Chapter 180 Lela Goes Searching for Flora to Sylvester's Dismay

Lela peeked into the dining room, seeing the table set with a delicious breakfast but no sign of Flora. Panic quickly set in, her complexion turning pale. Instead of heading straight for the dining room, she rushed to look outside. Sylvester, taken aback, hurried after her. Lela ran desperately as tears welled up in her eyes. She lost her shoe, yet she continued to walk on the gravel without feeling the pain.

Otherwise, she feared she might lose Flora for good. Sylvester's face darkened with anger as he caught up to Lela, pulling her into his arms.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn't understand why she was crying, just that she couldn't stop. She was gripped by a terrible foreboding. Sylvester cradled her, refusing to let go. His visibly furious face soften ed at the sight of her tears.
