All Chapters of Pursuing My EX Wife: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

The following morning, Marcus drove down to the Gabriel family’s house to meet them.Franklin was the one who opened the door. He stepped aside, allowing Marcus to walk in.The living room was well-furnished, elegant yet cozy. The polished wooden floors gleamed under the soft lighting, and a large chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling. Everything about the space spoke of quiet wealth and refinement.Marcus briefly took in the surroundings before shifting his focus back to the reason he was here.Gabriel, the head of the family, sat on one of the large leather chairs. He raised his head and looked at Marcus, his gaze calm but assessing.“Mr. Marcus,” he greeted.Marcus gave a respectful nod and bowed his head slightly. “Good morning, sir.”Gabriel acknowledged the greeting with a small nod but didn’t say anything further.Moses, however, wasted no time getting to the point. His face was tight with tension, his voice clipped.“Is there any update?” he asked.Marcus exhaled and sh

Marcus’s eyes locked onto the message. His heartbeat quickened slightly, but his face remained unreadable.We found something. Sending the details now.A second later, an attachment followed.He quickly opened it.It was a partial surveillance recovery—not from the abandoned building, but from a nearby street camera.The footage was grainy, but it clearly showed a black van parked a few blocks away from the site.Then, a blurry figure appeared—carrying someone.Marcus’s jaw clenched.Though the footage wasn’t clear enough to see faces, the situation was obvious. Lilian had been moved into that van.And now, he had a lead.He wasted no time.Dialing Hilary, he barked his next order. “Find that van. I need the plates traced immediately. Why is everything so slow? You guys should do better!” His frown deepened, irritation evident in his voice.Hilary, already sensing the urgency, responded quickly. “On it, boss.”Marcus exhaled sharply, his mind racing.He needed to stay sharp. Every se

Lilian looked around, her breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. She was surrounded by towering trees, their thick branches twisting overhead, blocking most of the sky. The forest stretched endlessly in every direction, a never-ending sea of green and brown. She had no idea where she was or which way would lead her to safety.Her pulse pounded in her ears as panic settled in. How had she ended up here? Just hours ago—or was it days?—she had been in a completely different place, far from this nightmare. But now, she was lost, alone, and running for her life.She took a hesitant step forward, then another. The dry leaves crunched beneath her feet, the sound too loud in the suffocating silence of the forest. Her heart clenched. She couldn’t stay in one place for too long. They were looking for her.Suddenly, voices broke through the quiet.Lilian froze.The sound came from her right, deep and sharp, carried by the still air. She barely had time to react before the words became clear.“If

Twenty-four hours later, Marcus finally woke up after the operation.His eyelids fluttered weakly before opening completely, adjusting to the bright hospital room. A dull ache spread through his body, reminding him of everything that had happened. His head felt heavy, but he forced himself to focus on his surroundings.The first thing he saw was Lilian sitting by his bedside, her hands clasped together as if she had been praying. When she noticed his eyes open, relief flooded her face.“Thank goodness,” she breathed, placing a hand over her chest as if to calm her racing heart.Marcus managed a small, tired smile. “Were you worried I wouldn’t wake up?” he asked, his voice hoarse from lack of use.Lilian met his gaze, hesitating for a moment before responding. “Yes… After all, you’re in this bed because of me. If things had gone differently, I would have been the one lying here instead.” Her voice softened, guilt laced through every word. “I feel horrible about it.”Marcus’ smile faded

This made Marcus smile. “Okay.”Lilian turned her back to him while he took his bath, making sure not to peek. She heard the sound of water splashing as he moved under the shower, the faint scent of soap filling the air. She sat on the edge of the bed, waiting, but the silence between them made time stretch unbearably slow.After about fifteen minutes, Marcus finally spoke. “I’m done.”Lilian turned around and glanced at him. She tried to keep her gaze on his face, but her eyes betrayed her, flickering downward for a split second. Quickly, she walked toward him and picked up a towel, her fingers working mechanically as she helped him wash his back.Marcus let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes, savoring the moment of peace. He rarely had time to relax, and despite the situation, this felt oddly comforting. Lilian’s hands were gentle, her touch light yet firm as she worked.Just as she finished, Marcus reached for the shower knob and twisted it, sending a rush of water pouring down hi
