Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 553

"If you don't understand what Felix meant," Joyce said, "you should think bigger. Think about everything you've done. It's not just about the child."

With that, Joyce hung up.

Joyce looked at the boisterous crowd.

Tyler didn't know about Emilia's second miscarriage. By saying this, she was forcing him to try date after date, day after day. Eventually, he would have to remember the day he pushed Emilia down the stairs.

"If he can't even think of that," Joyce scoffed and muttered to herself, "then, Tyler, you truly are heartless."

She clenched her phone. "I'll be waiting, Tyler. I'm waiting for the day you open that box!"

In the car, Tyler listened to the dial tone.

He didn't understand what Joyce meant. A strange sense of panic gripped his heart. Looking at the box before him, he felt that it held a demonic secret.

Opening this box might reveal the very thing he feared most.

The car continued to speed along.

Tyler stared at the box without blinking, as if looking away for a single second would allow it to transform into a demon and swallow him whole.

He stared until his eyes began to burn and tears welled up involuntarily.

The tears blurred his vision, clouding the box. The image of Emilia lying in a pool of crimson blood appeared before his eyes again.

As a tear fell, he reached out again to try the code.

He had to open it!

Even if the secret inside would destroy him, he had to know!

At the concert venue, Emilia was already backstage.

The online post had already blown up by the time she arrived. Naturally, she had seen it too.
