Chapter: 1183

He got her into this trouble, so he was willing to do anything to rescue her.

As much as his mind wanted to go on, his body couldn't keep up any longer. Eventually, he fell back to the ground and lost his consciousness.

‘Is it raining?'

After some time, Victor was somewhat awakened when he felt droplets of rain falling on his face. He struggled to open his eyes, but his vision was still blurred.

He just lay there on the ground, watching the raindrops fall.

He couldn't help but wonder if he was still alive. His consciousness hadn't fully recovered yet, so he thought that he might be dreaming.

But soon enough, the sharp pain that pierced every inch of his body made Victor realize that he was still alive.

"Shelia..."

Victor wanted to stand up, but he couldn't move even an inch. He could only move his hands a little bit, grabbing the mud under his hands in vain. Trying his best, he turned his head to look at the river, only to find that there was nothing in it anymore. There was no trace of Shelia.

“Ahem!" Victor coughed violently, spurting out more blood.

Forcing himself, he grabbed unto the soil and opened his eyes as wide as he could. He looked at the river expectantly, as if he was waiting for something to show up. He waited for a long time. In fact, he didn't even know how much time passed by. But he never found the person he had been waiting. He hoped that someone would raise her head from the river or come out from somewhere and call his name.

Due to loss of blood and the excruciating pain he was experiencing,

Victor couldn't keep himself awake. Eventually, he lost consciousness again.

When Victor woke up again, he was finally saved. Carolyn's subordinates found him near the river. The operation to rescue him lasted for two days and two nights. After a doctor's diagnosis, it was found out that Victor had fractures in eight different body parts.

The bones in his right knee were shattered, his chest and lungs were inflamed, and the critically ill notice was issued six times.

The first thing Victor did after he woke up was ask Carolyn to send people to look for Shelia.

He was still wearing an oxygen mask and struggled speaking. His Life was not completely out of danger yet, but all he cared about was

Shelia. Carolyn didn't even know who Shelia was, but she could sense that she must be a very important person due to his concern for her.

Therefore, she didn't dare delay to send people to search for Shelia along the river.

The search lasted for seven days, but Shelia couldn't be found.

One week passed and there was still no news about Shelia. All

Carolyn was able to give Victor was a crumpled playing card that got wet from the rain and then dried by the sun. Its surface was mostly covered with mud, but one could easily recognize that it was the

King of Hearts.

Two years later, Victor completely recovered. The first thing he did after fully recovering was buy a graveyard. He put the King of

Hearts card in a box and buried it under a tombstone.
