For two days, 48 hours, 2,880 minutes, and 172,200 seconds, Mo Jiangye continued to stand erect amid the chilling blizzard.
There were countless moments when he wanted to dash into the house just to check on her, but he would then forcefully suppress the urge.
He missed her so, so much.
In those two days, he did not drink or sleep at all. Finally, the sun rose on the horizon again…
When he saw no movement coming from the house, he could not hold it in any longer. His bloodshot eyes looked worse than ever as he stepped into the front yard. Since Ye Erruo had fallen ill, he had hardly slept or eaten.
“Young Master, let’s just wait a little more.”
The man paced back and forth in front of the door. He had endured two days of nerve-wracking waiting in his freezing body. She was supposed to come out on the third day…
Finally, his henchman could not bear to see him suffer anymore and went to knock on the door. “Hello, is Young Madam okay now?”
There was no reply.
The assistant knocked a couple more times in vain.
PLOD! Mo Jiangye looked up abruptly, marched to the door, and threw a hard kick with his foot.
He stumbled forward unsteadily as the door went crashing down.
He anxiously ran in, only to find an empty bed. His pupils contracted instantly!
He dashed to another room, calling for his love. “Baby Ruo!”
No, no! She isn’t here either!
He lost it completely as he ransacked the place, searching room after room to no avail. Fear, panic, and confusion hit him all at once as blood surged to his head without mercy.
“Young Master!”
Bo Yu cried in alarm as he caught hold of the man while the latter collapsed on the ground. Half a month of torment, in combination with going without sleep and food while caring for his wife, had taken its toll on him at once. The man’s strong and fearless physique had finally given in.
She had disappeared from his life, and his world had collapsed because of her absence…
…
At the Zhuang Ge Residence…
“Doctor, please.” Bo Yu and the bodyguards hastily brought their master back to the bedroom.
The estate was in upheaval again. When the servants found out that their Young Madam had gone missing, a sense of dread overtook them instantly.
Meanwhile, Bo Yu’s forehead was filled with cold beads of perspiration.
How did our Young Madam disappear into thin air?
Someone sent a report to him a few minutes later. There had been a hidden escape route at the back of the room.
When the assistant realized that their Young Madam had been kidnapped, he launched a massive search without further ado. All he asked was for a lead, any lead, on her before their master woke up…
The man, however, merely slept for two hours before he woke up.
“S-Sir, Young Master has woken up.” A servant ran over to him and reported this with a stammer.
Bo Yu drew in a sharp breath. After half a month of looking after his wife tirelessly without resting, his master had woken up in just two hours?
“S-Sir… Sir…” Another servant came tumbling out of the room, crawling on the floor as she called out for him.
“What is it?”
“Y-Young Master is looking for you.”
The maid’s stuttering became worse after the scare she received from Mo Jiangye.
“Alright.” The assistant returned to the upper storey stoically, ready to face his death sentence.
When he entered the bedroom, it was strangely quiet.
The servants and the doctor stood in two rows on the side with their heads bowed. No one dared to look at the man on the bed.
“Young Master!”
“Have you found her?” His frigid eyes were too terrifying to look at.
“Not yet, master.”
“He he!” He sniggered. Suddenly, he jumped up from the bed and aimed a lethal punch right at his assistant.
It was his assistant who had told him that his beloved Baby Ruo was possessed. The dude had gone on to persuade him that he would find someone with a supernatural ability to exorcise the spirit so that she would return to him safe and sound.
But what was the result?
She had gone in and never returned.
BANG!
Bo Yu was sent crashing into the cupboard nearby before his body slumped heavily against the ground.
The servants and doctor standing next to him dared not move.
“Pfft!” Bright red blood spurted from the young master’s mouth as his fist landed limply on the floor.
“Master!” Bo Yu was shocked to see his master collapse again.
