Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 976

As soon as we got to that point, I remembered what happened back then.

"When she left, she came to say goodbye to me in a rush, mentioning an urgent matter in her hometown. I remember asking her, 'What's the matter? Why the rush?' but she didn't give me a clear answer and left in a hurry."

Thinking about it now, I regretted being so careless. But even if I had known something back then, what could I have done?

I continued, "Then everyone went to their internships, and Beatrice never returned. We only had occasional phone calls. At that time, I was busy with starting a business, dealing with Matthew, and the daily hustle of the building materials business. I didn’t have time to contact her."

As I spoke, the bitterness in my heart intensified. If I had known she was in trouble, I would have helped her, even if I wasn’t that important back then.

"I didn’t think anything would go wrong since she was back in her hometown with her parents, so I neglected her. I didn’t know about her father. She even did her thesis in a hurry. We only met once during the graduation photoshoot, exchanged a few words, and she disappeared.

"I thought about having a celebratory party together since we graduated, but she was already gone. I called her urgently, asking where she was. She said she was already on the bus. I had to ask her when she would return to Foswood for a proper gathering. After all, we had just graduated, and she had left in such a rush.

"She said she wasn't sure, and she would come see me after dealing with her family. But she never showed up. When I paused the business due to my pregnancy and tried to contact her, her phone was already out of service."

I vividly recalled that time.

Grayson snapped his fingers. "That's it! The timeline matches up. She returned to her hometown because her mother suddenly fell ill. She was reportedly in a coma, and Beatrice had to take care of her."

He finished his meal, grabbed a tissue, and said, "Oh, that was delicious."

Then he continued, "At that time, she had a boyfriend, a high school classmate. He had graduated from college and returned to Gerby. Apparently, they had a good relationship, but… But now, he's Hazelyn's husband."
