It was starting to get dark.
William walked out of the hospital in a trance. He looked around, but didn't know where he was going.
'Mary, where did you go?'
William took out his phone and dialed a number. "Watts, find out where Mary's hiding. No matter where she is, find her for me!"
"Affirmative, sir!"
William hung up the phone and squeezed it tightly. There were so many people who had come and gone in the hospital, but none of them was the person he was looking for.
"Ring, ring, ring! "
The phone in his hand rang out of the blue. William immediately answered it.
"Hello? Mary? Is that you? Mary!" His voice trembled with so much anxiety and expectation.
"Hello, is this William Lan?"
A calm man's voice came through the phone.
William's excitement died down. He frowned and answered in a calmer voice, "Yes, it's me."
"Hello, Mr. Lan. I'm a lawyer from the South Mountain Law Firm. My surname is Zhang. A few days ago, Mary Lu asked me to..."
"Where is she? Tell me!"
Before Lawyer Zhang could finish his words, the pupils of William suddenly shrank and he roared, "Where is Mary? Answer me!"
"Well..." Lawyer Zhang sounded like he was bewil
shook his head. Yesterday, a man came to find Mary, with the same expression as the man in front of him, and he didn't ask much. What in the world was happening?
Then the old man turned around and left.
When William came to the place that the old man pointed, he saw a solitary gravestone. The soil around the grave was freshly dug.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
William knelt down in front of the grave.
He still remembered how Mary's mother held his hand and asked him to take good care of Mary when he had met her for the first time. He still remembered how her mother said that Mary was not good enough for him and asked him to take it easy on her...
But now, she was gone forever.
He could almost see how Mary broke down in front of her mother's grave.
But where was he during her most trying moment? He was somewhere else, thinking that Victor had taken her away, and he even blamed her for it!
Tears started to fall from the corner of his eyes. He bit his lip and buried his face under his palm.
'Mary, where are you? Where on earth have you gone?'
William didn't know how he returned to A City and Kylin International Community.
