Chapter 737 The True Departure
Chandler suddenly asked, “Where is Felix?”
Walter was stunned. He didn’t expect that he would suddenly mention Felix.
But Walter quickly realized something.
Chandler suspected that Felix had taken the Meryl away.
Walter said, “Mr. Powell was just discharged from the hospital today. He should be recuperating at the Powell Manor now.”
Felix had been discharged from the hospital, but his injuries were so severe that it felt as though he had been pulled back from the jaws of death.
The doctor advised that Felix would need an extended period of rest and should avoid strenuous activities during his recovery.
Chandler narrowed his eyes. “Did he really go back to the Powell Manor? Or…”
When Chandler inquired, Walter paused, scratching his head in uncertainty. “Wait a moment, I’ll go check it out.”
Dante sat beside Chandler, offering reassurance. “Chandler, don’t worry.” He placed a comforting hand on Chandler’s shoulder. “It’s not convenient for a woman to carry a newborn

baby.” He paused, his gaze thoughtful. “They shouldn’t be able to run far. Maybe Meryl is just upset with you and will be back in a few days.”
Chandler shook his head, thinking, “Really angry? Not
necessarily.
How does the saying go?
Those who truly wish to leave often choose a sunny afternoon, don their longest coat, step outside, and never return.
Those who truly wish to leave are so miserly that they even consider saying goodbye a waste of time.
Obviously, Meryl belongs to the latter.”
She left quietly, without even saying hello to him.
Chandler inquired, “Anne has been in Havenbrook for some time, and the child remains in Kingsdom. Has she returned?”
Dante choked and was speechless for a moment.
“Chandler, after all, we are friends. I am trying to comfort you out of kindness, and you shouldn’t hurt me like this.”
Anne had been in Havenbrook for over half a month, calling him several times during her trip to inquire about her daughter Bella’s situation.
Dante cursed on the other end of the phone, saying, “You don’t

even want your daughter, and you just ran away without saying a word?”
Anne retorted, “Dante, is it that my daughter can’t leave me, or do you want to keep me by your side? You know it well.
“Besides, how long have we been divorced? Do I need to inform you where I’m going?”
Although this was true, Dante still felt uneasy.
He dealt with all his work matters and planned to leave for Havenbrook in the next few days.
Since Anne was his beloved woman, he naturally had to find a way to win her back.
Dante wouldn’t let Anne stay in Havenbrook and be seduced by other men.
Before heading to Havenbrook, Dante intended to consult Chandler for guidance.
After all, Max and Yancey were different.
Yancey was a newcomer without a solid foundation. The disparity between him and Anne was vast, both socially and economically.
But Max was different.
Max and Anne were classmates. They knew each other well and
Chapter 737 The True Departure had been desk mates for many years.
Dante felt a full sense of crisis.

But he was surprised to find Chandler already occupied with his own tasks.
Meryl also ran away.
Dante took a deep swig from the bottle. “If Felix did assist her, what actions would you take?
“What if Meryl changes her mind and falls in love with another man? What will you do?”
Upon hearing this, Chandler’s breath caught in his throat.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his fingers trembled slightly. “This is impossible!”
She gave birth to a son for Dalton but then ran away without saying a word, leaving him behind. He must find Meryl and ask her what she meant.
He thought, “Has she been toying with my heart this whole time?”
Not long after, Walter came in from outside with a cell plne in hand. “Mr. Aniston, there seems to be news!”

Chapter 737 The True Departure
A plane flying to Austranion is circling in the sky.
Meryl held her one–month–old son in her arms.

The little guy was very well–behaved. After getting on the plane, he leaned on Meryl’s arms and fell asleep without making any noise or trouble.
Only when hunger gnawed at his insides did he open his gaze sharp and demanding as he roared at her.

eyes,
After more than six hours of flight, the night had deepened, and Meryl, weary from the journey, tilted her head to one side, closed her eyes, and succumbed to sleep.
A few days ago, she had casually mentioned it to Felix, never expecting him to act without a word.
She departed without a trace, and Chandler would never have imagined that she had already fled abroad with her son.
However, she owed Felix a big favor.
Felix advised her to stay in Austranion for a few days before heading to the Aetherland.
Meryl pondered Felix’s suggestion and agreed.
She was traveling with her child, making it unlikely that Chandler would be able to locate her.
Traveling through Austranion seemed like a prudent choice. The

vast, sparsely populated southern hemisphere would make it difficult for Chandler to locate her.
To maintain discretion while traveling alone with her child,
she packed only the essentials in her carry–on bag, avoiding excessive luggage that might attract attention.
As the plane ascended, Meryl suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
In fact, she had fallen in love with Chandler and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

But when the original expectation began to change, she couldn’t even feel that Chandler cared about the child…
Meryl couldn’t help but wonder, “If Chandler couldn’t accept the son I had borne for him, how could he possibly care for me?”
It had been two days since the child returned home from the hospital, and Chandler had not even hugged him.
Meryl didn’t know how things between them got like this.
Meryl’s throat tightened, making each breath a struggle and her stomach churned with nausea.
It was said that the stomach was the organ of emotions, so she vomited as soon as she got on the plane.

She actually couldn’t bear to leave him.
After all, she had lived with Chandler for so long. In the beginning, Chandler took good care of her.
Meryl closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about it
anymore.

She tried to forget Chandler, but after finally getting some sleep, he appeared in her dream.
In her dream, Chandler was in a state of decline, intoxicated to the point of vomiting blood.
He was looking for her all over the world like crazy.
The scene suddenly changed and showed a black car speeding on the road. Chandler accelerated his black car toward the cliff’s
edge.
The black car teetered on the cliff’s edge, its front end hanging over the precipice–a heart–stopping sight.
Chandler, his eyes bloodshot, threatened. “Meryl, if you leave me, I’ll haunt you as a ghost.”
As soon as the words fell, the whole car fell down.
Meryl awoke from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat, her scream of “No” still echoing in the silence.
That dream was so real.

Her face was pale, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
At this moment, a gentle male voice came into her ear, “Are you having a nightmare? Or… are you missing him?”
Meryl turned her head, her face changing as she saw something that startled her.
