Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1206:

If they wanted information so badly… he was ready to hand them exactly what he decided they should see.

After half an hour, Alex smoothly pulled his car into the parking lot of Jazmah Hopevale Hospital. He made his way directly to the ward where Sadie had been staying, without stopping along the way.

To his surprise, the room was completely empty. A slight frown appeared on Alex’s face as he scanned the surroundings. He turned and called out to a nurse who happened to be passing by.

“Excuse me, is Ms. Sadie Hudson still in the hospital?”

The nurse looked up, pausing for a moment before responding, “Oh, Ms. Hudson? She was discharged about an hour ago. I heard she went to Faron Retreat.”

A glimmer of interest flickered in Alex’s eyes as he thanked her. Without hesitation, he left the hospital, his curiosity propelling him forward.

Faron Retreat…

What kind of place could that be?

He vaguely remembered that it had been left abandoned for years, with rumors circulating that a devastating fire had ruined everything. Whispers spoke of a tragic event—a man and a woman who had perished in the blaze.

Alex didn’t waste any more time pondering it. He pulled out his phone and quickly searched for directions to Faron Retreat.

Stepping onto the grounds, which felt both unfamiliar and oddly nostalgic, she was overwhelmed by a surge of mixed emotions. Her parents had stayed at this place for a short while many years ago, but now, nothing looked the same. Only broken walls and remnants remained.

Standing at the entrance, an older man with streaks of gray in his hair noticed the car’s arrival. He quickly made his way over, offering Sadie a polite nod.

“Ms. Hudson, welcome. I manage things here. Our boss has been waiting for you.”

Sadie gave the man a measured look, then nodded in acknowledgment. She said nothing more, stepping inside with Austen right behind her.

As they moved further into the retreat, the damage left by the old fire became harder to ignore.

Buildings that once stood in perfect rows were now nothing but blackened shells, silent and empty in the breeze. Where orchards had once thrived, only dried branches and fallen leaves now littered the ground.

The old man guided Sadie through a messy courtyard, eventually stopping in front of a small building that had survived mostly intact. He opened the battered wooden door, revealing a reception room.
