Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 356

Dominic Jarrett finished arranging the discharge procedures. When he arrived and knocked on the hospital room door, he was met with total silence, causing him to pause.

He frowned in suspicion and pushed the door open.

Seeing the empty hospital room, his frown deepened, a creeping unease rising in his chest.

"Clara?"

He called out nervously, pulling out his phone to dial her number as he walked toward the bathroom.

Ring... ring...

As the call connected.

He pushed the bathroom door open, but Clara was nowhere to be seen.

The taut string in his chest snapped halfway, and the remaining half shattered completely when he heard Clara's ringtone echoing from the bed behind him!

He knew Clara's personality; she was never careless.

She knew they were leaving today and that she was supposed to wait for him, so she would never just disappear without sending him a message.

Dominic's handsome face paled slightly as he whipped around, striding over to pick up the phone lying on the sheets... It buzzed continuously, showing nothing out of the ordinary.

The only strange thing was...

Dominic lowered his head, sniffing the device. A faint, lingering scent of medicinal ointment filled his nose.

It clearly wasn't the medication Clara had been prescribed; it was something else entirely!

Dominic's brow furrowed tightly as he glanced at the rumpled bedsheets. Clara was meticulously neat; she would never leave a mess like this behind.

There was only one explanation... someone had drugged her and taken her by force!

Dominic's gaze turned predatory as his grip tightened around the phone.

Just then, steady footsteps echoed from the doorway.

Dominic turned. The moment he saw it was Julian Lowell, his expression turned lethal. He closed the distance in three strides, grabbed Julian by the collar, and slammed him against the wall.

"Where is Clara?" he demanded, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. "Where did you take her?"

Caught off guard, Julian grunted as his back hit the wall. He scowled, his own temper flaring, and reached up to shove Dominic's hands away. "Are you out of your mind?" he snapped. "Clara has been in the hospital this entire time, I..."

The words died in his throat as his peripheral vision registered the empty room.

His brow furrowed in confusion as he looked at the empty bed. "Where is Clara?" he murmured uneasily.

Dominic narrowed his eyes, reading the genuine bewilderment on Julian's face, and quickly pieced it together.

He shoved Julian away in disgust. "Listen to me, Julian. If anything happens to Clara, I will destroy you!"

With that, he turned on his heel and stormed out, dialing his secretary on his phone.

"Get in touch with the hospital director. I need the security footage for Clara's wing immediately, along with a list of every doctor and nurse who entered her room..."
