âFind her!â
Ryan slammed his palm on the window, his eyes narrowing into an anxious curve. âEven if you flip over
the villa, you must find my wife!â
âYes! Iâll take some men to search around now!â
Yasmin immediately left.
The room returned to silence. Ryanâs tense emotions finally eased a little, enabling him to think calmly.
At this moment, he faintly heard a soft sobbing sound, and his heart tightened.
âCarrie!â
Ryan was overjoyed, following the sound as he strode toward the bedroom.
The weak sobs became clearer, causing his heart to be in pain,
Finally, he stopped in front of the wardrobe in the bedroom. Th were more apparent, accompanied by
sounds of fabric rustling
Ryan opened the wardrobe door slowly. The next second, his wrenched in so much pain that he could
not breathe.
Carrieâs frail body curled into a ball like a kitten that could not fin way home, hiding and shivering in a
dark corner.
She hugged herself tightly, her soaked hair sticking to her forehe
She was starting to feel deprived of oxygen after hiding here for a long time, and her delicate face
turned bright red from the lack of air.
âRyanâ¦â
Once she saw Ryan, Carried could not hold back anymore and cried her heart out, her pale lips
cracking. Crystal-like tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. âIs Linny dead⦠Is Linny really dead?â
Her tears fell on Ryanâs heart, creating bloody dents in his already- aching heart.
He reached out his strong arms and carried her soaked body out of the wardrobe.
When Ryan touched Carrieâs skin, he immediately panicked.
Her body burned like a furnace. It was evident that she had been hiding in the wardrobe for too long.
Ryanâs tears welled up, and even his comforting voice choked up. Sorry. Sorry, Carrieâ¦â
He did not know what else to say and could only apologize repeatedly while feeling like a mess.
âLinny⦠Really died? Is it trueâ¦â Carried kept asking without tired of it.
âShe merely went to another world that was better and happier answered patiently.
In the end, perhaps due to exhaustion, grief, and a lack of oxygen Carried fell into a deep slumber.
Ryan immediately got the Hoffman familyâs doctor to examine her situation, only feeling assured when
he knew it was due to excessive grief and low blood sugar. A drip and some rest would be sufficient.
He kneeled on a knee by Carrieâs bedside, holding her hand tightly. His lips lingered around her arm,
feeling uneasy.
âMr. Hoffman, the car is waiting for you. We should go.â
Yasmin hesitated for a moment and then whispered, âIf you canât bear to leave Young Madam Carrie,
just donât go. Iâll take your place. Itâs dangerous to catch a criminal in Terranova, and things are not the
same anymore. You have someone you care about now. Itâs better to stóp interfering with matters like
this.â
âNo, I must go.â
Ryan pressed Carrieâs hand to his chest. His gaze was reluctant, but his tone was firm and unwavering.
I promised Justin. He is like my brother; I must help him. Moreover, if that bastard didnât kill Linny,
would things turn out like this? Could my wife fall sick from crying?
Fuck. When I catch that bastard, heâll regret being born!â
With the Hoffman familyâs ruthlessness, that man could never
Terranova alive with all his limbs intact.
However, Justin insisted on bringing him back alive to let Bella with him, making the mission much
more difficult. How could h lend a hand?
âThen you must be extra careful on this mission. I prepared bulletproof vests for you and Mr. Salvador,
so you must wear then
