Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 539 A Critical Situation

The light in Hudson's eyes flickered.

"Belle, where did you guys go today? He turned towards Belle. Although he looked calm, his anxiety still couldn't be concealed."

"Belle looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, including Liya."

"After lowering her head and thinking about it, she said politely, """Dad, Calvin took me out to buy something today, and then he left because he said that he had something urgent to deal with.""

"Belle didn't tell the truth. She didn't know why, but when she saw Liya's eyes, she didn't want to mention anything about it. Her intuition told her to do so."

"After receiving Belle's reply, Hudson nodded his head and said, ""Since it's an urgent matter, then we don't have to wait for him. Let's have dinner first. He's a man. So, it's plausible that he won't be eating at home when he has to handle a lot of things.""""

"As soon as he said that, everyone lowered their heads and began to eat."

"Belle, this is the soup Calvin asked the kitchen to prepare for you. You should drink more of it. Paige put a bowl of soup in front of Belle and spoke with concern."

"Thank you, Mom. Belle accepted the bowl and thanked her with a smile. She was sitting to the right of Paige and was closer to her than anyone else. So, Paige cared for her even more."

"As for Liya, since she was to be just the second wife, who had not even gotten married yet, she was sitting at the left end of the table. All the dishes were pushed to the end after people in front received their portions. Therefore, Liya didn't even dare to imagine getting Paige's concern. Moreover, Belle's position in the family was beyond Liya's reach."

"After all, she was simply the second wife-to-be!"

"Belle, you have to eat more. Look at you. You're too thin, and your complexion doesn't look good either. This can't be done. The reason Calvin specially ordered the kitchen to cook delicious food for you everyday is that he's worried about your health. You shouldn't let his concern go to waste. Seeing that Belle had stopped eating after only having a measly amount, Paige became anxious and persuaded her hastily."

Belle really didn't have much appetite. She just wanted to sleep and also felt that her body was incredibly heavy.

"Thank you, Mom. I understand. She forced herself to finish another bowl of soup and then got up to leave."

"Belle doesn't have any appetite these days, and she doesn't look well either. As her mother-in-law, shouldn't you take care of her more in ordinary times? She's a good and sensible daughter-in-law. Hudson sighed when he saw Belle leaving. He then turned around and said to Paige solemnly."

"I understand. As she said that, Paige glanced coldly towards Liya, who was eating with her head lowered."

"Hudson also left after only eating a little. Just like that, dinner ended in no time, and everyone returned to their rooms. Even Jerry was listless and looked unhappy."

"After Belle returned to her bedroom, she lay in bed, but after only resting for a while, her eyelids started to twitch, and she felt very uneasy. She thought about it, sat up, and dialed Calvin's phone a few more times. Upon realizing that Calvin's phone was still turned off, she became even more anxious."

"Blake, do you know where Mr. Harvey went today? She thought that since Blake had always been concerned about Harvey Manor's affairs, then he would definitely pay attention to Calvin's matters too. With that way of thinking, she called him with a glimmer of hope."

It took a long time before someone answered the phone.

"Blake seemed to be doing something in a rush. He sounded very anxious, and his voice was low, which was evident that he was worried."

"Madam, things have become urgent. The terrorist organization already knows that Reid is going to bring Evan back to Harvey Manor tomorrow, and they're dissatisfied with it. Therefore, they want to stop Reid's actions, and they're already heading here. Right now, Mr. Harvey and Albie Williamson have brought the police to stop them at the border, but things are not that easy. Those guys have guns in their hands, and they're not easy to deal with."

"Belle was astounded, and she was shocked, while holding her cell phone in her hand."

"It was no wonder that Calvin wouldn't tell her what he was doing. Of course, he wouldn't let her know about something like that!"

"Blake, you should rush over now. You must ensure Mr. Harvey' safety, do you understand? she said in a trembling voice."

"Madam, I've long trailed after them. Don't worry. Blake sounded hasty, but it could still be considered calm. He sounded as though he was running."

"Blake, report to me immediately if something happens. After she anxiously warned him, she hung up the phone."

"After putting down the phone, Belle couldn't fall asleep, no matter how hard she tried."

"Calvin had his own people whom he had trained, including Aron and the others. Nevertheless, they were dealing with terrorists right then, and there were quite a few of them. Even if Albie Williamson and the police were there, she was still not at ease."

"She paced around anxiously in the bedroom, but she had no idea what to do."

"She placed her hand on her belly. She was already pregnant with Calvin's second child. So, she could not allow anything to happen to Calvin."

"After walking around the room several times, Belle's heart was still pounding violently, and she couldn't fall asleep at all. After thinking about it, she left the room and walked towards Hudson's study on the third floor."

"Since the matter had become so urgent and dangerous, she did not believe that Hudson didn't know anything about it."

The lights in Hudson's study were on.

Belle approached and gently knocked on the door.

