All Chapters of After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The night was filled with noise.Gunfire echoed, lights flickered as power lines failed one by one.Yvonne Carter stood near the medical tent, she was scared but she controlled it, she had learned long ago how to stand inside chaos without letting it own her. “Move the injured to the inner shelter,” she ordered. “No running, stay together.”Medical staff obeyed instantly.“They are testing our defense,” he said. “Not a full attack yet.”“They want to see how we respond,” Yvonne replied. “And how fast?.”Another explosion sounded, closer this time. A child cried out before being pulled into her mother’s arms. Yvonne moved toward them.“Look at me,” she told the child softly. “You are safe right now, stay with your mother.”The child nodded.Yvonne stood again and turned back to the field.She felt the weight of every life here, everybody choice rested on her.A guard rushed over.“Doctor Carter,” he said. “We lost contact with the east watch.”“How many,” she asked.“Three,” he repli

The threat changed everything.After the message appeared on the screen, the field felt different, not louder, not quieter just heavier.Yvonne Carter stood at the center of the command tent, staring at the words as if they might change if she looked long enough but they did not.“If Doctor Carter remains in command, the mission will be terminated by force.” She keep repeating the words in her head She slowly turned away from the screen.Around her, people waited.Marcus stood with his arms crossed, his face dark with anger. Adrian leaned against the table, one hand braced on the table.No one spoke.Yvonne broke the silence.“They want me gone,” she said calmly.“They want control,” Marcus corrected. “You are in the way.”Adrian nodded.“This is no longer about medicine or saving lives ,” he said. “This is about power.”Yvonne looked at both men.“And people will die if we leave,” she said. “If this mission ends, “ there is nothing stopping the chaos from reaching this city.”Marcus

The night did not feel quiet anymore, it felt watched.Observers walked with notebooks and devices, their eyes sharp and curious.Yvonne Carter stood at the center of it all.She had wanted visibility, now she had it.She moved through the camp, checking patients, listening more than speaking. People looked at her differently now, with respect, with concern, With fear for her safety but no one questioned her authority.Marcus stayed close, his injured arm wrapped, his eyes scanned every shadow.“They are not here to help,” he said quietly as they passed a row of tents. “They are here to see who breaks first.”“They will be disappointed,” Yvonne replied.Adrian watched from a distance, speaking with convoy security. Since her announcement, he had become quieter, more careful, like a man who knew his presence mattered but no longer controlled the room.Later that evening, Yvonne gathered her senior staff in the command tent.“We continue as planned,” she said. “Mobile units stay active,

Yvonne did not breathe for several seconds.The photo on her screen did not blur, It stayed clear and clean.It showed Lina.Lina standing near the storage tents, her back turned, speaking to a man in a dark jacket. The image was zoomed in enough to show the small device in Lina’s hand.The timestamp read eight minutes ago.Yvonne’s fingers tightened around the device.Lina was not just staff, Lina had been with her since the beginning of the overseas mission. She is loyal and efficient. The kind of person Yvonne trusted without checking twice and now her face was attached to a threat.Footsteps approached outside the tent. Yvonne locked the screen instantly. Her expression smoothed into something neutral by the time Marcus stepped inside.“You look like you’ve been in a fight with someone ,” he said.“Not yet,” Yvonne replied. “But someone is trying.”Marcus studied her, he knew her well enough to hear the space between her words.“What happened,” he asked.She hesitated because she

The coordinates blinked rapidly on Yvonne’s screen Every second they stayed there, the decision grew heavier.Marcus was already shaking his head.“No,” he said. “We are not even debating this.”Adrian stepped closer.“You go there alone and you disappear,” he said. “That is their plan, that is what they want.”Yvonne did not look at either of them.Her eyes stayed on the screen .A desert and remote road Perfect.“They want me scared,” she said quietly.Marcus let out a sharp breath.“This is not about fear,” he said. “This is about math. You alone versus a network that poisons people for sport, the math is bad.”Yvonne finally lifted her head.“The boy dies if I do nothing,” she said.Silence filled the air.Lina sobbed quietly in the corner. Every word felt like a knife twisting inside her.Adrian ran a hand through his hair.“We send a team,” he said. “We track the signal. We hit them fast.”“They said alone,” Yvonne replied.“And criminals always tell the truth,” Marcus said.
