After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1197
"Make sure you offer our support," Stephanie urged. "If our families unite, Barbara will be fine."
"Since it's the weekend, the banks are closed. Ask them if they're short on cash. We have plenty of liquid assets we can send over immediately."
Ethan nodded and waited for the call to connect. Once Harold answered, he quickly relayed his grandmother's message, explaining that Jeremy was already deploying resources and offering to pool together any cash they needed.
"Thank you, Ethan," Harold's voice was tight with stress. "We're still pulling the funds together, but the kidnappers haven't called back yet. I'm actually heading to the Eastside Suburbs right now. That's where we traced their last call."
Once they pinpointed the location, the family and the police had immediately mobilized. There was no way the kidnappers could vanish instantly. The prolonged silence likely meant they were scrambling to relocate.
He could only pray they got to Barbara in time.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Let me know the second you need the money, I'll have my family wire it instantly."
"Thank you. I'll reach out if we need it."
Harold didn't bother asking how Ethan found out. The Adams family's intelligence network was legendary. Keeping a secret from the public was easy; hiding it from Cabinda's elite was impossible.
They knew everything.
Harold was incredibly grateful for Stephanie's swift intervention.
Ethan had barely been out of the hospital for a few days, so Harold didn't expect him to physically join the hunt. The phone call alone was enough to earn his gratitude.
"Be careful out there," Ethan warned, his voice heavy. "These people have nothing to lose."
His mind flashed back to the horrifying ambush he and Isabella had barely survived six months ago.
He had been fighting for his life, terrified he was going to lose her. She had been brutally injured and hospitalized.
He had truly thought she was going to die.
And when she finally woke up, the first words out of her mouth had been a demand for a divorce.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
