‘I must have fallen for her!
‘I have indeed fallen for her.
‘Maybe I already fell for her the first time I saw her, but then… I didn’t take it seriously and wasn’t willing to confront Jason for a woman.
‘However, now that she has become
Jason’s woman, I… Will no longer mistake my feelings for her.
‘Everything ends here!’
“Grace, this is the first time and the last time I’ll give my life to save you. It won’t happen again. I won’t feel the slightest affection for you from now on,” he muttered.
Rather than talking to her while she was unconscious, it was more like he was telling himself that while he was sober.
In the future, she would be Jason’s woman. His pride forbade himself to fall for a woman who had her heart set on another man!
Therefore, he needed to retrieve his feelings.
He carried her while she was still unconscious on his back, just like how the little girl had carried him down the hill when he was little.
After telling Grace that he would not abandon her here, Brian stopped talking and just continued to carry Grace on his back down the hill.
However, the two of them did not know that all hell had broken loose at the foot of the hill.
Jason’s face darkened as he dialed
Grace’s phone only to hear the system tone saying that no one was answering the call.
The driver stood trembling, his face pale.
‘It’s alright if Miss Cummins could come back safely in a moment. But if anything did happen, Young Master Reed would probably never let me live in peace!
‘Where the hell is Grace?’
Jason looked at the rolling hills in front of him with a pale face.
When he arrived at the Lu family’s house,
Grace had not gone back yet. He called her but could not get through. He asked the driver who accompanied Grace here and found out that she went up the hill to pay her respects but had not come down.
There were traces of worship at her grandmother’s grave, but they could not find her!
“Young Master Reed, perhaps Miss
Cummins was held up by something else. Perhaps she’ll appear in a moment,” said Terrence.
Jason pressed his thin lips together tightly, his right hand c
‘Nothing could happen to her! Absolutely nothing could happen to her!
‘I’ll find her no matter what!’
“What about the nearby surveillance?
Have you found anything?” asked Jason.
“We’re still working on it. We should have something soon,” Terrence said hurriedly.
Fortunately, there was surveillance on several roads around here. If
Miss Cummins had left this area, the surveillance cameras would have filmed her.
However, the surveillance reported that only 13 cars had gone in and out and several pedestrians pa**ing by during this period.
This area was one of the more remote parts of the town, so not many would have come in or out of here.
They had checked out the owners of these cars. They were all innocent town residents, and they had no criminal records as well as nothing to do with
Miss Cummins.
As for those who pa**ed by, they did not find Miss Cummins among them.
That was to say, Miss Cummins was probably still on this hill. It was just that the hills were all connected, and it would be a bit of a ha**le to find her.
Terrence looked at his boss, waiting for his command.
A moment later, Terrence only saw his thin lips spitting out six words in a cold voice, “Put these hills on lockdown and search for her!”
Terrence was shocked.
“Young Master Reed, won’t this be too much?” He reminded him. After all, Miss Cummins had only been out of touch for two hours so far. What if Grace just got lost?
After a pause, Terrence continued saying, “How about we send more troops up the hill to look for Miss Cummins? As for putting the hills on lockdown-”
“Put these hills on lockdown!” said Jason as he interrupted Terrence with no room for judgment.
Even with all the noise and trouble, he did not want to leave out any possibilities.
Terrence knew his boss had already decided, so he did not say anything more. He just began to arrange the manpower and ask for support from the
local police at the same time.
It only took a moment and the troops that were going up the hills were ready to go.
Jason wanted to go up the hill with one of the troops to find Grace.
“Young Master Reed, you might as well wait down the hill,” said Terrence.
“I want to find her!” said Jason, ‘I won’t be at ease until I find her!’
The troop Jason chose was going to the very hill where Grace had saved Brian’s life!
Jason stared at the forest. ‘Somehow, I have a feeling that Grace might be on this hill.’
After all, this hill was close to the one where her grandmother was buried, and the two hills were connected.
Moreover, there was a faint worry in his heart.
According to the surveillance, Brian… Was one of the people who pa**ed by.
‘Brian came here as well! Could he have gone up this hill too?
‘After all, Brian has memories of this hill!
Would the two of them…!
For a moment, he dared not think about it anymore.
He knew about this place’s existence when he investigated her past with
Brian.
However, it was the first time he had actually set foot here.
As he followed the search party step by step through the dense forest, his mind flashed back to the painting by Brian that he had seen in the studio at the Hart familyHart family’s house.
In the painting, a petite girl carried a little boy on her back as she walked through the dense forest step by step.
The little girl’s back was bent low as if almost crushed by the weight of the little boy. However, even so, the little girl carried him with her.
Every step was so difficult.
He did not feel anything when he first saw the painting, but now, if he put in the likeness of Grace and Brian, he panicked.
‘What on earth am I panicking about?
