and terror felt sharper than ever, worse than the confusion and helplessness she'd felt before.All she could do now was pin every last hope on Francesco, praying he'd keep the children safe, praying he'd realize soon that it was Chris who'd taken her.After that burst of raw emotion drained out of her, she slowly calmed down.Out here on international waters, there was nothing she could do.The only thing left to her was to survive,

Out on the endless ocean, there was no way to even tell direction.The past two days had been overcast, and without the sun, Adriana couldn't make out east from west anymore. Whatever method she'd used before to orient herself no longer worked.No matter when she looked out the window, all she ever saw was the same gray sea, like a cold, thin film stretched over the whole world, pressing the breath out of her.If not for the date scrolling in the corner of the television screen, she wouldn't even have realized she'd been trapped here a full seven days.She'd stopped calling for help. This was clearly a private yacht, and they were most likely drifting somewhere out on international waters.She could scream herself hoarse, and no one would ever answer, let alone come to save her.In the days since, she still hadn't laid eyes on a single person.To try to force whoever was behind this to finally show themselves, she'd started refusing to eat.But even after two days without food,

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

Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho

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'

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,"
