Chapter 1420
Jonathan stood frozen, fear coursing through his veins. His emotions, which he tried so hard to control, were spiraling out of control. His blood felt as if it had turned to ice, paralyzing him.
Suddenly, he was transported back to two years ago, the day when he found out she had left him. He completely fell apart, swallowed by a wave of darkness. Since then, even breathing became torture.
Had she left him again?
Had she left him for the second time?
Jonathan felt a chill run through his body. After what felt like an eternity, he picked up his phone and dialed Estelle’s number, only to find out she had turned off her phone.
He staggered back into the living room and sank into the couch, feeling as if he were suffocating.
How long would he have to wait for her this time?
Why, despite giving her his all, did he end up like this?
Pain spread through his heart like a thousand needles. He even started to feel resentment, his heart was filled with injustice.
After a while, he picked up his phone again and dialed Millard’s number. “Check Estelle’s travel history, where did she go?”
Millard was taken aback for a moment but responded quickly.
In the darkness, Jonathan waited, each passing second felt like an eternity.
Although it was just a few minutes, it felt like two years. In those few minutes, he revisited their first meeting, their mutual understanding, and everything that happened afterward.
Asking him to give her up was like asking him to rip out his own heart. How could he live like this?
Suddenly, his phone lit up in the darkness. The urgent vibration of the phone echoed in the room, yet Jonathan’s eyes were distant. After a long moment, he picked up the phone, his fingers trembling as he unlocked it
“Where did she go?”
“Mr. Lamont, your wife didn’t leave the country; she went to C City, Millard answered, then added, “Looks like she had some urgent matter to attend to!” Jonathan was taken aback and asked hesitantly, “C City?”
“Yes!”
He felt as if a ray of light had pierced through his darkness. Jonathan immediately stood up and said, “Prepare the jet, I’m going to C City!”
“Yes, sir!” Millard responded promptly.
Just before getting on the plane, Jonathan received a text from Janice. “Jonathan, I told Estelle about your blindness. I hope you won’t be mad.”
Jonathan stared at the message, his expression hardening. She knew?
Janice. “We all like Estelle. Jonathan, you must win her over. We’re waiting to welcome her into our family.”
Jonathan’s gaze was resolute. “I will. I’m going to find her now.”
He tucked his phone away and looked out at the night sky, his racing heart slowly calming down.
It was already eleven o’clock at night. Estelle fed Mr. Jarvis some water and looked at his aged face and white hair, feeling increasingly anxious. She was only five years old when she came to live with the Jarvis family. Back then, she was almost a recluse, wary and hostile towards everything. Grandpa would chat with her every day. Even though she never responded, he continued to talk to her.
In order to make her happy, he would bring out all his precious items for her to play with. Every time she spoke, he would light up like a child.
He loved her as if she were his own granddaughter. If there was any warmth in her heart before she met Jonathan, it was certainly preserved by Grandpa.
She always thought that grandpa, like she was when she first came to the Jarvis family, would never grow old. He would always be there for her and her brother, protecting them. No matter where they went, he would always be their rock.
