After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 425

Meanwhile.

After leaving the hospital, Noah rushed back to the club at top speed.

He called Louisa’s phone–no answer.

Called Sadie’s phone–no answer.

Finally, he tried Rachel and Flora’s phones–neither answered.

Frantic, he reached the garden and quickly searched the entire area. No trace of Louisa and her group.

He ran to the ballroom and searched every inch, nearly ready to tear the entire club apart. Still no one.

Just as he was panicking, Louisa sent him a message: [We’re already home.]

A perfectly ordinary sentence that seemed completely fine.

But Noah had this intuition that Louisa seemed angry.

He immediately called her.

Louisa answered.

Noah anxiously explained, “Ms. Forbes, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t know Mrs. Adeline Tudor had also gone to the party. When she came out, she fell into a pond, so Mr. Tudor and I took her to the hospital first. After we got to the hospital, Mr. Tudor told me to rush back and pick you up. He kept insisting I make sure to get you all home safely. I just searched the ballroom and called all of you, but

none of you answered.”

That last sentence carried a somewhat pitiful tone.

Louisa showed no emotional fluctuation. She even laughed a little and consoled him, ‘Everyone was probably just tired. Thank you for

taking the time to explain.”

Only then did Noah relax. Louisa understood his difficult position, wasn’t angry, and had even comforted him.

He happily ended the call.

Louisa lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

If Noah hadn’t made that call, she wouldn’t have known that Julian had also gone to the club.

But clearly, Julian hadn’t gone for her.

:

Well, of course–his mother was there. Naturally, he’d rescue his mother first.

Only human nature.

She could understand that.

Julian hadn’t done anything wrong.

But the more she thought this way, the worse she felt.

Especially when she thought of that message she’d sent Julian, she felt deep regret.

That message, sent at that moment, had inadvertently posed him with an impossible dilemma: if your girlfriend and your mother both fell

into the water, who would you save first?

Louisa smiled bitterly, then showered and went to bed.

The next day, she woke up on time.

She’d been thinking that with Julian’s mother hospitalized, his business trip would probably be canceled.

She wanted to ask him to confirm.

But when she was about to dial, she hesitated. Instead of calling Julian, she called Teddy directly.

Teddy told her they were about to leave the hospital and head back. Plans unchanged.

At the hospital,

Teddy finished Louisa’s call and returned to the room from outside.

Julian gave him a cool glance.

Teddy immediately understood, nodding repeatedly to convey: yes, it was from Louisa.

Thinking of Louisa, Julian’s face showed a soft smile.

Strange–just thinking of her seemed to make even the strongest fatigue disappear.

Especially thinking about how he hadn’t personally picked her up yesterday made him feel guilty all night.

Chapter 425

Fortunately, Noah had safely taken her home.

He said to William, “Dad, you stay here with Mom. I’m heading back.”

Adeline, now awake, heard her son was leaving and called out weakly, “Julian…”

Last night she’d experienced terror like never before, then fallen into a pond. She’d had nightmare after nightmare all night, barely

sleeping at all.

Julian and William had kept vigil in her hospital room all night.

The doctor said she was fine–no serious injuries aside from some minor scrapes.

Having fallen into the pond, she’d struggled desperately and been cut by the plants there, which caused the wounds.

Julian knew Adeline had always been timid. When she’d fallen into the pond, he’d prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, his mother’s will to survive was strong.

William was heartbroken.

His wife hadn’t suffered a scratch in decades, and now a simple party had resulted in this.

He furiously cursed the party organizers, even wanting to flay Xanthe alive and make the Boleyn family disappear from Silverlight City.

Julian wanted to say, Put away the mob boss rhetoric and stop crying already.

A timid mother and a crybaby father…

His life wasn’t easy.

Now Adeline had finally regained consciousness, and the first person she called wasn’t her husband but her son.

This made William a bit unhappy. He immediately leaned over and said to Adeline, “Honey, I’m right here. Are you uncomfortable?”

Adeline swatted his face away with her hand. “Go away, I need to talk to my son.”

William was dejected. Why did she need to talk to their son?

What about him?

Didn’t she see he was right here, too?
