Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 76

Adrian“It wasn't me!” Aurelia screamed as the police dragged her out of George's house. “Please believe me! I didn't hurt Scarlett!”I stood by the front door, one hand tucked into my pocket, watching the officers escort her toward the waiting patrol car. Whether her tears were fake or genuine made no difference to me, as the evidence had already spoken.Her gaze landed on Halsey. “Halsey, you know I'm not that type of person who can hurt others without batting an eye. You've seen how I am around your son, Kale. Please... convince Adrian.”Halsey cracked her knuckles loudly. “Adrian... maybe we should give this a little more ti—”George cut in before she could finish. “No. If the footage says Aurelia did it, then she did. They should get her out of here before she decides to attack someone else!”I shifted my attention to him. There wasn't a single trace of concern on his face for her. Rather, George looked relieved, as though he was finally getting rid of a long-lasting thorn by his

AdrianMy gaze settled on Ethan. “Mr. Vale, I didn't expect to find you here. Then again, I'm not surprised, as it's only natural you were worried about your lover given her current condition. If you two still have unfinished business, I could give you a few more minutes to wrap it up.”Ethan let out a forced laugh. “There's no need for that, Mr. Hartley. Aurelia and I are done talking.”He turned to her. “I'll see you later, honey.”She neither answered nor spared him a glance. I waited until Ethan was gone. Then, I pulled an empty chair in front of Aurelia's cell and lowered myself onto it.“Your lover seems very concerned about you, so let's get straight to the point. Did you tamper with my wife's brakes?” I asked.She hesitated. “...I didn't do it.”“Then how do you explain the CCTV footage that captured you lurking behind Scarlett's car?”She drew a slow breath. “Ethan and I had a fallout at a hospital about our son. I tried calling him several times, but he wouldn't answer. I ev

Adrian“I’m a new nurse,” the male nurse answered.The doctor scratched the back of his head. “In that case, my apologies for misunderstanding. Have you changed the patient's IV bag?”He nodded, reaching for his mask. “Yes, I have.”“Then, come with me.”Trudging behind the doctor, my gaze rested on the man. Hospitals were large, but not to the point that a doctor would forget his worker. Either the doctor was careless, or this man wasn't supposed to be here.“Wait,” I called out, stopping the nurse before he could reach the door. I gazed low at the name tag clipped to his uniform and then back at him. “Nicholas?”The man's gaze didn't waver. “Yes, sir.”Without another word, I gently let go of him. “Thank you for your service.”He bowed politely, then exited the room with the doctor. Turning to Scarlett, she looked like she was in so much pain.“The painkillers have worn off?” I asked, although it wasn't a question.She managed a faint smile. “A little.”“The cops and I are doing eve
