Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 644

She signed her name, barely aware of what she was doing, then slumped over Wilson, her words thick with guilt. “I’m sorry, Wilson. I tried... I really tried. I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you.”

“I swear I’ll find out who did this. I’ll make them pay for what they did to you.”

“Wilson, please... say something.”

Wilson just stared at the ceiling, his face completely empty, lost in hopelessness. He didn’t move or react at all.

What was he supposed to say?

All he could think about was who would want to hurt him this badly. Why him? Why now?

He just couldn’t understand it. How had he ended up like this, with only one good hand? What would he do now, going through life half broken? What kind of future could he possibly have?

Wilson was done. He closed his eyes, turned away from Bronwen, and shut down completely. He didn’t want to talk anymore.

Bronwen could only stand there and watch as they wheeled Wilson into surgery. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart, but there was nothing she could do.

The police...

Yes. She needed the police!

She hurried over to the officers who had questioned her earlier. “Please, you have to find whoever did this to my husband! Someone targeted him on purpose. Why else would they do something so cruel? Please, you have to catch them. We won’t let this go.”

The officers exchanged a glance, then one of them shook his head. “I’m sorry. The building you live in is pretty old, and there aren’t many cameras around.”

“We did catch a shadowy figure on one camera, but it’s just a shape. Nothing else.”

“We don’t have any other leads right now.”

“It would help if your husband had seen the attacker’s face or noticed anything specific, but he couldn’t give us any details.”

“We might have to start by looking into anyone your husband’s had trouble with.”

“Do you know what he’s been involved in lately?”

“Do you have any idea why someone would go after his right hand, or who might want to hurt him like this?”

The string of bad news almost knocked Bronwen off her feet. She had to force herself to stay upright, replaying every word from the police in her mind.

A hand...

His hand.

Suddenly, she remembered the photo she’d seen earlier that night.

No. It couldn’t be.

Wiona? How could it be Wiona? She’d only just accepted Wilson as her father. She’d never do something so horrible.

But still... Bronwen’s thoughts kept circling back to Wiona. It couldn’t just be a coincidence, could it?

“I’ll take some time to think about it,” she managed.

Hawthorne Hall.

Wiona had just come back from checking on the twins. She sank into the sofa, thinking about her meeting with Tatum earlier that day, then stood and went to her cabinet. She pulled out the pendant and stared at it for a long while.
