Billionaire's Betrayal: My Ex Beg Me To Love Him Again novel Chapter 58

Chapter 0058 

Caroline’s POV: 

While I was thrilled to finally have my dad back in my care, I was tragically stuck with the question of who had tried to hurt him in the first place. 

The obvious answer was William, but during our heated encounters, he seemed just as clueless as I was at times. At this point, I could do nothing but clear him of the charge. If not him, then who? Everything was such a mess and I was so tired of this wild goose chase. 

In the end, not a single person popped in my mind who I thought could take my father’s life. If I wanted to solve this perplexing mystery, I was going to need some more help from a friend. 

Picking up my phone, I found Martin’s number and hovered my thumb over the call button, hesitating. He was the only soul I could think of who could save me in my time of need, but when I actually thought about pleading for him to help, I felt guilty. 

It was selfish of me to keep coming back to him again and again for help. The only thing he had ever asked for in return was my love, and my heart was too broken to even give him that. I felt awful about how I kept dragging him into my problems, but I had no choice. 

Martin speedily picked up only seconds after I called. “Hey, Caroline! What can I do for you?” 

I swallowed my shame before I spoke. “Hey, Martin…‘ 

“” 

He must have heard the embarrassment in my voice, because soon he said, “Hey, is everything alright? What happened?” 

Squeezing my eyes shut, I said, “I need your help. I’m so sorry.” 

“Hey, don’t apologize,” he said softly. “You’re never troubling me by asking for my help. We’re friends, remember? You’re not a burden on me, alright?” 

A shaky smile crossed over my face. “Thank you, Martin,” I whispered. “You’re a true friend.” 

“Don’t mention it,” he chuckled. “So, what’s the problem?” 

I gave him a lengthy rundown of my dad’s situation and how I had no cue who could have hurt him. Martin sounded distressed throughout the story, as if hearing my plight was truly getting to him. 

“Are the police involved?” he asked first. 

“Yes, but they’re not going fast enough,” I told him. “At any moment, the person who hurt my father could come back to finish the job. They say they’ll keep an eye on my father and keep him safe, but after what happened when he was in William’s custody, I don’t know if I can trust that. I know I’m asking a lot, but I don’t know who else to turn to. I’ll repay you whenever I can.” 

I could hear Martin’s sturdy denial before it even left his lips. “Like I said, don’t worry about

paying me back. We’re friends, remember? Anyway, I have someone who may be able to help you. They’re good at this sort of thing. I’ll give you their contact information.” 

I swiftly got in contact with Martin’s friend, who was more than happy to help me with my plight. After an hour or so, they sent me a picture and a strange video, along with the message, “These look interesting.” 

The first thing I diligently inspected was the video. It was a curious surveillance video of Sophia having lunch with a strange man I didn’t recognize. He was tall, strong, and had a shaved head. From what I remember of the recovered footage from the sanatorium cameras, he vaguely resembled the grainy image of the man who walked out of my father’s hospital
