The Wife You Shouldn't Have Lost 161
The whole family gathered in the living room. Harthwore's health was deteriorating, yet he refused to be admitted to the hospital. Instead, he insisted on receiving treatment at home.Even Natasha had tried to persuade him to stay in the hospital, but he kept insisting that he wanted to be home when Layla returned.Unable to change his mind, the family reluctantly respected his decision.As the day went on, Joshua took Harthwore's place in meeting the brothers. Although Salvatore had insisted on accompanying him, Joshua assured him that he had everything under control.After Joshua left the house, Ethan stepped out of the living room and dialed Adrian's number. He was doing everything he could to make sure they found his sister.“I was just thinking of calling you,” Adrian said as he answered. “Good thing you called.”“Is everything okay?” Ethan asked.“I found a new address on Jade's phone. She left it behind at the old woman's apartment with her late daughter's friend. And, interest

It was late at night, but Adrian insisted on returning to the old woman's apartment to check on her condition. Besides, he had been calling Jade, but she wasn't answering. He also wanted to speak with Norah about the surrogacy.When they arrived at the apartment, Adrian reached for the door before his spy could open it for him. As he stepped inside, he noticed the guard he had assigned standing outside the entrance.Without saying a word, Adrian walked past him and entered the house.Inside, he found Norah sitting on the couch.The moment she noticed him, she quickly stood and bowed her head respectfully.“How is she?” Adrian asked.“Much better,” Norah replied. “The doctor came earlier with one of your guards. The doctor left after examining her, but the guard stayed outside.”“What about the lady who came with me?” Adrian asked.“She left a few minutes after you did. She received a phone call, and after that, she looked a little strange before leaving.”Adrian frowned, deep in thoug

“We can't tell them we didn't find her,” Ryan said as he dressed the cut on Adrian's shoulder. “Father's condition is already serious. There's no way I'm letting him find out we lost her again.”“I agree,” Joshua added. “Father mustn't know about this, and neither should Mother. We'll come up with another plan.”Adrian gently pushed Ryan's hand away and sat upright, resting his hands on his waist.They still needed to catch the figure, and he hadn't received any updates from the men he had sent after him.“I don't think he's working alone,” Adrian said thoughtfully. “He received a message while we were talking, and the name that popped up…”“We just need evidence,” Joshua interrupted. “I'm certain he has a connection with Ruth.”Adrian nodded slowly. He was beginning to believe the same thing. At that moment, one person came to mind—Jade.“We managed to rescue the old lady,” he informed them. “She's back at her apartment. I asked Jade to stay with her until I returned.”Joshua leaned

Night had already fallen by the time Adrian arrived at the agreed location with a bag full of cash, accompanied only by his spy. The knife he had taken from the woman's house was still tucked into his waistband. Tonight would settle everything. Either he would walk away alive, or one of them wouldn't.Layla would soon be rescued and in safe hands. With that assurance, he was prepared to do whatever it took.He sat down and waited patiently. The man was always late, and Adrian had grown used to it.About five minutes later, the figure finally appeared, accompanied by several armed men. Adrian, on the other hand, had come with only his spy. Seeing him this young still baffles him.Once the man took his seat, Adrian leaned forward with a faint smile.“Before we begin, I have a gift for you.”He snapped his fingers, and one of his men stepped forward.The moment the figure saw the man, he shot to his feet, his mouth hanging open in disbelief. He had been convinced Adrian had killed him af

The day had finally come to an end. Joshua had planned to take his father to the hospital for his appointment with the doctor, so he made sure everything was ready before escorting him to the parking lot. Once they reached the car, Natasha, who had accompanied them, handed Joshua Harthwore's medication before waving goodbye to her husband. He smiled and waved back before getting into the car.Watching his wife grow thinner with each passing day broke Harthwore's heart. He felt he had failed not only as a father but also as a husband. Years ago, it was his negligence that led to the loss of their daughter, and now that she had finally returned, they had carelessly allowed her to be kidnapped.They had just gotten onto the highway when Joshua's phone vibrated with a notification. Without hesitation, he glanced at the screen. At a time like this, any message could contain information that might lead them to Layla. Business was the least of his concerns.As soon as he opened the message a

“This will be our exit point,” Adrian said, pointing at the blueprint spread across the table.After days of searching, they had finally tracked down the location where Layla was being held, although they still didn't know who was behind the kidnapping.“Shouldn't we leave this to the police?” Natasha asked softly as she leaned against Harthwore's shoulder.For days, she had cried herself to sleep. Some days, she barely ate.Adrian walked over and knelt beside her.“I know how worried you are, Mother,” he said gently. “But trust us. We'll bring Layla home safely.”Natasha lowered her head.“I'm just scared something might happen,” she whispered. “You know how these situations can turn out, even with the police involved…”Her voice broke as fresh tears streamed down her cheeks.“Ethan,” Adrian called softly, “please take her upstairs. She needs to rest.”Ethan nodded.Without saying a word, Natasha allowed him to help her to her feet. Together, they slowly made their way upstairs.A fe

The machine beeped profusely, alerting the nurses in the room. One of them jerked up and scurried to the doctor’s office. It didn’t take long before she returned with a doctor. The doctor approached the bed to examine what went wrong.The surgery had gone well, and they had expected her to be awake

Nolan arrived home hoping to have a conversation with his wife, but he was met with silence. After much waiting, he decided to confront the maiden of her whereabout.“What do you mean she didn’t inform you?” he roared, the vein in his neck pumping in and out. “You’re the one who stays home with her

The room gradually emptied, everyone leaving her behind as she remained seated, engulfed in unending, devastating pain. She suddenly dropped to the ground, struggling to breathe, her body sprawled on the cold floor, her eyes rolling back until only the whites showed.Layla reached for a glass of wa

The next day, Layla forced herself to make breakfast for everyone, including Ashley, who had spent the night at the mansion. She barely slept, yet she still woke up early to ensure everyone was fed. There were maids in the house, but whenever her mother-in-law came around, she scolded her for not he
