Chapter 410: A Different Story
Luca looked around at the world that seemed to have both changed and remained the same. He remembered walking this road before, when they were trying to get into the Sanctuary, but there was no way Hattie would go back there.
Not when the house was finally back to normal.
It had almost been an entire day since they had last noticed Hattie. Chang Xuefeng had told them that she was fine, and that Tank was with her, but that didn’t really make Luca calm. Anything could have happened to her, and yet, no one seemed to care.
Letting out a controlled breath, he continued to follow where he felt Hattie was. Because he hadn’t offered up his soul to her yet, he couldn’t track her that way, but he still had an uncanny ability to hunt her down.
Fighting against the need to hurry up, Luca continued to look around meticulously. Maybe one of the reasons why he was so upset was because he was feeling guilty. When he had undergone his test, he had made the commitment in his head to be a better partner to Hattie, but he knew he had fallen short.
Out of the jungle and back in the familiar environment of the house, the words of offering seemed to stick in his throat every time he opened his mouth.
Now, it had taken him hours to realize that she wasn’t even in the same house as him.
The road in front of him vibrated, kicking small rocks and dirt up, causing Luca to choke on a cloud of dust. Looking up, he saw a jeep rushing toward him, the dust it was picking up obscuring his vision of whatever was behind it.
But based on the earth’s rumbling, it had to be more cars.
