Chapter 515
After getting back to the villa, Lucy began preparing the ingredients to cook. "Wanda, I'll teach you how to make slow-cooked ribs today."
"Lucy, my stomach hurts today. I'll learn how to cook some other time."
"You didn't get food poisoning, did you? I'll take you to the infirmary to have a look."
"I'm fine. This is a recurring issue for me. I often get diarrhea before and after my period," Wanda said before hurrying upstairs.
After getting back to her bedroom, she closed the door and took out the note to open it.
There was only one word on the note.
Carlisle.
Carlisle? There was a flash of confusion on Wanda's pretty face.
It was someone's name.
However... Who was he?
Wanda scrunched up her forehead as she thought hard about it.
She thought about it for a long time but could not remember anything about the name.
If Carlisle could arrange for someone to find her here, he must be a force to be reckoned with.
That man at the gates hadn't been an average person either.
Wanda took out her diary and flipped to her high school seating chart.
Was Carlisle the name that she could not remember?
Did her missing memories have something to do with him?
Wanda murmured to herself, picked up a pencil, and wrote Carlisle's name in the empty box.
It took Kevin three hours to drive out of Maple Mountain.
By the time they got out, it was already dark.
Kevin rubbed his red and swollen collarbone. "Damn it, that guy really didn't hold back!"
Wendell laughed and said, "At least we've found Wanda!"
Kevin asked, "What do we do next?"
Wendell lit a cigarette and blew out a stream of smoke. "Boss wants us to stay and protect Wanda, but this is clearly an impossible mission. We just need to tell him about Wanda's current situation, and our job will be done!"
Kevin asked again, "Did you leave Wanda a note?"Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Wendell nodded. "I wrote the name of the boss so she'll know he hasn't forgotten about her. I wanted to show her how he even went to all the trouble of getting us to find her."
Kevin chuckled. "Can we have meat tonight?"
Wendell glared at him. "Is eating meat all you think about? We used to eat tree bark when we went on missions in the past, and you didn't starve. Look at you! You've only just retired from the force and have already gained ten pounds!"
Kevin looked aggrieved and said, "That's because I'm sick of going hungry!"
He tugged at Wendell's sleeve again. "Let's have some meat, please!"
Wendell took out his phone to order some food. "I'll get you a whole roasted suckling pig tonight. Don't even think about leaving before you finish it all!"
That night, Carlisle sat in front of his computer, browsing Alumni Network.
In a single day, the number of registered users had already surpassed 20 thousand. Alumni Network was having a staff dinner that night, but Carlisle hadn't joined them. He exited the website and sat back in his chair, feeling rather empty.
His phone vibrated on the table.
He picked up his phone, and his eyelid twitched violently when he saw Wendell calling.
He took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Boss, we've found Wanda!"
"Where is she? Is she alright? Has she lost weight?" Carlisle asked in one breath.
Wendell said, "She's in a private psychiatric rehabilitation hospital. She looks like she's doing alright, and she's gained weight compared to her photo!"
Carlisle grinned dumbly.
This was the first time he had smiled genuinely since Wanda had left half a month ago.
Wendell continued, "However, we may not be able to fulfill our mission of staying to protect her. That place is so heavily guarded that even a fly couldn't get in!"
"What kind of place is that?" Carlisle's chest tightened.
If Wanda was in a place like that, wasn't it the same as if she was in prison?
Wendell told him about how the hospital looked and the military personnel stationed there.
Carlisle clenched his teeth and said, "It sounds exactly like a prison!"
Wendell sighed and said, "The only difference is that they lead comfortable, lavish lives in luxurious surroundings. All the supplies they ordered are very expensive products!"
