Chapter 218: I was chosen for it
Casaio entered Zilia’s room, but he didn’t find her there. Then, he went to the kitchen, but she wasn’t there either. There was a presence of soft scent in the house, but it wasn’t strong.
"Where did she go?" Casaio murmured and called her. However, Zilia’s phone was unreachable. He strode towards the elevator and walked inside.
He kept calling Zilia, but it wasn’t connecting.
’I severed the bond with her. How am I supposed to find her? What if something happens to Zilia? How am I going to live?’
Many thoughts raced in his mind at once, which were haunting and scary.
As he stepped out of the elevator, he dashed out of the main entrance of the tall building.
’Zilia can’t die. She has to live... For me... For her brother,’ Casaio thought, realizing how strong his feelings were even after so much conspired between them.
Like a fool, he ran through the streets, not even thinking of taking a vehicle to the supermarket. His only focus was Zilia. Though his speed was faster, many people did notice him and a few even clicked his pictures.

Meanwhile, Zilia asked the store owner to stop at a certain point in the CCTV footage. She had spotted the bald man exiting the supermarket shortly after she left with Casaio.
"Ma’am, there’s nothing more after this. The outside CCTVs haven’t been working since yesterday," the owner informed her.
