Chapter 99: Where Is My Wife?
When Matthias opened his eyes, he was immediately shocked to see his wife’s figure had disappeared. He immediately sat up, shaking his head, clutching the blanket tightly. How foolish he had been to fall asleep in such a critical situation. He had vowed to wake up early so he could see his wife one last time before she left. However, now that opportunity had vanished from his life. He hoped his wife would return soon. The thought of her traveling alone terrified him.
"Victoria, I hope you’re doing well on your solo adventure out there."
Matthias didn’t want to stay in bed any longer. He wanted to cook breakfast for his wife, but that didn’t work out. However, as he walked into the dining room, he noticed the table was covered with various dishes and a small note had been placed there.
He took a small piece of paper and read the message from his wife.
"Matthias, when you wake up, you have to finish all my cooking. I’ve worked so hard to make it for you. I hope you really enjoy it. I’ve also prepared food in the fridge for tonight. Don’t forget to heat it up."
Tears streamed down his cheeks. Tasting his wife’s cooking made his heart break even more. He could feel her sincerity in preparing all these dishes. If only he had woken up earlier, he would have hugged her until she was satisfied. But now, he wasn’t allowed to contact her.
"You really are cruel to me. Couldn’t you have waited until I woke up?"
The only bright idea to find his wife was to ask Jennifer. He guessed she was still in contact with Jennifer, as it was impossible for her to be hostile towards her best friend. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about her condition.
After breakfast, Matthias decided to visit Jennifer’s house. Luckily, he knew Jennifer’s address thanks to Sawyer’s earlier notification. He hoped his wife would choose to stay at Jennifer’s house as well, as it was the safest place.
As Matthias entered the residence, he kept shouting his wife’s name. He didn’t care if Jennifer kept laughing at him; he just wanted to make sure his wife was staying here for a while.
