Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 401 - Bab 410

If the phrase 'when it rains, it pours' ever applied to someone, Rachel was living proof.Her brows furrowed tightly. "Did William report him?""Yes. William probably found out your dad has regained consciousness. In his current condition, if he gets investigated and can't clear himself, they'll detain him. That could be the end for him!""I'm going to confront William right now!""Rachel, calm down! Going to him now won't help. William is clearly doing this to retaliate against you."After all, William had just been hit hard. The company was still in turmoil, and to make matters worse, he had spent a few days in a police station cell.That kind of experience was anything but pleasant.Rachel was anxious. "What should I do?""Doesn't William have an uncle? I heard he's terrified of that man. Maybe look into who this guy is!"Rachel's eyes lit up. She did vaguely remember hearing about this mysterious uncle whoWilliam was very wary of, maybe even someone capable of keeping him

Jim immediately said, "You said it yourself. This has nothing to do with me."Rachel didn't even want to think about it. She just walked over and pulled the blanket up for Jim. "Dad, I really hope you won't take things too far.""How is this taking things too far? Isn't this just human nature? I need to know you'll have someone to take care of you. That's the only way I'll be at peace."Jim did have his reasons.Rachel was different from Yvette. Yvette still had her grandfather, but Rachel had no one but him.With how weak his body had become, Jim knew there would come a day when he wouldn't be around anymore. When that day came, Rachel would be left with no family in this world.He couldn't even help Rachel find her birth mother.Suddenly remembering something, Jim reached under his pillow and pulled out a necklace. He handed it to Rachel."Rachel, if one day I'm no longer here and you want to find your birth mother, this necklace might help. I was completely out of it that

Just as Rachel said that, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen. It was a call from Cecilia."Sorry, Mr. Hunt, I need to take this call. If you're busy, feel free to leave," Rachel said before stepping out of the ward without waiting for Tyler's response.She sat down on a bench in the hallway. Cecilia spoke first."Rachel, we found him."Rachel couldn't hide her excitement. "That fast?""Yes, but the bad news is, the guy moves around a lot. All we know is that he was recently in Yurelia City. Word is, he'll be showing up at a business partner's banquet in three days."Rachel didn't know whether to laugh or cry."But if we don't have any details, how do we know he's really William's uncle?""I heard the man has a mole on his chest."Rachel found that ridiculously unhelpful and couldn't help but laugh. "You're not seriously expecting me to just walk up and take his shirt off, are you?"How else was she supposed to check whether there was a mole on his chest?Cecilia sighe

Tyler's eyes darkened, and his tone was firm. "What if I insist on making things difficult?"The two officers exchanged glances, both clearly torn. They knew Tyler wasn't someone to cross. Offending him could be even worse than upsetting their higher-ups.Just as they hesitated, one of their phones suddenly rang."Hello? Got it. We'll report the rest once we're back."After hanging up, the officer turned to Tyler with a more respectful attitude."We just received instructions. Given Jim Lloyd's current condition, he'll be allowed to undergo questioning here in the hospital room. We're still investigating the matter, but we must remind the family that if the evidence is solid, no matter who you know, he will have to face the consequences of the law."Rachel didn't dare think that far ahead. Her only hope right now was that Jim wouldn't be taken away from the hospital. Everything else could wait."Thank you both. I apologize if we were out of line just now. Please don't take it pe

Rachel furrowed her brows. She seemed tense."What are you trying to say?""You know exactly what I mean."Tyler's eyes narrowed slightly. His Adam's apple dipped as his hand slid slowly down from her cheek.Rachel stared at Tyler for a few seconds. She then looked away awkwardly and chuckled."You're not William's uncle. Why do you even care?"She glanced at her watch, understanding now that Tyler's words made it clear he had no intention of helping her. If he had, he would've said so already.There was one less favor to owe him. She had enough debts as it was."It's getting late, Mr. Hunt. You should head back. I need to go home and change. I'll take a cab later.""I'll take you home."Tyler didn't wait for her response. He turned and walked off."Go say goodbye to Mr. Lloyd. I'll be waiting at the hospital entrance.""You…"Rachel wanted to decline, but Tyler didn't give her the chance. He was already gone around the corner.She sighed. There was no point in arguing. T
