Mr. CEO's Ex-Wife: A Cunning Comeback-Chapter 40 - : Get The Bandages Ready

Chantelle quickly put on a shy expression, realizing she had almost given herself away.

"Rai is fine. It's just an allergy. Thank you for your concern, Ms. Bently."

Daniel's eyes looked on her face as he spoke.

It felt like he was trying to see through her, tear her apart, and pull out the truth.

"You can't ignore an allergy. Have you figured out what caused it? Could he have eaten something like ginger by mistake? Daniel, you need to check carefully!"

Chantelle was anxious. Kane had always been healthy. If he was allergic, it had to be because she was also allergic to ginger.

She had been careless and forgot to warn Kane to be careful.

Did Daniel already suspect that Kane wasn't Rai?

Could Rai really be allergic to ginger, just like her?

Chantelle felt nervous. She couldn't figure out the answer.

"How did Ms. Bently know Railer has a ginger allergy?"

Chantelle's heart skipped a beat the moment Daniel asked her.

She quickly regained her composure. Looking up, she flashed a gentle smile.

"Of course, I know. I care about Railer, so I did my homework."

She was clearly trying to change the subject. Daniel watched her in silence, unimpressed. He didn't believe a word she said.

"Really? No one outside the family knows that Rai is allergic to ginger. You must be quite resourceful."

Chantelle's smile remained sweet, but a hint of mischief flickered in her eyes.

"Maybe you're just too confident in your security."

Daniel stared at her as if about to say something, but before he could, the medical staff rushed in, looking alarmed.

"Ms. Bently! Your wound has reopened!"

"Get the bandages ready!"

The room quickly became a flurry of movement as the doctor and nurses worked to treat her injury.

Once they finished rebandaging her wound, Chantelle looked up only to find that Daniel was already gone.

She let out a sigh but quickly frowned.

Daniel was starting to doubt her identity!

If he wasn't trying to test her, he wouldn't have shown up in the middle of the night.

Her reaction had been a mess. The shock of hearing about Kane's allergy had thrown her off, making her responses full of mistakes.

Even if Daniel hadn't been suspicious before, she might have just given him a reason to be.

She needed to act fast and stay ahead!

The ward fell silent, and Chantelle glanced at her phone, noticing an unread message from Calvin.

She had no intention of staying in the hospital any longer.

She quickly typed a reply, then stood up, ignoring the pain that spread through her body.

After changing her clothes, she headed straight for the basement.

Calvin had been nearby when he got the news.

From a distance, he saw her step out of the elevator and immediately pulled up in front of it.

He got out, opened the door for her, and waited until she was seated.

Then, he carefully shut the door and returned to the driver's seat.

"What happened, Ms. Chantelle? You look worse than before. Should I call Russell?"

Calvin didn't start the car right away. Instead, he turned to her, and worries filled his eyes.

When he left earlier, she had been tired, but now her face was pale, and sweat covered her forehead.

"I ran into the killer just now. My wound reopened, but it's fine now. No need to tell Russell; just have him take care of Rai."

Her tone was calm as she fastened her seatbelt and gestured for Calvin to drive.

"What? A killer? Who sent him?"

"I'm not sure, but he seems to be the same man who tampered with the car. His skills are sharp, so he's definitely a professional assassin."

"This is too dangerous, Ms. Chantelle! Let me stay by your side and protect you from now on!"

"I guess I'll have to trouble you with that."

This time, Chantelle didn't refuse.

If he was a trained killer, she wasn't confident she could handle him—especially while injured.

She still had unfinished business. Dying before completing her mission wasn't an option!

"Don't be so formal with me, Ms. Chantelle. This is my duty!" Calvin's tone was firm and serious.

"You just sent me a message saying you found Felix Turner, the special assistant who took care of Grandpa back then?"

Felix Turner had always been the old man's personal assistant. He was by his side during his hospital stay, handling everything.

But when the accident happened, he vanished.

Chantelle had spent years trying to track him down without any luck.

It was as if he had erased his existence, disappearing without a trace.

His sudden disappearance felt suspicious, as if he was hiding something.

For years, Chantelle had been searching for him. Even if it felt like looking for a needle in a haystack, she was determined to find him and uncover the truth.

"Yes, our intelligence network spotted Felix in a villa neighborhood on the outskirts of Easthan. He changed his name and identity, but surveillance caught his face. We tracked him using real-time data and confirmed his exact location."

"Let's go check it out." Chantelle gave a direct order.

"Ms. Chantelle, some of our people are already there. Why don't I take you home to rest first?"

"No need. We need to move now before anything unexpected happens."

Now that Felix's location had been found, the truth would be revealed, and she wasn't going to wait.

Chantelle was adamant.

Calvin had no choice but to leave the basement and drive straight to the villa neighborhood in the eastern suburbs.

At three in the morning, the roads in Easthan were nearly empty.

With no traffic to slow them down, they quickly reached their destination—Garden Villa, Block A, Unit 1301.

They had scouted the area earlier. It was a garden-style villa complex with multiple blocks.

At this hour, only one building had its lights on.

It felt as if the owner already knew they were coming.

Chantelle took a deep breath before reaching out to press the doorbell.

Ding-dong!

The chime echoed three times, but no one answered.

Calvin parked the car and walked over. He pressed the doorbell again, but still, there was no response.
