Chapter 1333 Let Go (VI)

• “She’s gone.” Madison Sawyer’s father nodded heavily, grief carved into every line of his face. After the Regal Peaks incident and his serious illness, he had already aged a lot, and this time he seemed to turn into a true old man overnight. “No one knows where she went. She just left a letter telling us not to look for her. She said she’ll keep in touch and let us know she’s safe. As for the company, she’s already arranged everything. Erin will help on that end too.”
• As Malcom Sawyer spoke, tears streamed down his weathered cheeks. “Chadwick Fullner—she didn’t write a single word about you, but we all know the truth in our hearts. If her heart wasn’t truly broken—if she didn’t want to let go for good—she would never do this. And besides you, there’s no one else who could hurt her this deeply. Chad, I want to ask you what really happened. I want to know why my good daughter keeps doing this again and again. We know she’s hurting, but she’s our flesh and blood—her pain cuts us even deeper. And now we have to worry like last time that she’ll disappear without a word and vanish to God knows where. She’s a girl—what if she’s in danger out there? What scares us most is… what if she loses hope again. Her mom has cried all this time, saying she doesn’t want to live either. You know better than anyone that, ever since you two got together, we as parents have been living with our hearts in our throats. I’ve been trying to comfort her, saying our Madison has been through so much she won’t go back to how she was… If she’s really cruel enough to make us suffer losing her again, then maybe we did something wrong in a past life and deserve this. Or maybe this is all the fate we have with her.”
• “Mr. Sawyer, I’m sorry… I really don’t know how to explain it…” Tears slid down Chadwick Fullner’s face before he noticed. “Can I see Madison’s letter? I’ll go find her. I won’t let her drift out there alone with all that pain and loneliness. I don’t want you to hurt for her either… I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer. I did wrong. I’ll make it right…”
