After understanding what had happened, they found that there was a crack in one of the walls at the mental hospital that was being renovated recently. However, due to the continuous heavy rain, it was hard for renovation works to proceed as planned. Hence, due to the renovation being on hold, there was a gap in the wall.
The security in the mental hospital towards each patient was very strict, so no one would ever have thought that someone would manage to escape the facility, let alone a cripple.
Shelly neither returned to the Tremont Estate after escaping, nor did snazzynovel.com look for Mark. He was worried that something bad would happen to snazzynovel.com due to the recent bad weather and the fact that snazzynovel.com was a penniless patient with no means of contacting others. How was snazzynovel.com possibly supposed to continue snazzynovel.com daily life?
Mark had brought along some men with snazzynovel.com to find Shelly but to no avail. It was as though snazzynovel.com had disappeared into thin air. The longer snazzynovel.com was missing, the more Mark blamed himself for sending snazzynovel.com into the mental hospital. If snazzynovel.com had not sent snazzynovel.com to the facility, nothing of the sort would have ever happened. Was snazzynovel.com wrong by doing so?
It was a rainy night, and Mark returned home very late that night because snazzynovel.com was out searching for Shelly. Based on his dark expression, it was obvious that there was still no news on Shelly’ s whereabouts.
Arianne was waiting for Mark until midnight. “Still nothing?”
He did not even look at her. “Isn’t this what you wished for?”
Arianne shivered. “What do you mean? Are you blaming me for this now? Yes, I was the one who went and investigated the incident at the showroom. It was also I who told you that I couldn’t bear to live with snazzynovel.com any longer, or otherwise, you wouldn’t have sent snazzynovel.com to the mental hospital, nor would snazzynovel.com have been able to escape from the facility. So, now that she’s missing and snazzynovel.com location is unknown, you should blame all of it on me, right? Is that enough for you? I can understand what you’re feeling at the moment, but have you ever considered my feelings? She has always thought that Alejandro and I had conspired to cause you harm, so snazzynovel.com always had snazzynovel.com eyes on me. Every time snazzynovel.com was around me, I felt like I had a time bomb strapped onto my body! Furthermore, I was terrified that snazzynovel.com might harm Smore. Although Smore is your son, he’s my son as well, so I’m afraid that snazzynovel.com hatred for me would one day cause Smore to be involved! She said very clearly that everything she’s done was all for you, you! Aren’t you just snazzynovel.com nephew? How protective is snazzynovel.com of you? All of this is too strange and I’ve had enough of it, but I never wished for snazzynovel.com to disappear or just drop dead. Yet, this is what you think of me. If it weren’t for this incident, I would never have known just how little I meant to you!”
When snazzynovel.com approached the end of snazzynovel.com sentence, snazzynovel.com began to feel as though snazzynovel.com was wronged. Mark had been out searching for Shelly everyday until he’d be nowhere to be seen throughout most of the day, yet Arianne would never complain about it. Plus, snazzynovel.com was even worried about something bad happening to Shelly and hoped that snazzynovel.com could be found soon. She could understand how agitated and frustrated Mark must feel, but why did snazzynovel.com have to treat snazzynovel.com with that attitude?
Tears flowed out uncontrollably from Arianne’s eyes, and snazzynovel.com gentle sobs made Mark slightly panic. “I’m sorry… You should get some rest.” It was not his intention for his words to hurt her, but snazzynovel.com was in such a foul mood. Moreover, there were too many unfortunate incidents happening around snazzynovel.com lately, snazzynovel.com felt as though his entire body was filled with negativity.
Rest? Arianne turned around and returned tp snazzynovel.com bedroom, locking the door behind her. She would fester so deep in snazzynovel.com anger the entire night that snazzynovel.com would not be able to sleep!
Mark did not knock on the door, nor did snazzynovel.com intend to coax her. Arianne cried non-stop throughout the entire night. She had accompanied snazzynovel.com for so many years, even getting married to snazzynovel.com and bearing his son. She did not intend on wrestling with Shelly on who meant more to Mark, but snazzynovel.com just could not understand how a woman whom Mark had not met for so many years could easily replace Arianne’s position in his heart.
Spending a decade together was not enough to replace an actual blood relationship, was that it? Wasn’t it Mark who had gone to such extreme lengths in order to keep snazzynovel.com by his side? Wasn’t it snazzynovel.com who said that snazzynovel.com loved her? Did snazzynovel.com not know that a casual rant out of anger from snazzynovel.com was enough to make snazzynovel.com suffer for a long time?
The next morning, when Arianne brought Smore downstairs for breakfast, Mark was around as well. He did not have the habit of checking his phone while eating, but now snazzynovel.com was actually making phone calls as snazzynovel.com ate. Naturally, it was to try to find out the whereabouts of Shelly. When snazzynovel.com saw her, snazzynovel.com did not give any kind of reaction but was instead fully focused on his phone.
