The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 607
Mars's words carried clearly through the phone. Isabel's voice came through again, this time laced with sharp mockery. "So your little bastard child has been snatched and brought to Mitaly?""None of your concern."Francesco hung up directly. If it wasn't the Este family, there was no point continuing the conversation.Mars hesitated. "Sir, why not ask Madam Isabel for help?""She wouldn't help. If anything, she'd use this to pour fuel on the fire."Francesco didn't want to talk about his mother any further. "What else did Sophia say?""She found that some underground faction in Heatherton City has deep ties to that syndicate. Here's the information on the leader—his main businesses are loan-sharking and underground gambling."Gambling?Those two words triggered a name in Francesco's mind. He pushed the door open, strode over to the other car, and knocked hard on Chris's window."Where is Anna?"Chris froze. Caught off guard, it suddenly hit him—he hadn't been in contact wi

Before Adriana could respond, a sharp, piercing cry from Maeve cut through the line—like a needle driven straight into her eardrum.Adriana's eardrums stung, and her heart seized in her chest."I'm coming right now. Don't you dare touch my daughter!"Her hands fumbled for the door handle, trembling so badly that it took her two tries to push it open.Chris grabbed her wrist. "I'm going with you."Adriana pulled free. "No. Don't do anything."Before stepping out, she turned back to Francesco, her voice strained and raw. "If something happens to me, please raise the two children. Protect them.""I won't let anything happen to you."Francesco got out of the car with her, his warm hand steadying her shoulder. "I'm contacting my mom right now. If it's really them, I'll trade myself for Maeve. Trust me."Adriana looked up and met his calm blue eyes. She saw his resolve. For some reason, she felt a trace of calm settle over her. She nodded, her voice hoarse. "If they're after me, use

A text message came through immediately, listing twenty overseas accounts.Chris forwarded the accounts to his assistant and told him to look into them. Adriana quickly tallied up all her available liquid assets—after pouring so much into the startup, she only had around four million on hand. And even with Chris's help, they still couldn't scrape together the remaining money."I'll call Alex and see if he can help us gather the rest," Chris said.Adriana wasn't sure if Alex could come up with that much either. She thought for a moment, bit her lip, and pulled Francesco out of her blocklist, then dialed.He answered immediately, his voice bright with surprise. "Adriana, you've finally shown me some mercy."Adriana had no time for pleasantries. Her voice was taut with panic. "Maeve's been kidnapped. They're demanding twenty million dollars, or they'll kill her."There was a beat of silence. When Francesco spoke again, his tone had dropped to something cold and heavy. "Where are you

"Call off the police and the drones. Or you can say goodbye to your daughter."The voice on the other end was distorted by a synthesizer—a deep, mechanical tone. All she could tell was that it was a man.Adriana's grip on the phone tightened, her knuckles white. "I'll pull them back right now! Just don't hurt my daughter. I'll give you anything you want.""Pull them back first," the kidnapper cut in coldly.Adriana opened her mouth to ask more, but the line had already gone dead.Chris had heard every word clearly. Before she could even speak, he was already on the phone with Alex. "Pull all police and drones back. No lingering in the area, no unnecessary moves."Alex responded immediately, "Got it. I'll make the call."Chris hung up and pulled the car over to the side of the road at the entrance of the alley. He turned to her, lowering his voice. "Adriana, let's wait here for now. We don't want to spook them."Adriana nodded weakly, slumping back into the leather seat, one han

"Adriana, I've pulled surveillance footage from the hospital and nearby streets. The footage shows that person carrying Maeve into an unlicensed van."Adriana pressed one hand against the cold wall, her voice trembling uncontrollably. "Where did the van go?""After leaving the main road, it turned into a side street outside the camera coverage. That road leads to a few abandoned factories and the outskirts of the city. I've already called the police and contacted friends—they're searching now.""What if they hurt her…"Adriana slid slowly down the wall, crouching low, her hands clutching her head. What did the kidnappers want? Was this revenge for Joan? Or had the Este family hired someone?She tried to think, to piece it together, until her temples throbbed with pain—but nothing came together. All she knew was that in either case, Maeve was in grave danger.She pulled out her phone and stared at the screen, her eyes red-rimmed and burning. The kidnappers had taken Maeve—they mus

Adriana returned home and washed off the day's exhaustion before heading to the nursery to check on Milo and Maeve. Under the soft glow of the nightlight, the two children were bundled in their own blankets, breathing softly, fast asleep. She gently pulled the door closed and went to her room. Just as she lay down, her phone screen lit up with a message from Max.She couldn't be bothered to open it. She set the phone aside, turned off the light, and went to sleep. Max was always sending some lukewarm greetings and concern—it wasn't worth the time to reply when she could be sleeping instead. If it weren't for Bella and Nicholas's relationship, she'd have already spelled things out and blocked him everywhere. She never should have added him as a contact in the first place.Fortunately, Max didn't send any more messages over the next few days. That unread, unreplied message was long forgotten in her inbox, never opened again.As the last dried leaf spiraled down from the branches, wint

Grandma Rosie had once told Adriana she dreamed of Adriana's parents, Roger and Samantha, imploring her to take care of Adriana. To be entrusted is to be faithful. Adriana's sense of responsibility toward Chris likely stemmed from the influence of Grandma Rosie throughout her childhood.She crouc

"What do you think?"Joan let out a haughty snort, stepping back half a pace—right onto his polished leather shoes."When we were abroad, we could still meet often. But now that we're back, it's nearly impossible to see each other."Dean's usual calm, composed demeanor shifted; a playful, almost

In the blink of an eye, the day of Grandma Rosie's memorial arrived. Adriana got to the cemetery early, confirming the arrangements with the staff.Dew clung to the grass beside the graves, soaking her pant legs as she walked. She settled on a bench to dry off, lifting her gaze to a sea of headston

Of course it wasn't fine. Even a man who kept a mistress wouldn't bring her to an occasion this respectable.Chris was a well-known figure in their circle, and Joan came from a good family herself. Back then, the prospect of a marriage alliance between the Slater and Hill families had been common k
