Lost My Love Before Daybreak novel Chapter 9

Ivan.

Never again.

Linda was gone.

All she left behind was a single message—

[Ivan, I don’t want you anymore.]

And a signed divorce agreement.

Ivan searched everywhere she might have gone, but he found nothing.

He couldn’t find her at the company, the hospital—nowhere.

His hands trembled as they gripped the steering wheel, and a surge of overwhelming fear gripped his heart. Every beat felt like a tolling alarm.

“Linda, where are you…”

“Answer the phone! Why aren’t you answering? Please, answer!”

His brows furrowed as he shakily pressed redial over and over.

But each time, he was met with the cold, mechanical voice—

“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable…”

After countless attempts, Ivan’s composure finally began to break. Staring at the congested road ahead, he slammed his fists on the steering wheel, sounding the horn loudly.

The blaring sound didn’t alleviate his anxiety; instead, his panic only intensified.

His breathing grew rapid, each inhale shuddering slightly.

He grabbed his phone, opened WeChat, and began recording a series of voice messages in the chat with his only pinned contact.

“Linda, where did you go? Why won’t you answer my calls?”

“Didn’t you promise me I’d never lose track of you again?”

“Linda, please… please tell me where you are.”

“Today’s your blood transfusion day. Even if I made you angry, you can’t… you can’t punish me like this…”

“…Linda, don’t leave me. I’m begging you.”

Ivan let his head fall heavily against the steering wheel, his forehead soon swelling red.
