Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 749

Back at Pleca Park, I was almost asleep when a call from Adrian woke me up. I looked at the time. It was one past midnight, so this had to be urgent.

I quickly answered the phone, and Adrian, sounding uneasy, informed me, "Ms. Chloe, Matthew has attempted suicide in the detention center."

"What?" I exclaimed. "What's going on?"

"He’s been taken to the hospital for treatment. I'm on my way there now. You..." his tone was probing.

"Alright, I'm coming over immediately. Which hospital?" I asked while getting out of bed. I felt a slight tremor. Atlas was still in the study.

Adrian told me the name of the hospital over the phone, and I quickly hung up, rushing to the dressing room to grab a dress. After putting it on and tidying my hair hastily, I walked out of the room, knocking lightly on the study door. I pushed it open without waiting for a response.

Atlas was still on an international video call. He sensed that something was wrong when he saw me all dressed and ready to go. He ended the call, walked toward me, and asked, "What's happened?"

"I need to go to the hospital. Matthew attempted suicide in the detention center!" My tone was unsettled, and my legs felt shaky.

After all, he had been a part of my life for almost ten years. I no longer had any feelings for him, but I couldn't help but feel anxious since his life was under threat. At the very least, I didn't want him to die just so Ava would have her biological father around.

"I'll go with you," he said. He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me out of the study.

I felt relieved. I knew Atlas would be by my side no matter what happened.

I explained briefly while we got into the car. Atlas didn't alert anyone else. He drove the car himself, and we left the villa through the main entrance.

In the car, I clenched my fist tightly, feeling a mix of frustration and anger. Matthew was giving up at a crucial moment. If anything happened to him, all our efforts to help him would be in vain.

And I would not know how to explain things to Ava if he really did die.

He was a coward for trying to take the easy way out.
