Take My Breath Away

Although Matthew had already booked a plane ticket for himself, he didn't expect to receive a call from the bodyguard informing that Erica was missing.

Immediately, he changed his flight to the earliest one and flew to Cass.

When he got to the hotel room that Erica was supposed to be staying, he sat down and quietly listened to the bodyguard's report about his wife's disappearance. "Mrs. Huo ordered the female bodyguard to get her some lady supplies from downtown. In the meantime, another bodyguard and I stayed and did the protection for Mrs. Huo. When she complained about having a stomachache, we accompanied her to the bathroom and waited nearly half an hour outside the door. But then we realized that something was wrong. We called her several times, but there was no response. After we broke in, we found out that she had climbed over the wall and left."

The bathroom in the mountain area wasn't as luxurious as the one in the city. It was only a simple toilet built of bricks.

Behind it, there was a small forest. So when the bodyguards checked the surveillance footage at the entrance, they saw Erica leaving through the woods in a hurry.

They managed to track her from the screen until she reached a blind spot and disappeared without a trace.

After the bodyguard told him everything, Matthew closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He could still smell her scent in the room.

For a long time, he didn't say anything, nor did he make a move. He was so calm that it didn't seem as he had just lost his beloved wife. The bodyguards were in cold sweats, beginning to wonder if the man had fallen asleep. But slowly, he opened his eyes again.

Matthew then stood up and walked around the room as if he was looking for something.

Finally, he spotted a letter and a box above Erica's suitcase.

Sitting on the head of the bed, he casually opened the letter.

It didn't seem very long. The girl's handwriting was neat, unlike her naughty character, and in the very first word, Matthew noticed that the letter was indeed for him.

"Matthew, first of all, I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

Yes, I'm leaving. After what happened recently, I've realized how much of a problem I am. It turns out that I am a big fool. For so many times, I've allowed those messed up people to get between us that I would often misunderstand you because of it. I was so blind

is sleep? What was this? In his opinion, dumping her husband didn't qualify as the behavior of the good woman she said she wanted to be at all.

To make matters worse, did she say she wanted to struggle while she was pregnant? Was there something wrong with her brain?

Although Matthew thought his head was about to explode, in the end, he agreed to let her go.

After checking her luggage, he made sure that she didn't bring any of the bank cards he had given her. He couldn't wait to see how the pregnant woman planned to survive out there.

Bearing this in mind, Matthew didn't feel anxious anymore. Afterward, he took his men and left the country as soon as possible.

By the time he returned to Y City, he ordered his men to keep an open eye on any movement in Erica's bank accounts. Raising children required a lot of money, so he believed that she would surely need to withdraw some cash sooner or later.

Meanwhile, in A Country, Chantel was taking the day off at Li family's house.

It was rare for her to take some time to rest. But at that moment, she was playing the game of Go with Wesley, while Blair was knitting a sweater for her grandchild.

The family was having a good time together when Wesley's phone unexpectedly rang. With his mind focused on the game, he didn't feel like answering it.

However, Chantel warned him, "Dad, it's Uncle Carlos calling."

Nodding, Wesley put down his stone piece and picked up the phone. "Hey, old man!"

At the other end of the line, Carlos was smoking in his study when he said gloomily, "Wesley, Rika is missing!"
