Hunting for His EX-Wife

Two people were clinging to the pipe, sliding down one after the other until they were still a distance from the ground. Shawn was exhausted and his arms felt weak, causing him to slide down further. Leah below gasped in fear and shouted, “Be careful!” Fortunately, Sean caught him just in time by hooking his foot onto a nearby rock beside the pipe.

Leah covered her eyes in shock.

Both of them were drenched in sweat, but they had finally succeeded in landing safely on the ground.

Leah pulled out two tissues and exclaimed happily, “Sean! Wipe off your sweat quickly!”

“We need to leave this place immediately.”

After resting for a while, they planned to leave quietly without being noticed. However, footsteps accompanied by shouting could be heard coming from the small garden nearby where guards had heard something suspicious and rushed over to investigate. The window upstairs was wide open which allowed them to spot all three of them standing on the lawn below trying to escape.

The assistant panicked when he saw what was happening and ran towards their direction shouting anxiously, “Master Shawn! Miss Leah! Don’t run away!”

“Quickly go!” Leah led at the front followed by Shawn with Sean as they tried escaping but unfortunately Shawn suddenly felt an intense pain in his chest causing him to take one step before collapsing onto the grassy lawn.

“Hey! What happened?” Sean shouted loudly and rushed over, but he still couldn’t catch Shawn who had suddenly collapsed. Leah, who had heard the noise, was also startled. She had just stepped over the railing when she heard Sean’s shout and immediately turned around. When she saw the unconscious boy lying on the ground, she was shocked and ran back.

“Sean, what’s wrong with him? Why did he faint?” Leah asked, her voice filled with concern.

Sean knelt beside him tapping gently on his arm but there was no response from him whatsoever.”I don’t know,” he shook his head not knowing what caused it or how serious it might be.

The siblings shouted in panic, not caring about escaping anymore. After all, it was Shawn who had saved them, and now that he had suddenly collapsed, they couldn’t just run away on their own. They couldn’t forget their debt of gratitude; their mom had always said they should be grateful to those who helped them.

The assistant and a group of bodyguards chased after them, and when they saw Shawn lying unconscious on the ground with the two kids anxiously shouting by his side, their faces turned pale. They staggered over and nervously checked Shawn’s breathing.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Thank goodness! He was still breathing!

They had been terrified.

But what’s wrong with Shawn?

Taking a closer look at the little boy lying on the ground, the assistant changed color, thinking, ‘If something really happened to Shawn, Mr. Harper would not let me off, and probably would fire me!’

“Hurry! Call an ambulance quickly! You guys go now!” He directed the bodyguards to make the call.

After a while, the ambulance arrived with an assistant taking Shawn, who was unconscious, and two other kids to the hospital. Along the way, they contacted Elliot.

Sean tightly held Leah’s hand, and both siblings had worried and anxious expressions on their faces, as well as a faint sense of guilt.

“Sean, will he be okay?” Leah pursed her lips, her face pale and anxious.

Sean didn’t know what to say or why Shawn suddenly fainted, but seeing the color of his face, he gently comforted Leah, “We’ll go to the hospital with him in a moment. Maybe he’s just too tired and he’ll be fine.”

Leah’s face no longer had the bright and gentle smile, she silently nodded.

In the office, Elliot and Rose were still at odds with each other and not speaking. The atmosphere was tense and silent for a moment until suddenly a phone rang, breaking the tension. Elliot went out of the break room to answer it, followed closely by Rose.

The call from the assistant.

He glanced at Rose and didn’t avoid her, then answered the call.

In the quiet office, the assistant’s voice sounded particularly clear. He spoke in an urgent and flustered tone, and Rose, who was listening closely, could only hear his voice saying, “Mr. Harper, something’s wrong! Shawn has fainted! We’re heading to the hospital now. Please come quickly. Oh, and by the way, Leah and that little boy who looks exactly like her are with us.”

“What!” Elliot hadn’t even spoken yet when Rose’s face suddenly changed, and she didn’t even have the mind to think about the distance between herself and Elliot. She frantically grabbed Elliot’s phone with both hands and asked urgently, “Leah and Sean are there too? Are they hurt? What happened? Where are they now? I’ll go over right away!”

Elliot’s gaze darkened at her urgent actions, but for now, it wasn’t the time to dwell on other issues. After confirming the address, the two of them hurriedly headed towards the hospital.

And someone arrived at the hospital before them.

Old Mr. Harper was hurriedly driven to the hospital by his driver, leaning on his cane.

He was able to arrive at the hospital first because he had left his contact information there beforehand. Whenever anything happened to his grandson, he would be immediately notified, which is why he arrived faster than Elliot.

After Shawn fainted and was taken to the hospital for a full-body checkup, it turned out that there wasn’t anything serious. He just needed some rest and should avoid intense physical activity in the future.

The assistant silently nodded and took note of this information while Sean and Leah felt guilty next to him.

The assistant didn’t know what had happened at the villa before they got here but found out after seeing footage from its surveillance cameras. After hearing what Sean and Leah said filled with guilt, they understood everything more clearly.

He sighed helplessly as he looked over at Shawn still asleep on his bed, then glanced over at Sean and Leah who were looking guilty beside him. He led them out of the ward, then comforted them, softly saying, “Don’t worry. Shawn will wake up soon enough. Are you guys hungry? Do you want me to buy something for you?”

Sean and Leah politely shook their heads in refusal.

The assistant wanted to say something else but saw old Mr. Harper walking straight towards them from not far away, so he quickly walked over with an anxious expression on his face. “Old Mr. Harper! Why are you here?”

“Where’s Shawn? Where is he? Is everything okay? What did the doctor say?” Old Mr. Harper tightly held onto the assistant’s hand as if worried about something urgent. “Quickly! Quickly take me in there!”

The assistant quickly helped old Mr. Harper into Shawn’s ward, leaving Sean and Leah ignored outside completely.

“Sean, should we go now?” Leah looked downcast.

Sean patted her head seriously and thought carefully. “Let’s not leave yet; Mommy might come looking for us when she finds out what happened.” Besides, it’s Shawn who saved my life, so let’s wait until after he wakes up before we leave.”
