Chapter 428 I Will Be Back Soon
A few minutes later, Yuliana sorted out her emotions and wiped the tears on her face with a few pieces of tissue. Based on her memory, she started the car and drove to the company where Sabrina had worked
Even though Yuliana knew that there would be nothing to gain, she still wanted to try her luck as she had run out of leads.
Sabrina’s social circle was very small. The only places she went to were her home, her company, and the nearby farmer’s market.
Although she had already filed a case at the police station, she didn’t know if they had gone to Sabrina’s company to investigate.
Sabrina had worked at a small private enterprise. Its main business was pharmaceutical manufacturing, and Sabrina was responsible for the administrative affairs.
When Yuliana arrived, the police probably hadn’t arrived yet.
It was the HR department’s supervisor who received her.
The supervisor said that Sabrina had suddenly resigned and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Logically speaking, her resignation notice should have been submitted a month in advance, and the company had to find a suitable person to take over her duties before she could leave.
However, Sabrina didn’t follow the usual process. She merely said that there was an emergency at home and she needed to leave as soon as possible.
The supervisor knew what Sabrina was like. After joining the company, she had been working conscientiously on her post. Dealing with logistics was complicated, but she was very patient and handled every task properly. She was very sure that Sabrina would complete every assigned task to the best of her ability.
Therefore, seeing that Sabrina was really in a hurry, she went to her superior, and they approved Sabrina’s resignation before the company hired a suitable person to take over. Her duties were temporarily handed to someone in the HR department.
Sabrina completed all of the formalities last Wednesday.
She had handed in her resignation after Yuliana found a high school in Juxshire for Jacob last month.
Sabrina had nothing else to worry about after settling Jacob’s affairs.
It was just like what Sabrina had written in her letter; she had gone to Jeahron, already prepared to die. She would avenge Damian’s death even if it cost her her life.
However, she didn’t get on the high-speed train to Jeahron.
After leaving the company, Yuliana drove around the streets and alleys of Yrinas and went to the farmer’s market Sabrina frequented, the nearby supermarket, and the cemetery where Damian was.
Damian hadn’t been buried yet, so he was just being kept there.
Sabrina said in her letter that if she died, she wanted to be buried with Damian.
“Dad.”
Yuliana stood alone in the place where Damian’s ashes were kept.
Christopher didn’t come over. He stood at a distance where he could still see Yuliana and held a cigarette between his fingers.
“If you are watching us from above, please make sure Aunt Sabrina is safe. Jake is still so young. He needs his mother. I got separated from my mother at such a young age. Aunt Sabrina said that you always felt that you owed me for that, so you should exercise some power and ensure Jake doesn’t end up like me.”
After walking out of the cemetery, rain descended upon Yrinas.
It was not that heavy, but by the time she got to the car, her hair and clothes were drenched.
Christopher found a towel and gently dried Yuliana’s hair.
Yuliana was stunned but didn’t resist his touch. She remained still like a doll and let him do whatever he wanted.
Noticing that her clothes were also wet, Christopher frowned and asked, “Do you have any spare clothes in the car?”
Yuliana ignored him..
She gazed blankly at the water droplets on the glass.
Christopher eyed her for a while, opened the door, and exited the car. He checked the trunk but came up empty.
Yuliana had obviously come here without any luggage.
Christopher walked to the driver’s side of the car and knocked on the glass.
Yuliana looked at him through the rain and fog on the glass, still ignoring him.
Hence, he continued to knock.
Eventually, Yuliana got annoyed and rolled down the window.
Christopher had only been in the rain for a while, but his hair was already dripping wet. There were drops of water hanging off the tips of his hair. He wiped away the rain on his face and said, “Get into the other seat. I’ll drive.”
Finally, Yuliana listened to Christopher and let him drive.
“I’m not in the right state of mind to be driving right now. I have Rowan and Jacob to take care of. I can’t let anything happen to myself,” she thought.
Christopher reached through the window, unlocked the car door, and climbed in. He picked up the towel that he had used to dry Yuliana’s hair before and dried his own hair quickly. After putting it aside, he asked, “Do you want to go back to Aunt Sabrina’s house or the hotel?”
Yuliana pursed her lips and finally said something to him.
“The hotel.”
Christopher wasn’t in a hurry to start driving. He took out his phone and looked for the hotel’s information online Then he booked a room, turned on the navigation, and drove to the hotel.
It only took 15 minutes to get there.
After checking in at the reception, Christopher took Yuliana into the room and said, “Go take a hot shower first. It’s cold due to the rain, so don’t catch a cold. I’ll go out and buy you some clothes to change into.”
Hearing this, Yuliana looked up at him.
Christopher paused for a moment and added, “I’ll be back soon.”
With that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Christopher had noticed that there was a large shopping mall not far from the hotel on his way here. It was not difficult to find clothes there.
After purchasing them, he went to buy some food.
Yuliana didn’t really eat anything for lunch or breakfast.
It was almost dark now.
After finishing his shopping, he went back to the hotel and opened the door. It was quiet inside.
In fact, it was so quiet that it seemed like no one was in the room.
Christopher panicked and quickly entered the room. All the nervousness left his body when he saw Yuliana curled up on the couch asleep.
He approached her and patted her lightly on the shoulder. “Ana?”
“Mm…” Yuliana answered vaguely with her eyes closed
Christopher squatted beside her and gazed at her quietly for a while. He didn’t wake her up and gently carried her to the bed, but her clothes were still wet. After hesitating for a while, he took off her clothes and covered her with the quilt.
Yuliana was so deeply asleep that she didn’t wake up even after all that.
Christopher sat on the edge of the bed, not moving a muscle as he gazed at her sleeping face.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She looked so soft and sweet.
The phone in his pocket vibrated again, disturbing the peace in the room.
Christopher took out his phone and looked at it.
He got up from the bed, walked to the sofa, and lit a cigarette before answering the call.
“Have you found Sabrina?”
Christopher put the cigarette to his lips and answered vaguely, “Not yet.”
“Do you think that’s what I want to hear?”
Taking a few puffs of smoke, Christopher held the cigarette with his fingers and replied, “You need not worry, Mr Xavier. Something has likely happened to Sabrinal
Oliver said with a smile, “I’ll give you one more day. If you still don’t produce results, I will settle all our scores. with you.”
Christopher spread his legs as he leisurely blew out another puff of smoke. He couldn’t care less about Oliver’s threat.
Oliver asked again, “I heard that a woman appeared at Sabrina’s house last night, and you even chopped off one of the hands of Black Wolf’s subordinates for her.”
“It’s not hearsay.” Christopher said in a dark voice, “That woman is my son’s biological mother. He dared to hurt her, so I cut off one of his hands in return. Don’t you think I’ve already given Black Wolf enough respect?”
Christopher flicked the ashes off the tip of the cigarette. “What? Are you interrogating me over this matter, Mr. Xavier?”
“It’s just a hand. It’s not a big deal,” Oliver stated nonchalantly.
