9:48 Wed , Oct 15 : 21 92 Third Person's POV Only after Debbii left did Bryson seem to lose all his strength and collapse onto the bed . Her scent was painfully sharp ; whatever faint trace of Hedy's fragrance remained had been overwhelmed . He tightened his brow , feeling a deep and restless ache in his chest . At that moment , someone suddenly knocked on the bedroom door . He drew a long , sharp breath and bellowed impatiently , " Debbii ! I gave you the chance to leave ! Now , I guess , you really want to die , huh ?! " The hand at the door froze . A small voice came from the other side , trembling . " S - Sir , it's me ." Hearing his secretary , Bryson swallowed all his anger and let Kenn in . When Bryson saw the documents in the secretary's hand , the dullness in his eyes brightened for a moment . " Is there news about Hedy ? " Kenn hesitated for a moment , then nodded . He handed the file over . " We haven't been able to find Ma'am Hedy's current whereabouts , sir . We could only trace her route from the hospital to the airport ," he began . " It appears , " he continued , " someone was deliberately helping her hide any information about her whereabouts ." Upon hearing this , Bryson couldn't help but roar , " Didn't I tell you to use the company's power ? Go find more people ! We've spent so much time maintaining relationships every year . Isn't this the time to call them in ? " His shout made the secretary tremble . Kenn glanced warily at his boss before continuing in a careful tone . " If things were as they were before , sir , it wouldn't be a problem . But sir , the company has been in turmoil these past two days ; many eyes are watching us . Those contacts from before don't want to offer us assistance now . And according to them , whoever helped Ma'am Hedy hide her whereabouts is even stronger than Lundeberg Corporation . " The secretary was simply bitter and unable to speak of his pain . He himself also wanted to find Hedy badly . My Marriage Died in the Operating Room 1/3 71.6 % 9:49 Wed , Oct 15 Since she left , his boss's temper had only grown worse by the day . 92 To Kenn , talking to his boss felt less like dealing with a man and more like confronting a beast who had lost his mate . But whether the secretary wanted to find Hedy or not , it wouldn't change much about the whole situation . Thinking of those forces that obstructed his investigation , and looking at his disheveled boss in front of him , Kenn almost wished he could quit right then , if not for the decent pay this job offered . His words snuffed out the brief spark that had lit Bryson's eyes . The CEO mechanically took the files , plugged the flash drive into the computer , and numbly reached to open the surveillance footage . Before the footage even began , pain began to tighten his chest . For days now , he had wanted , more than anything , to see Hedy again , even if only a video or a photograph . Yet now that the surveillance was right before him , his courage faltered . From the moment he heard the reports , he had a premonition : Hedy might not be coming back . She had made her preparations and taken away the family Bryson had tortured . She was going to leave for good . At the thought , Byrson's hands trembled and his heart pounded until he could hardly stand . His lips turned pale . Yet despite the agony , the urge to see her won out . He clenched his eyes shut , then finally , he opened the first camera . The hospital footage appeared first . Hedy gathered her things and left with decisive , unhesitating steps . Even her back carried an air of resolve . Seeing that , Bryson felt a stabbing pain in his chest , and in just one second , he almost fainted again . After Hedy left , the hospital staff whispered and pointed behind her . " She's gone - that homewrecker ! Director Lundeberg is Debbii's boyfriend ; how dare Hedy try to steal him ! " " Did you know ? She even called before , asking why the director didn't pay her mother's medical bills . Dang , that was ridiculous ! He had nothing to do with her . She was the 21 213 72.8 % 9:49 Wed , Oct 15 one clinging on ! " ผล " Exactly . She thought the director would foot the bill for her mother ? As if she has any chance with him . Even if Sir Bryson used that money for our afternoon tea , he wouldn't pay for her mother . " " You see , if she had paid the bill herself back then , her mother wouldn't have died . If I had a daughter like that , god forbid , I'd strangle her . " The sharp laughter of the hospital staff seeped through the surveillance speakers into Byron's ears . His eyes burned red as if with blood ; he covered his ears with both hands . " Hedy ... Hedy , I'm sorry . I didn't expect they'd do this . I didn't mean to harm Mom . I paid for her treatment ... " he kept repeating , as if he could kill all those people with his words . The hospital footage played three times in a row . Only then did Bryson shake as he clicked the airport footage . He watched Hedy pull out her SIM card from her phone , snap it in two , and toss it into the trash without a second thought . She didn't even look back , even just once . By the time the clip ended , Bryson's eyes had bled red , and a strangled keening escaped him . He realized it then - it was he who had driven Hedy to despair . It was he who had allowed the hospital staff to judge her . It was all his fault ! The secretary stood shivering at the side , stunned by his boss's loss of composure . If not for the materials in Kenn's hands that he needed to deliver , he would have left the room long before . Thinking of this , his body trembled slightly . From his nervous and dry throat , he squeezed out his voice . " S - Sir , there are a few more things you may need to know ... " 21
