A Love Only the Past Knows Chapter 18
The air reeked of rotting wood, and an eerie silence hung over everything—a sure sign they were in a remote location.Ryder tried to move, but his arms and legs were tightly bound. He had been carelessly tossed to the ground, making it impossible to gain any leverage.With no choice, he wriggled inch by inch until he found something firm to lean against.His exposed wrist brushed the surface behind him. It didn't feel like a wall—it was cold and hard, more like metal. He pressed his head away from the backrest and leaned forcefully against it.A loud metallic clang echoed in response.The noise seemed to attract attention.Ryder heard footsteps—light and hurried—accompanied by quickened breathing. He guessed it was Seth.Tentatively, he called out, "Seth, are you there?"No answer came, but the sound of footsteps grew closer.A faint smile crossed Ryder's face. "I know you're there. Don't worry. I just want to ask one thing—why did you kidnap me?"Still, there was no response

Seth paused, and soon he heard the sound of sirens.In his panic, the knife in his hand slipped to the ground.As the noise grew louder, he was thrown into a frenzy. He could do nothing but hide.Ryder heard Seth's footsteps fade away.The warehouse door opened, and he heard James calling his name. "Ryder, where are you?""I'm here!" Ryder yelled back.The ropes binding him were quickly cut, and the cloth covering his eyes was ripped off.A few police officers searched the warehouse and the surrounding area, but they found nothing.Ryder figured Seth must have escaped during the commotion. After all, a man who didn't stand out would easily evade the police's attention.In the end, the police left with only a few burly men in tow.-Ryder felt fine, but James insisted he stay in the hospital for a few days.Part of it was to recover, and part of it was to get away from the school, which had become a place of disdain for him, offering a chance to relax a little.When the pol

The next day, James finally agreed to discharge Ryder from the hospital, yielding to his persistent insistence.Ryder's first task after leaving the hospital was to visit the landlady and arrange for Seth's belongings to be moved out.However, he had no intention of keeping any of Seth's things at his place. His plan was simple: move the items out and dispose of them.Following the landlady, Ryder entered Seth's room.The space was a complete mess. Aside from a computer, the floor was littered with bits of paper.Ryder picked up a piece and examined it closely. To his surprise, it detailed steps for changing an account's registered address.His thoughts turned to the anonymous individual spreading rumors about him on the campus forum.Suddenly, connections between Seth and the culprit began to form in his mind.Acting on impulse, Ryder powered on the computer.The machine had the simplest default password. Once logged in, Ryder uncovered a trove of incriminating evidence.Amo

Seth tried to get closer to Laura, but she pushed him away.Laura found the situation intriguing—what Seth was saying contradicted everything Ryder had claimed.She didn't distrust Ryder, nor did she place much trust in Seth. Based on her understanding of both of them, she simply believed that neither was capable of something like this.As for the truth, she needed to see it for herself.After calming Seth down a little, she arranged for a full check-up, including a psychological evaluation.The results indicated that Seth had been experiencing significant psychological stress and would require treatment.Consequently, Laura had him admitted to a mental health facility.On the surface, it was for his well-being, but in reality, it served as another form of house arrest.Once she had resolved company matters, she flew abroad to see Ryder. It wasn't just to visit him—she needed to know if Seth was truly the mastermind behind Ryder's kidnapping.Before leaving, Laura made sure to

Laura looked at Seth and said, "Just stay here. You're still young, and you've been my assistant for a few years. I don't want to see you end up in prison."After saying this, she turned and left.There was another reason Laura didn't send Seth to prison: the evidence was insufficient to guarantee a conviction, especially since the incident occurred outside their country.-In six months, Ryder would be heading overseas for further study.During that time, Laura stayed abroad with him most of the time. That was until she received a phone call from the facility."Hello, Ms. Moon. Mr. Yarde is missing," a staff member informed her."Missing? What do you mean? How could he just disappear?" she asked, her voice sharp."When we checked Mr. Yarde's room this morning, he was gone. There's no trace of him anywhere in the facility," the staff replied.Laura's expression grew serious. "Alright. I'll return to look into this."She moved swiftly.After saying goodbye to Ryder, she flew

Amelia quietly tugged on Ryder's sleeve, and he immediately sprang into action.Laura's face turned pale, and she struggled to control her voice as she asked, "Is that so? When?""In two months. Amelia and I will be sent abroad for an exchange, and we're planning to get married then," Ryder answered.Laura clenched and loosened her hands repeatedly, until, finally, she seemed to lose all her strength.She forced a smile. "Well, congratulations in advance."Ryder smiled back at her and walked away with Amelia, leaving Laura standing alone.Once they were far enough, Ryder anxiously said, "Wait, Amelia, I… You… I..."Amelia gave him a playful smack on the head. "What are you thinking? She's stubborn. At this rate, it'll be hard to get her to move on before we leave."Laura certainly didn't believe it right away. She secretly asked someone to probe James and received the same answer.She also asked around at the school, and everyone confirmed that Amelia had been spending a lot o

When Laura returned to the company, she discovered that it wasn't just the bid documents that had been leaked—many other company secrets had been exposed as well.A significant amount of project data had been compromised, and the partners had already begun to hold the company accountable.Laura wanted to confront the person in charge of the rival company immediately, but without solid evidence, she couldn't. Instead, she sent someone to monitor the company.As expected, they spotted an old acquaintance.When Laura's assistant reported seeing Seth, Laura slammed her fist on the desk."Are you sure it was him?" she asked.The assistant nodded. "Yeah, it's definitely Seth."Laura didn't want her assistant to handle this. She decided to stake out Seth herself.-Three days later, she saw him in the afternoon.The moment Laura saw Seth, she rushed toward him.Seth frowned and turned around.When he saw Laura, his expression changed from happiness to resentment, then to calm.

After Laura left, Seth quietly emerged and tried to pull the letter from the mailbox.He didn't have the key, making it seem impossible to retrieve the letter.Fortunately, the mailboxes here were old and falling apart, and he eventually found a small section of the side that was slightly raised.He carefully slid the letter out through the gap.The contents of the letter were straightforward.Laura explained there were some issues at the company, and she needed to fly back immediately.However, she reassured Ryder not to worry and promised that she would return and continue helping him investigate once she took care of things.After reading the letter, Seth tore it into pieces and tossed the scraps in the trash.He opened his computer and went to a strange website.After typing for a while, he received a response and smiled.He glanced toward the next room, as though he could see Ryder's room through the walls.Finally, he packed up his things and left, heading out to find
