Chapter 158: Chapter 158 What Made Him Search for Her for Many Years

Chloe Simpson felt as if her entire world had been shattered in an instant, like being struck by thunder out of a clear sky. Every drop of blood in her body seemed to rush to her head all at once.

Meanwhile, Alexander Johnson’s fist landed with a loud "bang" on the floor-to-ceiling window. The glass cracked under the force, and had it not been shatterproof, both he and Chloe would certainly have been injured.

"!"

Chloe stood there in stunned silence, waiting for Alexander’s response.

She could hardly believe her ears.

What did he mean he had been searching for her for years? Waiting for her for years?

As for Alexander, the pain and numbness from his fist jolted him back to clarity after that punch.

His eyes darkened as he glanced at Chloe. Without another word, he turned and walked away.

Chloe could only watch as Alexander walked out, his earlier words still ringing in her ears.

He said she was trying to drive him to his death?

And that he had been waiting for her, looking for her?

Ha!

After a long while, Chloe chuckled bitterly.

What nonsense. Alexander must have been drunk; he couldn’t have been talking about her.

She had never known him before. She was completely certain that she had never met Alexander Johnson in her entire life. How could he have been searching and waiting for her?

Yes, Alexander had simply made a mistake while drunk.

Finally, Chloe firmly planted this thought in her mind, then turned and went into the bathroom.

After washing up, she went straight to bed to rest.

Since Alexander had let her go, she should feel relieved, right?

With this thought in mind, Chloe quickly fell asleep once she lay down. Yet, she had a dream after she drifted off.

In her dream, she returned to her childhood, finding herself trapped in a pitch-black hole.

Terrified, she cried out loud, screaming for help, but no one came to save her.

In the end, her voice broke into a raspy whisper, and when she could no longer scream at all, despair consumed her.

She thought she was going to die in that hole.

But just then, a voice appeared by her ear.

"Don’t give up. Believe in yourself! As long as you don’t give up, there will always be hope!"

"Who? Who are you?"

Chloe hugged her small childlike self tightly, frantically scanning her surroundings, but she couldn’t see anyone.

When she lifted her head again, her vision suddenly turned blank. Then, a figure appeared.

That figure seemed so close, as if it was right in front of her, almost within reach. Yet, no matter how she stretched out her hand, she couldn’t touch it.

She instinctively stood up, trying to move closer to the figure, but no matter how far or how long she walked, she couldn’t reach it.

She even began running, completely out of breath, but still, the figure was out of reach.

And the voice from the figure... it was so familiar, eerily similar to Alexander Johnson’s voice when he was younger.

The figure also resembled a younger Alexander Johnson.

Although Chloe had never seen Alexander as a child, something deep within her seemed to echo, telling her that the person before her was indeed Alexander.

"Alexander Johnson! Stop playing tricks on me and come out!"

At the climax of the dream, Chloe shouted at the figure, and suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that everything had just been a dream.

She let out a small laugh, blaming the events of last night for leading her to such a nightmare.

But fortunately, it was just a dream.

Taking a deep breath, Chloe picked up her phone to check the time, then got out of bed to wash up and prepare for work.

Regardless of whether she could get answers about the test results, she still had to go to work.

She needed to earn money. She needed to pay back the one million dollars she owed Alexander.

In the days that followed, Alexander didn’t return at all.

Chloe began her routine of going to work and coming home on time each day, as if life had returned to its former calm.

The only difference was that her living environment had changed; it was now more luxurious, and she had the help of Nanny King.

Over time, Chloe even grew accustomed to Alexander’s apartment, and even more so to his absence.

As for Lucas Hughes, since they worked at the same hospital, Chloe occasionally ran into him, but that was all.

Since their divorce was underway, Chloe had no desire to dwell on it further.

Until one morning, as she got up for work and glanced at the time on her phone, a news alert popped up.
