Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Lost Contact

While organizing the documents, I kept calling Jude, but eventually his phone was turned off

A sinking feeling hit me. I asked Veronics, and she said Jude had probbly gone home to get some Mes. So i nished back to the apartment

Lcalled out, “Jude, are you home? Juder

The lights were off, and there was no sign that anyone had been around.

But when I saw footprints in the living room, I was sure Jude had come back.

I hurried into the bedroom. Jude was lying on the bed, unconscious. No matter how I shook him, he wouldn’t wake up

I placed my fingers on his wrist to check his pulse. Thankfully, there was still one. Only then did I let out a breath of relief With the crisis at Carson Group, something just didn’t feel right. If something happened to him now, the whole company could collapse.

I immediately called an ambulance, then contacted the property management.

I explained, “I’m Jude’s wife. He was attacked in the community and is unconscious. I want all the surveillance footage

now!

“The woman he brought home is highly suspicious. If you dare to cover this up, be prepared to go to jail with her

This was the first time I ever used my status as Mrs. Carson to threaten someone. The person on the other end froze, then quickly apologized and said they’d start pulling the footage right away.

Honestly, I didn’t know exactly why Jude had passed out, but there was a faint scent of perfume on him. It was very similar to Vivian’s. It was one of my favorite perfumes, and she had been wearing it when I saw her earlier.

When the medics arrived, I followed them into the ambulance.

After the doctor examined him, they confirmed that Jude had taken a large amount of sleeping pills.

The doctor looked at me with concern. “Mrs. Carson, I heard about what’s going on with your company. It’s possible your husband was overwhelmed…”

I stopped him. “No. That’s impossible. He’s not that kind of person.”

I firmly denied the doctor’s assumption. Jude was never weak. He had always been a man of responsibility

If something happened at the construction site, he’d face it, take care of the victim’s family, and get to the bottom of it. I believed he would never commit suicide.

The doctor nodded and handed me a consent form.

He said, “He needs gastric lavage right now. There might be other procedures involved. We need your signature.”

My hand trembled slightly as I held the pen. I took a deep breath to steady myself.

I knew what Jude meant to the Carson family, and I also knew I couldn’t let him die in front of me.

Aside from our marriage certificate, this was the first time I had ever signed anything as his wife. I subconsciously touched

the ring finger on my left hand. It was already bare. My heart tightened with a dull ache.

When Casey called, the building staff had just finished copying the surveillance footage for her. Sure enough, the footage showed Vivian entering the apartment with Jude, and an hour later, leaving alone.

Casey asked, “Ada, do you want to call the police about this? What exactly did you ask me to look for?”

I replied, “The internal monitor in the jewelry cabinet. It automatically turns on whenever someone opens it.”

It was originally installed by Veronica to keep an eye on me, but now it might be the key evidence.

Casey followed my instructions and opened the cabinet, but the monitor had already been destroyed.

She said, “This isn’t good. The camera’s broken, and the memory card is missing too.”

That was when I realized a huge problem. I immediately told Casey not to touch the monitor anymore.

If this was Vivian’s doing, she probably already knew about the hidden camera from her past visits. She could’ve come prepared.

She might’ve even worn gloves to avoid leaving any Angerprints

Casey asked, “Ada, do you really think Vivian di Successfully unlocked! She definitely came over.”

If I could think of it, Casey could too. I told her to change the passcode to my apartment immediately and then head home. Meanwhile, Jude had finished the gastric lavage, though he still hadn’t regained consciousness.

The doctor said he might’ve taken other sedatives as well, so he wouldn’t wake up right away, and further testing was

needed.

Once they confirmed his vital signs were stable, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could wake up, as long as he was alive, everything else could be managed.
