His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1389 Did You Get Injured

In an unlucky coincidence, just as Cassie was about to approach Nick, another movie had finished

causing a stream of people to rush out of the cinema abruptly and block her path.

"Sorry! I didn't see you there." One of the people apologized as he accidentally stepped on Cassie's

foot.

Cassie shook her head and stood on her tiptoes to look over the crowd anxiously. Unfortunately, Nick

was gone.

"Damn it!"

Cassie stood there, clenching her fists in disappointment. She was certain that it was Nick.

She was also certain that she had seen a female companion by his side. The woman had a tall figure

with long hair which draped over her shoulders. Cassie figured it must be the person whose hands she

had seen in the photo.

Cassie's heart ached. Although she hadn't seen the face of the woman and her conclusions were only

based on assumptions, she knew that a man would not have come to the cinema all by himself to

watch a movie.

'Since when did Nick come back? And why didn't he contact me?

Did he fall in love with another woman?' Cassie was so upset.

She couldn't find a way to calm herself down. Caught up in her own despair, she even forgot about

Cora who was still watching the movie in the cinema. At a complete loss, Cassie walked along the road

aimlessly, paying no attention to the people and things around her.

Suddenly, the sound of her cell phone ringing in her pocket caused her to stop walking.

Cassie was distracted by the familiar song she had set as the ringtone. Instead of answering the call

immediately, she left it ringing until the caller hung up. Then she slowly took out the phone to find out

who the caller was.

It was Cora's number.

Suddenly, Cassie remembered that Cora was still waiting for her at the cinema, so she immediately

called back.

"Cassie, you've been in the washroom for a long time. Is everything okay? The movie just ended.

Where are you?" Cora was on the verge of tears, fearing that Cassie had been abducted again.

Cassie bit her lip, feeling guilty for worrying Cora. She immediately explained, "I wasn't feeling well so I

walked out for some air. Don't worry. I'll come and see you soon. Right now, I am at..."

Cassie looked around, but found nobody around her. After standing there for a while, she realized she

didn't know where she was.

'God, where am I? I must have walked a long way. No wonder I feel so tired and my feet are so heavy.'

The long silence gave Cora a cause to worry and she anxiously asked, "Cassie, what's wrong? I'm so

worried about you. Where exactly are you right now?"

"I..." Cassie was just about to tell Cora that she was okay and that she had walked a little far from the

cinema, but the call got disconnected as her phone battery died.

Distressed, Cassie held her cell phone and stood there wondering what to do next. She whipped her

head about and found that she was the only one there.

'How do I contact Cora? She's been worrying about me for this whole evening. Unable to contact me,

she's going crazy! I need to get in touch with her as soon as possible!'

Like a cat on hot bricks, Cassie walked ahead anxiously. She hated herself for being so careless and

she hated herself from coming out of the cinema in the first place.

However, regret wasn't going to help her. Her only option was to walk back in the direction she had

come, hoping to reach a place where she could hail a taxi.

Cassie staggered onward, her weak legs trembling with every step she took. She was so tired that all

she could think of was a safe place where she could lean against something.

Meanwhile, after the call got disconnected, Cora called Cassie again, but found it had been switched

off. Consequently, Cora's heart started palpitating and her sweat glands went into overdrive. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

'Is Cassie in danger?'

Cora immediately called Jordan and told him what had happened and that Cassie might be in danger.

"I'm coming over. Don't worry. Since she was walking, she couldn't have gone too far. I should be able

to find her by driving along the way towards the cinema. Unless she ran into some trouble... In which

case, I'm not sure what to do," said Jordan.

"Jordan, you must find Cassie! I don't even want to think what will happen if a young woman like her fell

into the hands of street thugs!" Cora pleaded.

"I know. I have set off. You should go back home first. Be careful," Jordan answered.

He drove the car along the way to the cinema at an incredible speed, looking out his window from time

to time. Whenever he found someone who looked similar to Cassie, he would slow down and take a

few more looks.

After driving for over ten minutes, he reached a fork in the road which was about eight miles away from

the cinema. It was very remote and the traffic was inconvenient. Only a few people would choose this

way.

Jordan hesitated for a while before driving head on. If Cassie got lost somewhere in downtown, she

would be safer. As an adult, she would manage to find her way home. However, things would be very

different if she ended up taking this remote and inconvenient route.

Jordan drove the car slowly to search for Cassie. After a while, he saw a girl sitting at the side of the

road, massaging her feet. Looking from behind, she looked very similar to Cassie.

Jordan sped up and stopped the car close to her. He opened the door and rushed towards the girl.

Fortunately, he had guessed it right. It was none other than Cassie!

Extremely relieved to see her, Jordan called out to her excitedly, "Cassie!"

Cassie was so tired that she decided to rest for a while. While she was rubbing her legs and feet, she

heard a familiar voice. At first, she thought it was just her weary mind playing an illusion until a pair of

strong arms pulled her up.

"Jordan!" Cassie cried out surprisingly when she saw the man's face.

She never expected Jordan would have shown up here.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Distressed, Jordan looked at her with concern.

Cassie shook her head, not knowing how to explain herself. In fact, Jordan was the last person she

wanted to see. However, ironically, this man appeared in front of her when she was in trouble.

"Cora called me just now. I was worried that you might run into trouble, so I came as fast as I could.

You don't look so good. Let me take you to the hospital." Cassie's silence added to Jordan's anxiety

and he was about to pull her hand.

However, Cassie drew her hand back to avoid his touch. Then, without word or warning, she turned

around to walk away. But the moment she lifted her foot, a sharp pain shot up her legs and caused her

face to contort in agony.

"Did you hurt your feet?" Jordan just noticed that Cassie's feet had swollen up. Although she was

wearing sandals, he could see that her toes were not only swollen, they were frayed and bleeding as

well.
