Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: I Am Coming Back

The next day, the air ambulance and the specialized team were arranged, and Aiden was transferred to the hospital where Caryn was. It was their safe base for the moment.

Eric, who had finally learned what had happened, was shocked to see Aiden lying almost lifeless in the hospital ICU bed. Leo explained to him how it had happened.

The shocked man felt conflicted about how to break the news to Caryn, who had already been restless over Aiden’s disappearance. But he had to tell her anyway. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Controlling his own emotions, Eric went to her. As usual, he saw her lying in her bed, silently looking out of the window.

"Caryn," Eric called her.

The woman didn’t look at him but instead said, "If you have no information about Aiden’s whereabouts yet, you can get lost."

"I... I came with information," Eric replied hesitantly.

She still didn’t look at him and asked in her usual cold tone, "Where is he?"

Eric swallowed hard before saying, "Here... in this hospital..."

"Tell him to come visit me right away," she said, still looking out of the window.

"He can’t come to you," Eric said.

There was silence for a while before Caryn finally turned to look at him. "What’s the matter?" For the past few days, she hadn’t had a good feeling and felt worried about what she was about to hear.

"He is gravely injured and is in the ICU after surgery," Eric replied, keeping his composure calm.

Caryn inhaled deeply to steady herself as her worst fears were confirmed. "Take me to him."

"You can’t go yet. I already asked the doctor, and they clearly said you’re not allowed to leave this room," Eric replied, holding his breath, bracing himself for her anger.

But, contrary to his expectations, the woman remained calm. "Who did this?"

Eric nodded. "They are said to be from Belvorn."

Hearing this name, Caryn’s expression turned icy.

"He was trying to find out who is after you and your daughter, and stop them before they could plan another attack," Eric added.

Caryn clenched her fists. "That kid. I told him to stay out of it, but... if I don’t say anything, it’s because there’s a reason. Yet no one wants to listen to me..."

"If you had told him, this wouldn’t have happened," Eric countered, gathering all his courage.

Caryn frowned. "I know him better than you. I’ve raised him all these years. If I had told him, he wouldn’t have stopped. Instead, he would’ve gone head-on with them... He doesn’t know how dangerous they are."

Eric remained silent as Caryn spoke again. "Give me my mobile."

Eric pulled her mobile out of the drawer and handed it to her, wondering what she was planning now.

With her expression serious, she typed a number into her mobile as if she had memorized it by heart and dialed. The call was answered after a few rings.
