Chapter 5

Griffin couldn't understand how things ended up this way.

He didn't know why soaking in cold water left Nora so pale.

He didn't know why a stranger kicked open the door and took Nora away.

"What right do you have to take her? Nora is my wife!"

Griffin felt an inexplicable rage.

"You still remember she's your wife?" The man's eyes were red, glaring fiercely.

"But soon, she won't be."

Numerous bodyguards stopped him, and Griffin could only watch as they took Nora away.

How could she not be? Nora loved him so much she used deceitful means to be with him. How could she leave him?

Despite his thoughts, he still felt uneasy, as if something was slipping out of his control.

Until he got home and saw the divorce papers. Nora only asked for a divorce, no assets. Griffin felt like he never truly knew Nora.

Besides love, he gave everything to Nora. What was she dissatisfied with?!

Wait—love?

Griffin recalled the man who took her away, as if he grasped something.

"Investigate, find out everything about Nora! See who she's been in contact with, especially men!"

He thought of Nora's image as a dutiful wife and loving mother over the years, as if she would never get angry.

Because she didn't love, so she didn't care?

Griffin felt an unprecedented anger. How dare Nora betray him!

Griffin never considered Nora's condition after going to the hospital. Instead, he obsessively investigated, as if catching Nora's fault would solve everything.

So, a month later, a document was delivered to him.

"Boss, this is all the information we could gather about your wife. Also, there's one thing you should be prepared for." The speaker was Griffin's trusted aide, who knew almost everything about him.

Griffin didn't know why he was nervous, as if opening this file would change something.

"Where." He pretended to be calm.

"Your wife's data was erased, but we discovered something by asking around locally."

"Boss, the kidnapping case you and your Uncle went through sixteen years ago, your wife experienced it too."

"In other words, the one who saved you back then might not have been Cora Johnson, but your wife."

"And three years ago, the day you were drugged, your wife's whereabouts were concealed, but it's certain she wasn't in this city."

Griffin couldn't hear anything more after seeing the kidnapping information.

It was her! It was Nora!

Griffin almost wanted to rush out to find her immediately.

But when he stood up, his eyes caught the divorce papers nearby.

A tidal wave of guilt and regret overwhelmed Griffin, suffocating him.

"What should I... what should I do to bring her back..." Griffin murmured.
