His statement came back to haunt me. I didn't want to believe it. I made my way to the place I had left him. There was a small medical center nearby. I knew the police hadn't picked him up, and he wasn't stupid enough to wait and have them arrest him.
I went to the medical center and looked around.
"You," I pointed at a nurse, "Did a man with bleeding lips come here?"
"We just finished patching…" she stopped and turned. "There he is."
Jason had gotten his split lips fixed and was with a bag of medication.
"Jason!" I called and stormed my way to him.
He didn't even try to resist or run. "What the heck do you want now?"
I held his collar, "Where is she?"
"What are you talking about?" He frowned, then a smile formed. "She left you, didn't she? I told you, you wouldn't understand."
"Shut the fuck up, and tell me where she is," I demanded. "Where's your place?"
"I know we got off on the wrong foot; but believe me when I say, I have no idea where she could be," he replied, "I know Olivia. If I asked her twice and she refused, there was no way she'd come to me. Plus, she doesn't know where I stay."
"Then why are you grinning like an idiot?" I asked.
"Because she didn't choose you," he smirked.
I pushed him and decided to look elsewhere.
"She's probably gone back to London," he said as I left. "I'm sure you don't know where she stays either."
I ignored him. Maybe she went to Mom's place.

As I knocked on the door, my mother opened it.
"Oh, I guess you're here to pick up Chloe," she said.
"Oh no…" I groaned.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Is that daddy?" Chloe asked as she ran to the door. "Did Miss Olivia find the teddy bear?"
"She didn't come here?" I asked Mother.
"No, we haven't seen her. I thought that she'd be here earlier," she replied. "Is everything okay?"
"She's…" I stopped and looked at Chloe, who was visibly getting worried.
"Did something happen to her?" Chloe asked.
There was no need to lie. If we went home, she'd find out for herself. It was just nine pm, international flights would continue till midnight.
"Miss Olivia is gone," I said.
"What? Why?" Her voice broke my heart.
"I don't… I don't know, but I'll find her," I promised as I squatted to match my daughter's gaze, "She wouldn't have left yet." I turned my attention to my mother. "I have to go look for her. She might be at the airport."
