It was a sleepless night.
I fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, but I did not sleep well.
Early the next morning, I got up and hurriedly picked up my phone to glance at the news update.
When the words ‘no results from the search’ came into view, it felt like a bolt from the blue.
I got up, took a brief shower, packed my luggage, and went downstairs.
Perhaps they heard me dragging my suitcase, but Drover and Marius both trotted toward me. Drover grabbed my suitcase and tried telling me, "Wanda, don't be rash."
Marius was also coaxing me. "Yes, Sis Wan. It's useless for you to go there directly like this."
"Then should I just stay here and cling to the news? I've read it all. The media reported that the search for Theo has been fruitless. It might’ve been a narrow escape. Beside, the identities of the five deceased have not yet been revealed. I have to go." My eyes flashed with a firm glint.
I did not want to sit still here. I had heard that they landed in Garland, which was not very far from Whaldorf City, so I decided to go. I was not acting impulsively. I had thought of everything.
My eyes landed on my suitcase in Drover's hand. I reached out to take it, but he pulled it back. "Have you bought your ticket?"
"No, it’ll be the same if I just buy it on the spot." I knew what they were worried about. I exhaled and tried my best to look calm. I pursed my lower lip and looked at them with a calm gaze. "Don't worry, I've thought it through. It’ll take three days at most. I’ll come back if I can’t find him.”
After all, Munchkin was still here, and I had to come back to take care of him.
Sighing, Drover looked helpless. "Alright, if you insist on going, I’ll accompany you. Wait for me for a moment.”
He also took my suitcase with him to prevent me from leaving first.
I did not reject him as I did not want to waste time.
"Thank you." I looked at him and thanked him sincerely.
Drover smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing. It’s just a trivial matter. But have you ever thought about what you’re going to do if you can't find President Grant there, or you find him but it’s not the result you want?”
His question was so hard for me to answer.
It was not that I had not thought about it, but I did not dare think about it. I did not know if I could bear it.
After a long silence, I replied, "If I can’t find him, I'll come back and wait. But if I do find him..."
I did not dare complete that sentence, but he could probably understand what I meant. I continued after some time, "I'll accept my fate."
Drover sighed and said nothing more at that answer.
