From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 229

To this day, he couldn't get the image of that night out of his head.

He'd told Jade how serious the situation was, yet here she was, tangling with Lyndon's right-hand man. Was she really still trying to frame Amara?

Hudson's chest tightened as he gripped the file.

And here he was, worried sick about her.

He'd been afraid she was hurt. He thought she'd run to Habor City because she was upset about him bailing Amara out, and he'd rushed here like an idiot to explain himself.

It turns out it was all just another one of her games to hurt Amara!

"Unbelievable. Just unbelievable."

Hudson's face was a mask of cold fury as he threw the file into the trash.

"Book us a flight back to Kingston. Now."

Kevin was stunned. "Sir? You're not going to keep looking for her?"

"Why bother?"

Hudson's voice was like ice.

"She's clearly doing just fine. I'm the fool for thinking she cared enough for me to deserve an explanation."

Kevin didn't dare say another word. He booked the flight.

Jade woke up in a high-end private hospital.

She stared at the ceiling for a long time, her mind a blank slate until the fog slowly started to lift.

The blue eyes. She remembered the blue eyes from the wreckage.

"Nurse? Nurse!"

A nurse hurried into the room.

"Ms. Merchant, you're awake. How can I help you?"

Jade looked at her, confused. "How do you know my name?"

She looked toward the door. "Did the man who brought me in tell you?"

The nurse hesitated for a second before nodding.

"Yes."

"Who is he?" Jade asked, her voice urgent.

"Can you ask him to come see me? I need to thank him in person!"

The nurse gave a regretful shake of her head. "I'm sorry, Ms. Merchant. I can't do that."

Jade's shoulders slumped in disappointment. She tried one last time.

"You must know who he is. Can you at least tell me his name?"
