My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 616 Shawn’s Whereabouts

"Ma'am, this is your new phone. Waylen gave it to me before he left. Only Mr. Forger has called thus far."

"Which Forger?" I asked.

"Christopher. I told him of your encounter."

Oh, right. I didn't make it to the performance. I took the phone from Anthony. It was the same model I used. Waylen gave me the same phone when I first met Shawn. It was a matching set with Shawn's phone, and this design was exclusive to us. That thought warmed my heart up, but I was still sad.

Anthony left my room. Lying in bed, I thought about how badly hurt Shawn was. I wondered what he was doing, and if he was even alive. Colin hadn't called me once over the last two days, and I didn't know his number. He texted me once, but I deleted the message and blocked him out of annoyance. Yet, now I desperately needed his number.

A few minutes later, a woman outside said, "Ree's awake? I need to see her."

The woman approached me quickly and pulled me into her embrace, tears streaming down her cheeks. "When you didn't show up, I knew you were in danger. It took us days to find you."

I patted May's back. "I'm fine, don't you see?"

May let go of me. "What about Shawn?"

I answered, "He'll be fine."

"Yeah. He's awesome. He'll surely be fine."

I smiled. "You've been watching over me, haven't you?"

"Yeah. I was chatting with the neighbor when Anthony came out and told me you woke up. So, I came."

"Thank you, May," I said.

"We're good friends. I've known you for years, Ree, so you don't have to thank me. I was so worried."

I trusted May the most. "Thanks for watching over me, May."

May smiled. "As I should." She let go of me. "It's good to see you awake. Alfred's mother has fallen ill, so I need to leave in a bit," she said apologetically.

I held her hand and smiled. "It's alright. Go. I'll be here for a couple of days. I'll leave once I find out where Shawn is."

May nodded. "Take care now."

"I'll get some rest. You do what you have to."

"Call me if you need anything."

May left, but I couldn't sleep, so I summoned Anthony. He had been standing outside all this time, and he came in right away. "What will you need, ma'am?"

I asked, "How's the weather?"

"Sunny. Warm."

"Any wheelchairs around? I'd like to go around."

"Of course. A minute, ma'am." Anthony went to take a wheelchair and picked me up, then he placed me in the wheelchair and covered my legs with a white blanket. He also draped a black coat over me. "Is this alright?"

"Yes. How's Joseph doing?"

"He's being trained, just like how Gary was."

"Honestly, training Gary was redundant," I said.

Gary used to work for Ezekiel. He was capable enough—far beyond the need of any training. Still, I chose Anthony in the end. Gary didn't make it to second-in-command.

Anthony grunted. "So, you walked for three days?"

Yes, three whole days. Most of it with Shawn by my side. I would've fallen a lot sooner without him. He was the source of my courage. "Yes. It's getting warmer." Not as cold as it was before.

"I just called Waylen. He's on his way here. Ma'am, you told me to find Colin's location because he has…" The sentence was never finished.

"Yes. I was a bit angry just now. Waylen doesn't have to come over. Tell him to do all he can to find out who's trying to kill Shawn."

"Yes, ma'am."

Anthony went away and made a call to Waylen while I stared up into the skies, my mind filled with memories of Shawn. A sense of longing filled my heart, and I thought, Live, Shawn. Wait for me. I'll take you home soon.

"Oh, you're awake." I turned my head to the side and saw a foreigner in casual attire standing beside me. She smiled. "I saved you two days ago. This is my home. My husband and I found you unconscious when we went hiking a couple days ago. You've been out for days. That guy said you're his boss, so I took you in. I'd have taken you to the embassy otherwise."

I said gratefully, "Thank you, and yes, he's my employee. I lost my strength halfway through the hike, so I fell."

"Bit of good luck you ran into us, eh?"

What a friendly woman. "Thank you. Where's your husband? I'd like to thank him."

She said in Welian, "He's teaching in town. It's far from here, so he's only home during the weekends. I just called to tell him that you woke up. Oh, it's time to make dinner. I'll talk to you later."

She went into the kitchen, and Anthony came back. "Ma'am, I just called Waylen. He said he'll get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. On another note, this family is nice. They saved you, but they're not in the best financial position. I just heard that woman asking her husband for money to buy groceries, but he said it's not payday yet."

"Is it a big family?" I asked.

"Quite. I did a bit of research. They're the single child of their families. The couple is supporting all four parents and three kids."

A family of nine, held up by only a couple. I can imagine how bad it must be for them.

"Help them as much as you can, but don't just give them money right away. I'm tired. Take me back inside."

"Of course, ma'am."

I lay in bed and fell asleep thinking about Shawn. It was eight when I woke up. Anthony gave me Colin's number right away. "He showed up in London an hour ago, and he's booked for Ireland at nine."

He went to London and is booked for Ireland? No way he can lug Shawn around, not when Shawn's seriously injured. I need to call him. "Give me his number."

Anthony handed the number to me. I made the call, and he picked it up at once.

Colin happily said, "Ah, Ms. Felix."

I held my fury back. "Where's Shawn?"

"Oh, I thought we had a deal. You can't look for him as long as you live. Moreover, you still haven't paid me."

"How much do you want?"

"You're making it sound like I can ask for whatever amount I want." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I repeated, "How much do you want?"

"Shawn's a valuable person. I don't know how he's doing, but I don't think he's going to die. Thirty million, then."

Thirty million. A huge sum for him, but pocket change for me. Shawn and Diego bet cars that are worth ten times that in a single poker game. "Your account number."

"Lemme see… Personal accounts can't receive that kind of money. I'll give you my company's account number." I said nothing, and he muttered, "Small company compared to you guys. Ah, found it."

"Anthony, jot it down," I said.

"Yes, ma'am."

Colin recited his company's account number. "Pay me, and the deal is done. Anything else? I need to hang up now."

"Colin," I said.

"What?"

Stubbornly, I asked, "Where's Shawn?"

"No idea."

"What? What do you mean?"

Patiently, Colin explained, "K took him away that day. I have no idea whether he's dead or alive, but K promised he wouldn't kill Shawn right away."

He handed Shawn over to that killer? I gripped my phone tightly. "You let K take him away? What if K just leaves him for dead? Shawn desperately needed a doctor!"
