Seven Years a Shadow: The Stand-In's Escape novel Chapter 55

The assistant's face turned pale, and he almost cried out.

"Mr. Gray, I'm not lying to you!"

"I checked the surveillance footage. Before the ambulance even arrived, someone had already bandaged little one."

"Mrs. Gray took little one and directly took a taxi to the airport, catching the fastest flight abroad!"

The assistant trembled as he handed his phone to Elon.

"This is the divorce agreement Mrs. Gray sent you. Take a look, and you'll understand!"

Elon snatched the phone from him and glanced at it. He couldn't stop himself from trembling.

On the divorce agreement, I had chosen to leave with nothing.

My only request was that he never disturb me and little one again.

Elon suddenly grabbed the assistant by the collar and yelled uncontrollably:

"Where did she go?"

The assistant shook his head in panic.

"After Mrs. Gray got to the airport, she changed to new identification and boarded the flight. No one knows where she went..."

Elon loosened his grip, staring at the assistant with confusion and helplessness.

"How could Natalie leave me? Is she really so determined not to let me find her?"

"No, I just made the mistake that all men make. She won't refuse to forgive me!"

"She's just angry because of what happened to little one today. She's trying to punish me. Once I find her, she'll forgive me, right?"

His body swayed, almost unable to stand, and his voice wavered.

But both he and the assistant knew that this was nothing more than self-deception.

"Yes, it has to be like that. Every time I upset Natalie in the past, she would hide and make me find her. As long as I coax her, she would come back!"

"I don't care what you do, find out where Natalie is immediately, do you hear me?"

He yelled hysterically, forgetting he was in a hospital.

"Are you out of your mind? I didn't say anything wrong. It was Natalie who wanted to leave. Why are you hitting me?"

"Anyway, her son's a fool now. What use is she to you?"

"I've been putting up with everything for so long, and now she's finally left on her own. Shouldn't you give me and Christian a name?"

Her voice was full of grievance, but Elon showed no sign of sympathy.

Instead, he raised his hand, grabbing her by the neck, frowning as he yelled:

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Remember, there is only one Mrs. Gray, and that's Natalie. I suggest you don't try to take what doesn't belong to you!"

Eva struggled, almost suffocating as he tightened his grip around her neck.

She fought desperately but couldn't break free.

Just then, Christian suddenly ran out, clinging to Elon's leg, crying out:

"Let go of my mom! Don't touch her!"
