Chapter 102
Carol’s C
car had already stopped in front of the house, and she got into the car and put on her seat belt.
“Let’s go.”
Carol drove the car out of the house.
“Stella, are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
“Your face doesn’t look very good.” Carol said directly. “Did you feel bad? Or are you fighting with Nathan? Or is it because of Victor’s grandmother?”
Carol is Stella’s friend from elementary school, so she knew Victor and his grandmother very well.
This time the grandmother passed away, it was a big blow to Victor, but what about Stella?
“That’s the normal situation for me and Nathan.”
Carol sighed and didn’t continue.
“This is a long trip. Looking at you, you definitely didn’t sleep well last night. Just rest. When we arrive, I’ll wake you up.”
Stella nodded, leaning back in her chair. She closed her eyes, but she didn’t want to sleep either.
Something had happened to her old grandmother, her whole mood and body were not calm.
The moment she closed her eyes, the image of that kind old grandmother appeared.
She couldn’t bear this torment, so she opened her eyes.
“You couldn’t sleep?” Carol looked at her.
She shook her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
said. “I also didn’t know how, the nanny “I know you’re thinking about Victor’s grandmother. Everyone couldn’t accept that…” Carol looked after her so that in the middle of the night she could run out. I felt that she was definitely looking for Victor, but she ran along the train tracks and went there. At that time it was dark, she couldn’t get away, so the accident happened. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the funeral home, there was no trace of it, it was completely destroyed… Grandma is a good person, how can
that be…”
By the end, Carol’s voice was full of sobs, and Stella’s tears began to fall too.
“Stella, do you think Victor would really be there?”
“Maybe, I can’t be one hundred percent sure either. But it’s a place he often goes with his grandmother.” Stella covered her eyes.
“Then we’ll go ther look for him. If we can’t find him there, we’ll go to other places and finally find him. We may not be do anything for him, but we can accompany him.”
“Yes!” Stella shifted her gaze to the landscape outside.

Outside, unexpectedly, it had Klready started to snow, the sky was still dark, as before, there was no sun.
The place they were going to was quite far away, even by car it would take about an hour.
When they were little, Carol, Stella and Victor lived here, then, one after the other, they moved away.
Carol drove her car to Victor’s grandmother’s house. Over the years, everyone had moved away in succession, except the old grandmother.
Victor thought about moving her out, but all the time, she loves living here.
After the accident, the maids left too, and now the house was empty
Stella and Carol got out of the car and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Carol was a little anxious.
“Stella, do you have a key? Maybe Victor is inside, but he’s not willing to open the door.”
“I don’t have one.“v Stella shook her head.
“Then we could just knock on the door.”
They knocked on the door for several moments and called Victor’s name, but there was no movement inside.
“Come on, presumably Victor isn’t inside.”
“Then what should we do? He’s not here yet, where would he be?” Carol said with some concern.
Stella thought for a moment and then pointed in a distant direction.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Carol followed her pointer, startled for a moment.
“You mean Mountain?”
“Yes, maybe he’s there.”
At the top of the Mountain is a temple. Victor’s grandmother is an adherent of Buddhism, so ever since she was little, she would always go up to do some volunteer work and would often take her and Victor up..
“So let’s go up there. But Stella, it’s snowing now, it’s not supposed to be an easy walk. We need to be careful.” Carol was more concerned about Stella’s condition.
“It’s allright. The road there has been rebuilt, so it wouldn’t be muddy.”
Carol rarely climbed when she was little, so she didn’t know about the situation.
“OK.”
They went back to
car, and a short while later, Stella pointed to a black car.
“That’s Victor’s car!” Carol recognized it and was happy, “Victor really is on top.”
Come on.”

Chapter 102
Come on, let me hold you. Carol knew it wasn’t easy for Stella to walk like this when she was pregnant.
Besides, she had a hard time conceiving this child, Liam needs this dild too, so they should be careful. Earlier, Stella asked Carol to go with her, also because she wanted someone to help protect her.
She is also very cautious and careful.
“It’s okay, you can just hold my hand.” Stella changed position to hold hands. They both followed the path and the cement stairs.
The mountain is quite high, so it wasn’t easy to get to the top. Even in the middle, the slope is already very steep.
Carol didn’t dare to be too fast, she held Stella and walked slowly.
“Stella, be careful.”
Not knowing how long it would take to finally reach the top, Carol then pointed to the temple.
“Will Victor be inside?”
“Let’s go in and have a look.” Although Victor isn’t a Buddhist, apart from his grandmother’s house, he often went to the temple, s0 it’s not strange that he’s inside.
But when they went in and looked, Victor wasn’t inside.
Originally, the place wasn’t normally very crowded, because the weather wasn’t very good today either, so there were fewer people around than usual, so the situation here was more peaceful and calm
That’s also the reason why the old grandmother likes to come here.
In her healthy years, she always came here every day. But when her health was gradually declining and her feet weren’t really comfortable, then she rarely came. However, as Victor knew her heart, every year he looked for a day with good weather, so he supported her with his hand and climbed step by step.
“Stella, what to do? His car is at the bottom, how can he not be here?
Stella stood on the ground and looked around.
“Come with me.”
Stella went to a place, it’s the back of the temple. There is a small road, they passed the road and finally they could see a tall figure.
Victor was sitting in the bushes. In front of him was a small stream that was freezing because of the winter.
