Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 255

When i heard the news, I immediately pulled over

“How could he just disappear?” I began to worry. Guilt for Russel began to food my heart like a tidal wave.

Chloe was on the verge of tears, “I don’t know, he had a row with his family three days ago and then vanished. We cant find him.”

Knowing Russel, he wasn’t the type to just up and leave. So I figured the fight he had with his family three days ago must’ve been intense enough to push him to this

I opened the door and looked in the apartment, but I still found no sign of Russel. There was even a layer of dust on the furniture.

After looking for him for a while, I rushed to the hospital where Russel used to work, but still no luck.
