Chapter 120 Hearing the last part of the statement , my father could no longer control himself and grabbed Billy by his collar . His face contorted with fury as he roared , " Why did you wait until now to tell me such crucial information ? Where are the police ? Get them to search immediately ! I demand the truth ! I need to know where my daughter is right now ! " " } ] Aidan also grew agitated . " What are you lot still doing here ? If my sister escaped back then , she must be nearby ! Why haven't you searched ? If anything happened to her , I'll hold every one of you accountable ! Find her now ! If you don't bring Susan back , none of you will ever show your faces again ! " } After he finished roaring , Aidan was the first to rush excitedly into the villa . When he learned that his sister might not have died , he felt as if he had come back to life . While celebrating with Sally at the company , he had felt a deep sense of unease . It was as if something had happened without his knowledge and he felt like he had lost a precious treasure . In the past , whenever this premonition appeared , it meant something had happened to his sister . But in the last few years , this feeling hadn't appeared for a long time . So , when it emerged , Aidan didn't pay attention and ignored it . Little did he know that the phone call from our father , the very next moment , would deliver a crushing blow . He had " lost " his blood - related sister . in that moment , even the collapse of heaven and earth couldn't describe Aidan's devastation . He forced himself to remain composed , yet the whispers of those around him shattered his defenses . Those people , how dare they speak of his sister like that ? " To him , I was the best sister in the world . I was kind , pure , passionate , deserving of the world's finest things . How could these people speak of me like this ? But the next moment , the guests ' disdainful , even mocking , attitudes made him realize that it was the things he and our father had done that had handed these people a weapon against his sister . " In other words , he had personally destroyed my reputation , my body , my purity , everything . " Thinking of this , Aidan felt his heart being torn apart . " When he heard the villa had caught fire and I hadn't escaped , for a fleeting moment , he wished he could simply go with me . " No matter what I had done , I remained his sist How could he ever hurt me? Rage , regret and agony y flooded his heart . He wasn't blind to Sally's subtle disparagement and sowing of discord . Still , he desperately wanted to believe her words at that moment . If everything unfolded as Sally claimed , then I was still alive . As long as his sister lived , he hadn't lost everything . " This thought gave him hope , but that glimmer of hope flickered like a candle in the wind , precariously unstable . When he saw the burned - out villa with his own eyes , Aidan's mind went blank . He didn't know what to do next , nor could he comprehend what had transpired at the scene . Twenty years of memories with me echoed through his mind . I had been born into his world , born into his longing . He had guarded me for over twenty years ; how could I have died quietly in a place he didn't know about ? He already knew what he had done wrong ; he was willing to atone for his mistakes with his life ; he was willing to pay any price . He just wanted the gods to give his sister back to him . Just then , Aidan , who had never believed in spirits or deities , found himself praying . " Soon , Billy's words snapped him back to reality . Perhaps his prayer to the gods had been answered and his sister might finally return to him . Aidan went mad as he thought about it . He frantically searched through the charred ruins of the villa . Unfortunately , no matter how hard he searched , he found nothing within . Suddenly , as if realizing something , Aidan rushed outside and began searching the forest surrounding the villa . The villa was backed by a mountain . If I had fled the fire , I might have wandered into that area.N This possibility reignited his hope . % " Susan , Susan , where are you ? Susan ! I know I was wrong . If you come back , I'll apologize . You can do whatever you want . I'll always be by your side . " % Aidan shouted incessantly , his voice echoing through the empty forest , " He combed through every patch of grass meticulously , not missing a single trace.N He was terrified that his own mistake might cause him to lose his sister again , the one he had fought so hard to keep alive.N " Susan , I shouldn't have stood by Sally . I shouldn't have abandoned you . I know I was wrong . Where are you ? " N Later , more and more people joined the search for me . " The forest was only so large and the area surrounding the Shermans ' villa was limited . If I were truly within these boundaries, they would have found me by now . If I weren't , it could only mean one thing : I had likely ventured into the back mountains . Aidan felt utterly hopeless at those ideas . flight .
