Kapitel 188: Just Come Home

Hunter sat at the edge of Delilah's bed, staring blankly at his phone. It had been hours since Delilah vanished, and every attempt to reach her ended in silence.

"Where could she be?" he muttered to himself, running a hand through his hair. He was on the verge of dialing a private investigator when his phone buzzed. The sudden vibration sent a jolt through him, and his heart raced as he grabbed the phone.

A message.

It was from Delilah.
