Chapter 879 – David’s Concern
*****‘Of course I know how it feels,’ David thought tiredly, answering her rhetorical question. ‘We both lost him for five long years.’But he didn’t say this aloud, instead, he just watched his wife’s trembling shoulders and sighed again.His wife’s emotions were always like a wildfire… beautiful, dangerous, and impossible to reason with when she was in this state.So, instead of arguing with her, he just raised his hands in surrender and adopted a gentler tone.“Come on, wife,” he said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Have you forgotten? Our son’s not a little boy anymore.”His lips curved into a small, teasing smile. “He’s a grown man now… stubborn, unpredictable, and probably doing something he thinks is important.”Laura sniffled, still glaring but visibly softening a little.“Maybe his phone died,” David continued, shrugging lightly. “Maybe he’s caught up with something urgent. Or maybe… “he gave her a small, crooked grin... “he’s ignoring your calls because
Chapter 878 – An Exasperated David
*****David stepped forward so fast that the chair behind him nearly toppled.Fear rose in his throat, a surge of panic as countless possibilities raced through his mind.Laura trembled again, a pool of tears welling up in her eyes. “I… I don’t know what happened to him,” she finally said, her voice raspy and her words shattering into a sob.The answer only deepened David’s terror, draining his face of every color.“You… you... what do you mean you don’t know what happened to him?” His voice broke as well, disbelief and dread mingling together. David failed to realize that Laura was speaking literally… And Laura, having no idea of the ambiguity in her words, nodded her head anxiously at her husband’s question, her voice trembling as she tried to explain.“He… he hasn’t come home since he left yesterday. And his number…” her voice cracked as she held up her phone, her hands shaking, “…I’ve called him over a thousand times, David. Not once has he picked up.” Her breath hitched
Chapter 877 – An Anxious Laura
*****Inside the grand and luxurious Villa Number One, the vast living room currently glowed softly in the morning light pouring through the tall windows, enhancing the atmosphere of the calm and refined elegance that always fills the space.However, the atmosphere seemed tense at this moment.Laura, Xavier’s mother, was pacing back and forth like a restless spirit, her movements sharp and uneven.The faint shuffle of her slippers against the marble floor echoed… the only sound that broke the heavy, suffocating silence enveloping the room. At that moment, her face was pale, her hair slightly disheveled, and her hands shook as she clutched her cell phone, pressing it to her ear, pulling it away, and pressing it back again in a frantic loop.“What happened?” she whispered anxiously to herself for what must have been the hundredth time, her voice trembling. “Why isn’t he answering? It’s already seven… why is he still unreachable?”Her tone carried the raw panic of a mother trying
Chapter 876 – Susan’s Rage
*****“What do you mean the hospital would worsen his health?! Are you hearing yourself?”Xavier opened his mouth, but Susan wasn’t done yet.Her voice only climbed higher and higher, her words sharply cutting through the air.“I thought… I thought you were a decent person! So… so it was you… you convinced my daughter into gambling with her father’s life?!”Every ounce of fury she had thrown at Grace moments ago turned and struck Xavier instead… twice as hard, fueled by guilt, fear, and raw heartbreak.Xavier’s throat went dry.He swallowed hard, trying to form words, but his tongue felt like lead. “I… I…”Susan, however, didn’t give him the chance to speak; instead, she cut him off with a furious glare.“If anything happens to my husband,” she shouted, her voice trembling with emotion, “I swear with my life, I will fight you to my last breath!”Before Xavier could respond, she snatched up her phone with shaking hands and punched in a number. “Hello? Are you an Uber? Get to
Chapter 875 – Susan’s Rage
*****Xavier had never anticipated any of what had just transpired, and so, for a moment, he had no idea what to do.So he just stared, his brain appearing to have become stagnant, before finally… he drew in a careful breath.“Mother,” he said softly, the words startling Susan.Her head instantly snapped toward him, her eyes blinking as though she had only just remembered he existed.Seeing him, her face softened slightly… just a fraction, remembering all the ways he had helped since his arrival.“Yes?” she replied, her voice curt but less sharp now.Xavier hesitated for a moment, measuring every word like stepping over a minefield, before finally speaking carefully. “I think… you’ve misunderstood Grace.”Susan’s brow furrowed instantly, a dangerous spark lighting in her eyes.Her lips parted, ready to fire back… but Xavier pressed on before she could explode.“She was going to the hospital, driving so fast and recklessly, desperate and anxious just like you,” he said quickl
Chapter 874 – Susan’s Accusation II
*****Susan’s voice had lost every trace of warmth at this moment, and now, what remained was nothing but a voice shaking with rage, disbelief, and a grief so heavy that it scraped her throat on the way out.“This… this same man,” she began, her tone trembling but cutting like glass, “might be spineless and powerless to protect you, but… but he knelt an entire day outside the mansion… under the scorching sun, begging for your arranged wedding to be canceled for goodness sake!” her voice rose an octave, her entire body trembling frantically. “He… he sacrificed for you, bled for you, and yet, because of one… just one slight mistake, you…”She stopped, her words caught somewhere between fury, disbelief, and complete heartbreak.Her chest heaved, her lips trembling as if she wanted to continue but knew that if she did, there would be no control over what would come out of her mouth and no taking it back.So instead, her eyes slid shut and she swallowed hard, her entire frame tremblin
