Time passed quickly and it was July already. The weather was so hot and dry in Cona, especially in the past fortnight, every day was sunny and in severe heat, as if it was an operating oven.
A fortnight passed after Terry lost Tracy to Baron.
Baron thought Terry would look for Tracy and Yuri, but to his surprise, Terry didn’t show up after that day.
At the Citizen Square, Cona.
As the sun rose, the sunlight was sprinkling on the ground.
Terry was lying on a chair in the square. He woke up, rubbed his eyes, sat up slowly, and spread himself, as the sunlight shined on him.
He went to the lake near the square, and washed his face. He felt upset when he looked at his vicissitudinary face in the water.
He felt sorry for his two daughters. After he was dismissed from Perry Group, he had no job, but Tracy and Yuri didn’t complaint. They supported him to live a carefree life.
Whenever he thought of losing his two great daughters, and the words that the man with a mask said to him, he just felt very guilty.
He would be willing to exchange their freedom with his own life.
For the past fortnight, he had been out and looking for jobs, but no company wanted to hire him, even some small companies.
Unconsciously, he was already weeping, and tears dropped down his cheek and into the lake.
Finally, he unleashed his pain, and burst out crying.
And later, he seemed to feel better, and he washed his face, and got on his feet.
“Tracy, daddy will find you!”
The only motivation now in his mind was to find Tracy and set her free. He had to straighten up and earn as much money as he could.
Because he made up his mind that he wasn’t going to live for himself anymore, but for his two daughters, for the rest of his life.
Few people were on the street, for the weather was so hot.
His face looked pale and skinny, and his lips were very dry, for he hadn’t filled up himself for days.
He didn’t shave himself and change his cloth for a fortnight. Now he was shaggy and stinky. Whoever passed him, would quickly go away, frowning and covering his nose.
But now, he didn’t care that much about his appearance, for he had rebuilt his confidence just now. He walked on the street, with his chin up and chest out, looking determinedly at an employment ad on a wall ahead. He wanted a job now.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, he ran into a car, while he was looking around to seek employment ads.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to.”
Terry apologized hastily, in a terrified tone.
At this moment, as the window of the car rolled down, a familiar face showed up.
“Baron!”
Terry was startled, but in a split second, he said guiltily to Baron, with tears brimming in his eyes, “Baron, I am very sorry, it was all my fault, I should have protected Tracy.”
Baron expected what Terry was going to react and say to him, for he was kept posted of Terry’s movements, so he felt no surprises at all.
“But you don’t have to worry, I will not quit, no matter what it takes, I am going to find Tracy again, and make her free.”
