The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 880 She Has Left

Being trapped in the utility room, Miya is in despair, for there is little hope that someone will come to find her. She has no strength left to bang on the door now. What's worse, she can't even say a few words loudly, let alone shouting for help.

Could it be that she accidentally locks the door just now? All of a sudden, she collapses onto the ground dejectedly. She will probably be trapped here for a long while. She wonders if someone will come to save her. However, given the fact that few people pass by here, she knows that she shouldn't be so optimistic.

She doesn't even have any electronic devices with her. This time, she is in a real pickle.

Leaning against the door, she is hungry, cold, and tired. She feels so weak that she slowly closes her eyes. Will she die soon? She feels that she won't be able to hold on for long. Why does she feel so tired living in this world?

Another absurd thought occurs to her.

'Alex, will you remember who I am after I die?' she thinks to herself.

...

Rory walks around the room, feeling puzzled. Miya is still a patient. Why does she suddenly disappear? Seeing the director standing right in front of her, she immediately runs over to ask, "Director, did you see Miya? Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye? She's still sick."

Feeling guilty, the director deliberately changes the topic. "Why do you show concerns towards that woman again? You should take good care of the children. That woman is not here anymore. Maybe she has already gone home."

Rory is quite sure that Miya will by no means go back so quickly.

"Director, it's impossible for her to leave." After all, she has seen everything done by Miya. It's raining heavily now, and Miya has kneeled outside for so long. How could she choose to leave so easily?

"Anyway, that woman is unwanted here. You don't have to care about her so much. To tell you the truth, it was that man who came to bring her home. After all, she wouldn't leave on her own. It's unnecessary for you to overthink this matter. I still have something to ask you to do for me, which means you don't have enough time to care about these pointless things now."

The director says all this in a hurry, but Rory is still doubtful. She can't figure out why Miya leaves in such a hurry.

"Actually, the orphanage is a little short of funds. I need you to go out immediately to solicit sponsorship. Otherwise, the orphanage will soon be demolished. I've already made an appointment with a company's representative. If you don't set off now, you might be late." Without waiting for Rory's answer, the director pulls her out and forces her into a van. Then, she asks the driver to send Rory to the designated place.

After seeing the van leave, the director finally heaves a sigh of relief, because she knows that Rory shouldn't know about this matter. After all, she wants to torture Miya so that she can take the initiative to leave here.

She doesn't know what is going on with that woman now. Therefore, she deliberately passes by the utility room in the backyard, only to find that it's rather quiet inside. Normally speaking, that woman should be shouting loudly for help now. Could it be that she has fainted?

She wants to open the door, but after a moment of hesitation, she decides to check the situation by the window first. After looking through the window, she sees Miya lying on the ground. Realizing that she has fainted, the director is surprised at her weakness. No wonder this woman doesn't even shout for help. But when the director is about to open the door subconsciously, she is shocked by her reaction.

What is she doing now? How could she have the idea to save Miya? She should just stand by and see her suffer. It doesn't matter even if Miya dies. After all, she can claim that Miya dies by accident.

As long as Miya dies, no one will snatch away her daughter's beloved man. In that case, her daughter will lead a happy life. Since this is the best of both worlds, the director decides not to save Miya.

'I am sorry. It's all your fault, for you have become my daughter's rival in love,' the director thinks to herself.

It's not her intention to lock Miya up in the utility room, for few people will come to the backyard to save her. But for the sake of her daughter, she has to harden her heart. The director walks over to the front yard again. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly bumps into a sturdily built man, which almost scares her to death. She looks up and is surprised to find it is John.

John stares at her with a strange look. Why does the director look so furtive today? It seems that she has done something bad.

"Director, what are you doing here?"

"I just came to see how everything is going with you and the children. I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters to attend to." After saying this, the director hurries back to her office.

John even feels that the director escapes from him out of guilt.

Just as he wants to go to the ward to check Miya's condition, he notices that the ward is empty. He begins to feel depressed, and he can't help frowning more deeply. That woman has gone through a lot of hardships to stay in the orphanage, but she leaves without saying goodbye.

However, judging from her appearance, he is sure that she has been severely injured. How does she leave on her own?

Damn it! Why is he worried about her? Shouldn't he be looking for Rory now? After taking a deep breath, he suppresses his emotions and turns around to leave. He desperately wants to drive Miya away from his world, for she means nothing to him. He can only find happiness when being with Rory.

After he gets the children settled, it is already late at night, and Rory finally returns. Her negotiation with the sponsor today has exhausted her. Since she still worries about Miya, the first thing she does after returning back is to find John and ask, "Did you find Miya?"

"Didn't she leave long ago?" John says in a cold tone.

"But where can she go in such bad health?"

Only then does he realize that something is wrong. Is it possible that something dangerous has happened to that woman?

"Rory, I know you're exhausted today. You should have a good rest first." John is reluctant to waste his time with her, for he is determined to find Miya as quickly as possible.

"But..." Rory still wears a worried look. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"I know what you're worried about. Things will work out. If she has indeed left, then just let her go. But if she is still here, I will definitely find her."
