11-… Wa’vo Cruck in This Toxic Rebirth Loop
Chapter 25
“You two go ahead, I have something to do later.”
Nathaniel smiled bitterly–she wasn’t even giving him a chance to invite them.
Theo secretly laughed. Though it was unkind, this guy was truly pitiful, being rejected before he could even speak.
He handed over the breakfast he’d been holding all morning, now a bit cold.
“Here, eat a little to tide you over. We’ll eat something else later. This has gotten cold.”
“Okay.” Riley handed the flowers to Theo and took the breakfast, stuffing some in her mouth. “I’m starving.”
She ate while pulling Theo along, walking past Nathaniel toward the exit.
Nathaniel silently stepped aside to make way for them, hiding the hot breakfast he’d bought for her behind his wrist.
He understood Riley as well as he understood himself, knowing she wouldn’t eat breakfast before dancing.
So he had specially bought her favorite food, but when he arrived, he saw Theo waiting at the door with breakfast.
Nathaniel tugged at the corner of his mouth in a self–mocking smile. In the end, he was too late.
“Ring ring ring…”
As he watched them walk away and disappear, Nathaniel remained lost in thought until the phone rang, bringing him back to
reality.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Blackwood, I’m sorry.” As the call connected, James’s apologetic, anxious, and flustered voice came through: “Miss Reed is missing…”
Nathaniel frowned. Victoria was like a madwoman now, refusing to listen to anything he said, obsessively blaming everything on Riley. And now she was missing….
“What happened?” Nathaniel’s tone was icy, making James shiver even through the screen.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Blackwood. Miss Reed said you called her to come find you and showed me the call record. I was careless…”
James never imagined Victoria would forge call records, and he had even checked that it was indeed Nathaniel’s number. He had carelessly failed to call Nathaniel to confirm…
“Deal with your punishment later. Go find her now.” After giving this order, Nathaniel looked into the distance, deep in thought.
Everything had been fine the past few days, with no sign that Victoria was planning to escape, Why did she choose today of all days?

Chapter 25
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Nathaniel strode out of the hall, taking out his phone to call Riley as he walked.
“Victoria, that crazy woman… Riley… pick up the phone…”
But Riley didn’t answer. After thinking for a moment, he called James to ask for Theo’s number.
Just as he reached his car, Nathaniel quickly got in and drove toward the school gate where he happened to encounter Riley and Theo who had just left the school.
He watched as they walked out of the school gate and prepared to cross the road.
Nathaniel parked his car and quickly walked over, but at that moment, he noticed a familiar car in the distance.
It was a black Porsche Panamera, parked at the roadside not far away. The driver was wearing a baseball cap, making their face unclear.
But Nathaniel knew it was Victoria, because that car belonged to him.
She had somehow stolen his keys. Watching her parked by the roadside, staring at Theo and Riley, Nathaniel quickened his pace toward them. The light was about to turn green. Riley…
“Riley! Watch out for the car!”
The light turned green, and Riley and Theo were walking at the back of the crowd crossing the road. Victoria started the car and sped toward the two of them, but Riley and Theo didn’t hear or notice the traffic because they were talking.
Nathaniel’s heart sank. Without thinking further, he rushed toward Riley.
At the moment the car was about to hit Riley and Theo, Nathaniel pushed them both away.
Riley and Theo fell to the ground, but Nathaniel himself was hit by the car and thrown to the ground, immediately covered in
blood.
“Nathaniel!”
“Ahhhh!”
Riley’s cry and Victoria’s hysterical scream from inside the car rang out simultaneously.
