Chapter 1023 A Glimmer Of Hope (1/2)

Carla did not leave the place. She searched for Terence until it was dark. Her expectant eyes peered across bushes, caves, and just about any spot that was capable of hiding a person. But Terence was nowhere to be found.

Disappointment resided in the pit of her stomach. But she was not ready to give up.

”Mrs. An, you need to rest. We can't just look for him at random places. What if Mr. An was abducted and did not fall off the cliff?”

Carol held Carla's hand and looked into her eyes. Carla was exhausted but her heart was burning with determination. She wouldn't rest until she found him.

Carla looked up at the dark sky and collapsed to the ground. ”Terence, where the hell are you? Where are you?” she wailed as fresh tears cascaded down her cheeks.

”Please come back. The kids and I need you.

I cannot live without you. Please come back to me, Terence,” she screamed, hoping for her words to miraculously reach Terence's ears.

Her entire body was shaking. She felt as if someone had taken a part of her soul. Her lips trembled with fear and pain. Hot tears slipped down her face and landed on the grass. Carla always knew that she was in love with Terence. But in this moment, she realized that he had blended in her soul. She had never loved anyone as much as she had loved Terence. He was her life, her purpose for existence.

”Mr. Su, please stop! Mrs. An doesn't want to see you.”

Rainer quickly stepped forward and stopped Steven.

”I just want to see her,”

Steven said. His eyes were fixed on Carla who was slumped on the ground.

Steven could only imagine what Carla must be going through. He couldn't see her like this. He wanted to be there for her and help her find him.

”Mr. Su...”

Rainer shouted, but Steven was already walking towards Carla.

”Callie.”

Steven's heart broke when Carla's swollen eyes met his. Her face was puffy and her eyes were bloodshot. She hadn't stopped crying.

”Stop crying, please. We should be glad that we haven't found him yet. It means that

und check on his business partners.”
