Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1023 A Glimmer Of Hope
Disappointment resided in the pit of her stomach. But she was not ready to give up.
“Mrs. An, you need to rest. We can’t just look for him at random places. What if Mr. An was abducted and did not fall off the cliff?”
Carol held Carla’s hand and looked into her eyes. Carla was exhausted but her heart was burning with determination. She wouldn’t rest until she found him.
Carla looked up at the dark sky and collapsed to the ground. “Terence, where the hell are you? Where are you?” she wailed as fresh tears cascaded down her cheeks.
“Please come back. The kids and I need you.
I cannot live without you. Please come back to me, Terence,” she screamed, hoping for her words to miraculously reach Terence’s ears.
Her entire body was shaking. She felt as if someone had taken a part of her soul. Her lips trembled with fear and pain. Hot tears slipped down her face and landed on the grass. Carla always knew that she was in love with Terence. But in this moment, she realized that he had blended in her soul. She had never loved anyone as much as she had loved Terence. He was her life, her purpose for existence.
“Mr. Su, please stop! Mrs. An doesn’t want to see you.”
Rainer quickly stepped forward and stopped Steven.
“I just want to see her,”
Steven said. His eyes were fixed on Carla who was slumped on the ground.
Steven could only imagine what Carla must be going through. He couldn’t see her like this. He wanted to be there for her and help her find him.
“Mr. Su…”
Rainer shouted, but Steven was already walking towards Carla.
“Callie.”
Steven’s heart broke when Carla’s swollen eyes met his. Her face was puffy and her eyes were bloodshot. She hadn’t stopped crying.
“Stop crying, please. We should be glad that we haven’t found him yet. It means that
und check on his business partners.”
Rainer glanced at him and took the flash disk from him.
“Mr. Su, why are you helping us? Aren’t you afraid of your father?”
Steven shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m not like my father. That’s him and this is me. I cannot agree to his decisions just because he is my father.”
He glanced at Carla.
“Callie, I don’t know if my father is behind all this. But I will do everything I can to help you find Mr. An. You can count on me.”
Carla sniffed and nodded. “Ok, I will not hold your father accountable for this accident if you help me find Terence.”
Steven didn’t answer. He turned to look at Carol. “Take her home. It looks like it’s going to rain.”
He slung the backpack on his shoulder and left.
Victor was waiting for him on the other side.
He stole little glances at Steven on their way home.
“Mr. Su, you didn’t have to do that. You now have a better chance to be with Mrs. An. Why do you want to lose this opportunity?”
Steven shook his head. “Do you think Callie will be happy without Mr. An? I cannot see her live in pain.”
Victor scratched his head in confusion.
“But what will you do if Mr. An never returns?”
Steven raised the accelerator and looked at him.
“In that case, we can never be together.”
“What?”
Victor frowned. He was baffled by Steven’s response.
