Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Alice pulled up outside the gates of Sunnyridge Heights. Thanks to prior face recognition registration, she was let through without a hitch. She also had a keycard and, more importantly, she knew the passcode to Macie's apartment.After entering the passcode and pushing open the door, she called out, "May!" But no one answered. Alice then looked around the empty living room. She also checked the kitchen and scanned the balcony before heading to the master bedroom. The door was unlocked, so she pushed it open, but no one was inside. The bed was neatly made, and there was not a single wrinkle on the comforter. It didn't appear to have been used at all that day.Alice stopped in the doorway, her brows drawing together. While mentally listing all the possible places Macie could've gone, she called her. Even if she had gone out, she would've at least answered her phone or messages. Alice thought that Macie's phone might have run out of juice. But that didn't sound like Macie. Macie

Alice stared at the red light glowing above the emergency room door. "How long has she been in there?" she asked quietly."Close to an hour now," one of the men answered.She immediately tightened her grip on her bag. An hour? What exactly had Macie gone through? Was she hurt that badly during the abduction? Was she hanging by a thread?"Can the doctors even save her? I'll call in other specialists to help her!" she said, pulling out her phone to make the call.Right then, Edward walked over, looking like a man who'd been hollowed out. "Don't bother. It doesn't matter who you call; it's pointless. Besides, do you think I can't afford them?"Alice turned to look at Edward, who seemed drained and lost, and remembered how he had been making nonstop phone calls earlier. If Macie was fighting for her life in the emergency room, why wasn't he standing guard by the door? How could he still have the heart to be on his phone?"Why wouldn't the specialists help?" she asked."Macie was exp

The police officers called Sharon in for questioning at the police station, and Elias accompanied her. He didn't think it was a big deal; they just needed to clear things up and cooperate with the investigation. After all, given Sharon's history, it made sense that the police would suspect her first.However, he couldn't help but feel for Sharon as he watched her explain herself with tears in her eyes, knowing how hurt and upset she was. "I lost my head and acted on impulse last time… But I've paid the price. I was locked up for ten days, and I've learned my lesson. I swear, I had nothing to do with Macie's abduction this time!"It didn't work before, so why would I pull the same trick again? Back then, I was blinded by my love for that scumbag, and I did something extreme. But now that I've found my family, I don't have any feelings for him anymore…"The officers took her statement and checked the call history on her phone, and didn't find anything suspicious. They were about to

Elias didn't believe it. In his mind, Sharon was still a well-behaved and sensible young lady. He thought that it would be terrifying if the office were right. He didn't want to entertain the possibility.Just then, he heard footsteps and turned to see Sharon walking over. She'd already signed the papers."Let's go home, Elias…" she said, her eyes swollen from crying, her voice hoarse.Elias gently stroked her head and responded warmly, "Alright. Let's go. It's been a long day. I'll take you to get something to eat."Sharon nodded and followed closely beside him, keeping her head down and her shoulders hunched, like someone who felt deeply wronged. Elias took in her pitiful demeanor out of the corner of his eye and felt sorry for her.This case was far more serious than the last. It involved abduction and the use of illegal substances. Once they caught the culprit, whoever had hired them would face major criminal charges. So, it was no surprise that his sister was scared and anxio

Sean said that he and Macie weren't involved. Then, how the hell was Edward supposed to explain what he saw yesterday at noon? He could rationalize the earlier stuff—Macie cooking for Sean, and Sean deliberately showing off the cufflinks she supposedly bought for him. However, the blush on her face and that unmistakable shyness and helplessness… Edward wondered if Macie had genuinely fallen for Sean.The thought hit him all at once, and his body went rigid. It hit just as hard as when he first learned that they had been seeing each other.Edward stared intently at the man standing by the window. Sean was tall, lean, good-looking, and well-bred. Edward gritted his teeth. He had to admit that Sean wasn't someone he could take lightly.He could win against Julian, but if his rival in love was Sean… This was the first time Edward had felt threatened. Unless Sean never fell for Macie, he felt his chances of getting back together with her were slim. Thinking about how often Sean and
