Before Doris could even finish her words, Jay interrupted her right away. "I've already told you
everything I should say. As for those I don't tell you, it's because I don't want to let you know about it.
Can you stop asking?"
These words left Doris astonished. The grievance that she had been keeping in her heart in the past
few days surged up. What did Jay mean?
Why did it sound like she had done something wrong?
Her man didn't come home all night. Couldn't she ask him where he had been, or what he had done?
With these thoughts in her head, Doris couldn’t help but be angry. "Jay, did you commit a crime last
night?"
If it wasn’t the case, then what? A man didn’t come home but took a walk by the river at night? Who
would believe it?
No matter how stupid Doris could be sometimes, she would never believe it.
Jay lowered his head and replied sarcastically, "Well, I killed someone."
At first, Doris wanted to make a big deal out of it, but when she saw Jay's angry face, she decided to
control herself.
After dinner, Jay asked the servant to bring Ace to him. He had been too busy recently so it was
understandable that he missed his son so much. As soon as the servant handed Ace to him, he began
talking to him as if the baby could reply.
"Ace. Do you miss Daddy? I miss you.
Wow, the clothes you are wearing today look so nice. Who bought them for you? Hold on. I remember I
bought it for you when I went shopping with your Mommy last time. I tell you, when you grow up, don't
go shopping with your Mommy no matter what. She has too many things to buy. She wants to buy
everything as if she wants to move the shopping mall back to our home."
For a moment, Jay stopped talking and laughed when he realized that Ace peed on him. "Ace, you're
so naughty. Why did you pee? Ah, I didn't expect you to pee on me. Now I have to go and change my
clothes. You brat."
Shaking his head, Jay handed Ace to the servant with a smile. Then he stood up to change his clothes.
Doris thought that maybe Jay should change into pajamas.
Listening to him as he spoke to Ace, Doris felt happy and content.
As long as Jay was at home, she had a home and it was okay for her to suffer any grievance.
When she went to the washing area to tidy Ace's used dirty laundry, Doris realized that it had been
silent for a while now.
There was no sound coming from Jay or Ace, so she thought that their son had fallen asleep.
But when she walked out of the washing room, Jay was nowhere to be found.
The first place she checked was Ace's room, but she only saw the servant sleeping with Ace on the
bed.
She went to the master's bedroom next, then to the study, but Jay wasn't there. Well, she searched
entire house but didn't find him.
A chill ran down Doris' spine. 'Where is he at this late time?' she wondered.
It couldn't be that Jay was an owl. Why did he go out at night? What was he doing outside at this hour?
After all, an owl came out to look for food at night. Why did Jay sleep during the day and go out at
night?
This question almost drove Doris crazy. She took out her phone and dialed Jay’s number.
Well, she got through, but his phone rang from the bedroom, which made her curse in her head.
This time, he didn't even bring his phone with him. Did this coward have any plan of coming back?
He called Hanson this morning and asked him to pick him up, but tonight, he didn't bring his phone with
him. Did he want to fall into the river and let himself die this time?
Thinking of this, Doris felt furious and worried at the same time. She quickly put on her clothes and
walked out of the garage to find him. As expected, she found a car missing. It was obvious that it was
driven away by Jay.
'You bastard! Don't drive into the river. If you do, it will be impossible for us to save you.'
Afraid that it would be too late to save Jay, she stepped on the gas and drove away.
It was cold outside and there were only a few cars on the road. After driving around the Pine River
twice, Doris didn't see Jay's car, which frightened her.
After she turned to the fifth circle and still didn’t find his car, she chose to call the police.
Soon, the police arrived. They drove the motorboat but found nothing in the river at midnight.
It was not hard to imagine how desperate Doris was. If it weren't for Ace, she would have jumped into
the river to look for Jay herself.
"Where are you, Jay?" At last, Doris shouted desperately.
The policeman looked at her sympathetically and tried to comfort her. "Don't worry. It's too late tonight.
We are all tired. Even if we get him out now, he might be dead. I think we'd better have a rest and look
for him at dawn."
Doris held herself despairingly and shook her head. "No, I have to find him."
The policeman sighed when she grabbed his hand tightly as she begged,
"Sir, please help me look for him again. If you find him, you can get as much money as you want."
"Alas, we are not doing this for money. The Pine River is so big. We have searched it several times.
The fish are almost pissed off by us, but we still didn’t see Mr. Fang."
"Don't worry. I think it's a good thing that we can't find Mr. Fang. Maybe he didn't fall into the river at all.
Maybe he is sleeping soundly in a hotel."
The police tried to persuade Doris.
Hearing this, Doris wiped her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Really?"
Nodding his head, the policeman replied, "Really!"
On a second thought, Doris agreed to the policeman's idea. 'That's right. Even if the police can't find
Jay after he jumped into the river, the car is easy to find. Now the police can't even find Jay's car.
Maybe, he is really not in the river.
But if he didn't fall into the river...
Where did he go?'
This question had been bothering her even after she said goodbye to the police and went home alone.
As soon as she got home, she poured herself a glass of water and sat on the sofa.
Confused of what happened to Jay, she couldn't fall asleep until dawn.
When Doris was in a daze, she had a dream. In her dream, she was walking alone on the snowy street.
There was no pedestrian or car in the boundless world. She was wandering like a ghost. She wanted to
find Jay, but she didn't know where to go.
That kind of despair was very cold. She held herself and looked everywhere aimlessly, not knowing
where she was going.
Like a drowning man, she felt suffocated again and again. She was almost unable to breathe.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone in front of her. She looked at it and found that Jay was standing in the
light.
He stood like an angel descending from the sky.
It gave her hope, so she ran over happily. She wanted to him, but she was voiceless.
Left without a choice, she just kept on running instead.
It didn’t seem so far, but after running for like a century, Doris still didn't get close to him.
"Jay, Jay!" Doris almost used up all her strength to shout, but her voice was so low that only she could
hear it.
All of a sudden, Jay smiled at her, but then he turned around and left.
