Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Astrid’s POV

I watched Blake and Laurel heading toward Michael’s car, dread booling in my stomach. If Blake was going to Mayo Clinic where William was, he might run into Audrey. The whole plan would collapse.

1 bit my lip and pulled out my phone, dialing the number Felix had just texted from.

“Hello?” A gruff male voice answered.

“Hi, could you tell me where the man who borrowed your phone went?”

“You mean that guy near Mayo Clinic’s back entrance?” He sounded annoyed. “Still at the hospital.”

“Can you help me contact him?”

“Sorry, no can. I collect garbage there, and my truck’s already left. Can’t go back now.”

The call ended abruptly. I stared at my darkened screen, feeling helpless. Audrey and Felix were at the hospital – exactly where Blake was heading.

Please be careful, Audrey.

Laurel’s POV

In the back of Michael’s car, I sat straight–backed, careful not to brush against Blake. He’d been staring out the window since we left the riverside, completely ignoring me.

His profile was sharp against the passing streetlights. So close, yet unreachable.

I carefully slipped my phone from my purse. With Blake distracted, I typed a message

to

Andrew Jensen:

“Contact Dr. Evans and arrange for that woman to have an episode immediately!”

Since Blake was already going to Mayo Clinic for William, I’d use my “illness” and William’s condition to keep him firmly

in my grasp.

I couldn’t let him get more involved with Audrey’s accident anymore! Even in death, that woman threatened everything I’d

built.
