Asher was speechless.
Since Michael saw Lucy’s true colors, he had become a devoted husband.
Every day, he was either with his wife or on his way to find her.
Asher thought he should join Owen in hiring an exorcist.
Chloe arrived at the hospital and saw the nurses and the attending doctor, who regularly took care of Wendy, bustling around.
She was nervous.
“Ms. Nelson, you’re finally here. When I did rounds today, I found your mother missing. She only left this on the table.”
The nurse handed a letter to Chloe as she spoke.
Chloe opened it and the contents immediately brought her to tears.
Wendy knew!
She knew everything.
From her taking the six hundred million from Admas to her agreement marriage with Michael, to Michael having no feelings for her and always planning to divorce. She knew all these things.
[Chloe, I always thought you found your happiness, unlike me back then. But I didn’t realize I had always been your burden.]
[If it weren’t for me, you should have had a better life. You shouldn’t be trapped by the Shawn family, not bullied by them.]
[Chloe, I’m leaving. I’ve dragged you down for so many years. It’s time to give you freedom. Once mom is gone, you can do whatever you want. Chloe, it’s all my fault. I’m useless.] Chloe was already sobbing uncontrollably. She was clutching the letter, noticing the shaky handwriting.
There were also dried tear stains.
Wendy must have been in great pain while writing this letter.
“Go, go check the surveillance. Take me to the control room!”
Chloe clenched the letter and shouted at the nurse.
“Ms. Nelson, the surveillance cameras broke last night. The repair crew is still fixing it.”
It broke last night, and today Wendy had an incident.
Chloe knew that.
All of this felt like a huge conspiracy.
Without surveillance cameras, Chloe could only search on her own.
But the hospital was enormous, she had no idea where to start.
When Michael arrived, he ran into Chloe who was coming downstairs.
Seeing her disheveled hair and tear-streaked face, he also felt his breath catch.
“Chloe, what happened?”
“My mom! My mom found out about my deal with the Shawn family. She’s gone. She said she’s leaving!” Chloe cried as she spoke. Since the surveillance cameras were broken, she had to search floor by floor.
She had to find her.cháPtéRSFLOW.COM owns © this.
“Chloe, don’t worry. I’ll help you search!”
Michael made a call and his assistant sent people over to help search.
The entire hospital was filled with people in black suits.
But despite searching all the floors, Chloe still couldn’t find any trace of Wendy.
She collapsed again, kneeling in Wendy’s previous ward. Her face was full of despair.
“Mom, don’t leave me…”
Wendy was all she had!
“Mr. Shawn, we’ve searched everywhere. There’s no sign of her.”
The people Michael had called stood respectfully behind him. Their voices were full of helplessness. “Keep searching!”
The nurse was also standing beside Chloe at this point.
“Ms. Nelson, she can’t leave without a doctor’s order. Your mother must still be in the hospital.”
Chloe was in a daze.
She was still in the hospital, but they had searched everywhere and found nothing.
“Ms. Nelson, think if there’s any place we missed. I’ll have the hospital staff help search too.”
Any place?
What other place could there be?
Chloe closed her eyes in pain, trying to recall if there was any place she had missed.
Suddenly, she thought of something and stood up abruptly. She pushed the people behind her and ran outside.
