Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 120 Another Performance

It was nine o’clock at night. Maverick was awakened by the crisp chirping of two birds.

Bearing the excruciating pain in his back, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up from the ground.

He had to stay alert, as there were important matters to attend to in the evening.

He leaned on the railing as he returned to his room on the second floor and headed straight to the bathroom. He then turned the shower temperature up to its highest setting.

As his shirt was stained with blood and he had fainted for six hours without changing it in time, the blood from the wound had stuck to the fabric of the shirt. If he tried to forcefully change his clothes, it would peel off a layer of skin on the spot. Only by using hot water could he quickly remove the shirt.

However, when the hot water showered on the wounds on his back, it was like enduring a second round of torture, as if millions of needles were piercing his bat

Maverick trembled in pain.

He gritted his teeth as the hot water washed over him. Although his body was in excruciating pain, his mind was becoming increasingly clear.

After washing up for a few minutes, he changed into clean clothes, turned off the light, and took advantag of the limited view from the bodyguard’s hiding spot. He pretended to lie down on the bed to sleep and quietly stuffed the extra bedding he had prepared in advance onto the bed, making it look as though he was sleeping.

Then, he quietly rolled to the foot of the bed from the other side. When his back accidentally touched the ground, he shuddered in pain, and his vision became momentarily blurred.

After waiting for two minutes, he finally left through the slightly ajar door and went to the room on the other side, which was in the blind spot of the bodyguard’s view. He climbed down the pipe next to the window to reach the first floor.

This location just happened to be the back door.

Nico heard a faint sound and quietly reported through the iron door, “Boss, the Newton family had only one missing daughter six years ago, but that girl was found three years ago. Her photos can be found online, and she’s definitely not Ms. Shalders. Other than that, there’s no one else with a similar timeline t Ms. Shalders.”

Maverick’s eyes, which were originally filled with pain, gradually dimmed.

Nico continued, “But when I went to visit the prison, I found out that Ms. Shalders was in Lightspring to personally bring back a doctor to treat Inez’s heart. I gathered all my subordinates to investigate and eventually discovered that the doctor she was looking for was… Kieran.”

Kieran? Maverick was stunned on the spot.

Kieran held a significant position in the medical field, which spoke volumes about his status. However, rumors suggested that he had a reclusive and arrogant personality, being a man of few words. He was als known as a medical fanatic, with no women ever seen by his side.

Gwendolyn able to persuade someone like that?
