Chapter 118 Deceiving oneself and others
Flora seems to have lost her mind, allowing Theo to hold her, she no longer has a trace of strength to struggle.
The desire to cry is the most bitter torment, I’m afraid.
“Why?”
I don’t know how long it took for Flora to finally find her speech, but even though she gathered all her strength, she could only utter these three words in the end.
Theo was mute for a moment, he gently let go of Flora, those words were too cruel, he could not bear to hurt her again.
“Flora … trust me …”
Theo choked for a moment, he clasped his hands tightly Flora, but the words of consolation did not have time to say.
Only to see Flora suddenly cold and stern, her gaze tightened on Theo, her eyes desperate but vulnerable.
“Tell me!”
She struggled to suppress her roar, her tightly clenched fists bruised, her already frail body, now even more unbearable.
However, even if there is only a trace of strength to support, she can only pretend to be strong, because, she is too afraid that others can see through her heart.
“You … are taking a lot of birth control pills for a long time, so … Flora you believe me, it can be treated, you just have a small chance of getting pregnant now, it is impossible to be infertile.”
Theo said nervously, but the very small chance that has been medically determined has almost become certain, unless there is a miracle.
Theo is a doctor, but he can’t even fool himself, so how can he fool Flora?
Flora’s body swayed violently, and Theo was about to step forward to hold her, but she subconsciously dodged it, and Flora instantly fell against the wall.
She could not believe the words of others, but the person who said this was Theo, and she could not be foolish enough to deceive herself again.
Flora held the wall helplessly and moved to the elevator door step by step, obviously three or five steps away, but she seemed to have walked for a century.
“Flora …”
Theo’s heart aches as he looks at Flora, she doesn’t cry, she doesn’t make a fuss, and her calm acceptance makes his heart twist like a knife.
Can not be a mother, this is afraid of the biggest blow to a woman.
“Don’t follow me, I just beg you, don’t tell anyone about this.” Flora drank in a low voice, she didn’t want anyone to see how wretched she was.
At the same time, the elevator dropped, and Flora quickly stepped into it and closed the door.
By the time Theo reacted and chased her to the hospital entrance, the crowd coming and going could no longer find Flora in the slightest shape.
…
When Jacob reached the old house with Zoey, the door was ajar, yet there was no sign of Flora in the room.
“Flora?”
Zoey turned around the whole courtyard, the bedroom but never see Flora’s figure, do not know why, suddenly a burst of distraction.
“Don’t be anxious, the door is open, Flora must not be far away, maybe out to buy something?”
Jacob stopped a panicked Zoey, he pulled Zoey to let her sit on the sofa at ease.
He suddenly squatted down and picked up the remote control and pillow on the floor. Looking at the things scattered all over the floor, Jacob couldn’t help but frown.
Flora gave him the impression that she was always very organized and could not have scattered these things all over the floor.
“Jacob, what’s wrong with you?”
Zoey looked at the dazed Jacob could not help but shout, however she did not have time to finish her words, the phone in her bag rang impatiently, ringing louder than louder, as if urging her to hurry to answer the phone.
Zoey quickly picked up, and the caller was none other than Theo. She didn’t expect Theo to take the initiative to call her, and she couldn’t help but rejoice in her heart.
“Hello, Theo.”
Zoey was slightly nervous as she picked up.
However, there was no telling what was said on the other side, only to see Zoey’s face change drastically and she sat up violently from the sofa.
“What did you say? I know, I’ll go right now.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Zoey said impatiently.
“What’s going on?” Jacob’s gaze tightened on Zoey, and from her reaction it wasn’t hard to guess that something bad must have happened.
“Flora escaped from the hospital and is nowhere to be found, I need to hurry to find her.”
Zoey no longer cared why Flora was in the hospital, listening to Theo’s voice must have been in a hurry and had no choice but to call herself.
Theo’s voice must have been so desperate that he called himself. Hearing Zoey’s words, Jacob’s brow furrowed deeper, the matter of Flora, he did not dare to have a moment’s delay, immediately lock the door, came Zoey to leave.
Zoey had wanted to call Flora, but the phone was never connected, she was very anxious inside.
“Where could she have gone? I should have known that I would have been with her all the time. Sure enough, she was pretending all those times, how could she have withstood such a blow if she loved her cousin so much.”
Zoey said the heart does not hear the remorse, why she can not properly accompany Flora’s side, she even felt Flora call too deliberate, maybe Flora is waiting for her comfort it.
She clutched the phone tightly and kept shaking it in her hand. She kept looking out the window, afraid of missing Flora’s figure.
“Don’t be anxious, Flora is not as fragile as you think, there must be some other reason why she will be missing.”
Jacob said, subconsciously held Zoey’s hand, since childhood he did not want to hold Zoey’s hand, but I do not know why, today his heart has a kind of indescribable feeling.
Zoey is full of guilt looking ahead, Jacob for her has never been the same as Clayton, is her brother, so she does not care much.
She bit her lip tightly and finally turned her head to look at Jacob, “But …”
“No buts, Flora is from which hospital and when she disappeared, tell me all about it.”
Zoey also wanted to say something else, it was snatched by Jacob, he did not understand why, now he increasingly can not afford to see Zoey sad.
“First hospital, about two hours ago.” Zoey was honest, she didn’t know what was on Jacob’s mind.
Jacob nodded and quickly pressed the headset to his ear and with it dialed a number.
“This is Jacob, send me all the surveillance around the first hospital from two hours ago, as soon as possible.”
Jacob finished hanging up the phone directly, now at this time, driving around the city is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, it does not help.
Now the most effective way is to understand the direction Flora left as soon as possible.
Zoey nodded obediently, she only expects to find Flora as soon as possible, if possible, how she hopes to see Flora sitting on the curb waiting for her at the next intersection.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Jacob said, and called his detective friends again, asking them to help find Flora’s whereabouts.
Jacob drove the car and soon had arrived at the hospital, Zoey quickly got out and ran straight to the hospital entrance to meet up with Theo.
Theo had already retrieved the surveillance at the entrance of the hospital, but could only see the direction he Flora left from the hospital entrance, and nothing else was known.
At the same time, Jacob laptop, the surveillance around the hospital has also been sent over.
They quickly got into the car, said the direction Flora left in the surveillance, and immediately chased after them.
