HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 920

The doctor slowly parted his lips. "Mrs. Lydia..." The man hesitated, and that hesitation made Lydia unconsciously tense even more. The doctor took a deep breath. "Have you ever..."

Before he could finish his sentence...

BOOM!!

A massive explosion shook the entire building.

The floor beneath Lydia's feet trembled violently. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling swung wildly as chunks of plaster broke loose and crashed onto the floor one after another. The windowpanes rattled violently under the shockwave, while alarms suddenly blared throughout the entire building, shattering the silence that had blanketed the old house.

The doctor sprang to his feet. "What happened?"

Before either Lydia or the doctor could comprehend what was happening, the bedroom door was violently shoved open from the outside.

Bang!

Jasper appeared first.

For the first time since Lydia had known him, his expression had changed. He no longer looked as composed as usual. His jaw was set, and his gaze swept across the entire room in a matter of seconds.

"Silas!" he shouted toward the corridor.

From the first floor, the first gunshot finally rang out.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

The guards' shouts immediately erupted, mixing with the footsteps of dozens of people racing through the hallways of the house. The radio clipped to one of Silas's men's shoulder suddenly crackled to life.

"The eastern perimeter has been breached!"

"The front team, fall back!"

"They're already inside the courtyard!"

"All units, to your positions!"

The reports overlapped one another without pause.

Silas, who had been standing several feet from the door, slowly drew a pistol from beneath his jacket. There wasn't the slightest hint of panic on his face. Instead, his eyes became even more alive, as though this was the very moment he had been waiting for from the beginning.

The corners of his lips slowly curved into a faint smile. "Finally." He turned his head toward Jasper. "Our guests have arrived."

Not far from the bed, Lydia unconsciously gripped the edge of the blanket more tightly. Her heart pounded so hard it nearly drowned out the gunfire that was drawing closer by the second.

Someone... had really come. But who?
