The door to the ward finally opened again Casplan, who had been curled up against the wall, quickly scrambled to his feet.
But after days of not eating or drinking, be lost all her energy
Stumbling several steps, he leaned against the wall for support and landed his eyes on the person emerging from the ward.
Peter gazed at him calmly, as though he were a stranger.
Casplan’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing the document Peter handed him, Caspian immediately understood what was going on. He instinctively stepped back.
“No, I won’t signl Peter, pleasel Please give me one mnge chance! I can’t leave Shannon!”
He dropped to his knees, his forehead touching the ground as he begged for Peter’s sympathy.
But Peter didn’t even flinch. He simply tumed to his bodyguards and ordered, “Drag him away and keep hitting him until he si
With that, Peter threw the divorce papers in front of Caspian, then turned and closed the door.
The sound of Casplan’s desperate cries faded away. Once there was silence, Peter nodded to Julia and Gabriel.
Julia finally let out a breath of relief and gently stroked Shannon’s face.
“We’re going back to Tryndor today. I’ve already made an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon for you. We’ll go straight there after we land. Gab will take care of everything here. Do you have anything left to pack?”
Shannon shook her head. Everything that reminded her of the past only caused her pain. She needed to leave it all behind if she ever hoped to heal and move forward.
The plane soared through the sky, gradually disappearing from view.
In another VIP ward in the hospital, Caspian, bruised and battered, Lay on the bed Atter what felt like an eternity, he finally opened his eyes,
“Shannon he muttered.
But the room was eerily silent, it wasn’t until then that he realized he had been knocked out by Peter’s bodyguards for refusing to sign the divorce papers.
He quickly sat up but Imocked something off the bed.
When he looked down, his body stiffened. With trembling hands, he bent down to pick it up. The words “Divorce Certificate jumped out at him.
A divorce certificate!
Caspian quickly scanned it and saw both his and Shannon’s names.
He and Shannon were divorced? How could this be? He had never agreed
Frantically, Caplan tore the Vout of his arm and bolted from the bed. He rushed to Shannon’s ward, only to find it empty.
He grabbed a passing nurse by the ann and asked with bloodshot eyes, “Where did the patient in this room go?
The curse, initially imitated, noticed the VIP hospital gown he was wearing and calmed down before replying, “Sir, the patient was discharged yesterday,” “Discharged?”
Was Shannon at home, then?
At this thought, Caspian hushed to the underground parking lot. Without wasting any time, he drove straight to the Caldwell residence.
But as soon as he stepped our of the car, he was blocked by bodyguards
Η
“Mr. Bellwether, you are not welcome here.”
Ignoring them, Caspian pushed forward, desperate to find Shantion.
“Looks like you still haven’t learned your lesson,came a cold voice from behind.
It was Gabriel, who had just returned from the office.
Gabriel walked up to Caplan and delivered a boutal punchi. “Get lost! You’re not welcome lete!”
Caspian wiped the blood from the comer of his mouth and stared at Gabriel. “Where’s Shannon? Where did you take her?”
Gabriel stepped in
”
into the house, just befor the doors closed, he coldly threw one last remark over his shoulder. “You’re divorced. You don’t have the right to know
Aclap of thunder sounded, and rain began to pour heavily.
Caspian, still recovering from his injuries, was drenched in the downpour. After a few steps, he collapsed again.
When he awoke, Alena was sitting by his side, her face a mix of concern and blame.
She then slapped him hard in the place that wasn’t injured.
What were you doing, looking for that bitch? You’re divorced!”
“Mojn!” Caspiandrowned “Shammumis my wife. Don’t talk about her like that!TM
Alena’s anger Hared, and she screamed, “Why can’t I? She’s a bitch! Not only can she not have kids, but her mum also slapped me. They’m all evil!”
At the invention of kids, her expression suddenly brightened, and her tone shifted entirely.
“speaking of which, the baby’s been bam for a while now, and you still haven’t seen him. When he sundles, he looks just like you did as a child.”
Chapter 16
The baby was just born not long ago. His face was not even fully developed, so it was hard to tell who he resembled.
But for Alena, who had been eagerly waiting for a grandson, she couldn’t have been happier. Every feature seemed perfect to her.
The last time a relative had made a comment that the child didn’t look like a tellwether, Alena had cut off all ties with them after scolding them harshly,
Alena continued to babble on, but Caspian wasn’t really listening. His gaze was fixed on the divorce certificate in his hands.
Twelve years of friendship and five years of love with Shannon had all come to an end.
But he couldn’t accept it at all.
He loved Shannon so much. How could be just let go so easily?
With that thought in mind, he dismissed Alena with a half–hearted response and asked her to leave.
As she walked away, Alena suddenly remembered something important. She tumed back and reminded him, “If you have time, go see the baby’s mother. After all, she just gave birth to your son.”
Caspian nodded absentmindedly, and Alena finally closed the door behind her.
Immediately, he pulled out his phone and dialed Shannon’s number. But her phone was off.
This was expected. He ended the call and dialed another number.
“Find out Shannon’s whereabouts,”
The voice on the other end hesitated for a moment before responding catiously, “it may be difficult to find out, Mr. Bellwether.”
Caspian frowned. “What do you mean?”
The person on the other end swallowed.
“It’s said that the Caldwells have blocked all information and forbade anyone from inquiring about Ms. Caldwell’s whereabouts. So-
“Enough! I don’t care how you do IL Find her, or you’ll be
