From Ashes of Scandals to His Embrace novel Chapter 230

Laurinda pressed her face into Adolphus’s chest, her voice coming out low and shaky. “This is all my fault. If I hadn’t asked Bonnie to send those photos to Fabian, he wouldn’t have snapped like this. I should’ve found a different way…”

Adolphus hugged her tighter, feeling the tremble running through her. He understood her guilt, but he didn’t want her drowning in it.

“It’s not on you. Fabian was never a good guy anyway. Don’t overthink it. I promise, Bonnie’s going to be alright.”

The car pulled up fast outside the emergency room. Adolphus helped Laurinda out, and together they ran toward the hospital doors.

York spotted them and got up, meeting them halfway.

“They took her in about forty minutes ago. No clear updates yet.”

“I’ll go in and check. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to her.”

Adolphus told Laurinda and York to wait, then pushed open the doors to the trauma room and disappeared inside.

“What happened? Bonnie always has people with her. How did Fabian even get close?”

“Her bodyguard said Bonnie thought someone was following her, so she tried to lure them out. That’s when Fabian showed up in his car. He was completely out of control, just wanted Bonnie dead. She tried to dodge, but he still managed to hit her.”

York had already sent people to pull security footage from the area. He couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more going on. Even if Fabian had lost it, there’s no way he could have tracked Bonnie down so easily.

Harrell walked in and gave York a nod in greeting.

Just then, the trauma room door swung open. A nurse stepped out. York and Laurinda hurried over to her.

“How is she?”
