The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 680

**TITLE: My Wife 680 – The Lucky Charm’s Secret**

**Chapter 680**

Victor stood frozen, his mind racing yet paralyzed by the weight of the revelation. The words hung in the air like a heavy fog, and he struggled to comprehend their implications. Stammering, he finally managed to utter, “I found that lucky charm in my pocket the day after I was drugged. It should belong to the woman who saved me. The one who saved me was Marilyn, so how could it be Adeline’s?”

Lily’s heart raced in response to his words, panic setting in. Deep down, a primal instinct screamed that the woman who had rescued Victor that fateful night was indeed Adeline, not Marilyn!

“Victor, you must go see Adeline immediately!” she urged, her voice tinged with urgency.

A sudden thought struck her like a bolt of lightning, igniting a flicker of hope within her. “Wait! Adeline is pregnant!”

“That’s right! Adeline confided in me that over a month ago, her own mother sold her to a group of perverts. She managed to escape, but not before she was drugged. A man gave her the antidote that night. That man is the father of her baby! If you were really with Adeline that night, then that baby is yours, and Marilyn is lying!”

The implications of her words crashed over Victor like a tidal wave. Adeline had also been drugged a month ago, and a man had provided her with the antidote? Could it be that the woman he had been intimate with that night was not the malicious Marilyn, but the tender-hearted Adeline?

Lily’s voice broke through his tumultuous thoughts, her anxiety palpable. “Victor, do you have Adeline’s contact information? I’ll give it to you. You need to find her right away! Please, don’t be foolish! Don’t secretly register your marriage with Marilyn!”

She repeated her pleas, desperation coloring her tone, before finally ending the call.

Victor remained motionless, staring blankly at the darkened screen of his phone, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief. It was as if he had been struck by lightning, his soul momentarily detached from his body.

For so long, he had convinced himself that the woman he had shared that night with was the crude and vindictive Marilyn. He had resigned himself to a bleak and meaningless existence. Yet now, the woman he had touched might have been Adeline. And if that were true, she could be carrying his child…

A flicker of light ignited within him, a warmth he thought he had lost forever. Hope surged through his veins, urging him to see Adeline, to confront her with his questions—why had she left him that morning? Why hadn’t she told him the truth? Why… so many questions flooded his mind. He longed to hold her close, to kiss her deeply, and to never let her slip away again.

Time was of the essence. He could no longer delay. Clutching his phone tightly, he moved toward his car, but suddenly, Marilyn stepped into his path, blocking his way.
