My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 68

Sandra’s eyes widened in surprise, a flicker of hope igniting within her. He did still care.

She maintained her sorrowful expression. “If I don’t marry him… I don’t know what else to do.”

She lowered her head, and a single tear fell onto the table. She sniffled, wiping it away with the back of her hand. Just as she was about to continue her performance, the door swung open.

Hannah noticed Sandra’s tear-streaked face but didn’t comment. She sat down, picked up her phone, and casually stopped the recording that had been running.

A notification popped up on her screen.

Yves: [They caught the kidnappers. One of them confessed that a woman named Zona hired them. But it seems Zona was just a middleman; she doesn’t know who was really behind it.]

Zona.

Hannah’s blood ran cold. It couldn’t be a coincidence. Lionel’s mother had a maid named Zona. The same woman who had urged them to have children at the dinner table had then arranged for her to be kidnapped and assaulted. What was she trying to do?

Hannah knew Mary disliked her, but this was beyond anything she could have imagined. And the kidnapping… its purpose was to lure Lionel out.

Could it be? Was Mary targeting her own son?

The thought made Hannah’s breath catch in her throat.

“Hannah, what’s wrong? You look pale,” Sandra asked, her voice still thick with emotion. “Are you feeling alright? Maybe Lionel should take you to the hospital.”

Hannah put down her phone and turned to Lionel. “Mr. Lancaster said they found the kidnappers.”

Lionel nodded. “I know.”

He knew, but he hadn’t told her. Was it because of Zona? If Yves hadn’t told her, would he have kept it a secret forever?
