I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 616

He voiced his thoughts, and Steven's eyes were dark as he said coldly, "Because as long as I'm alive, she won't die."

Gordon replied, "...You have a strange sense of humor, sir."

Was there some rule that Mr. Lancaster had to die before his wife could?

Steven didn't respond, merely glancing at a nearby box containing a small pill. "Find her. As soon as possible."

Two more days passed.

The police investigation revealed that the driver had been hired. He'd been staking out the old man's residence, tailing him, and waiting for the right moment to strike.

He confessed who was behind it—a foreign number. He didn't know the person's identity, only that the payment was a house purchased through a real estate agent, with funds wired from an overseas account. Once a case involves international elements, it becomes incredibly difficult to trace.

The investigation had hit a dead end.

Zephyra wasn't implicated in any of it, but the text message and the blocked number were clearly suspicious.

Steven narrowed his eyes. The only way to get answers was to find Zephyra. There was no way someone overseas could have gotten their hands on her phone.

He instructed Gordon to handle it. The driver would likely be charged with attempted murder.

Mr. Lancaster Sr.'s condition improved, and he was secretly discharged to recover at home. As Steven drove him back, the old man asked worriedly, "Zephyra... still no sign of her?"

"No."

Mr. Lancaster Sr. sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow. "You have to find her. The girl likes me. The text message sounded like her, but I don't believe she'd hate me enough to block my number."
