Beforeing here, Cormac was fuming, but he never expected to walk into this mess.
"I just came to understand the situation," Cormac said, ncing at Aurora. She was tiny, at least twenty pounds lighter than other kids her age, looking malnourished.
"I don''t have any money right now, so I can''tpensate you," Cormac admitted, looking down at himself. He took off his watch and handed it to Aurora. "Take this. You can sell it for some cash." Aurora hesitated, stepping back. Cormac ced the watch on the table and turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, his phone rang.
The screen disyed "Gtea." Cormac hung up, then turned off the phone and removed the SIM card.
"I''ll give you this phone, too," Cormac said, cing the turned-off phone on the table. "I won''t be needing it soon anyway."
With that, Cormac walked out.
After the call was disconnected, Sten tried calling Cormac again, but it went straight to voicemail.
"What should we do? Cormac''s phone is off," Sten said, feeling a bad premonition.
"Off?" ric, hearing this, quickly called Cormac, but no one answered.
"Does Cormac have another phone number?" Sten asked urgently.
ric was really worried. "No. I was careless. I should have had someone follow him."
"What should we do? Cormac won''tmit suicide, will he?" Sten was genuinely worried now.
With the Nash family ruined, Cormac had nothing left, not a penny to his name. He might take his own life in a moment of despair. ric quickly grabbed the car keys, and Sten said, "I''ll go with you."
Mia and the others were taking care of the kids, so they didn''t need to worry. Sten got in the car with ric to look for Cormac.
It was already dark, and at this moment, Cormac stood on the rooftop of a tall building, overlooking the city.
He had looked down on this city countless times before, but back then, he enjoyed it. Now, his feelings were entirely different.
The city was still as beautiful, still filled with countless lights, but the difference was that none of those lights were from his home. None were waiting for him to return.
All the former glory was gone, just like his future life. Cormac still had a glimmer of hope, believing that Orion''s car ident had hidden truths.
It was as if a sense of vengeance was driving him to uncover the truth, to get justice. But when Cormac saw Aurora, that drive vanished.
Calming down, Cormac realized that no matter how much ric hated Griffon, he wouldn''t do such a thing. So, the anger in his heart was actually baseless.
There was no hidden truth, no conspiracy he imagined. This was fate, making him lose both Ravenna and Orion at the same time.
Was this retribution? But what had he done wrong? He had wronged no one, yet now he was in dire straits, with no one reaching out to help him, avoiding him like the gue. The world was so big, yet it seemed there was no ce for him.
"Cormac! Cormac!" At this moment, ric and Sten arrived at the former Nash familypany.
Thepany was now sealed off. ric barged in, thinking Cormac would be there, but after searching everywhere, it was empty.
"We''ve checked all the ces Cormac used to frequent, but we couldn''t find him," Sten said, genuinely worried after searching everywhere and not finding Cormac. ric said, "Check the surveince. I''ll have someone review all the surveince in Arizona."
Arizona was vast, and this was a huge task, but there was no other option.
It was already past midnight. Cormac watched as the lights in his view gradually went out. The people in this city were all asleep, right?
Every family was warmly embracing each other while asleep But unfortunately, he no longer had a home.
As a psychologist, Cormac had never understood why someone would choose tomit suicide. If they dared to die, why didn''t they have the courage to live? But at this moment, he couldn''t convince himself otherwise. How ironic!
Cormac took one step after another toward the edge of the rooftop. He stood still, looking down at the dozens of floors below. If he jumped, it would be quick, right?
