Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 645

Chapter 645

She cleared her throat and finally began repeating the words she had carefully prepared.

“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you; it’s just that I didn’t know how to start.”

Grace immediately sat up straighter, her back rigid, and her tone now tight with barely restrained frustration.

What was wrong with Tessa?

All this time and still not a single coherent sentence?

Grace had completely run out of patience. “If you’re not going to speak, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, Mom!”

Tessa quickly jumped in, watching her timing.

“Mom, I was so worried about Aurora, and I didn’t know what else to do. That’s why I slipped out and came overseas without telling anyone.”

Grace latched onto the inconsistency in her words. “And how exactly did you know what country she’s in?”

Tessa’s heart skipped a beat.

Of course, Grace would catch that.

She was sharp as ever, quick to pick up the flaw, and even quicker to throw it back.

But Tessa didn’t panic.

She shifted gears smoothly.

“Mom, with how fast information and travel work these days, if I really want to find someone, I can. You know that.

“Fine. So, what you’re saying is–you know Aurora’s current condition, right?”

That was all she cared about now.

If Megan knew about this, she wouldn’t hesitate to confront Grace

Why should she be the one forced to make all the sacrifices?

And if Grace had truly failed her–who would step in to make it right?

Thankfully, Megan didn’t know.

Because if she did, there was no way she’d be standing on Grace’s side.

At that moment, Megan was still caught in her own internal struggle, unsure how to even begin explaining Aurora’s condition to Grace.

It wasn’t just bad, it was frightening.

They’d come all the way overseas, and Aurora still hadn’t woken up.

Megan was genuinely terrified of what that might mean.

Meanwhile, Tessa was still on the phone, relaying the fact that Aurora remained unconscious.

“So that punk Lucas wouldn’t let you see her?” Grace asked.

Tessa nodded. “Exactly. And Mom, I can’t shake the feeling that my brother–in–law is hiding something from us, including Aurora.”

That caught Grace’s attention. “And how did you know about this?
