The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

The bullet was removed and Brian would be just fine after a good rest.He lay in the hospital bed, carefully attended to by Anna.

"Brian, would you like to tuck into some delicious fruit? Here, let me peel some for you."

"No, thanks." Brian stared into the distance.

Three days had passed and there was still no news of Ayla.

He was consumed by restlessness.

"Brian, are you still concerned about her?"

Anna was aware that Jaime had instructed his men to search for Ayla.

But it was all in vain.

She secretly wished she could ask Brian to give up the search but she remained quiet.She was deeply saddened to see the pathetic state he was reduced to.

"There is still no news about her," Brian said calmly.

Then he stood up and said to her, "Please help me with the discharge procedure."

He wanted to confirm it personally.

Anna could read his mind.She accompanied him to the uninhabited island.

"Mr.Clark, what are you doing here?" asked one of his subordinates.

"Hmm."

Brian acknowledged him with a nod and examined the surroundings.

If only he had acted quicker then, she would not have been shot.

The search and rescue team had combed the length and breadth of the sea, but there was no trace of her.

For five hours he waited with anxious patience.

Darkness enveloped them.

"Brian, if you continue to torture yourself like this, it will impact negatively on your health."

Anna was genuinely worried about his wellbeing.

"Anna, ask them to stop!” Ask them to stop the search!

 "Brian felt as helpless and as desperate as a penniless beggar.He cursed.If she was courageous enough to confess her love for him, couldn't she also believe that he would save her? He would save her from Tatum even if he had to give up everything.Even if she had been forcibly injected with drugs, he would help her overcome her drug dependence.

Jaime came over.

"Mr.Clark."

Finally, all of them, as well as the rescue team, left without finding anything.
