Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 170

On the way to the hospital, Megan’s hands were clenched tight. She didn’t ask Sullivan for details.

The hospital corridors felt endless, and as Megan paced through, the faint sound of a woman’s weeping, tinged with distortion and agony, familiar yet foreign, reached her ears.

Megan quickened her pace.

When she finally pushed open the door, Sullivan stood right behind her, his voice a low rumble, “Some thugs from the Corona gang made her deal in one ear Found her in an abandoned warehouse”

Megan’s eyes flooded with tears, her hand shaking on the doorknob. It took her a moment to gather the courage to step inside.

Timothy and his fiancée had arrived before her, sitting quietly in the room.

Lucia was a shadow of her former self, sitting on the hospital bed, not acknowledging Timothy or his fiancée nor hearing their attempts at comforting words.

Megan gently hugged her, her voice quivering with apologies for arriving late.
