My Mother Died At My Wedding Chapter 34

The phone on the bed chimed incessantly with notifications of photos and sightings sent by netizens.
The flood of information left Jack struggling to distinguish the useful from the irrelevant. The sheer number of people chasing the reward made it impossible to sift through the chaos. Even with hired help to filter the leads, the workload was overwhelming.
At this point, he regretted ever making that decision.
But what choice did he have?
Without the collective efforts of the online community or Freya herself revealing her whereabouts, he had no way of finding her.
Sitting on the bed, Jack was on the verge of despair.
Just then, a few assistants sent over several photos.
“Mr. Sterling, someone reported seeing Freya in front of a church in Bertin City, Ashford. We’ve already sent people to check. You should head there as soon as possible.”
The message reignited his hope.
Regardless of whether the lead was real or not, he had to try. He couldn’t abandon his one and only chance.
Life without Freya was unbearable; he could barely make it through a single day without her. She was his water, his oxygen—essential to his survival. The fact that he had managed this long was already a testament to his sheer willpower.
Like a fish stranded on land, he couldn’t stop struggling until the very end.
Jack couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a proper rest. Every day without seeing Freya felt like an eternity. He only allowed himself a couple of hours of sleep when his body outright refused to function, terrified of missing even the smallest trace of her.
Even on the flight to Ashford, he buried himself in handling work from home, unwilling to waste a single moment.
When the plane landed, Jack went to retrieve his luggage, unaware that at that very moment, Freya was boarding a flight at the same airport.
By some cruel twist of fate, they missed each other yet again.
As Freya’s plane took off, Jack rushed to the area near the church. He checked every hotel nearby, asking after her, but none of them had seen her.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally got a lead at a small hotel tucked around a corner.
