She had really thought Oliver would come looking for her when she didn’t return to the hall. But clearly, her expectations had been too high once again.
She clearly remembered one time when Cecelia left town without telling anyone. Oliver had called the police and hired drones and helicopters to find her.
But now, even after a whole night without contact from his wife, he hadn’t even bothered to try and find her.
True to his words, the guard had returned with a warm blanket for her and called the ambulance. As they loaded her into the ambulance, she only had one thought.
‘So this is what it felt like when someone you loved didn’t feel even a shred of love for you.’
Her phone was handed to her just before they left for the hospital, and she checked it. Just as she had thought, there was no single call from or text message from Oliver.
Instead, she had several unread messages and missed calls from Sebastian.
[Lynn, I don’t think I can wait a whole month. I’ll be in New York for business in a week. I’ll come and get you then.]
Warmth spread through her chest as she read the message. She immediately sent back a reply. [I agree. A month is way too long. Come get me in a week.]
