“Landy, I only have you. If you don’t want me anymore, I might as well die,” said Reba.

Reba’s tone turned softer as she said.
Ultimately, she hung up the phone without waiting for Ondo’s response and drove away from
Dustmeadow Mansion, wanting to go to the Quinn manor and get an exnation for getting such a
treatment.
Ondo assumed that Reba couldn’t ept what he said, so he nned to exin to her after
returning to Dustmeadow Mansion at night.
However. Reba never came back.
Ondo contacted her but didn’t receive an answer. He then called Sophia, who only informed him she
hadn’t met Reba.
He suddenly couldn’t get in touch with Reba. With the weather in Broburgh nowadays being bad, it
was raining heavily at
that moment.
It was already past ten o’clock at night.
Ondo frowned slightly with indifference. Finally, he called Taylor and ordered, “Check the
surveince cameras and find out where Reba went from Dustmeadow Mansion today.”
“Noted. Will check it right away, Taylor responded immediately.
He then informed Ondo of the results about half an hourter.
Reba had wandered around with her car after leaving Dustmeadow Mansion. When the night came,
she went to have a drink and then recklessly drove towards the Quinn manor but took the wrong
intersection halfway. Since there were no surveince cameras on the rest of the way, her whereabouts
became unknown.
The rain was getting heavier. Ondo frowned and told Taylor, “Look for her immediately. Call the
police for assistance,
too.”
“Noted,” Taylor responded.
After ending the conversation, Ondo entered the bedroom.
Cassandra had juste out of the shower. When their eyes met, Ondo said calmly, “Reba’s
missing.”
Cassandra didn’t respond.
Ondo looked sullen and whispered, ‘Cassandra, don’t you think you shouldn’t tell her that today? I
can tell her myself.”
Cassandra looked at Ondo and replied, “I don’t think I said anything wrong. You’re ming me for
making Reba disappear?
Cassandra didn’t think she was wrong as Reba provoked her first.
Ondo said, “I don’t mean to me you. I just want you to understand that if you didn’t tell Reba,
she might not have gone missing on the way to the Quinn manor by now.”
After that, he picked up a coat and left after ncing at Cassandra.
Cassandra stood before the window and watched Ondo drive into the rain and leave Dustmeadow
Mansion.
Chapter 49
Ondo drove alone to meet Taylor. The car was speeding fast in the night, with the rain getting
heavier and lightning struck.
The lightning could be seen clearly through the window, and the deafening sound of thunder made
Cassandra’s heart. pound.
Reba went missing on the way to the Quinn manor and lost contact with Ondo. Although
Cassandra didn’t like Reba, she didn’t wish for her to get lost in remote ces and heavy
downpours.
At the thought of Ondo’s indifferent yet cold expression when he mentioned Cassandra telling
Reba about them not getting a divorce, Cassandra could still feel Ondo’s displeasure even
though his tone was no different from usual.
Ondo didn’t get mad, probably considering Cassandra had just been discharged and was still
recovering-
Yet, the more Cassandra, thought about it, the more upset she felt. For Reba’s sake, Ondo risked
himself to find her in the rain, so Cassandra assumed he must love Reba very much..
He must love her more than he imagined, Cassandra thought with a bitter smile.
The rain seemed to get heavier with a bolt of lightning struck fiercely in the sky.
Cassandra pursed her lips and felt a little uneasy.
Sometimeter, she was awakened from her sleep by her phone ringing.
After checking that it was an unfamiliar number, she immediately answered the call with a quickened
heartbeat, “Hello?”
The caller said. “Mrs. Quinn, it’s me. Can youe to the hospital now? Mr. Quinn had a car ident
and is now in the operating room…”
The call was from Taylor.
Cassandra’s mind went nk, and she didn’t listen to the rest of the conversation. Her face turned
numbly indifferent, with. her bodypletely frozen.
She asked in a trembling voice, “What happened?”
“Mr. Quinn had a car ident on the road… Taylor said.
The phone fell from Cassandra’s sudden–loosened hand. She immediately sat up with her eyes
trembling slightly. Her voice sounded wavered as she said, “Okay… I’ll be right there…”
Cassandra changed her clothes and went downstairs speedily. It was already three o’clock in the
morning, with rain pouring outside. All of Cassandra’s thoughts had gone to Ondo’s car ident and
him being treated.
She didn’t alert others and drove to the hospital.
Along the way, she could only pray that Ondo would be fine, feeling her heartbeat thump heavily.
Standing outside the operating room an hourter, Cassandra looked pale while staring at the opened
door with a hollow gaze. When the nurses and doctors pushed the surgical cart out, Cassandra
immediately approached and asked hoarsely,
“How is he?”
A doctor replied, “The patient’s condition turned stable after the emergency treatment. No life–
threatening injuries were found, but there is a fracture on his leg and multiple abrasions on his body.
We’ll have to wait until he wakes up to know
more.
Hearing the answer, Cassandra finally felt at ease..
Chapter 49
However, she felt weak and subconsciously sank to the floor. Taylor immediately helped her up and
asked, “Mrs. Quinn, are you okay?”
I’m fine. Take Ondo back to the ward first,” replied Cassandra.
Taylor had alreadypleted the check–in procedures and arranged for Ondo to stay in an
independent VIP ward.
The doctor and turses left after giving some advice.
Looking at Ondo with wounds on his face, Cassandra felt an indescribable feeling surge in her heart.
She knew that Ondo’s injuries had nothing to do with her, and he did it for the most important woman
in his heart.
Cassandra found it ridiculous.
She pursed her lips tightly and felt heartbroken.
Taylor noticed Cassandra’s gloomy face and was well aware of the reason Ondo caused himself into
such a state.
He walked to Cassandra and whispered, “Mrs. Quinn, don’t worry. Mr. Quinn will be fine.”
I hope so.” Cassandra responded lightly. With the atmosphere turning silent, Taylor didn’t know what to
say anymore.
The effect of the anesthetic on Ondo would not pass until dawn. Cassandra sat down beside the bed
without getting sleep. During the wait, Taylor poured Cassandra a ss of water and reminded her to
rest on the couch, but thetter refused.
With her heart in turmoil, Cassandra couldn’t sleep at all.
Ondo had said they would not divorce for the time being, but the next second, he got hospitalized
from a car ident for his loved one. If Cassandra could have a choice, she would rather get a divorce.
After some time, the rain slowly stopped, and the sky gradually turned bright.
Taylor bought breakfast and said, “Mrs. Quinn, you should eat something.”
“No thanks. I’ll eat after going back, Cassandra replied as she nced at Ondo. The anesthetic’s
effect should be over soon, but she didn’t intend to face Ondo at this moment because she did not
know what to tell him.
Cassandra looked at Taylor and asked, “Where’s Reba?”
