My Wife is a Hacker

"This isn’t your fault." Ellar looked up at Patricia, his eyes serious." But can you promise me that in the future, you won't hide dangerous situations from me?'

This was about Doretta deceiving Emma, not a trap set for them. If it had been a trap, even if Patricia had gone, she might have already fallen into it, and both of them could have been in danger.

"We will find a way to rescue Mrs. Riddle, rest assured," Patricia consoled Ellar.

"Okay." Ellar nodded, his gaze falling on the phone.

What Ellar hoped for now was that his phone would ring, bringing news from Everett. Even if it were a threat, it would be good news for him. As long as Everett was willing to negotiate, Emma would be safe for the time being. Ellar was prepared to give up everything to ensure Emma's safe return.

"Ellar!" The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Emery hurried in. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Emery." Ellar, looking pale, acknowledged Emery, realizing from his expression that he was aware of the situation.

"Any news yet?" Emery frowned at Ellar.

Ellar shook his head. ' Nothing.'’

"So, we just wait?" Emery was visibly frustrated.

"There's no other choice." Ellar said resignedly, knowing they couldn't even dare to search extensively for Emma, fearing it might provoke Everett into doing something drastic.

"Emery," Dexter followed in, trying to calm him, "I told you to not panic just yet."

"Dad, you're here too." Ellar's eyes reddened slightly, feeling he had let Dexter and Emery down.

"Don't worry, Everett will contact you. Whatever he wants, you agree to it. We must ensure your mother comes back safely," Dexter advised Ellar. He knew that they had no other demands now; the safe return of Emma was all that mattered.

"It's our fault. We never anticipated that Doretta would dare to harm Emma, " Patricia expressed with guilt.

She thought to herself that if she had known Doretta would heartlessly target Emma, she wouldn't have agreed to keep Emma in the dark about Doretta's intentions, and Emma wouldn't have easily trusted Doretta.

"Doretta did this?!" Dexter was utterly shocked.

"She's bought off by Everett..." Ellar laid out the whole situation. He had feared that Emma couldn't withstand Doretta’s betrayal, so he lied about her whereabouts. However, he hadn't expected this would instead push Emma into peril.

"She's utterly heartless!" Dexter roared in anger. Then, he stiffened and fainted.

"Dad!" Emery and Ellar, panicked, supported Dexter and then called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

As dusk fell, Nicole and Lulu visited the hospital after getting off work.

"Uncle Dexter, are you feeling better?" said Nicole. She placed a basket of fruit down and inquired about Dexter's condition with concern.

"It's nothing serious, I just got a bit overwhelmed,” Dexter replied, still appearing somewhat weak.

He had been too anxious, worried about Emma, and the news about Doretta made him faint from anger.

"The doctor said he should be fine with a couple of days' rest," Ellar explained. He then frowned and added, "Nicole, Everett still hasn't called me. What is he planning?"

Everyone present was aware of the truth, so Ell ar didn't feel the need to hold back any information.

"Don't worry, he's just waiting for you to become anxious," Nicole glanced at Dexter and said, "Now that he likely knows Uncle Dexter is hospitalized, I think he will call you soon."

Right after she spoke, Ellar's phone rang.

Seeing it was Everett calling, Ellar immediately answered and shouted," Everett, if anything happens to my mother, I will never forgive you!"

"Let's meet at BayCorp's parking basement. Come alone," Everett said and then hung up the phone.
