Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 207 The Devastating Truth Nico recomposed himself before continuing, “Mr. Wright was actually… the captain of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Team Fourteen.

There was an urgent summon from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they never do this unless there’s something major happening.

But Mr. Wright didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.

He wanted to do one last thing for you, so he requested to report to the bureau three days later.

The injuries he sustained were the punishment he received for going against orders.

” There was civil conflict at that time.

The collapse of a regime would happen at any time, and the change of power was imminent.

It had been a massive incident.

Yet, Maverick had chosen to stay for three more days, even if it meant that he was going to be punished.

Nico suppressed his heartache and said, “It was thirty whips.

He was whipped until he vomited blood, and in the end, the executioner could not bring himself to continue to do it, so he only whipped Mr. Wright twenty times.

” Gwendolyn was confused as she looked at the bloody shirt in her hands.

“What kind of whip could make him vomit blood in twenty strikes?” “It’s not an ordinary whip; it’s a whip with steel wires wrapped around it.

The whip has barbs on it, and even a gentle stroke could make the skin a bloody mess.

The executioner had not shown him any mercy as every time the whip struck him, it went deep into his flesh.

Mr. Wright barely had any spots for the executioner to strike because of his burns, so the last five strikes had been on his lower back…” Nico trailed off, unable to continue anymore.

He was livid and heartbroken.

Gwendolyn did not dare to imagine what the scene was like.

Even hearing about it was making her feel the pain.

His back was already covered in wounds, so how did he withstand such a severe punishment? No wonder things went south for him this time.

He went to kill for me despite his grievous injuries.

Did he not think about how he might die? Her throat tightened, and she gripped the blood-soaked shirt until her knuckles went white.

Nonetheless, Nico was right in front of her, so she forced her tears away.
