Vincent assisted Adam as they walked toward the hospital’s outpatient department, but before leaving, he didn’t forget to instruct Albert
to search for Siema &
As soon as they were gone, Veronica’s true nature surfaced. She turned to Albert with a menacing glare, and spat, “If you dare say anything out of line, I’ll tear your mouth off
Albert looked at her, bewildered, but quickly turned and walked away without another word.
At that moment, the hospital room door opened, and Louise stepped out. Her face was noticeably flushed with color!
Veronica glanced toward where Albert had left, a flicker of worry creeping onto her face. “Louise, do you think that Albert knows something?”
Suddenly, her expression hardened. “Do you think we should._.?”%
She made a slicing motion across her throat,
Louise’s face darkened. “Mom, if he went to the construction site to handle things and was accidentally killed by a fallen brick, or if the workers got violent and killed him, that would be a ‘normal accident, right?”
Hearing this, Veronica’s face lit up with twisted delight, admiration shining in her eyes as she looked at Louise. “That’s my daughter–so clever and resourceful,”
“I should have never adopted that troublemaker, Sierra. Not only did she steal your marriage, but now she’s trying to run away, thinking she
can do whatever she wants!”
“I should have left her in the countryside, and let that person give her a good beating.”
Louise remained silent, but a look of satisfaction and malice flickered in her eyes.X
Meanwhile, Vincent had just escorted Adam to the consultation room and attempted to call Sierra again. Once more, there was no
answer.X
He furrowed his brows and looked at Adam. “Dad, do you know when Sierra canceled her identity?”
“What? Sierra canceled her identity?” Adam stood up abruptly, disbelief written all over his face.
Vincent studied him with a probing gaze. “Dad, why are you reacting like this?%
Adam hesitated for a moment before replying, “1… I just didn’t expect Sierra to be so bold to actually cancel her identity.”
Vincent pursed his lips. “Yes, that’s very bold“}
In his mind, Sierra had always been obedient and gentle, never one to act out of line.”
Even when he came home late from social events, she would always be waiting for him patiently in the living room.
Because he once told her he couldn’t bear to see her suffer, she had quit her job without hesitation, devoting herself entirely to being his wife.
But now, something felt different.
This strange, indescribable feeling gnawed at him, and all he wanted was to find her
Perhups finding Sierra was the only way to calm the unease in his heart.
“Dad, you stay here and get checked out. I’ll go look for Sierra,” Vincent said, unable to shake his growing concern.
He turned to leave, but Adam grabbed his wrist.ll
“Vince, stay with me here. You know Louise needs someone with her right now. Your mother can’t leave, and I’m just an old man, I’m
His voice carried a hint of melancholy, his entire demeanor weighed down by an air of sorrowX
Vincent hesitated, conflict flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he gently pushed Adam’s hand away. “Dad, I’ll leave two bodyguards with you. If you need anything, just tell them.”
“As for Sierra, I still want to find her myself. She loves me so much–there’s no way she would leave like this.
“I think there must be some misunderstanding. As for canceling her identity, she’s probably just conspiring with her friends as some kind of prank
Even now.
Vincent refused to believe that Sierra no longer loved him.X
