Chapter 560


    After waking up from my nap, I got up and went to get something to eat from the fridge. With a bottle of


    yogurt in hand, I went to turn on the TV as I sipped on it. After a moment, my expression changed. The


    bottle slipped from my hands and fell onto the floor, sttering yogurt everywhere.


    But I wasn’t faltered by it. I was sitting on the floor staring nkly at the TV when I stood up


    suddenly. Rushing to my bedroom, I packed two sets of clothes, my travel documents, and my ID. I


    then headed for the airport without informing anyone.


    How could I have been so foolish? I hadpletely forgotten the reason I went to look for Darius after


    being shouted at by him. He tricked me with his words, and I believed him. Someone like Darius


    wouldn’t have said something so inappropriate. Those words were more likely toe out of Julia or


    Shelley. How could a man like Darius think of something like this?


    Besides, based on my understanding of him and the nd rtionship he had with Shelley, he couldn’t


    have been so sentimental. That was why he must have had thought of what to say beforehand and


    comforted me.


    Things seemed to be much more serious than I thought. Christopher was in great danger, and they


    chose to let Darius, who was the worst liar, lie to me so that I would not worry.


    I didn’t know if I should thank them or be mad at them for trying to hide it from me. Not caring about


    anything else, I rushed towards the airport. I never thought about stopping at all. I must find Christopher


    this time.


    Since he was in such great danger, I needed to go see him. I wanted to be with him no matter what. If


    everyone disapproved of this, we’ll just die together. At least that way, we’ll be together.


    While buying the ne tickets, I pulled out my phone and took a look at the message Mom had sent


    me. We’ll talk about minor things like this next time.


    I was disappointed. If something like this was minor, what was serious in her eyes? Even though Mom


    loved me after she was back, I could never feel what I felt in the past. Perhaps the years of separation


    became a wall between us. Mom would never tell me anything, and she was never there whenever I


    wanted to tell her anything.

    In the end, I told her to take care and left without any hesitation.


    “Please give me a ticket to Yorknd. I want somece that’s closest to Mapleton,” I said as I handed


    the ticket agent my money.


    I had only found out about Mapleton of Yorknd a while ago. It wasn’t the town’s original name, but


    everyone liked to call it that. Renowned for its red flowers, the town was a beautiful sight, and a lot of


    people were attracted to visit the ce. However, a fire soon burned everything down to waste, and the


    ce was rebuilt into the town now known as Mapleton.


    I sat in my seat and listened to the other passengers chat among themselves with my eyes closed. I


    slowly drifted off to sleep when I suddenly had a nightmare. In the dream, I saw blood flowing out of


    Christopher’s chest non-stop. He tried his best to walk forward but fell onto the ground after a short


    distance. The man tried to get up but had no energy left in him.


    Then, his once bright eyes darkened and slowly closed.


    “No… Chris…” I jolted awake from my dream and sat up straight in distraught. I had shouted, “Don’t


    die!” right as I woke up, waking up the other passengers on the ne. Some of them muttered their


    displeasure while a few of them asked if I was okay.


    I shook my head but said nothing before pulling the nket closer to myself. Christopher, please be


    alright. You have to wait till I find you.


    Little did I know, my screams rmed someone who was passing by earlier. The person was originally


    about to leave, but they stopped in their tracks. They then acted as though they were walking by again,


    just to take another look at me.


    I couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up from the nightmare. Whenever I closed my eyes, I would


    see Christopher in danger, his body covered in blood. So I got up and went to the restroom.


    After disembarking the ne, I walked along the unfamiliar streets. As I passed by an alley, a group of


    men came out from nowhere. One of them covered my mouth with a handkerchief as we passed by


    each other. But before I could even react, my vision darkened, and I lost consciousness.
