Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2240

If Cory was after money, he could have chosen a smarter approach.

Instead, he opted for the most foolish method.

Kyson furrowed his brow.

“So, where is that man now? Have you caught him?”

“No, he’s very clever.

I tried to draw him out, but it turned out he had used a fake identity.

He sent a decoy to meet me, and it was the substitute who ended up dead,” Nathan said.

For a moment, both men were silent.

The only sounds were the hum of the humidifier, and Colby’s occasional soft coos, making the room exceptionally quiet.

“So the secret arrest warrant you issued was to catch this elusive man.

”

Kyson could envision the intense standoff that must have occurred, with both parties on high alert.

Nathan gave a derisive snort, his gaze intense, radiating a daunting presence.

“Even though we didn’t capture him, I know what he looks like.

Once the warrant is issued, it will limit his movements, and catching him will just be a matter of time.

”

Kyson nodded in agreement.

He noticed the red blood vessels in Nathan’s eyes with just a glance, a clear sign that he had been tirelessly working on this matter day and night recently.

Raising an eyebrow, Kyson offered some rare words of concern.

“You should get some rest.

I’ll look after Colby.

Nathan’s lips twisted into a wry smile; he clicked his tongue, said nothing more, and stood up to leave.

In the hospital’s simple resting room, a slim figure sat on the bed, her back to the door.

Her skin was smooth and enticing.

The dim light cast a soft glow, enhancing her mysterious and beautiful silhouette.

Nathan quietly opened the door and was greeted by such a sight.

His throat felt dry as he tiptoed closer.

It was only when he neared her that he noticed the faint red marks on her back, and he was instantly shocked.

Previously, Fletcher had only mentioned that Lucinda had volunteered to be tied up in the basement to keep the enemy from detecting any clues.

He hadn’t gone into the specifics of what she endured.

Seeing the marks now, he was overwhelmed with heartache.

Lucinda reached back with an arm, trying awkwardly to dab ointment on her marks with a cotton swab.

It was difficult for her to apply the ointment by herself, and she struggled to manage the pressure of her touch.

“Ouch…”

Her delicate eyebrows knitted together, and her face contorted slightly with pain.

“Let me help.
