Chapter 199 Nowhere To Be Found (One)

• It was with a growing sense of urgency that Sebastian drove away from the hospital, Jessica's insults and curses trailing after him until he could no longer hear them. It was a sad thing indeed that she was now the way she was, but there was nothing that he could do about it. He had offered to help her, but she kept turning down his help at every turn, so there was nothing he could do for her anymore. He could not do the very thing that she wanted, which was to be with her, as he did not love her anymore.
• He stopped by a flower shop on his way back to the house to get some flowers for Carol, knowing that women loved things like that. Hopefully, she would forgive him, and even if she did not, he would keep trying until she did. He still did not know how she managed to wind up pregnant, if she was taking her pills like she had claimed, but he knew that sometimes, those things were not foolproof, especially if the lady who was taking them fell sick during the period. He remembered that Carol had fallen sick when they came back from vacation, so maybe that was why the pills failed. If only he had thought about it, instead of accusing her of stupid things like the jackass he was.
• The closer he got to the house, the more the sense of urgency that gripped him. Something was not right, but he did not know what it was. The living room was eerily quiet, with no sign of activity, so he bounded up the stairs in search of Carol. She was not in his room, which was not a surprise, considering that he had asked her to leave there, so he hurried to her room, to find the door slightly ajar.
