Chapter 81
When Gordon came to find Mayra, he only found a middle–aged man lying on the ground bleeding excessively. He immediately called the police.
Mayra was nowhere to be found in the room. She must have fled, fearing that the man had accomplices.
Frowning, Gordon said, “She’s an orphan. She has one brother, but I don’t have his contact information. I’m begging you. Please find her, no matter what it takes.”
The police officer replied, “Belchester is so big. It’s not easy to find her. Let’s wait for a while. If she hasn’t returned after 24 hours, you
ப
file a
police report and we’ll figure something out then. We’ll try to contact her relatives.”
Relatives? Mayra didn’t have any relatives.
“You should take care of your wounds first to avoid infection.”
When Gordon arrived, the culprit had already woken up.
During the struggle with the culprit, he accidentally sustained some injuries.
After the police arrested the culprit, Gordon repeatedly tried to call Mayra, but her phone remained switched off.
With no other choice, Gordon left a note and walked into the pouring rain with an umbrella.
The sky darkened completely, and the rain gradually subsided.
Mayra hid under a highway overpass, dozing off in a daze.
She was startled awake by the honking of cars on the bridge. At this moment, she felt her legs numb from crouching.
She wanted to go find Gordon, but she couldn’t. She had accidentally injured the man. She would surely be arrested and left with a criminal
record.
She didn’t want to drag Gordon down. Knowing his personality, he would definitely take the blame for her.
Gordon had a bright future ahead of him.
When the rain finally stopped completely, she took out two pieces of bread from her bag and wolfed them down.
Mayra had experienced such a situation before.
She had always been homeless, and she had no family in this world.
Years ago, she had the opportunity to be adopted, but she refused. She had chosen to follow Anderson.
Mayra looked up at the bridge above her, seeing the vehicles passing by one after another.
She took clean clothes out of her backpack and changed into them. After that, she hugged her knees tightly, waiting for the night to darken
completely.
Her phone had accidentally gotten wet, and the battery had died. However, she didn’t dare to go back.
At Fisher Residence, Anderson walked into the yard and lit a cigarette to sober up. He hadn’t drunk this much in a long time. After all, it was a family banquet. He couldn’t avoid socializing.
Isabel took the hangover tea prepared by the maid and walked over to Anderson. “Andy, I’m sorry. My relatives are just too outspoken. Don’t take their words to heart. They just… really want to see you.
“If you’re not feeling well, go rest upstairs first. I’ve had the maid prepare a guest room for you.”
Anderson took a drag of his cigarette and threw it aside. The breeze in the spacious garden dispersed the smoke, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. “The flowers are nice.”
After a slight lift of her eyebrow, Isabel smiled gracefully. “I planted these flowers in my spare time. When we get married, I want to fill our garden with these flowers. Is that okay?”
