Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband: Kabanata 341 - Kabanata 350

The moment Adriana got off the plane, she shoved the messages Bella had sent her in front of Mars."So you boys have been playing me for a fool this whole time? Bianca has obviously already broken free from Isabel's control."Since Francesco doesn't trust me and insists on hiding everything from me, then tell him this— from now on, we go our separate ways. He can lie to whoever he wants!"The moment she finished speaking, she turned and dragged her suitcase away.They had already laid everything out in the open between them, yet Francesco still lied to her again and again. And it was always under the excuse of "doing it for her own good," while keeping her trapped in the dark, terrified and helpless."He was forced into this marriage!" Mars blurted it out in panic. This was all his boss's fault—such a complete idiot.Adriana stopped in her tracks, turned around, and got into Mars's car."Talk. What exactly is going on?"Left with no choice, Mars told her the truth."When you w

Francesco fell silent and took a sip of red wine.After confirming no one was nearby, he lowered his voice and asked, "How are the arrangements coming along? Don't screw over your own son.""Everything's arranged properly, but…"Richard hesitated. What kind of father helped his son run away from his wedding?"There's no 'but.' Thanks. I'll be a good son to you from now on."Francesco cut him off and drained the rest of the wine in one gulp.Richard waved him off."That won't be necessary. We'd better keep some distance between us as father and son. Especially things like helping you escape a wedding—don't ask me to do that again."Once Francesco successfully fled the marriage, he would probably have to start preparing for his own divorce too.The wedding was about to begin.Standing beside the priest, Francesco felt increasingly irritated. Just wearing this suit made him uncomfortable all over. He looked out at the ocean, forcing himself to stay calm.The priest officiating

Francesco gently pulled back a corner of the blanket and found Adriana's cheeks slightly flushed, her breathing slow and even. She had already fallen asleep."Well, looks like all that talking was for nothing."He tugged the blanket down a little farther, exposing her head.Adriana was sleeping deeply. She must have been utterly exhausted lately.As he stared at the familiar sleeping face before him, it felt as though a spring breeze had drifted through the dead of winter inside his chest, leaving his heart warm, restless, and faintly intoxicated.He gazed at her in silence for a long while before remembering he still had important things to handle.Mars was downstairs waiting for him, practically falling asleep already."Sir, are we heading back to Heatherton City?""Pack everything first. We'll leave once Adriana wakes up."Francesco unlocked his phone. His father had returned it to him before the wedding began.Countless missed calls.Countless unread messages.He found

Watching Adriana leave without once looking back, Francesco felt a sour ache rise in his chest.He had said he would wait there, and Adriana really had gone alone without bringing him along.He sat down on the sofa and casually picked up a book about rehabilitation, flipping through it absentmindedly, though he couldn't absorb a single word.When Adriana entered the garden, she spotted Chris immediately beneath a camphor tree.He sat in a specially designed wheelchair, his complexion as pale as ever, his frame even thinner than before. He wore a black lounge outfit.Anna sat beside him, reading aloud.Looking around, nearly everyone else in the garden was elderly.Adriana wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, forced a smile onto her face, and walked toward him."Chris."At the sound of her voice, Chris seemed stunned for a moment before finally turning toward her."Adriana?""I happened to be passing through, so I came to see you."Adriana greeted Anna, who smiled

"As for you and Francesco being together, neither my dad nor I object to it. I'm just wondering whether there's anyone on your side we can discuss the engagement with."At first, Richard had opposed the relationship. But under relentless pressure from Francesco, he had reluctantly agreed to at least meet Adriana first.Now that he had met her and spoken with her tonight, he had completely abandoned the idea of opposing them.Adriana had Francesco wrapped firmly around her finger. If he continued resisting, he would only end up like his wife—losing this son entirely.Objectively speaking, aside from the mismatch in family background, there was nothing about Adriana that made her unworthy of Francesco.Although families like theirs didn't necessarily need a scientist as a daughter-in-law, when it came to scientific talent, Adriana might even surpass Francesco."Isn't this a little too rushed?"Adriana hesitated. There were still things she hadn't explained clearly yet. Until she s
