When the car disappeared from sight, he got up, his face pale.
“Wes… is his driving really that bad?”
Elijah couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Mr. Wilburn really was both wicked… and stupid!
The rain was pouring down.
Even with the wipers on at full speed, everything ahead remained a blur.
Wesley’s hand gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins stood out. With rain this heavy, she shouldn’t be able to get far…
But after searching all the way, he still hadn’t caught sight of her.
In the end, the car stopped by the roadside.
Wesley mmed his fist hard against the steering wheel.
Every time he thought of Prisci running out in soaking wet clothes, her face pale, his heart twisted in pain.
He regretted saying such humiliating words to her.
At this moment, all he wanted was to find her and hold her in his arms to apologize.
And to make it up to her properly.

But with rain this heavy, she had run out without her phone.
He couldn’t find her.
He drove forward for a few more minutes, but still saw no one. The panic pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He called Elijah, instructing him to send people to look for Prisci immediately.
On the other end of the phone, Elijah listened to his boss’s anxious voice before daring to speak.
“I had someone follow Mrs. Carlton. She went to the hospital.”
His boss was the ssic case of a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As a seasoned assistant, Elijah had already made arrangements.
Just in case something like this happened.
The hospital.
Prisci sat dazed on a chair in the corridor.
She had run out of Chaston Vi, the rain was too heavy, and she couldn’t get a cab. Just as she was about to despair, a kind stranger appeared.
The kind stranger stopped the car and asked where she was going.
Her mind was a mess at the time, and all she could think about was Bonnie.
She just wanted to throw herself into Bonnie’s arms and have a good cry.

So the kind stranger brought her to the hospital.

She wandered in a daze to the door of the ward. Seeing her own disheveled reflection in the ss, she suddenly snapped back to reality.
She shouldn’t havee like this.
If Bonnie saw her in such a miserable state, how sad would
she be?
She didn’t dare go in.
She waited until the nurse came out before secretly asking her to buy some clothes.
The corridor was air–conditioned for the summer.
Prisci’s clothes were soaked through. The cold air swept over her, the chill stabbing into her bones like needles.
Under the lights, her face looked deathly pale.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor.
They drew closer and closer.
A shadow fell over Prisci’s vision.
She thought the nurse had returned, so she reached out her hand and said hoarsely, “Give it to me.”
A burning hot palm pressed against hers.
Prisci jerked her hand back as if scalded.

Wesley slowly crouched in front of her, holding her icy hands, his eyes tinged red with guilt.
“Prisci.”
Prisci struggled for a moment before giving up, her gaze calm as she looked at him.
Her pale lips trembled as she softly asked, “Are you here to give me money?”
Wesley’s throat felt dry, his voice hoarse. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things.”
Prisci said nothing. The corridor lights cast a cold<i>, </i>lonely glow on her face.
She just looked at him like that, neither sad nor happy.
The nurse brought over new clothes.
Wesley gently stroked his wife’s pale, cold cheek, coaxing her softly, “Go take a shower and change into some clean clothes. I’lle see you in a bit.”
The nurse hurried to help Prisci up. The ward was fully equipped, just right for a hot shower.
Prisci entered the ward in silence.
Wesley’s expression turned cold as he went to the room across the hall.
Frank was sitting on the sofa, gazing out the window. When he heard the sound, he looked up quietly.

Wesley’s face was expressionless, his voice icy. “Why did you do it?”
Frank stroked the dragon head on his cane, his aged voice betraying no emotion. “You two must get a divorce.”
Before, it was just a matter of wanting a divorce.
Now, it was a must.
Wesley’s breathing grew heavy. He struggled to contain his anger. “You epted her as your granddaughter–inw back then. You know what she’s capable of.”
Frank had no patience for further exnation. He looked at Wesley coldly. “I’m not discussing this with you. I’m informing you.”
