Standing in the villa, Adam had never found the place he used to see as a harbor was so cold before.
He assumed composure until Rose and Caesar left. He heard himself say, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"The rescue team will keep working. No news is the best news. Tracey must be alive," they comforted him.
"Mm. I'll get some sleep first. Call me if you find anything."
"Okay. See you." The two of them were exhausted too. None of them had had a good rest since the accident.
Rose was so tired that she could sleep on her feet.
In the villa, Jane quietly looked at Adam with red eyes.
"Sir, Miss will be fine. I'll go prepare you some food." Jane quickly walked to the kitchen before she cried out. She missed Tracey too.
The house was warm but Adam shuddered as he carried heavy steps upstairs.
Everything in this house was a reminder of Tracey.
The walk to their room drained him completely. He looked at the crinkled mattress and the scattered papers on the table.
Adam approached the table and grab a piece of paper. Heart-wrenching sorrow overwhelmed him when he saw what was on it.
He couldn't quell his tears anymore and cried like a lost boy.
It was Tracey's designs of rings.
He remembered her delighted voice saying, "I have a surprise for you, Adam."
"Do I have the honor to know it now?"
"If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise."
"Fine. Then I'll come back early."
"I'll pick you up from the airport." Those designs must be her surprise.
One of the designs got an A&T on it, the initials of their names.
His tears fell on the paper and seeped in soon. He could visualize her dedicated face when she'd drawn those designs.
"Little bunny... Where are you..." Adam pressed the paper against his chest as if he could get closer to her in this way.
Adam fished out his phone and listened to all the voice messages she'd sent him.
"Adam, don't skip your meal. Take your time. I'll wait for you at home."
"Adam, it's getting warm now. I want to wear dresses. You can't say no this time."
"Adam, I just signed with a big company. I am one step closer to you."
"Adam, I've taken my medicine and meals on time. You'll see a little fat bunny when you come back."
