Chapter 1026 Saved By Linda (1/2)

But it was already too late.

The helicopter had already descended towards the gangsters. When it was close enough, a policeman onboard had swiftly aimed at the tire of the getaway car with utmost precision before pulling the trigger. The tire exploded, causing the vehicle to drift dangerously. And as if they were running out of time, the policemen briskly jumped out of the aircraft, surrounding the busted car instantly, leaving the people inside with now chance to escape. One by one, they got out of the car, with their hands over their heads.

Carla rushed to the house situated at the top of the mountain. Her irrational fear was now slowly getting into her nerves as she got close to it. And that same fear almost paralyzed her when they found the whole house empty. Terence was nowhere to be found!

”Mrs. An, don't worry. We will interrogate them to know the whereabouts of Mr. An! We will soon find him!”

Carol firmly assured her as she squeezed Carla's hand.

Finding the room empty made Carla fall into utter hopelessness. She initially thought she was going to find Terence. Now, his absence seemed to intensify the indescribable feelings gnawing within her.

Nathan frowned as he patiently explained to Carla, revealing the risk. More than two doses of this drug spelled nothing but the compromised safety of Mr. An risking an overdose.

Since the police had captured the goons that they found in the hideout, he must interrogate them.

”Nathan, please hurry! He won't have gone too far...” Carla pleaded as panic gripped her after hearing what Nathan said. With clouded thinking, she rushed out of the hideout and started to search for Terence herself.

The sun was up. It was another beautiful day.

”Getting herbs again, Linda?”

an old lady greeted Linda, who was holding a bamboo basket with both hands.

”Yes, my mother felt much better after applying the new herbs. The doctor ordered me to pick them at this time. They are fresher in the morning,”

Linda cheerfully replied. After fixing the straw hat on her head, she waved goodbye to the old lady. Wearing a pair of black boots, she strolled up to the mountain.

The kind of herb she wanted was hard to find. It only grew in dense forests and had to be meticulously searche
