Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 418 - 434: You’re Investigating Me? (16)

Isabel Smith felt that her recent days were like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, each twist and turn she anticipated ended up being a rebirth of a nightmare. No matter how bad a person’s luck was, it shouldn’t be this bad... There should always be a glimmer of hope, right?...

Isabel Smith’s thoughts ignited a wildfire-like flame, bringing her an intense expectation. She swallowed hard, placing all her bets on this phone call to Percy Stanton.

At this point, as long as her child could be saved, her pride as Isabel Smith didn’t matter anymore.

Isabel Smith listened to the ringing of her phone, her fingers shaking violently. She gripped her mobile phone tightly, a layer of inexplicable tension stirred in her heart.

Tone after tone...

The phone rang three times but no one answered.

This period was not long, but Isabel Smith felt as if it had been ages. She waited patiently but in the end, she was greeted by the standard offical message: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not available at the moment, please try later."

Didn’t he hear it? Or, is he busy?

Isabel Smith was deep in thought for a while before dialing Percy Stanton’s number again.

This time, after ringing three times, the call was suddenly cut off.

Did Percy Stanton hang up her call?

Isabel Smith furrowed her eyebrows, a sense of panic slowly rising in her heart. She stubbornly dialed Percy Stanton again. However, this time, the cold, offical message countered her immediately: "Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off."

Afterwards, it repeated the same in standard English: "Sorry, the telephone you are calling is powered off."

Without any hesitation, Isabel Smith dialed Percy Stanton’s number again, only to be met with the same response.

Isabel Smith obstinately kept redialing, hearing the cold switch-off message again and again, her only hope getting cut off bit by bit. Her face turned paler and paler in the process, and sharp pains swelled in her heart.

How could Percy Stanton have powered off his phone? She could have reached him just now...

Just because she found out he had been secretly investigating him, had an argument with him and spoke some regrettable words, he can’t be so angry to the point of shutting down his phone, right?

A few nights ago, she realized that carrying a child would be tough, she subconsciously wanted to find a support, and then called him. He even returned her call...

She had said that dialing his number was a mistake, and his tone didn’t seem angry. Why is he not answering her calls today?

How could he be so petty... The Communist and Nationalist Party fought a brutal war, they could still join hands to fight against Japan in a crisis. Why couldn’t he and she put aside disputes and peacefully solve the problem once?

After all, they had shared so many nights, worked together for such a long time, stayed overtime at the office in the late night, ordered KFC or McDonald’s when they were extremely hungry, watched movies quietly together, having had countless meals together, going to and from work despite the rain and wind...

So many shared experiences... There should still be some affection left, right?...

She wasn’t sure if it was because of the sudden lack of hope, but the drastic fluctuation in her emotions seemed to trigger some pain in her abdomen.

Isabel Smith had been pregnant before, so she knew what this type of pain signified. Frantically, she looked around to only find out that there was no one on the street whom she recognized.
