Ran Away
There was still no reply.
As Carla did not dare to go in, she could only continue speaking outside. "Derela, I know you're helping to treat my husband. Regardless of the outcome, I'm very grateful to you. I only want to know his current condition. Also, the kids miss him…"
As soon as Carla finished speaking, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from the backyard. The woman's heart skipped a beat and she rushed over immediately, only to see an old van driving away.
She has escaped…
Carla watched as the van drove off. She saw an eagle and a snake on the roof of the van and was certain that the person inside the vehicle was Derela.
She immediately chased after the van while shouting anxiously, "Derela! Derela! Please don't go!"
However, Derela ignored Carla completely and sped off.
Carla could hardly believe that such an old and worn-out vehicle could travel at such a fast speed!
Derela's driving skills were even more impressive than Rogan's.
The distance between Derela and Carla was widening and there was no way Carla could catch up with the woman. Carla thought of chasing after Derela in a car but she did not want to risk offending her future sister-in-law.
Carla stomped her feet in frustration. With no other choice, she returned to the loft in the backyard. Over there, she saw some items that Derela did not have the time to pack, including Chinese medicine dregs, clothes, medical gauze, and medicine containers.
Seems like Derela was indeed treating Zayn here.
Just as Carla was deep in thought, she suddenly noticed a few words that were scribbled next to the flower pot. As the handwriting was almost illegible, it took the woman quite a while to make out the words.
The words read: Zayn is alive. I'm treating him!
Just that simple sentence was enough to ease Carla's worries, and she cried tears of joy.
Even though she had previously suspected that that was the case, she could not be completely sure without any confirmation. With Derelo's words, she could finally stop worrying.
Zayn is still alive. He's still alive…
That's great!
As long as he's still alive, there's nothing I'm afraid of!
However, what remained puzzling to Carla was that Derelo still chose to run away and did not want to speak to her even though the former had already dismissed everyone else.
Carla understood that Derela did not want to meet anyone. However, it was odd that the latter had chosen to avoid her.
Besides, her husband was getting treated by Derela.
While Carla was still trying to figure out the reason, she suddenly heard footsteps outside. Immediately, her gaze sharpened as she took out her gun.
The other party seemed to be aware that there was someone inside as well and was also on high alert.
However, when the figure got closer, both of them were stunned.
"Ms. Lierger?"
"Harrison? It's you? Why are you here?"
Both Carla and Harrison were shocked to see each other. After clarifying, Carla found out that Daemon had been searching for Derela. To find her, he had sent his right-hand man, Harrison, from Erihal.
After hearing Harrison's explanation, Carla asked in confusion, "Isn't Derela together with Daemon? What's going on?"
"It's a long story, " Harrison replied. "Mr. Lierger has instructed me to take her back to Erihal. Do you know where she is?"
"She has just escaped, " Carla replied, sounding a little dejected. "I couldn't catch up with her."
"Seems like I've got more work to do then." Harrison sighed and continued, "Ms. Lierger, there's no time to waste. I need to continue looking for her. Please take care!"
With that, Harrison led his men and left from the back gate.
"Hey!" Carla called out, but Harrison left quickly and did not turn back.
Carla finally knew why Derela had run away immediately after seeing her. It was because the woman knew that Daemon was looking for her. She was afraid that she would be taken back to Erihal if she had left with Carla.
However, Carla could not understand why Derela had to hide from Daemon.
Didn't they make up already?
