Chapter 75 He Felt Like He Lost a Toy

• Joaquin returned home at ten in the morning. Zayla had stomach issues, and he worried about leaving her locked up for too long, fearing a repeat of the previous incident.
• As he returned home, he pictured different outcomes: perhaps Zayla would confess her fault and apologise, or she might stubbornly deny any wrongdoing, just as she had before. However, he was completely unprepared to find bloodstains in their bedroom and no sign of Zayla anywhere in the house.
• In that moment, a strange panic gripped him, as if a piece of his heart were missing. It was a feeling he couldn't quite describe. If he had to explain it, it felt like losing a beloved toy from his childhood, never to be found again.
