Chapter 170 – The child is suddenly lost
I do know Kelly, a very virtuous and resilient woman, and she won’t change just because Jacob is nowhere to be found.
In fact, the two are quite good and respectful of each other. Jacob is a very caring person, Kelly is even more considerate, and Kelly’s parents are out of town and depend on Jacob.
I don’t believe Kelly will change.
Just then, my phone suddenly rang, and I hurriedly picked it up to see that it was Scarlette’s.
I hit the amplify button and an urgent and gloating voice came from Scarlette, “Honey, I’m telling you, something big has happened.”
Curious, I follow up with, “What is it?”
“Amelia’s baby is missing?”
“What?” I let out a gasp, my eyes immediately going to Blake, who also raised his eyes to me, “When did this happen?”
“Just today! News hit the net at noon that Amelia’s baby was missing! It’s all over town now. Amelia’s going crazy! Called the police. It’s being looked for all over town now.” Scarlette was speaking rather quickly and sounded a bit hyper, “There was a lot of online buzz about Robert and Steven that hasn’t subsided, and now the baby’s gone, so there are a lot of different opinions about what’s going on.”
My mind was spinning fast, how could I suddenly lose my child at this time? Who could lay hands on a child at this very moment? And what exactly is their purpose?
“Couldn’t have gone somewhere and gotten lost for a moment!” I wondered a bit and mumbled a guess, “Amelia even called me two hours ago and didn’t mention anything about the baby.”
I thought long and hard about the state Amelia was in when she called me, and she would never have been so calm if she had known the baby was missing at that time.
“It doesn’t look like it’s in the right state, geez wait, I’ll show you a surveillance video.” Scarlette immediately hung up the phone, and the next second a connection to a surveillance video came through.
I hurriedly clicked on it.
The image is of Amelia’s apartment door, and I know this angle, it’s the point at which Albert is responsible for keeping an eye on them.
The next second, only to see the door suddenly open, Amelia clutched her cell phone and spoke on it while rushing out of the house and furiously pressing the elevator button.
Her anxious voice came through, “Tell me clearly, what do you mean the child is missing? I handed it over to you to take care of it to the best of your ability, how could he be missing?”
Immediately after that she rushed into the elevator, and between lifting her face, I saw a bit of a grimace, and I instantly reacted back to the fact that she should have been beaten.
The elevator door closes and the camera accesses another frame, a downstairs view, and it’s clear that she’s rushing out of the elevator again, running straight out.
But I did not expect, the entrance are squatting reporters, she was surrounded, she hissed like a madman, let those people get out of the way, those people can not buy, not only did not get out of the way, but more and more surrounded.
Amelia pushed and shoved frantically, charging like a rabid dog all the way to the front, then reached out and hailed a cab and got in.
The reporters scattered at once and chased after the car.
The scene comes to an end here when Scarlette’s call comes back in, “See! It’s just a segment! It’s all over the internet now too with this news tweet, so hurry up and check it out. It says that the kid was sent to a vacation class by Amelia and suddenly disappeared, no one saw him, no one asked the teacher for leave, and that class only had a few kids and was still completely closed, weird, right?”
“Then how did you lose it?” I asked, curious as well.
“Yeah, the police are canvassing the building after calling the police! But there’s little hope, it’s still more likely that they’ll be taken out!” Scarlette had the answer to the question. Then looked to me and asked, “When are you coming back?”
“I’m not sure when I’m going back yet!” I answer Scarlette’s question.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
But Blake looked at me meaningfully and said, “I’m afraid you’ll have to go back to Newport!”
