Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 719

In the car park below the Thompson Group building, Shania sat in her car, hesitating. She had accidentally overheard Shein and Josie talking when she passed by the chairman's office. "What's happened to Wanda?"

Carlisle shot up from his seat. His face had been rosy with warmth from the grill, but it immediately turned pale.

Shania took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Wanda and Bianca have escaped from the rehabilitation hospital. The Murrays used their connections and have been searching for two days but to no avail."

Carlisle was startled.

He said perplexedly, "The rehabilitation hospital is so heavily guarded that even a mosquito wouldn't be able to fly in. How did they escape?"

"That's what I don't understand, either. Besides, the Murrays have connections all over the country. They even used the police force, but they still couldn't find any trace of them!" Shania said seriously.

Carlisle sat back down in a daze. Maple Hill was right outside the hospital. The cold snap had swept over the entire country in the past few days, and the highest temperature had been 26 degrees Fahrenheit. Yorskle was in the north, where the highest temperature had dropped to minus 22 degrees.

If Wanda had escaped at night, she would have had to endure extreme cold, down to minus 22 degrees. It was the kind of cold that would have pierced right to the bone!

Carlisle's heart ached, but a spark of hope was in his eyes.

"Has she gone back to Riverland?"

Shania's voice was low and heavy.

"We've checked the airports, train stations, truck stops, and car rental companies. No one has seen them, and there's been no sign of them booking any tickets."

"Alright," Carlisle answered hoarsely.

He hung up and walked to the side of the balcony, staring out at the endless night outside the window. He wondered about where Wanda had gone. He considered if the Murrays transferred her to another secret, private hospital and were releasing this news to cover it up.

Carlisle felt more and more uneasy. According to the trajectory of his previous life, Wanda should have been safe and healthy. However, his rebirth had changed many things.

From the moment he founded Alumni Network, Alistair's fate had changed. Every action Carlisle made could change the destinies of a whole group of people.

Carlisle called Bianca, but he only received the sound of an ice-cold signal that showed that her phone was switched off.

He looked up at the night skies and shouted through gritted teeth, "Damn you! You let me be born again, but was it just to make a fool out of me?"

Carlisle spent the night tossing and turning in anxiety and fear. He was afraid, worried, and at a loss. His emotions twisted together into a tangle, and he felt helpless.

Light dawned.

Carlisle raised his hand mechanically to call Bianca. When he heard the familiar busy signal, he hung up, changed into his trainers, and headed out for a morning run.

Shorelin River flowed across Riverland. After nine days of continuous low temperatures, a thick layer of ice had frozen on top of it.

Carlisle ran wildly along the shores of the river. His footsteps were heavy and urgent as if he was using all the strength he had to dispel the anxiety and fear in his heart.

"What's going on with the boss?"

"How would I know?"

"Why don't you ask?"

"Why don't you?"

Wendell and Francis ran with their fists clenched at their sides, maintaining a distance of several feet from Carlisle.noveldrama

Carlisle ran for an entire hour before stopping. He rested his hands on his knees while panting heavily.
