Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

"It seems that Bella's disappearance was because of that phone call." Ralph's instincts as a detective kicked in as he furrowed his brow to analyze the situation. "But what's strange is that Bella is not the type to act impulsively or recklessly. Even if she left the house and encountered an unexpected situation, she would at least try to find a solution with Camilla. So whoever was on the other end of that call must have somehow manipulated her. They must have offered Bella something she couldn't refuse, forcing her to make this desperate decision."

"Strange," Asher said, becoming more anxious the more he thought about it. "Christopher and his associates are all in Sentania, and all the dangerous people are here. We were on a mission at the church, Camilla was at home, and Edward attended his event safely. What could possibly lure Bella away, risking such danger, besides concerns for her family?"

"It's... Christopher!" Justin's face turned ashen as he spoke without hesitation. "Right now, Taylor is dead, and Yvonne has been successfully rescued by Drew. Christopher has no leverage left. His only option would be to come after Bella, find a way to take her, and control her. After all, Bella is the one person he desires most. If he's fleeing for his life, he would give up everything, but he wouldn't leave without Bella!" After Justin spoke, he closed his eyes and winced, struggling to take a deep breath but unable to shake the heartache and pounding in his head.

The others exchanged worried looks. Justin's reasoning made perfect sense, but none of them wanted his words to be true.

At that moment, Edward's secretary burst into the room, drenched in sweat. "Mr. President! Something terrible has happened!"

Edward tightened his grip around Camilla's trembling waist and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The secretary spoke nervously, "Earlier today, four hidden bombs exploded at the new museum you attended. The whole place was completely destroyed, with the damage estimated to be in the billions!" Everyone was shocked. "What?! Bombs?!"

Not just one, but four bombs!

Camilla, already on the verge of collapse, went completely limp in Edward's arms. She clutched his shirt, trembling with fear. "Edward... You were just at that event today. If you had stayed even a moment longer... Just one moment... I would have lost you forever!"

"It's terrifying..." Ralph said, his hand pressed to his chest. "Edward, you're so lucky. You got out of there just in time before the museum exploded. Even the heavens are on your side!"

But Edward was far from thinking about his luck. He quickly asked the secretary, "Were there any casualties?"
