Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 49

“Landy, I only have you. If you don’t want me anymore, I might as well die,” said Rebecca.

Rebecca’s tone turned softer as she said.

Ultimately, she hung up the phone without waiting for Orlando’s response and drove away from Dustmeadow Mansion, wanting to go to the Quinn manor and get an explanation for getting such a treatment.

Orlando assumed that Rebecca couldn’t accept what he said, so he planned to explain to her after returning to Dustmeadow Mansion at night.

However. Rebecca never came back.

Orlando contacted her but didn’t receive an answer. He then called Sophia, who only informed him she hadn’t met Rebecca.

He suddenly couldn’t get in touch with Rebecca. With the weather in Broburgh nowadays being bad, it was raining heavily at

that moment.

It was already past ten o’clock at night.

Orlando frowned slightly with indifference. Finally, he called Taylor and ordered, “Check the surveillance cameras and find out where Rebecca went from Dustmeadow Mansion today.”

“Noted. Will check it right away, Taylor responded immediately.

He then informed Orlando of the results about half an hour later.

Rebecca had wandered around with her car after leaving Dustmeadow Mansion. When the night came, she went to have a drink and then recklessly drove towards the Quinn manor but took the wrong intersection halfway. Since there were no surveillance cameras on the rest of the way, her whereabouts became unknown.

The rain was getting heavier. Orlando frowned and told Taylor, “Look for her immediately. Call the police for assistance,

too.”

“Noted,” Taylor responded.

After ending the conversation, Orlando entered the bedroom.

Cassandra had just come out of the shower. When their eyes met, Orlando said calmly, “Rebecca’s missing.”

Cassandra didn’t respond.

Orlando looked sullen and whispered, ‘Cassandra, don’t you think you shouldn’t tell her that today? I can tell her myself.”

Cassandra looked at Orlando and replied, “I don’t think I said anything wrong. You’re blaming me for making Rebecca disappear?

Cassandra didn’t think she was wrong as Rebecca provoked her first.

Orlando said, “I don’t mean to blame you. I just want you to understand that if you didn’t tell Rebecca, she might not have gone missing on the way to the Quinn manor by now.”

After that, he picked up a coat and left after glancing at Cassandra.

Cassandra stood before the window and watched Orlando drive into the rain and leave Dustmeadow Mansion.

Orlando drove alone to meet Taylor. The car was speeding fast in the night, with the rain getting heavier and lightning struck.

The lightning could be seen clearly through the window, and the deafening sound of thunder made Cassandra’s heart. pound.

Rebecca went missing on the way to the Quinn manor and lost contact with Orlando. Although Cassandra didn’t like Rebecca, she didn’t wish for her to get lost in remote places and heavy downpours.

At the thought of Orlando’s indifferent yet cold expression when he mentioned Cassandra telling Rebecca about them not getting a divorce, Cassandra could still feel Orlando’s displeasure even though his tone was no different from usual.

Orlando didn’t get mad, probably considering Cassandra had just been discharged and was still recovering-

Yet, the more Cassandra, thought about it, the more upset she felt. For Rebecca’s sake, Orlando risked himself to find her in the rain, so Cassandra assumed he must love Rebecca very much..

He must love her more than he imagined, Cassandra thought with a bitter smile.

The rain seemed to get heavier with a bolt of lightning struck fiercely in the sky.

Cassandra pursed her lips and felt a little uneasy.

Sometime later, she was awakened from her sleep by her phone ringing.

After checking that it was an unfamiliar number, she immediately answered the call with a quickened heartbeat, “Hello?”

The caller said. “Mrs. Quinn, it’s me. Can you come to the hospital now? Mr. Quinn had a car accident and is now in the operating room…”

The call was from Taylor.

Cassandra’s mind went blank, and she didn’t listen to the rest of the conversation. Her face turned numbly indifferent, with. her body completely frozen.

She asked in a trembling voice, “What happened?”

“Mr. Quinn had a car accident on the road… Taylor said.

The phone fell from Cassandra’s sudden–loosened hand. She immediately sat up with her eyes trembling slightly. Her voice sounded wavered as she said, “Okay… I’ll be right there…”

Cassandra changed her clothes and went downstairs speedily. It was already three o’clock in the morning, with rain pouring outside. All of Cassandra’s thoughts had gone to Orlando’s car accident and him being treated.

She didn’t alert others and drove to the hospital. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Along the way, she could only pray that Orlando would be fine, feeling her heartbeat thump heavily.

Standing outside the operating room an hour later, Cassandra looked pale while staring at the opened door with a hollow gaze. When the nurses and doctors pushed the surgical cart out, Cassandra immediately approached and asked hoarsely,

“How is he?”

A doctor replied, “The patient’s condition turned stable after the emergency treatment. No life– threatening injuries were found, but there is a fracture on his leg and multiple abrasions on his body. We’ll have to wait until he wakes up to know

more.

Hearing the answer, Cassandra finally felt at ease..

However, she felt weak and subconsciously sank to the floor. Taylor immediately helped her up and asked, “Mrs. Quinn, are you okay?”

I’m fine. Take Orlando back to the ward first,” replied Cassandra.

Taylor had already completed the check–in procedures and arranged for Orlando to stay in an independent VIP ward.

The doctor and turses left after giving some advice.

Looking at Orlando with wounds on his face, Cassandra felt an indescribable feeling surge in her heart.

She knew that Orlando’s injuries had nothing to do with her, and he did it for the most important woman in his heart.

Cassandra found it ridiculous.

She pursed her lips tightly and felt heartbroken.

Taylor noticed Cassandra’s gloomy face and was well aware of the reason Orlando caused himself into such a state.

He walked to Cassandra and whispered, “Mrs. Quinn, don’t worry. Mr. Quinn will be fine.”

I hope so.” Cassandra responded lightly. With the atmosphere turning silent, Taylor didn’t know what to say anymore.

The effect of the anesthetic on Orlando would not pass until dawn. Cassandra sat down beside the bed without getting sleep. During the wait, Taylor poured Cassandra a glass of water and reminded her to rest on the couch, but the latter refused.

With her heart in turmoil, Cassandra couldn’t sleep at all.

Orlando had said they would not divorce for the time being, but the next second, he got hospitalized from a car accident for his loved one. If Cassandra could have a choice, she would rather get a divorce.

After some time, the rain slowly stopped, and the sky gradually turned bright.

Taylor bought breakfast and said, “Mrs. Quinn, you should eat something.”

“No thanks. I’ll eat after going back, Cassandra replied as she glanced at Orlando. The anesthetic’s effect should be over soon, but she didn’t intend to face Orlando at this moment because she did not know what to tell him.

Cassandra looked at Taylor and asked, “Where’s Rebecca?”
