CEO's Secret Husband
|49|. It's Worth Caring

Maribel's car had already driven inland where Egbert's castle was located. To his left right side filled with tall trees, they looked dark blackened because they were swallowed by night.

Suddenly a boar appeared out of nowhere, cutting off the front road. Maribel's reflex spontaneously slammed the steering wheel and just like that his car fell out of the way. Go into the bush and the wilderness. Maribel stepped on the brake pedal, wanting to stop the speed of his car.

But don't know why. The car does not want to be stopped. The brakes did not work at all.

"Yesterday was fine, why all of a sudden..."

Maribel panic. His foot stepped on the brake pedal but his car kept going forward. Ready to split the wilderness.

"Aa. how is this.." His heart was filled with worry and anxiety. He doesn't know how to handle the situation.

Frantic and anxious had clouded her mind, Maribel had lost focus on what lay ahead. A big tree loomed high and he...

Brak!

His car hit him very hard. His head did not hit anything, the seat belt firmly attached had restrained his body.

His eyes widened to find the front hood of his car that began to emit smoke.

Picking up his phone, he quickly got out of the car and ran away from his car timidly about to explode.

Silent.

Nothing's going on.

Let's just say Maribel didn't dare touch his car.

Unlocking her smartphone screen, Maribel is ready to contact Aldrich. Unfortunately, the phone battery is weak and dead.

"It's over"

Maribel was crouching in the middle of an empty valley. Trees rose and the wind blew with the singing of the night beast.

Hugging her strong body, Maribel continued to be frightened. He doesn't know where to go. Everything's dark. There was only a little moonlight and he was alone with the night wind downhill gripping.

"Aldricht..."

Her lips twitched, her face sank between her two knees and she cried as she pleased.

It had been about two more hours since Aldrich received a message from Maribel that he said was coming. But the woman still had not appeared in front of the door of her castle.

"It's good that he doesn't come"

His steps continued to go up the stairs. But in the middle of that, his mind just remembered Maribel's words...

'I'll come tonight. If I don't show up, remember to look for me'

"Did something bad happen to her?"

Aldrich felt a moment of panic.

"Ah, forget. It's none of your business" his head immediately shook without a care.

But her mother's words immediately crossed her mind...

'Unfortunately, Mama, I don't think you're this big. May you not be as apathetic and cold as papa. You will be a man with a conscience and warmth at the bottom of your heart'

"Yes.." Aldrich scooped his face off. Keep her heart together, she wants to not care. But remember her mother's message, she can't ignore her conscience.

"Yes, she's my wife and I deserve to care"

Like that, in the end he turned back his steps. Get down the stairs and get ready to go out.

"Where are you going, sir?" Asked Diana who had just finished tidying up the living room. He saw Aldrich taking the key and was in a hurry to leave.

"Finding someone" he answered briefly.

Diana let go of Aldrich with a puzzled wrinkled face, "Searching for someone?"

In addition, Maribel ran in fear to find the boar that was chasing him.

His cries broke like a torrential rain breaking a silent night. He continued to run as fast as he could while looking back occasionally. See how close the boar will pounce on him.

But in the middle of it...

Slacks...

"Argh..."

Maribel accidentally slipped and fell into the abyss.

What a pity his fate. He thought it would be his first night with Aldrich, after all the design in his brain.

Think it will be unforgettable, hot and passionate.

But what happened. He was trapped in a valley he did not know where and instead slipped down into the abyss.

His body that was dirty with moist soil that gave off the aroma of roots and grasses, looked curled up. His palms hurt because of the wounds slashed by wild plants.

Biting her lips, Maribel grew stronger crying.

"Aldrich..are you going to look for me?"

The name that had just been mentioned, had just arrived in front of Maribel's vast and large residence. Aldrich got out of his car and went to the fence.

"What's up, sir?"

"Is your lady inside?"

The security shook his head, "Young lady just left. It's been a while and it doesn't seem to be coming back tonight"

Aldrich's hunch immediately said something bad happened.

"Ah, then excuse me"

"Yes sir"

Aldrich got back in his car, held the steering wheel and thought hard, "He..Why is it possible that something bad happened to him?"
