Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
But having seen Carol in the video and heard her voice, he was already impatient.
He wished he could see Carol right now.He longed to hold her in his arms.
“Do any of you know where she might be?” Clark questioned again.
His subordinate, Donald, shook his head, honestly replying, “Clark, I really have no idea.”
Only the boss herself knew where she’s gone.
As her underlings, they had no say and didn’t dare to meddle.
Except for Jack, the daredevil, who dared to tattle to Romeo last time.
As a result, the boss docked his bonus, didn’t she?
Unable to keep his patience any longer, Clark redialed Romeo, “Romeo, are you asleep?”
Romeo was a light sleeper and quickly picked up his ringing cell phone, “Clark? What’s up?”
“Did I wake you?” Clark felt apologetic, “I’m really sorry to disturb your sleep.”
Romeo hadn’t wanted to sleep in the first place, but Bella insisted, so he had to take a couple of sleeping pills and only managed to fall asleep with the aid of the scented pouch she had given him.
But he had barely gotten any shut-eye when Clark’s call woke him twice.
Would his girl forgive him if she saw his dark circles the next day?
“It’s fine, Clark, why are you still up?” Romeo’s voice was magnetically soothing. He genuinely respected Clark because of his love for Mirabella.
“Bella just sent me a video. She found Carol and even managed to draw the poison out of her,’ Clark announced excitedly, “But after that, I sent her countless messages and made numerous calls, but she didn’t respond.”“Are you worried that Bella’s in danger?” Romeo quickly guessed his thoughts.
“Yes, normally, Bella would reply to my messages or missed calls right away. But it’s been over an hour since my first message.”
That hour had been filled with agony and unease.
His emotions were like a rollercoaster ride.
“Don’t worry, Clark. Bella promised she’d be back by noon.” Romeo had immense trust and faith in Bella. “She always keeps her word, or even gets things done ahead of time.”
She never went back on her word.
“But I’m still worried they’re in danger.” Clark had an uneasy feeling as if he was about to lose something.
His eyelid kept twitching.
And the more it twitched, the more uneasy he felt.
The more agitated he became.
“Do you want me to look into it, Clark?”
Romeo also wanted to check, but he was worried about Bella’s feelings.
However, if Clark wanted him to, it would be different.
“If Bella brings it up later and feels you dont trust her, I’ll take all the blame, Clark assured him over the phone.”L always stand by my word.”
“Clark, you don’t have to take responsibility” Romeo had also dreamed that Bella was in danger while he was asleep. He feared this dream might come true.
Soon, Romeo sent people to investigate.
The area wasnt too large, finding someone wouldn’t be too hard.
The rain outside gradually lessened, and the sky began to lighten. Clark couldn’t wait any longer and began pacing in the castle’s garden, frequently glancing towards the gate.
Soon, a car pulled up at the gate. When Clark glanced up, he saw Romeo had arrived.
Romeo couldn’t sleep either. Instead of waiting for news at the Mafia C, he thought it better to keep Clark company.
The two waited in the garden together.
After an indeterminable amount of time, someone yelled, “It’s the boss. The boss is back!!!”
“What’s happened to the boss?”
“The boss, the boss!!!”
Everyone in the castle immediately rushed towards Mirabella.
In the distance, a girl was carrying another girl, walking step by step through the light rain.
Their bodies were stained with blood, and it was hard to tell whose it was. The large area of red was shocking to the eye.Seeing this, Romeo and Clark felt as though they’d been struck by lightning and instinctively ran towards them.
Mirabella was completely spent. Carrying Carol on her back, every step felt as if she was exerting every ounce of her strength.
The drizzle fell gently. Lifting her eyes, she vaguely saw Romeo rushing out of the castle.
His figure seemed to fracture into several shadows.
A smile tugged at Mirabella’’s lips. That guy showing up so early in the morning? Had he not slept well last night?
Her vision blurred, and the shouts of the youngsters calling her ‘boss’ reached her ears faintly. But she was too weak to look at them one by one.
Her steps became heavier and slower, swaying with each forward movement like a mountain about to collapse.
“Baby!”
It was Romeo’s voice.
He dashed over, and his eyes reddened at the sight of Mirabella’s blood-soaked body.
Mirabella had no strength left, and she passed out. In the next second, Romeo caught her in time.
Clark managed to catch Carol, but his immediate concern was for his sister. “Bella!!”
“Boss!!!”
Dozens of youngsters were both heartbroken and furious seeing their boss in such a state.”Damn it, whoever did this, if we don’t turn their lair upside down today, I’ll slit my own throat in apology!”
Jack just got back from Lidaria. Seeing the boss in this state, his eyes turned red!
How similar it was to a few years ago when the boss was seriously injured.
They thought that with them around, the boss would never get hurt again.
Tears rolled down Jack’s face as he looked at Mirabella’s bloody body. “Whoever dared to touch the boss, I’ll make sure they never get a proper burial!”
Jones clenched his fists, “I won’t let those bastards get away with this!”
Tom, full of righteous indignation, shouted, “Follow me, let’s level their damn place! A few of you stay here and guard the castle; don’t let a single fly in. The rest follow me!”
“Call the doctor first.” Romeo carried Mirabella into the house, his eyes glistening with unshed tears, his voice husky, “Do you guys know who to settle accounts with now? Bella’s health is the most important!”
Mirabella’s injuries were severe, and so were Carol’s. They were placed on the couch in the living room.
Jack, Jones, and Tom stood by, their hearts aching at the sight of their once formidable boss, now resembling a wounded lamb.
If possible, they wanted their boss always to be that fearless lion.
Romeo didn’t know where to start. He wanted to wipe the rain off Mirabella’s face but found her pale, her arms bruised, and there were marks of knife cuts.
With her skills, how could she be injured so easily? Moreover, there were scrapes from bullets.Just one look was enough to imagine the intense battle.
“Where the hell did Dennis take Bella? Why are Bella and Carol hurt like this?” Clark’s voice was raspy.
He turned to Donald, “Where’s the doctor? When will he be here?”
“He’s on his way, almost here!”
Doctors from all over the castle were conducting experiments. Hearing that the boss and Clark’s wife were injured, they dropped their work and rushed over.
Romeo began to disinfect Mirabella’s wounds. His voice hoarse, he softly called out, “Bella.”
There were so many injuries, it must hurt terribly.
“Silly girl” Romeo was in deep distress, his eyes red and choked voice, “You did it; you finally brought her back.”
Brought her back to Clark.
Fulfilling his dream.
It was clear that the young girl and Carol had fought their way back.
