324 Struggle (1/2)

Liu Wei stepped out of the bathroom with an obvious frown; she had said that she would join him in the shower but although he intentionally took his time; till he finished bathing, she was nowhere to be seen.

He dabbed his hair with the towel as he called her name;

''Sunshine? ''

She wasn't in the room, so he figured she must have gone down the stairs; after drying his hair and putting on a change of clothes, he went downstairs to look for her.

''Sunshine?... ''

He called again; he opened the kitchen doors; the rooms, walked outside around the house but she was nowhere in sight. Liu Wei was getting troubled; he walked back into the house and aimed for the stairs to call her to if she had stepped out of the house;

As he passed by the parlor; his eyes caught something that was lying on the couch and his legs paused;

He turned around and walked towards the piece of paper that was lying on the couch;

As he approached, his heart began beating erratically;

It was her handwriting and it was a short letter.

Liu Wei sat down on the couch and he read the words;

''Baby,

I'll be away for a while; I need to sort out something which I know you'll find out soon. I love you so much but I couldn't risk this. I'm sorry for not telling you, I know you would be mad but please trust me on this. I promise to come back safely to you.

Your Sunshine.

As soon as Liu Wei finished reading the letter, he stood up and raced upstairs;

He grabbed his phone and called her number,

It was not reachable.

His heart raced rapidly; it took him some minutes to come to terms with the fact that she left him.

What could be so tragic as to get her to leave without telling him? Does she even care how he would survive without her and she left like that, without telling him what was wrong?

Even if it was so bad, she would have at least told him what was wrong so he would know how he would be of help. It was frustrating and sad; didn't she trust him enough to help? Weren't they married, why was she bearing her burden alone?

Liu Wei didn't know whether to be sad or angry;

Sad that she was away or angry that she didn't tell him something as important as to make her leave him…
