All Chapters of My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

The lights went out.Complete darkness swallowed the research station.Rebecca heard Sebastian stumble beside her.Then came another sound.Footsteps.Not from the corridor.From beneath them.Something was climbing the stairs.Slowly.One step.Then another.Harrison raised his weapon toward the darkness.“Everyone, stay where you are.”Rebecca could barely breathe.The voice from below came again.“Rebecca…”Claire.There was no mistaking it.“Mom?”Jonathan grabbed her arm.“Don't go down there.”Rebecca pulled free.“You heard her.”“I did.”“Then move.”Jonathan shook his head.“You don't understand what is down there.”Rebecca stared at him.“Then explain it.”Before he could answer, a loud metallic crash echoed from below.The footsteps stopped.A woman's frightened cry followed.“Rebecca, run!”Then silence.Sebastian switched on his phone flashlight.A narrow beam cut through the darkness.“Where's Jonathan?”Rebecca turned.He was gone.“Of course,” Harrison muttered.“He di

“Dad?”Rebecca's voice trembled as she stared into the chamber beneath the laboratory.For a moment, nothing happened.Then the voice came again.“Rebecca.”Her knees almost gave way.She knew that voice.She had spent years trying to remember it clearly. The sound had faded with time, buried beneath old photographs, unanswered questions, and the official story of her father's death.But there was no mistaking it.Daniel Bennett was alive.Claire grabbed Rebecca's arm.“Don't go down there.”Rebecca pulled away.“You told me he was dead.”“I told you what I had to tell you.”“You lied!”Claire's eyes filled with tears.“I was trying to protect you.”“Everyone keeps saying that!”Rebecca's voice echoed through the laboratory.“You protected me by taking away my father? By making me believe he died?”Claire looked toward the chamber.“You don't know what Daniel became.”A deep mechanical sound interrupted them.Something moved below.Rebecca looked down.“Dad!”“Rebecca, listen to me.”

The receiver slipped from Rebecca's hand.It swung slowly from its cord, knocking against the wooden box beneath it.“She isn't your mother.”The words remained in Rebecca's mind.Again.And again.Claire.Not her mother?It made no sense.Rebecca stared at the old telephone.“Dad?”Nothing.She grabbed the receiver again.“Dad!”Only static answered.Sebastian stepped closer.“Rebecca, we need to keep moving.”She barely heard him.“My father said Claire isn't my mother.”Sebastian looked at her.“You don't know if that was really Daniel.”“It was his voice.”“You said yourself someone may be manipulating the communications.”Rebecca shook her head.“No. I know my father's voice.”Sebastian lowered his voice.“Then we find out the truth. But not here.”A distant explosion shook the tunnel.Dust fell from the ceiling.Sebastian grabbed her hand.“Now.”They ran.Behind them, the research station trembled.Claire heard the explosion from inside the laboratory.She looked toward Daniel'

The door slammed behind them.Rebecca spun around and grabbed the handle.“Claire!”Nothing.She pulled harder.The door didn't move.“Open it!”Mercy ignored her.Instead, she moved deeper into the narrow passage, her cane tapping against the concrete floor.“Rebecca, we have to keep moving.”“My mother is back there!”Mercy stopped.Rebecca stared at her.“You said Claire wasn't my biological mother. Fine. But she raised me. She protected me. She is my mother.”Mercy's face softened.“I know.”“Then don't ask me to leave her.”“I am asking you to survive.”A deep vibration passed through the walls.The same low electrical hum Rebecca had heard beneath the research station.The specimen.She could feel it now.Not hear it.Feel it.A strange pressure moved through her chest.Her locket became warm.Rebecca pulled it from beneath her clothes.The tiny black fragment inside had begun to glow faintly.Mercy saw it.Her expression changed.“You still have it.”“You know what it is?”“I k

Darkness swallowed the chamber.For several seconds, there was nothing but the sound of people breathing.Then something moved inside the glass cylinder.Rebecca heard a low crack.Crack.Another.The glass around the boy began splitting.“Everybody back!” Sebastian shouted.Rebecca couldn't move.The boy was awake.His eyes were open.And he was looking directly at her.A thin line appeared across the glass.Then another.Jonathan stepped backward.For the first time since Rebecca had seen him, he looked genuinely frightened.“Shut it down,” he ordered.David rushed toward the control panel.“I can't!”“Then cut the power!”“I already tried!”Claire grabbed Rebecca's arm.“Come with me.”Rebecca pulled away.“You knew.”Claire's eyes filled with tears.“Yes.”“You knew I had a brother.”“Yes.”“And you left him here?”Claire looked toward the chamber.“I didn't leave him.”“Then what did you do?”Claire swallowed.“I chose you.”Rebecca stared at her.“What does that mean?”Claire's
