NovelAppChapter 1176 “Could you at least letknow where you're going next time?” Clark's eyes were even redder, his voice rough and strained.
Carol gently wiped away the tears that had fallen from his eyes. “You're a grown man. Why are you crying?" The moment she wiped his tears, fresh ones welled up, rolling down his face. His voice choked with hurt, "Why weren't you answering my call?" He looked at her with red-rimmed eyes.

“] don't even know where my phone is." She hadn't touched her phone since she woke up. In fact, she didn't even know where it was.
“Where did you go?" Clark asked, cradling her into the elevator, drawing the attention of many.
People watched as he inquired about the girl in his arms with teary eyes, his puppy-like demeanor tugging at their heartstrings.
With several pairs of eyes on them in the elevator, Carol didn't respond.
“You're dressed so lightly, and it's snowing outside. You're still recovering. What if you get a cold?" “| can accompany you wherever you want to go, do whatever you want to do, but you can't just disappear without a trace." his heart couldn't take it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you know how worried | was when | cback from grabbing breakfast and found the whole room empty? The nurses hadn't seen you and your phone was off. | didn't know where to find you" An elderly woman nearby was moved to tears, "Young lady, you scared this handsyoung man. He cares so much about you, don't break his heart. Where else can you find such a good man?" “Indeed. Someone who is willing to hold you like this in public, who cares about you so deeply, is hard to cby,” another woman chimed in. "If you don't cherish him, many others will. You need to hold onto him." Caught off guard, Carol didn't know what to say.
Clark quickly added, “Thank you both for your kind words. | still need to improve." The elevator dinged open, and Clark thanked the kind strangers, before turning to Carol again, "You still haven't toldwhere you went." “The morgue." Clark was taken aback, "I've been there too. Did you go while | was getting breakfast?" So they had missed each other? “Mhm." Carol figured he wouldn't be back for a while, so she decided to visit her foster parents.
Seeing their pitiful state, she felt suffocated and wanted to get sfresh air and see the snow.
She hadn't expected him to be this worried.
Seeing his reddened eyes, Carol felt a pang of sympathy, "I was only gone for a while and you're like this. What if" What if she couldn't be saved? What if the antidote wasn't developed, or she didn't take it in time? What would he do then? Clark thought she was about leaving him.
