Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 

Keira, I don’t want to live anymore.] 

I stared at it for a few seconds, my pulse racing. Without thinking, I called her on voice chat. She didn’t pick up. 

I wasn’t giving up. I dialed Demi’s number again. Still no answer. So I tried her office instead. 

“Is Demi there?” I asked as soon as someone picked up. 

“She’s on leave,” the voice on the other end said, and for a second, it felt like my heart had dropped into my stomach. Before I could even ask anything else, the guy added, “Are you Ms. Kay?” 

I hadn’t expected him to recognize my voice. 

I 

“Yeah, that’s me. Do you k why Demi’s on leave? How long is she off for?” I pressed, starting to panic. “She took personal leave, I think for three days. She’s supposed to be back tomorrow. If you’re looking for her, you could try her cell,” he replied politely, even though I was no longer the CEO’s fiancee. 

I was genuinely worried about Demi, so I pressed further. “I’ve tried calling her, but it’s not going through. Is there any other way to reach her?” 

“No, I’m afraid not.” 

The bluntness of that response made my anxiety spike Something was definitely wrong with Demi, but being stuck here made it impossible for me to check on her in person. 

I had to ask for help. “This is urgent. I’ve tried everything. Can you please go check on her? Like, now? I’ll call your department head and explain.” 

“….Alright, I’ll go after my shift.” 

But I couldn’t wait that long. 

“Go now. Just let your department head know- I’ll sort it out with them.” 

“Understood, Ms. Kay.” 

The 

person agreed, and I quickly hung up, dialing Demi’s supervisor. Thankfully, they were cool about it and gave me the green light immediately. Even though I wasn’t technically their boss anymore, it seemed like they still didn’t want to mess with me–especially with my connection to the Johnstons. 

When the call ended, I stared at Demi’s message again, my stomach in knots. I quickly typed out a series 

of texts. 

[What’s going on? Why aren’t you picking up?] 

[You’ve always said nothing matters more than surviving this crazy world. What happened to that? Why would you even think about giving up now?] 

[Demi, please. Think about your parents. Think about the people who care about you. If you hurt yourself, I swear I won’t forgive you.] 

[Demi, please just reply.]
