HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 956

"Yeah, Daven."

He stood up and took a few steps away from the bed, but Lydia could still clearly see her husband's face from where she lay.

For the first few seconds, Cale only listened. His expression remained calm, his gaze still unreadable. But gradually... the sharp lines on his face began to harden.

"What?" His voice dropped lower. "When did it happen?"

The room fell silent once more.

The only sound was Daven's voice coming through the phone, though his words weren't clear enough for Lydia to make out.

Slowly, the fingers wrapped around Cale's phone began to tighten. "Falcon?"

He repeated the name quietly, as though making sure he hadn't misheard.

Several seconds passed. The expression on Cale's face grew increasingly troubled. His hand clenched into a tight fist, and his jaw hardened.

"No." The whisper escaped his lips.

Lydia could see Cale's knuckles gradually turning white as his grip on the phone tightened.

"Has the doctor treated him?"

...

"What about Chris?"

...

"And Brandon?"

...

The longer the conversation went on, the more color drained from Cale's face. The relief that had filled his eyes just moments ago was now replaced by a deep darkness. His shoulders tensed slightly, and his breathing grew heavier, as though every answer Daven gave added another weight to his chest.

Without realizing it, Lydia found herself holding her breath as well. A growing sense of unease slowly crept into her heart. She still didn't know what they were talking about.

But she knew Cale. She knew him very well. And she knew he would only wear that expression when something truly terrible had happened.

Cale closed his eyes for a moment. "Okay." His voice was heavy. "I'll be there right away."