Who's there? Hudson's slightly tired voice sounded from within.

"Dad, it's me. Belle cleared her throat and tried to remain as calm as possible."

"It was evident that Hudson was vaguely surprised when he heard her voice, but after a while, he said, ""Come in."""""

Alright. Belle gently pushed the door open.

"Hudson was standing in front of the desk, looking at the map of Harvey Manor, deep in thought, with a serious expression on his face."

Dad. Belle walked in and greeted softly.

"Hudson lifted his head and smiled faintly. ""Belle, it's already so late. What's the matter?""""

"Dad, Calvin hasn't returned yet, Belle replied clearly after a short moment of thought."

"Hudson's face was instantly shrouded in a shadow. However, he still said calmly, ""Belle, Calvin might have some other matters to attend to. Have some rest first. He will return once he's done with it." "No, Dad. Calvin is in big trouble today. I just want to ask if you know about it? Since Belle had come, she would not leave that easily. She knew that such a thing could not be left unattended. So, she simply went straight to the point."

"Surely enough, Hudson's face was filled with shock."

"Belle, how do you know? What happened to him? Hudson lifted his head and looked at her face with his fine eyes. As soon as he lifted his head, Belle's heart trembled for a bit when she saw his grey hair." "Dad, Calvin has followed Albie Williamson's men to deal with the terrorists. The situation is not good now. The terrorists have guns and weapons in their hands. I'm worried about Calvin... Belle did not go on. She just bit her lips, as her eyes shone with bright light."

"At that point, Hudson didn't hide it from her anymore. His expression changed in an instant, and he slightly bent his knees as if he was about to kneel down. He seemed to have aged in an instant." "Child, what else do you know? he asked in a trembling voice."

"Surely enough, Hudson knew that matter. After Belle confirmed her suspicions, she shook her head and said, ""Dad, this is what I only know. Please don't hide the matter from me anymore, since it concerns Calvin's safety right now."""""

"Tears welled up in Hudson's eyes. He took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them on again. Then, he looked at her with gentle eyes."

"Belle, Calvin didn't tell you these things because he was afraid that you'd be worried. Look at you. You're still fine before discovering it, but now, since you've learnt about it, you've started to worry, right?" "But I'm not afraid, Dad. I have the responsibility to know all this. Calvin is in danger now, and I am his wife. I have the responsibility to help him. Belle raised her head and stared at Hudson with courage as she declared in a firm tone."

"Hudson nodded his head, and a look of approval shone in his eyes."

"Belle, my men also told me that Calvin's and Albie Williamson's police force are now dealing with the terrorists. You have to believe in Calvin and the police. After all, for such a thing, evil will never triumph over good. You should go back to sleep first and not worry about it too much. I have been paying attention to it and am trying to figure out a method as well. After all, Calvin is my only son. He sighed and tried to persuade Belle, but his tone was extremely heavy."

"Belle stood still. At that time, it was very late, but she didn't feel sleepy at all."

"She only lifted her gaze to look at Hudson and said stubbornly, ""Dad, actually, you also have to believe in me. I've also experienced some things in my life. So, I'm not a weak and fragile woman. I know what to do.""""

"Hudson's mouth opened as his face tensed up. ""Belle, I've always trusted you the most. I've never doubted your intelligence and kindness. You're my good daughter-in-law. That's why Calvin and I wish to protect you and give you happiness. I believe that no one in Harvey Manor wants to hurt you either. There are some things that shouldn't be disclosed to you, or should I say, it's still not the time for you to learn about it. Please wait patiently. You'll understand everything one day.'

"His tone was like that of an elder speaking to a younger person, which sounded warm and gentle. It warmed Belle's heart on such a cold night, and she didn't speak anymore."

The phone suddenly rang at that moment.

"Perhaps it was due to his old age, Hudson was using an old phone. Its speakers were loud, and even the ringtone was a song from the sixties. It sounded completely out of touch with the modern world in Belle's ears."

"Hudson lowered his head to rummage for his phone and picked it up. Then, he looked at Belle."

"Belle knew that he was asking her to leave, but she simply stood there and didn't make a move. She clearly knew it was impolite and that Hudson had the authority to ask her to do so, but she didn't have any intention to leave and just stood right there."

What? Hudson's expression changed in an instant. "Another batch came?"

"He was basically growling in anger, but his mind was still clear. It was obvious that he had considered the fact that Belle was still in the room. That was why he didn't shout out the word 'terrorists'. Under the ceiling lamp, his whole face had collapsed and turned into a mask, the outline of which was hard and heavy, as if it didn't have any vigor at all. Belle could even see the desperate and disheartened light in his angry eyes."

She felt that her heart was in her mouth.

"The heavy atmosphere in the room suffocated Belle. Hudson didn't say anything, but from his expression, she could already guess what had happened."

"Moreover, her phone rang almost at the same time."

She had already answered the call before the phone would ring the second time.
