Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 621 - Bab 630

"Where is May?" Alice blurted out in shock.The hospital room was completely empty. For a moment, she panicked, thinking that someone had taken Macie. But she quickly calmed down.Edward had stationed numerous bodyguards the previous day. There was no way something could've gone wrong with that kind of protection. If it had, Edward would truly be a waste of space.But now, all the bodyguards were gone too. Alice pulled out her phone and immediately dialed Nathan's number.The moment it connected, she asked him urgently. Nathan said, "I'm truly sorry, Ms. Hart. I didn't get the chance to inform you. Just 20 minutes ago, Mr. Fowler had Ms. Smith transferred to a private hospital."I've been coordinating with the police on the investigation into Ms. Smith's case and forgot to inform you."Alice clenched her fist and took a deep breath. Still, she couldn't help shouting, "Who does Edward think he is? Who gave him permission to transfer May? Does he even have that right? He's just a

"Who needs your welcome? Mr. Fowler Senior just said himself that I can stay as long as I want," Alice said smugly.Edward clenched his fists, glaring at her back as she pushed the door to Macie's ward open and walked inside. His chest tightened with rage.Inside the hospital room, Alice slowed her steps. She had purposely worn flats instead of heels that day, afraid of making noise and disturbing Macie.She sat beside the bed, looking at Macie's pale face. Her heart ached. She reached out and gently brushed the hair away from Macie's forehead.Between two years of suffering and humiliation with Edward, a divorce, and two abduction attempts, Macie had truly been through hell, only to be now drugged with something so potent.She sat with her friend for a while before finally getting up. But the moment she opened the door, she found Edward still standing there."Are you done? Then leave already," Edward said coldly."I never said I was leaving," Alice replied with a snort."Hey,

"I told Alice. She said she's not coming," Sean replied."You didn't tell her anything else, did you? It's just a meal. She can go to the hospital afterward if she wants," Diana said."I told her that it's a matchmaking lunch. Once she heard that, she was even more determined not to come," Sean said flatly.Diana was briefly speechless.She was truly at her wits' end with her children. So, she decided to step in and personally drag Alice back.Just as she picked up her phone, the sound of a car came from outside. The house staff had already opened the gate.A silver McLaren pulled into the driveway and parked. Sean stepped out to greet the guests.The door opened, and a tall, casually dressed man stepped out. His hair was cut short. But the moment the man turned around, Sean froze when he saw the former's face. He couldn't believe that his father's old friend was the father of Elias Hale.It completely took Sean by surprise. He never imagined that it would be someone he actuall

"I'm not married yet, Mrs. Hart. I've been focused on my career up until now," Elias said."That's good. A man should build his career before starting a family," Diana said, smilingly. She looked at Elias almost as if she had already chosen him as a future son-in-law.So he wasn't married. That meant that Alice still had a chance. Diana made a mental note to call Alice and tell her to come home for lunch."What about you, Sharon?" she asked, turning to the poised young woman sitting beside Elias."I'm not married either, Mrs. Hart," Sharon answered, her smile polite."You're so beautiful. I'm sure there'll be suitors lined up at the Hale family's doorstep," Diana said before laughing.Sharon lowered her gaze, her smile reserved. "I actually just want to spend more time with my parents and brother. We've been apart for so long.""You're such a thoughtful young lady," Diana praised, her eyes filled with admiration and approval. In her mind, she was already making connections.Bot

"I know Sharon means a lot to you. After all, she's your sister who went missing for 20 years," Sean continued. "But if you're still the same level-headed, ruthless Rex you used to be, then you should stay calm and keep your judgement clear."You probably won't believe a single word I say, but I'll pull the police station surveillance from that day. You can see it for yourself.""I've already read the written reports," Elias replied.Sean looked at him in surprise, wondering why he still believed everything Sharon said."I'll reiterate. First, my sister admitted she only intended to intimidate. The abduction accusation was the hired man deflecting blame," Elias stated flatly. "Second, she caused no serious injury to your sister or the other party. It wasn't a malicious assault."Sean chuckled bitterly."There were no injuries because they got help in time. If they hadn't, who knows what could've happened to Macie." His tone turned sharp. "I don't believe what you're saying any mo
