Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 62

“Don’t you know to get someone to follow her if she’s not here?” said Orlando.

“Yes. I’ll do it later,” replied Taylor.

Knowing that Orlando wanted him to assign someone to follow Cassandra, Taylor handled it after sending Orlando back to

Dusmeadow Mansion.

At the same time, Cassandra took the elevator from her office to the parking lot to drive home when three men came out of nowhere and blocked her way just as she was about to arrive at her car.

Cassandra looked at them expressionlessly.

Similarly, the men stared back at Cassandra.

Among them, one with blonde hair said, “Hey, beautiful. Wanna come play with us?”

Cassandra didn’t say anything but looked at him with a frown.

“Oh, so arrogant. I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear?” the man said.

Cassandra pressed her lips together and asked in a low voice, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”

“We’re your friends. We know each other now, don’t we? We’ll let you go if you come and have a drink with us, replied the

man.

I’ve never crossed you. I can give you money if that’s what you want. Can you let me go?” asked Cassandra.

Cassandra negotiated with the men gently. Naturally, she was afraid of such a situation. However, she couldn’t show it, let alone confront them directly. She was prepared to give them money or the car as long as they didn’t hurt her.

Yet, it was apparent the men didn’t want anything. They were there for Cassandra and insisted they would only let her go after she had a drink with them.

The blonde–haired man then said, “Cut the crap. Hurry and come with us. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”

After saying that, the man came up to grab Cassandra’s hand. She stepped back subconsciously and looked around to see if there was anyone she could ask for help.

The man also saw Cassandra’s plan and said, “Boss, is this bitch looking for help? Enough with the talk. Let’s just grab her and report back.”

Cassandra noticed something important from those words. The man’s purpose was only to take her and report back. Thus, someone must have sent them.

Cassandra thought she hadn’t offended anyone or been in such a situation like that before. Thus, who could’ve sent them?

Pursing her lips, Cassandra subconsciously protected her abdomen. Then, she turned around and ran when the three were hesitant. However, how could a woman be a match against one man, let alone three!

Cassandra was caught as soon as she took a step. The blonde–haired man pulled her hair and cursed, “You bitch! Have we been too kind? You’re trying to run?”

Cassandra struggled and begged, “Please let me go. I’ll give you double of what you’re being paid.”

With her hair pulled, Cassandra felt her head numb with pain.

Then, one man said, “Dude, this girl is so pretty. Why don’t we-

“Let’s take her away first, the blonde–haired man interrupted.

The three men dragged Cassandra and were ready to go to their van. All hope would be gone once they got in the vehicle..

Thus, Cassandra knew she must not get in. She kept struggling and inadvertently slapped one of the men in the face. Next, she felt a slap on her cheek.

Slap!

“Bitch, how dare you hit me?” said the man.

Cassandra felt her vision went blurry, and her head was buzzing-

Yet, Cassandra couldn’t care about the pain. She broke free from the man’s hand with all her might and quickly ran toward the parking lot exit.

“Stop!” shouted the three men as they pursued Cassandra.

Cassandra rushed out without bothering to check the road. At that moment, she slipped and fell to the ground.

Cassandra got up from the ground regardless of the pain. The men behind her were getting closer and closer. At that moment, she felt desperate.

Just when Cassandra thought she couldn’t escape, the voice of a security guard in the empty parking lot sounded, “What are

you all doing?”

“Help me! Someone is chasing me, shouted Cassandra.

Seeing that, the three men stopped and looked at each other. Then, they turned around and ran back to their van.

Cassandra was relieved. It was then that she felt something rushing out of her belly. Her head was getting heavier and. heavier, and she slumped to the ground.

“Are you okay, Miss?” asked the security guard.

That was the last thing Cassandra heard before she lost consciousness.

Later, Cassandra woke up in the hospital. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Cassandra opened her eyes and sat up subconsciously, but Nellie immediately pressed her shoulders and said, “Don’t move. You have to rest now.”

“My baby? How’s the baby?” asked Cassandra.

“You’ve suffered too much. There’s threatened miscarriage. You’ll have to stay overnight in the hospital for observation,” replied Nellie.

“The baby’s still here, thought Cassandra.

With that, Cassandra finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cassandra also seemed better as she told Nellie, “Please help me keep this baby.”

Nellie nodded and asked, “What happened?”

Cassandra explained briefly and learned that the security guard brought her to the hospital.

10:24 Wed, 1 Maya

It was almost ten o’clock then, but Cassandra’s phone couldn’t be turned on because it fell to the ground and broke when she struggled earlier. Thus, she took Nellie’s phone to call Dustmeadow Mansion.

Graham answered the call.

“Cassie, why aren’t you back yet?” asked Graham.

Cassandra replied, “Graham, I’m not going home tonight. Tell Orlando for me.”

“You’re not coming back?” Orlando’s deep voice slowly sounded and continued, “Cassandra, you’re a married woman. Are you spending the night with Michael?”

Cassandra pursed her lips and didn’t tell Orlando about the hospitalization. Instead, she said, “I’m accompanying Grandpa Peter at the Quinn manor.

Orlando didn’t say anything to that. Cassandra then hung up the phone and hurriedly called Peter at the Quinn manor to inform him. Naturally, Peter was willing to cooperate. However, she did not tell the

truth to not worry Peter.

Orlando did not believe that Cassandra was at the Quinn manor with Peter. He felt she was only saying that because she didn’t want to go back.

Orlando wondered if it was because Cassandra was angry with Rebecca’s trending topic that day.

Orlando also wondered if Cassandra was jealous.

That night, Cassandra thought a lot in the hospital.

Cassandra thought the person who would do such a thing to her must be someone she knew. After all, the men came straight for her. Thus, the culprit must know Cassandra to a certain degree.

‘So who could it be?’ wondered Cassandra.

A figure flashed through Cassandra’s mind. She couldn’t think of anyone else except that one.

The next morning. Nellie bought Cassandra a new phone and prepared breakfast for her.

After that, the doctor came to examine Cassandra again. There was no more bleeding, but she was still weak. Thus, she needed rest after going home and couldn’t be too emotional,

As Nellie went to handle the discharge, Cassandra made a phone call and said, “Help me look up someone.”

Cassandra then gave a name.

“I want to know all the calls and contacts she made in the past two days. Be quick,” Cassandra added.

–

“Okay, I’ll look into it right away. But Cassie, why haven’t I heard from you for so long? When will you be back?” asked the person on the phone.

“Guess!” Cassandra responded lightly with a cold face. Calmly, she continued, “I will check whether you’ve been slacking recently when I return. You know the consequences.”

The person on the phone was rendered speechless and didn’t dare to say another word.

In less than five minutes, there was a reply.

Hearing the orderly reply, Cassandra’s face was cold and gloomy.

Ħ

The moment she hung up the phone, Cassandra clenched the phone with an icy gaze.

Half an hour later, Nellie brought Cassandra out of the hospital. She wanted to take Cassandra to Dustmeadow Mansion, but the latter said. “I want to go to Rebecca’s studio.”

Rebecca had started a stúdio before her comeback, and she had been staying in the studio lately to prepare new songs.

When Cassandra arrived, Rebecca was just about to go out to meet the investors. Rebecca’s face froze slightly when the two met at the door. However, Rebecca quickly returned to her senses and asked, “Cassandra, why are you here?”
