Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1573

After understanding what had happened, they found that there was a crack in one of the walls at the mental hospital that was being renovated recently. However, due to the continuous heavy rain, it was hard for renovation works to proceed as planned. Hence, due to the renovation being on hold, there was a gap in the wall.

The security in the mental hospital towards each patient was very strict, so no one would ever have thought that someone would manage to escape the facility, let alone a cripple.

Shelly neither returned to the Tremont Estate after escaping, nor did she look for Mark. He was worried that something bad would happen to her due to the recent bad weather and the fact that she was a penniless patient with no means of contacting others. How was she possibly supposed to continue her daily life?

Mark had brought along some men with him to find Shelly but to no avail. It was as though she had disappeared into thin air. The longer she was missing, the more Mark blamed himself for sending her into the mental hospital. If he had not sent her to the facility, nothing of the sort would have ever happened. Was he wrong by doing so?

It was a rainy night, and Mark returned home very late that night because he was out searching for Shelly. Based on his dark expression, it was obvious that there was still no news on Shelly’s whereabouts.

Arianne was waiting for Mark until midnight. “Still nothing?”

He did not even look at her. “Isn’t this what you wished for?”

Mark did not knock on the door, nor did he intend to coax her. Arianne cried non-stop throughout the entire night. She had accompanied him for so many years, even getting married to him and bearing his son. She did not intend on wrestling with Shelly on who meant more to Mark, but she just could not understand how a woman whom Mark had not met for so many years could easily replace Arianne’s position in his heart.

Spending a decade together was not enough to replace an actual blood relationship, was that it? Wasn’t it Mark who had gone to such extreme lengths in order to keep her by his side? Wasn’t it he who said that he loved her? Did he not know that a casual rant out of anger from him was enough to make her suffer for a long time?

The next morning, when Arianne brought Smore downstairs for breakfast, Mark was around as well. He did not have the habit of checking his phone while eating, but now he was actually making phone calls as he ate. Naturally, it was to try to find out the whereabouts of Shelly. When he saw her, he did not give any kind of reaction but was instead fully focused on his phone.
