But still no trace of her, dead or alive. and many
When James went over, it was high tide. The monstrous waves crashed against the shore, and the rolling billows looked as if they would swallow the boats on the sea.
Looking at the boundless deep sea, James felt a rare despair in his heart.
But he couldn’t just give up hope.
Lily was still waiting for him to save her; he had to find her quickly.
“Go search the nearby islands!”
Pausing for a moment, James continued in a hoarse voice, “Also, send people to search the surrounding fishing villages.”
As he spoke, James ignored Ashton’s attempts to stop him and boarded a boat.
His demeanor made it clear he was going to search the nearby islands for Lily right now.
“You should go back to the hospital. I’ll go find Lily.”
Ashton heard James cough painfully several times and still tried to persuade him to go back. “The wind is strong at sea, your wounds haven’t healed, you…”
“I’m going to find Lily!”
James’ eyes were pained yet stubborn, a sight that made Ashton’s heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.
Ashton’s lips moved.
He wanted to say that Lily might have been washed ashore, but that probability was very small.
And even if Lily had washed up on shore, with her hands and feet tied, no way she could’ve swum-she was probably already dead by then.
Even if they could find her, what they found would only be Lily’s body.
But, seeing James’ desperate yet stubborn appearance made his heart ache too much. Even knowing that no matter how they continued to search, it was impossible to find a living Lily, he couldn’t bear to say these words out loud.
He, who hadn’t slept for more than two days, still forced his exhausted body to accompany his friend to the end…
Ashton accompanied James in the search for a week.
During this week, they searched almost all the nearby islands and fishing villages, but still didn’t find Lily.
Many people said the reason they couldn’t recover Lily’s body was that she had been eaten by sharks.
But James didn’t believe Lily was dead. Even as his wounds split open time and again and his body was on the verge of collapse, he stubbornly insisted on finding her.
Finding her alive.
However, he was, after all, too severely injured. After a week of searching almost without sleep, he couldn’t hold on and fell into a brief coma.
On the way to the hospital, as Ashton and the others were taking him, he woke up.
He refused to go to the hospital.
Ashton had no choice but to send him back to the Luke family manor and have a doctor go there to treat him.
Their room was filled with Lily’s shadow everywhere. Lying on the large bed in the room, heart ached even more, as if it would be crushed to ashes. his
After the doctor treated his wounds, he had him leave.
He knew that Ashton had been too tired during this time, so he sent Ashton back as well.
While searching for her everywhere, he had been forcing himself to hold on. This past week, he hadn’t shed a single tear.
But as he held the pillow she had used, staring at their framed wedding photo on the bedside table, and breathing in the sweet scent that was slowly fading from the room, he couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down his face.
He really missed her so much.
Missed her to the point of heartbreak, where life felt worse than death.
“Lily, wait for me, I will definitely find you…”
He hugged her pillow tightly, crying like a child…
After a long time, he carefully and reluctantly put down the pillow.
Just as he was about to go back outside to search for her, he saw a particularly exquisite and beautifully decorated gift box on a low shelf not far away.
He realized something. Supporting himself on the edge of the bed, he got down and bent over, walking toward the low shelf.
He solemnly and preciously untied the bow on the gift box. Carefully taking off the lid, sure enough, inside was the birthday gift she had prepared for him.
It was a tie, a white shirt, and a suit jacket.
She had made them by hand!
“Lily, the birthday present you prepared, I like it very much, I especially love it…” James murmured over and over, as if talking in his sleep.
With trembling fingertips, he carefully and preciously lifted the white shirt from the gift box and earnestly put it on.
After solemnly putting on the tie, he then put on the suit jacket.
He knew the clothes and the tie were all handmade by Lily.
She must have really wanted to see what the clothes and tie, which she had made stitch by stitch, looked like on him.
After tidying himself up, he walked step by step to the full-length mirror and said in a hoarse voice, “Lily, the clothes fit perfectly, they’re very comfortable. Just look at me…”
He stood in front of the full-length mirror for a long, long time, as if he had lost his soul.
But he did not see the girl he longed for day and night. Reflected in the full-length mirror was only his solitary figure…
James, Simon, John, Jackson, and the others had now been searching for Lily for half a month.
In this half-month, they had found nothing.
More and more people were saying that Lily was already dead.
The internet was flooded with news of Lily falling into the sea.
If she had truly been lucky enough to be washed ashore by the waves and rescued, with the internet being so advanced now, how could the person who saved her not try to contact the media or James?
James and the others had practically gone mad searching for Lily.
These heaven’s favored sons, usually clad in suits and incomparably noble, had, in the long search, not even bothered to shave, appearing uncharacteristically disheveled.
People nowadays aren’t stupid. James and the others cared so much about Lily; if someone had really rescued her and become her savior, one could guess, even with their toes, what astonishing wealth the Luke family would give that person.
But after so many days, no one had contacted the media, and certainly, no one had contacted the Luke family.
Then there was only one possibility: no one had rescued Lily at all.
After such a long time, it was simply impossible for Lily to still be alive!
This half-month, for James, John, and the others, every minute and every second was an extraordinary torment, yet also filled with hope.
