A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1293

That phrase—'I can't reach him'—made the already tense atmosphere in the hospital hallway even heavier.

Fairfax was unreachable. What did that mean?

It meant he had likely fallen into the hands of Elmer's people.

Knowing that Elmer's men were hunting for Fairfax, Susanna had been beside herself with worry, checking in with him almost every half hour.

Either by calling or texting.

But just now...

Neither her texts nor her calls had gone through.

At a critical moment like this, a sudden loss of contact meant only one thing.

Susanna was in full panic mode!

She was crying so hard she could barely breathe. "He's the only brother I have left. I've lost everything. The Yelchin family has lost everything."

"Why won't they just let us go? We'll leave Maxlandia! We'll leave!"

She was sobbing hysterically.

Yardley could feel a vein throbbing in his temple.

"I'm handling it!"

"Please, please, please..."

She kept repeating the word, begging him. Over the past period of time, no matter what she had endured with Yardley, she had never bowed her head!!

But in this moment, for the sake of her only brother, she was pleading with him.

And it was in this exact moment that Susanna truly understood what it meant to be powerless against a greater force.

She had called Starla. She had texted her.

But Starla hadn't picked up, nor had she replied!

Driven into a corner with no other options, she had no choice but to humble herself before Yardley again and again.

It was too cruel!

Starla was simply too ruthless.

Susanna had begged her bitterly in her messages, but Starla hadn't replied with a single word...!

She really didn't care about the bond they had shared for all those years.

She truly was a heartless person, without a shred of empathy left!

The thought made Susanna's chest ache violently.
