Chapter 353 Disappearance
It was the Swann family's private jet!
We were supposed to leave tomorrow. Why did Cinder arrange for something to be transported here?
I walked toward the hospital with a light laugh
Olive indeed had a good eye for choosing friends. Despite Cinder's bossy, whimsical personality and numerous quirks, she's fiercely protective of her loved ones. When I called and informed her about Olive's situation, she immediately dropped everything and rushed here
However, all my pleasant feelings vanished when I opened the familiar room door
"What do you mean? Olive has already left?" My temples were throbbing, and the air under my nostrils felt thin
Rita looked surprised, "An hour ago, Cinder took Olive to the airport. Didn't they inform you?"
I clenched my fist, my nails digging into my palm, leaving deep marks
In an instant, it hit me. The private jet of the Swann family that I saw earlier must have had Cinder and Olive on board!
"Damn it!" After Rita left, I slammed my fist hard against the wall and turned to run back
Back in my room, I immediately picked up my phone
"Come to pick me up now, immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, I texted Cinder, but the red exclamation mark indicated she had already blocked my account. I quickly realized what had happened and hurriedly sent a message to Olive, only to receive the same "message failed" response
"Damn it!" I almost crushed the phone in my hand, and it took all my self-control not to throw it on the ground
I didn't know what had happened. Everything was fine yesterday; we were all happy and joking around. Why did everything change overnight?
As I sat on the plane departing from Antarctica, I forced myself through my memories, trying to find any overlooked details
Everything seemed to have changed after Cinder
appeared
After she got off the plane, the first thing Olive did was slap me across the face. Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment. I understood all that, considering I now knew how miserable Olive had been for these four years. Moreover, I was the reason why Olive came to Antarctica in the first place
I knew I was in the wrong, so I didn't retaliate and accepted the slap
But afterward, it seemed like Cinder didn't harbor any more hatred toward me. We even cooperated in punishing Sam Robin. In some ways, our approach to handling things was quite similar
So, what could be the reason?
I racked my brain but couldn't figure it out
It couldn't possibly be because of yesterday's question about my first love, right?
Due to a last-minute assignment, I could only land in Ushuaia and catch another flight. The latest information about the Swann family's private jet showed their destination was New York
It was a deliberate plan
During the flight to New York, I tried to contact Nick
The good news was that Nick hadn't blocked me
The bad news was that he had no information about Cinder and Olive. He was still working day and night at the research institute at
Harvard
"What happened to them?" Nick sensed something was wrong from my tone and kept asking
But I wasn't in the mood to explain right now. I didn't even know if he was pretending or genuinely clueless!
"Go ask your friends." I hung up the phone directly and even turned it off

My head was pounding! It felt like a hammer was rhythmically striking deep inside my brain
Since I announced my departure from Antarctica, my phone had been bombarded with calls from various people, almost making my ears bleed. But I had no interest in answering any of them
I just wanted to know why? After a long flight, I finally set foot in America
I turned on my phone and called my assistant, Morgan, to ask about any updates
"Any news?" When I saw him, I inquired about the information I had asked him to look into
Unexpectedly, Morgan shook his head. "I'm sorry, boss, but we haven't found any news about any new patient being admitted to the Swann family's private hospital."
"What about Cinder and Olive's whereabouts? I told you guys to keep an eye on them at the
airport and follow them as soon as they landed
Where are they?"
"I'm sorry, boss. They landed at the Swann family's private airport. We lost track of Cinder
and Olive." Morgan lowered his head with a guilty expression
I closed my eyes, pinched my nose wearily, and sighed deeply
"Where's the car?" Despite the slim chances, I still drove to Olive's new residence
But the doorknob's dust told me they hadn't been there. I wasn't surprised by this result but was getting increasingly frustrated
I couldn't understand
Where did it go wrong? They were avoiding me

"To the Swann family estate."
Given Olive's current condition, it was unlikely she wouldn't seek medical attention. Based on what I knew about Cinder, I thought she might have arranged for Olive to stay at their family's private hospital. But now that they weren't there, searching all the hospitals in New York would take time
It was better to catch them directly
Cinder had several addresses under her name, and the closest apartment to me was just a few streets away. But I didn't think she was hiding in any private residence. Of course, she wouldn't be hiding at her father's estate either
But as long as I kept waiting there, she would have to show up sooner or later
Not long after I arrived at the estate, Mr. Swann called me to inquire about the purpose of my
visit
"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Swann. Please forgive my sudden visit. But Cinder suddenly hid the woman I love and blocked all my contact information. I want to find her and ask her what I did wrong."
And so, before it got dark, a bright yellow Ferrari appeared at the estate entrance
Cinder got out of the driver's seat with an unhappy expression and came to stand before me
"I knew you'd use this trick to force me to appear, but I still have to say You're despicable!" Cinder didn't hold back and gave me two middle fingers
"Where is she?" I had no interest in arguing
with her
"She's in a place you don't know. She has undergone a comprehensive examination and is already asleep." Saying this, Cinder took something out of her silver Chanel handbag and handed it to me. "I came here just to give this to you."
It was a letter, not even in an envelope, just a piece of paper folded in three
"I know you must have many questions right now. Especially about why we left Antarctica without telling you and even blocked you
Everything you want to know is in here." She held out the letter toward me. "These are Olive's final words to you. After reading it, you two shouldn't meet again."
