Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 255

When i heard the news, I immediately pulled over

“How could he just disappear?” I began to worry. Guilt for Russel began to food my heart like a tidal wave.

Chloe was on the verge of tears, “I don’t know, he had a row with his family three days ago and then vanished. We cant find him.”

Knowing Russel, he wasn’t the type to just up and leave. So I figured the fight he had with his family three days ago must’ve been intense enough to push him to this

Because of my messed up decisions, Russel was put under a lot of stress and pain.

My anxiety was skyrocketing, if anything happened to him, I wouldn’t be able to handle the blame.

Chloe choked out a thank you’ and hung up the phone..

I was in no mood to go to the office, right now the most pressing matter was finding Russel

i tried calling Russel, but his phone was off. He didn’t respond to any of the messages and video calls I sent him on WhatsApp, it was as if he had just vanished from the face of the earth

Then I drove to his old apartment. Russel had given me a key card and the password to his place, so I dug out the card from my car and headed straight to his apartment

I opened the door and looked in the apartment, but I still found no sign of Russel. There was even a layer of dust on the furniture.

After looking for him for a while, I rushed to the hospital where Russel used to work, but still no luck.

By nightfall, I was still clueless

I gave Mitch a call and told him about Russels disappearance, asking him to lend a hand in the search.
