Chapter 783
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
What?
Jumping into the river? Suicide?
Felipeâs fingers that were holding the phone suddenly trembled. âWhat are you talking about? What do you mean jumped into the river? Hold the phone and donât move from there. Iâm coming over right now!â
He rushed out. As he was driving to the destination, Felipe was so restless that even his hands that were clutching the steering wheel were trembling slightly.
Cathyâs face flashed in his mind. She was looking at him carefully.
Felipe did not know how long it took before he finally reached the place where the person said that someone had jumped into the river.
The location was a bit remote and there were not many people watching, but some firefighters had gone down to salvage the situation.
Felipe walked over quickly. Just then, there was a man holding a mobile phone and looking at the photos on the screensaver before walking toward him. âAre you the boyfriend of the girl who just jumped into the river? Look at this, yeah? This is your girlfriendâs cell phone?â
Felipe recognized it at a glance when he saw the phone case with a cartoon design.
Cathy liked Pikachu a lot and many of her accessories were related to Pikachu.
This was undoubtedly Cathyâs mobile phone.
âThereâs so much ice and snow. Jumping down like that, she must be dead. Were you two quarreling?
Anything can be discussed between lovers, no? Why did you drive your girlfriend so mad that sheâd jump into the river?â The man sighed regretfully, but when he saw Felipeâs solemn gaze shooting at him, he quickly shrank his neck and turned around before walking away.
Felipe walked quietly to the riverside, watching the firefighters as they went down one by one, returning with nothing.
He glanced around and found two surveillance cameras on the side of the road.
He immediately used his networks to obtain the surveillance footage, and in the video, he actually saw Cathy.
She stood by the river bank and ten minutes later, she jumped down without hesitation.
With this jump, Felipeâs heart seemed to sink.
Felipeâs mind was blank for a moment. There was only Cathyâs stubborn and lively voice echoing in his ears.
âFelipe, I like you.
âBut I just like you!
âAs long as I can stay by your side, Iâm willing to do anything.
âFelipe, I want to be with you forever.â
Felipeâs heart trembled as he squeezed Cathyâs mobile phone.
He immediately ordered all his bodyguards to search the place where Cathy had gone down into the water.
After a day and a night, the bodyguards only managed to salvage a mint green hair tie from the water.
It was the hair tie she used to tie her hair.
Felipeâs slender fingers wrapped tightly around the hair tie. His entire body was as if he had completely lost his spirit.
The bodyguards came and reported, âMr. Whitman, the water in the river has been drained, but thereâs no trace of Miss Cathy. She may have drowned and was washed away by the current.â
Felipe raised his reddened eyes suddenly. âKeep looking. If sheâs alive, I have to see her. And if sheâs dead⦠Sheâs not allowed to die without my permission.â
âYes.â The bodyguards did not dare disobey him and quickly follow suit.
Felipe went to Cathyâs room distractedly. The room still held the faint fragrance of her.
He had been to this room countless times, but only now did he seem to have noticed the photo frame on the bedside table.
There was a photo in it. When Cathy graduated a few years ago, he had gone to her graduation ceremony and took this photo with her.
The woman in the photo was sweet and lively as she held his arm, smiling so happily.
âI forbid you to die, do you hear me?â he ordered in a low voice when his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and realized it was a message from Cathy.
It seemed to be a scheduled message.
[Felipe, by the time you see this, Iâve already gone to see our two children who had no destiny in this world. However, before I left, I also broke Jeremyâs hypnosis.]
