I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 465 - 463: The Only One I Love Is You (Part 7)
"Vera?" Isla’s tone was surprised, "What about her?"
"You really don’t know?"
"Not..." Isla was momentarily stunned, "Who are you?"
"Kris Cooper!"
"Cha... Chairman?!" Isla’s voice also took on a nervous tone, "What happened to Vera?"
"Where is she?!"
"I... I really don’t know. The last time I saw her was when she was with you, and we haven’t met since. What’s happened?"
Kris Cooper took a deep breath, suppressing the anger boiling in his chest.
"Do you still know if she has any other friends, or places she frequently visits, other residences... In short, anywhere she might go!"
"What... what exactly happened to her?"
"Get a car from the company, and go to any place she might be right away. Call me immediately if you find any clues. Go now!"
"Okay!"
Hearing the urgency in his voice, Isla hastily agreed.
Hanging up the phone, Kris Cooper took a deep breath and continued driving forward.
Noticing a girl on the street with a similar build to Vera, he glanced in the rear-view mirror, swerving the car from the fast lane to the roadside, jumped out of the car and ran over, grabbing the girl’s arm.
The girl turned her head in shock, seeing the stranger’s face, Kris Cooper released her, turned, and rushed back into the car.
"Vera, you damned girl... where the hell are you?!"
The sky began to drizzle. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Raindrops fell, pattering on the car windows, initially forming a thin layer, gradually gathering into streams, flowing down the glass like a lover’s tears.

In the park.
"Have you seen my grandmother? Her hair is gray and white, about this tall, wearing a light blue front-buttoned Tang suit... Sorry... Thank you..."
"Brother, have you seen an elderly person?"
"Sir, may I ask..."
...
"Grandma! Grandma..." Vera wiped the rain off her face with her hand, calling out loudly, only to be answered by a distant rumble of thunder from the sky, "Grandma..."
Noticing a glimpse of light blue in the distance, she rushed through the flowers, only to see it was just an umbrella in a tourist’s hand, and she stopped powerlessly.
Raising the back of her hand to wipe her face, she continued searching in that direction.
"Grandma, Grandma... Vera is here... Grandma..."
...
...
Under the flowering tree.
A light purple parasol created a rain-free space.
"Do you still remember the last time we went to Japan to see the cherry blossoms?" Sally Dalton looked up at the raindrop gathering on the parasol, "That time, neither of us brought an umbrella, and by the time we ran to the roadside, we were already soaked."
"Yes." Nathan Leafcastle reached for the umbrella handle in her hand, holding the umbrella for her like a gentleman, "That time, you almost got pneumonia; fortunately, it turned out fine later, otherwise, I would have been guilty."
The girl lightly lifted the corners of her lips, reaching out her fingers to catch a falling petal, brought it to her nose to sniff, and then stopped, turning to look at Nathan Leafcastle beside her.
"Nathan, actually... I came to find you this time because there’s something I want to tell you."
Nathan Leafcastle tilted the umbrella towards her direction, turning his face to ask, "What is it?"
"I..."
Sally Dalton was just about to speak when a girl’s urgent voice came from a distance.
"Miss, have you seen an elderly person..."
