CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 754

Elliot, already teetering on the edge of reason, was pushed further by the taunting voice.

With no control over his emotions, he charged at Suzy once again.

Suzy didn’t want to hurt him, especially given his fragile condition.

He was still wearing the hospital gown from when he had gone missing, evidence that his captors had seen him only as a tool to manipulate.

His body bore wounds that had scabbed over but showed signs of infection, and he was visibly weak.

But in his current state, reasoning with him was futile. Suzy had no choice but to seal his acupoints again.

“Let me go! Let me go!” Elliot shouted, his voice raw and filled with anguish.

“Release me now!”

Ignoring his pleas, Suzy turned her attention to the door, focusing on finding a way to escape. They had to get out of there.

However, the door wasn’t easy to breach.

Whoever was behind this had planned meticulously, and the door was secured with three layers of electronic locks.

Just cracking the first one was proving to be a challenge, let alone all three.

Suzy took a deep breath and began working on the first lock.

Before she could make any real progress, Elliot managed to break free of the acupoint restraint.

He sprang forward and grabbed Suzy from behind, his desperation driving him to tear at her clothes.

“Elliot Hayes!” Suzy shouted, spinning around and shoving him away forcefully.

“I’m your mentor! Even if Dylan Wright didn’t exist, there would still be no possibility for us!”

“You won’t die,” Suzy said firmly. “The Elixir of Purification might not have fully neutralized the poison, but it’s not without effect. You won’t be in immediate danger.”

“Not in immediate danger?” Elliot let out a hollow laugh.

“What if you’re wrong? Would you gamble like this if it were Dylan? Would you risk his life?”

“Elliot, you’re not Dylan. He’s different from you. You’re two entirely different people. There’s no comparison—”

“So you’re admitting it!” Elliot interrupted, his voice rising in frustration.

“I’ll never measure up to him in your heart!”

“No, that’s not what I meant—” Suzy tried to explain, but Elliot cut her off, his patience completely gone.

Before she could finish her sentence, he tore at her clothes in desperation. “You’re not my mentor. I don’t want you to be my mentor. I want you to be mine—my woman!”
