Chapter 194: Worry
Gabe’s heart raced frantically as he searched the entire farm for Arabelle. Where could she have gone? The worry for her safety mingled with the growing anxiety that she’d returned to her former self.
He’d already every corner of the farm and every inch of the scrawling land looking for some sign of her. She’d been fine when they’d fallen asleep last night. And then, when she’d bid him goodbye to go for her daily strolls. Could she have spotted something on the way that might have triggered her?
Gabe ran a hand through his hair, his guilt eating at him. He really had done something thoughtless. Arabelle wanted a normal relationship with him and instead of being in such a relationship with her, he’d been trying to keep things platonic. And now he was left here wondering if he’d made a mistake in not being with her.
The surveillance videos showed her to have walked towards this area and he could not help but wonder why she would go here. This was the furthest from their house and mostly avoided due to the wilderness. Could she have encountered something here?
Worried, he raced towards the tall grassed, calling out her name as he did.
As his mind raced with thoughts of guilt and worry and his voice turned almost hoarse with shouting, his phone buzzed in his pocket. Irritated, he pulled it out, ready to dismiss any call that wasn’t about finding Arabelle. However, the caller ID revealed it was Ian.
Pausing, his finger hovered over the screen, knowing that would definitely recognize something was wrong as soon as he heard him. Decisively he declined the call and cut through the grass calling out her name.
As he walked a bit further, his phone continued to ring persistently. Worried that something might have happened, he answered the call with an irritated," Ian, what is it? I am in the middle of something."
Before he could disconnect the call, Ian announced without any ado," G, Demon and Nora are missing. They were on a yacht and were supposed to return today. Someone attacked the yacht. Nora was kidnapped and there is no news about Demetri. We are on our way to country N to look for them. I’ve sent you the file."
