Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 435

AUTHOR'S POV

After Aiden heard those words, he did not think twice before he walked out of the courtroom.

Sharon's heart broke as she watched Aiden storm out. Was he so repelled by her that he couldn't even stand to watch her trial? A tear rolled down her face and she quickly wiped it before her father would see it.

Her father had told her earlier, “Enough, Sharon. Don't cry over men like him.” But that was after he'd scolded her for everything she did.

“Has the verdict been passed, Mr Aiden? Will you bail your wife?”

All of their questions fell of deaf ears, none of them registered, as Aiden raced to his car and drove out of the court premises.

On his way to the hospital, he called his security team who had followed after him the moment he drove out. “Anastasia just escaped the asylum, find her," he instructed them. “I'll send you a picture of her now."

“Alright."

He ended the call. As he drove, he dug up a clear picture of Ana and sent it to the security team who immediately began the search for her.

Then Aiden tried Dennis' line, but he still wasn't picking up.

On arriving at the hospital, he met Dennis outside. He was on a phone call.

"Hey," Aiden rushed to him just as he ended his call. “I heard-

“Yes, yes,” Dennis said impatiently, running his fingers through his hair. “She ran away. I don't know why she'd do that. She was getting better. She was doing very well before I left yesterday.”

Aiden looked at Dennis as he spoke and he couldn't help but think that he sounded and looked like he'd burst into tears any minute from then.

Dennis wiped his palm over his face, “I just sent a security team to begin a search. The hospital is rallying out people and questioning her roommates and colleagues if there was any clue that she wanted to run or where she'd go.”

Aiden nodded, “That's good.” He was glad that they were already taking action. "I also sent out a team on my way here." Then he added, hesitatingly. “I think we should go out in search of her too, as another team.”

“Of course,” Dennis answered without any hesitation. “I wouldn't be here if I wasn't giving the nanny instructions on what to do.”

My ear pricked. “Is something wrong with Justin?”

Dennis shook his head as he began to walk to his car. Aiden pocketed his car key and followed. “I won't exactly say something is wrong with him. It's how he's been for a while now, since Amie's death. He sometimes cries for long minutes until she'd eventually fall asleep. It happened again and the nanny had run out of options on what to do.”

“Oh,” Aiden muttered. He had no words. He was surprised that Dennis knew so much that the nanny could only rely on him to completely get Justin to be quiet.

Dennis unlocked his car and they got in. Just then, his phone rang. He picked up immediately. “How's he now?"

"He's asleep now, sir, thank you,” the nanny said.
