Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 720

Wendell and Francis were neither panting nor red in the face. After exchanging looks, Francis asked in a small voice, "What's the matter, Mr. Zahn?"

Carlisle panted heavily as he answered, "Wanda's disappeared..."noveldrama

"What?"

Wendell's eyes widened.

"Isn't she at the rehabilitation hospital?"

Carlisle sat on the steps and said slowly, "She escaped. Even the Murrays haven't been able to find her."

Wendell and Francis exchanged looks again. They saw fear and worry in each other's eyes. They were shocked that Wanda had managed to escape from the rehabilitation hospital, which had stringent security measures. Moreover, even an elite family like the Murrays had been unable to find her.

They were worried that an 18-year-old woman wandering alone in the woods would put herself in danger.

Wendell thought momentarily and said, "Let's ask Wanda's parents. Perhaps she's hiding at a relative's house!"

Wendell looked rough and ready, but he had once been the team leader of the Leopard Strike Team. He could be meticulous when needed, and he thought deeply about things.

Francis said in a low voice, "If Wanda is hiding at a relative's house, she wouldn't have been able to escape the Murrays' watchful eyes. Besides, she was sent to that place by her own father. She must have realized that her relatives might have informed Mr. Thompson of her location. That's why I think that she wouldn't go to a relative."

"That makes sense."

Wendell rubbed his chin and looked intently at Francis as he asked, "Where do you think she would go?"

"The countryside," Francis said, narrowing his eyes.

Carlisle jolted slightly, and he took out his phone to call Zoey.

"Hmm?"

Zoey sounded as if she had just woken up.

She whined sleepily and said in a dreamily, "Carl? What's the matter?"

Carlisle got straight to the point.

"Can you contact Wanda's housemaid at the rehabilitation hospital?"

Zoey was startled for a moment.

Then she laughed and said, "You're not trying to sneak in again, are you? It won't be possible now. My best friend just left the country last night-"

"Do you have her phone number?"

"No. She said she would contact me after settling down overseas!" "Alright."

Carlisle hung up, feeling disconsolate. He had been planning to get some leads from Wanda's housemaid. However, his plans had fallen through.

"We'll grow old together and watch the snowflakes fall..."

As soon as Carlisle hung up, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. His chest tightened, and he stared fixedly at the phone screen. He wondered if it was Wanda. After taking a deep breath, he answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Carlisle?"

A rather feminine male voice was on the other end of the line. Carlisle was disappointed once

more.

He asked listlessly, "Who are you?"

The voice on the other end said harshly, "I underestimated you. You actually managed to whisk Wanda away right under my family's noses!"

Carlisle gripped his phone tightly and said in a low voice, "Is this Finn?"

Finn said coldly, "You don't need to bother about who I am. I'll give you three days. Bring Wanda back the way you got her out. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear my wrath!"

Carlisle laughed coldly.

"Aren't you the ones who transferred Wanda to another laboratory and then released the news of her escape so that you can keep her locked up? Are you using me as a scapegoat to pull the wool over everyone's eyes?"

Finn was silent for a few seconds.

He asked, "Do you really have nothing to do with it?"

Carlisle narrowed his eyes as well.

"Did she really escape on her own?"

The two of them were testing each other. Ultimately, they concluded that neither of them knew anything about it.

Finn said impassively, "I'll find Wanda. Also... I'll defeat you and make you accept it!"

"I'll be waiting!"

Carlisle scoffed and hung up. He had been reborn. With both his lives added together, he would be older than even Finn's father. Why would he be afraid of a man who was barely out

of puberty?

Francis asked, "Do you think it's someone from the Murrays?"

"Yes. I suspected that Wanda was transferred to another laboratory by your family, but that doesn't seem to be the case. She really has escaped, but I think it'll be tough to find her."
