Chapter 865 He Neglected Her Feelings
Jason walked over and picked the piece of paper up. ‘Jason. This is the first time I’m referring to you by your name, right? I’m sorry I can’t leave with you. You’re the only person who has been nice to me in this world, and I know I should leave with you out of gratitude.
However, I simply can’t do that because I don’t feel good enough for you at all. You’re an amazing man—you’re handsome, and you’re from a wealthy family. You deserve to have an outstanding woman who wishes to spend the rest of her life with you, but I can’t be that woman for you.
I’ve married another man in the past, and I have nothing to offer you in the present. I can’t meet your standards at all. I’m so sorry for disappointing you after all that you’ve done for me.
I’ll find a way to return the money that I owe you. Please don’t try to look for me after I leave this place. I’m going to head somewhere far, but you’ll always be in my thoughts.’
Jason felt a pang of regret the moment he finished reading her note. He realized that he hadn’t considered her feelings at all. He hadn’t even asked her if she was willing to leave with him! After finishing the note, he hurried out to look for the nurses. “Excuse me! When did this patient leave the ward?”
“She… We don’t know either. She was gone when we made our rounds this morning.” Even the nurses weren’t aware of Savannah’s departure! Jason was too dumbstruck to do anything for a while. I have to find her. She’s a girl, and she’s all alone. Where can she possibly go? Her biological parents are certainly going to bring her home if she bumps into them.
With that thought, Jason hastily urged his men to head out and look for Savannah. I’m sure she can’t have traveled far since there aren’t many transportation methods in this town.
They only have a train… That’s right! A train! Jason and his men rushed over to the train station and tried to ask for the passenger’s information to see if there was a Savannah Murray who had boarded the trains earlier that day. However, her name was nowhere to be seen!
What other means of transportation could she have used if not a train? Jason wondered. “Let’s split up and look for her. I’m sure she’ll come over to board a train eventually.” After Jason gave his men the orders, all of them headed in their directions to keep a lookout.
The train station in this tiny town was extremely rundown. It wasn’t a major stop on the railway line, so the trains that arrived only stopped for a maximum of two minutes in this small station.
The chugging sound of the trains continued to fill the air, and Jason kept his eyes peeled as he looked at his surroundings. Savannah doesn’t have any money—she couldn’t have bought a train ticket on her own.
If she’s planning to leave this place, she must be planning to sneak her way onto the train! There’s a wasteland on the other side of the train tracks, so the villagers must know of some way to hide around the other side and sneak onto the train without being caught.
Upon that realization, Jason began to walk around the station to hunt for any hidden pathways nearby. Indeed, he found a tiny, zig-zagged pathway that led to the platform of the trains. Judging by the number of footprints on the ground, it was clear that a good number of people had attempted to sneak onto the trains through this footpath.
He followed the footprints into the dark pathway and had only walked for a while when he heard someone screaming in front of him. “Help! Help me!”
This voice… Jason ran toward the voice. There was a junction at the end of the path that led to another dark alleyway. There, he found Savannah being encircled by two malicious-looking men. “You can continue screaming.
No one’s going to save you even if you scream for the rest of the day! This part of the station is undergoing maintenance today, so there aren’t going to be any trains stopping nearby.” The two men wore perverted grins on their faces as they edged closer to Savannah. She fell to the ground.
Once Jason understood what was happening, he charged forward and kicked one of the men onto the ground. The other man collapsed onto the ground after Jason gave him a strong punch in his face!
Both the men were frightened when they saw the expensive suit that Jason was wearing, and they were too afraid to do anything to him. They scurried off without another word.
Jason felt a sharp ache in his chest when he saw the disheveled girl lying on the ground. Savannah turned her head away from him as she didn’t want him to see the way she looked then.
She had only informed him of her departure hours earlier, yet she nearly fell into the hands of some nasty strangers right after that. She felt like a complete idiot.
