108 Attempts to Forget You novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Ignoring her, Timothy answered the call with trembling hands.

“Found her? Where is she?”

An unfamiliar voice came through.

“Hello, this is bank customer service. Your card just had suspicious activity…”

Timothy’s knuckles turned white gripping the phone while Patricia stared in disbelief.

“So you almost got us killed just to answer that call?”

“I’m waiting for a very important call.” Timothy restarted the car, his voice icy.

Patricia’s eyes instantly reddened as she bit her lip and fell silent.

Night wind rushed through the half–open window, bringing a chill that made the car’s atmosphere heavier than ever.

Timothy stared at the blurry traffic light ahead, consumed by one thought: finding Shirley immediately.

Passing a crossroads, Patricia suddenly unbuckled her seatbelt.

“Timothy! What’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted all day!”

The man in the driver’s seat abruptly tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

“Please don’t take it to heart.

Timothy studied her downcast profile, struck by an unfamiliarity he couldn’t place.

But the unread detective message on his phone yanked his attention back. He restarted the engine,

“My mistake. Let’s get you home to rest.”

Patricia’s knuckles whitened where she gripped her skirt.

Only when the car stopped at the Campbell manor gates did she muster a weak smile.

“I’ll head upstairs now. Drive safe.”
