After understanding what had happened, they found that there was a crack in one of the walls at the mental hospital that was being renovated recently. However, due to the continuous heavy rain, it was hard for renovation works to proceed as planned. Hence, due to the renovation being on hold, there was a gap in the wall.
The security in the mental hospital towards each patient was very strict, so no one would ever have thought that someone would manage to escape the facility, let alone a cripple.
Shelly neither returned to the Tremont Estate after escaping, nor did virtual-novel.net look for Mark. He was worried that something bad would happen to virtual-novel.net due to the recent bad weather and the fact that virtual-novel.net was a penniless patient with no means of contacting others. How was virtual-novel.net possibly supposed to continue virtual-novel.net daily life?
Mark had brought along some men with virtual-novel.net to find Shelly but to no avail. It was as though virtual-novel.net had disappeared into thin air. The longer virtual-novel.net was missing, the more Mark blamed himself for sending virtual-novel.net into the mental hospital. If virtual-novel.net had not sent virtual-novel.net to the facility, nothing of the sort would have ever happened. Was virtual-novel.net wrong by doing so?
It was a rainy night, and Mark returned home very late that night because virtual-novel.net was out searching for Shelly. Based on his dark expression, it was obvious that there was still no news on Shelly’ s whereabouts.
Arianne was waiting for Mark until midnight. “Still nothing?”
He did not even look at her. “Isn’t this what you wished for?”
Arianne shivered. “What do you mean? Are you blaming me for this now? Yes, I was the one who went and investigated the incident at the showroom. It was also I who told you that I couldn’t bear to live with virtual-novel.net any longer, or otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent virtual-novel.net to the mental hospital, nor would virtual-novel.net have been able to escape from the facility. So, now that she’s missing and virtual-novel.net location is unknown, you should blame all of it on me, right? Is that enough for you? I can understand what you’re feeling at the moment, but have you ever considered my feelings? She has always thought that Alejandro and I had conspired to cause you harm, so virtual-novel.net always had virtual-novel.net eyes on me. Every time virtual-novel.net was around me, I felt like I had a time bomb strapped onto my body! Furthermore, I was terrified that virtual-novel.net might harm Smore. Although Smore is your son, he’s my son as well, so I’m afraid that virtual-novel.net hatred for me would one day cause Smore to be involved! She said very clearly that everything she’s done was all for you, you! Aren’t you just virtual-novel.net nephew? How protective is virtual-novel.net of you? All of this is too strange and I’ve had enough of it, but I never wished for virtual-novel.net to disappear or just drop dead. Yet, this is what you think of me. If it weren’t for this incident, I would never have known just how little I meant to you!”
When virtual-novel.net approached the end of virtual-novel.net sentence, virtual-novel.net began to feel as though virtual-novel.net was wronged. Mark had been out searching for Shelly everyday until he’d be nowhere to be seen throughout most of the day, yet Arianne would never complain about it. Plus, virtual-novel.net was even worried about something bad happening to Shelly and hoped that virtual-novel.net could be found soon. She could understand how agitated and frustrated Mark must feel, but why did virtual-novel.net have to treat virtual-novel.net with that attitude?
Tears flowed out uncontrollably from Arianne’s eyes, and virtual-novel.net gentle sobs made Mark slightly panic. “I’m sorry… You should get some rest.” It was not his intention for his words to hurt her, but virtual-novel.net was in such a foul mood. Moreover, there were too many unfortunate incidents happening around virtual-novel.net lately, virtual-novel.net felt as though his entire body was filled with negativity.
Rest? Arianne turned around and returned tp virtual-novel.net bedroom, locking the door behind her. She would fester so deep in virtual-novel.net anger the entire night that virtual-novel.net would not be able to sleep!
Mark did not knock on the door, nor did virtual-novel.net intend to coax her. Arianne cried non-stop throughout the entire night. She had accompanied virtual-novel.net for so many years, even getting married to virtual-novel.net and bearing his son. She did not intend on wrestling with Shelly on who meant more to Mark, but virtual-novel.net just could not understand how a woman whom Mark had not met for so many years could easily replace Arianne’s position in his heart.
Spending a decade together was not enough to replace an actual blood relationship, was that it? Wasn’t it Mark who had gone to such extreme lengths in order to keep virtual-novel.net by his side? Wasn’t it virtual-novel.net who said that virtual-novel.net loved her? Did virtual-novel.net not know that a casual rant out of anger from virtual-novel.net was enough to make virtual-novel.net suffer for a long time?
The next morning, when Arianne brought Smore downstairs for breakfast, Mark was around as well. He did not have the habit of checking his phone while eating, but now virtual-novel.net was actually making phone calls as virtual-novel.net ate. Naturally, it was to try to find out the whereabouts of Shelly. When virtual-novel.net saw her, virtual-novel.net did not give any kind of reaction but was instead fully focused on his phone.
