I will Love You Forever - Chapter 149
As soon as Kara got home, the house was dark and in a mess. She couldn’t understand the reason for the sudden power outage so she turned on the flashlight on her phone and lit some candles as well but what she saw was worse than she had expected.
There were books all over the place and furniture scattered as though there had been a robbery attack or an earthquake that somehow only affected this area.
Worried, she hurried upstairs to see her sister but Kel was not in her bed and her room was also in a mess. Her wardrobe had some missing items and Kara began to wonder if her father took Kel away already without even waiting for her to return.
There was no staff present nor were there any traces of the guards and her family.
She got frustrated and rushed to her father’s room and just like every other place in the mansion, Johnathan’s room was also in a mess and she didn’t see any traces of him there.
She searched for traces of blood but didn’t find any. She didn’t know if this was supposed to make her feel relieved or now.
She grabbed her hair as she walked around the house. It was already dark outside and she couldn’t think of anyone who would want to hurt her family.
As she thought deeper, she realized something. The only person who knew that Kel could be dangerous was Ayla. Could this be a plan to stop them from leaving or could they have left already or worse, could something bad have happened?
She picked up her phone and called Ayla’s phone a few times but the lines were not connecting. As she thought of someone else to call, her phone suddenly turned off.
She panicked a little because the only source of light left was the candles and she would have difficulty contacting anyone now that her phone’s battery was low.
Just then, she heard the footsteps of someone approaching and freaked out. She was worried that the arm robbers were back and would most likely be more dangerous than before.
She hid in a corner and watched a young man was gently in the house. She furrowed her brow thinking that he definitely knew she was home because her car was parked outside.
She grabbed the flower vase on the floor and held her breath afraid to make a sound. As soon as the man walked past her, she raised the vase but it fell on the floor.
Qin’s movements were swift and Kara’s back ended up colliding with the wall with his arms around her neck and his gaze darkened.
When Qin noticed that she was Kara, his gaze widened and he released her almost instantly. “I’m sorry. The house was in a mess and I thought someone broke in.” he quickly apologized.
Kara held her neck and coughed multiple times. She could not understand why his grip was so strong as though he wasn’t the same person who usually held her hand with care when checking her pulse.
“Dude? What are you? A cramp?” she asked still holding her neck carefully.
Qin wanted to apologise more but he didn’t know what to say, after all, she was the one who first attacked him with the vase. This could be termed as self-defence.
He sighed and looked around the house closely. It was indeed too messy and there was only one person he had in mind that could have done such.
“Hurry, we have to find your sister.” he rushed out of the house and Kara followed even though she didn’t understand what he was saying.
They both got into his car but he didn’t start the engine. Kara looked at him confused as to why they weren’t leaving.
“Someone is hurt.” he got out of the car and rushed in again. Kara looked at her as though she was starting at a lunatic but followed him anyway. After all, he could have heard something.
She ran in and heard him rushing to their basement. As she followed him, she had her hopes up that she would find her sister there.
As soon as Qin broke the door, he rushed down and followed the metallic smell of blood. He worried that the person who was hurt might have been seriously injured because of how slowly he could hear the heartbeat and how much blood he sensed.
Soon, he found some people tired up with ropes and their mouths sealed was the tapes. Kara was welcomed by this sight as well but neither Kel nor Johnathan was there which got her even more worried.
After they untied the staff of the mansion and the bodyguards, Kara asked what happened and no one could give an accurate answer.
The one who was badly injured was a young staff and Qin was trying his best to resuscitate her before the ambulance came.
“I didn’t even know what hit me but when I woke up, I was I was in this place with the other staff and there was no light.” one of the guards explained to Kara.
“It was very fast like a ghost. I said it must have been ma’am Elizabeth’s ghost but no one took me seriously.” an elderly woman explained her side of the story.
“The young girl was the only one who got to see what it was and all I heard was her scream before I was also knocked unconscious.” the head maid explained.
Kara’s brow furrowed. “What was she doing before she got attacked?” Kara asked to be able to trace the room other of the problem.
“I sent her to second Madam’s room to give her some milk but I doubt she even made it there before she got attacked. I worried that someone took the madam and your father.” the head maid nervously gave an account of what happened.
Kara’s brow furrowed. “Could this be what I’m thinking?” she murmured.
If the maid had gone to Kel’s room last then it only meant one thing, ‘My sister is on a rampage.’ the thought of this, gave her chills because of her experience with Elizabeth but she knew that Kel needed her now more than ever.
“Wait here. I’ll go look for her myself.” Kara told Qin and didn’t even wait for a response before rushing out. She took her car and rode as fast as she could.
“There is only one place she can be now.” she held the steering tightly until her knuckles turned white. More than ever, she was determined to save her sister before she makes a costly mistake.
Qin ran after Kara but he couldn’t catch up and he was torn between saving the staff or following her. “Darn it.” he rushed back inside to check on the patient.
***
Ayla somehow managed to find Derick’s house and to their surprise, he was absolutely fine and had not noticed anything strange today.
This only made Gerard and Ayla confused about how Kel’s mind was working. If she wasn’t there yet could it mean that she was taking her sweet time or decided to stop by to buy some drinks that would go with her meal?
Ayla was worried. Because she could reach Kara, she wasn’t sure if Kel left the house already or not. For all they knew, they could as well be wrong and she could be asleep at home at that very moment.
Soon, her phone rang. It was from Qin. “Johnathan and Kel are nowhere to be found. The house is in a mess and I’m guessing there was a break-in or the daughter got bitchier than her mother.” he was frustrated and now, he also had Kara to look for.
“What about Kara? Did you see her?” Ayla asked worried but the response she got from Qin only made her more worried.
“She wasn’t taken but she went in search of her sister and father. I’m also on my way now. I’ll track her down in no time.” he explained and Ayla sighed worriedly.
She turned to Gerard and explained the situation. He nodded in understanding and calmed her down. If anyone knew Kara’s strength it was Ayla and if anyone could calm Kel down, it would be Kara.
“Trust your friend, I’m sure she’ll be able to calm Kel down.” he calmed her down as they watched Derick’s house from outside.
Kara finally arrived at the location. It was West falls park. This was the place Kel usually came to as a kid and her gut feeling was telling her that Kel would be her as well.
“Kel… It’s me Kara.” she had no weapon to defend herself but wasn’t bothered at all.
Kara found her father lying unconscious on the grass. She hurried to him and tried to wake him up. Fortunately, he woke up but the first thing he said was, “Run Kara, run! It’s a trap.”
Apparently, she was the prey and not Derick.
