“How did Estie go missing?”The two walked out of the botanical garden, and Rosalie could not help but ask. If she did not find out the cause, she would feel guilty forever. Byron took a deep glance at her. Although Estie did not actually mention it, he already knew that the reason she went missing was that she ran out to look for Rosalie.Coming into eye contact with him, Rosalie felt even more uneasy. “Wasn’t she with the two of you? How could you two…”‘How is it possible for two people to not be able to look after a child? Plus, Estie has always been a good girl.’Rosalie did not continue her words. Byron was already anxious about the little girl going missing. If she said whatever she wanted to, it would sound like she was blaming him. Byron frowned and looked at her while explaining concisely, “She got angry with Wendy.”“How?” Rosalie could not imagine what could anger the little girl so much that she ran away.Byron retrieved his gaze and did not want to speak fur
Rosalie searched all the way back to the hotel. When she stepped into the lobby, she saw Wendy sitting on the sofa with her back facing the entrance. She would normally avoid coming into contact with her.However, this was related to Estie. She walked over without even hesitating. “Is Estie back?”Wendy’s mind was everywhere because of what had happened earlier. It was only when Rosalie was in front of her did she notice her presence.Coming into eye contact with each other, the panic in Wendy’s eyes immediately turned into anger. ‘It’s her! Rosalie Jacobs! It’s all because of her that Estie went missing!’Seeing how she was staring at her, Rosalie frowned and found it strange, so she wanted to ask.Suddenly, Wendy stood up from the sofa with reddish eyes. She pointed at Rosalie and scolded her, “How dare you still ask?! Estie wouldn’t have run out if it wasn’t because of you! It’s all your fault, you b*tch!”Rosalie’s expression changed slightly. “What are you talking about?
Melody was watching TV in the living room. She immediately got worked up upon hearing that. “What did you say?!”Wendy clenched her fist and made herself sound guilty. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t take care of Estie properly and made her run away…”“How long has she been gone? Have you reported it to the police? Where are you now? I’ll send people over immediately!” Melody was so worried that she wanted to fly over immediately. ‘How did my good granddaughter disappear out of nowhere?!’Wendy answered softly, “We’re looking for her right now, and the police are helping as well. Don’t worry.”Melody was extremely anxious, so her words did not sound pleasant. “How can I not worry?! It’s about to be dark soon! Estie will be so afraid! Okay, I must tell your Uncle Lawrence to send people over!”Wendy agreed.The more manpower they had, the higher the hopes were. After hanging up the call, Wendy also went out to help in the search.Melody then called Byron to confirm the situation
Miss Leigh Ann sent a text to check in on everyone in the parents’ group. Everyone unanimously replied that they had yet to find her. After all, Byron’s daughter had gone missing. Everyone was trying their best to look for her. However, the area around the botanical garden was full of deep forests. None of them were so foolish to the extent that they would go in to look for her. Byron saw everyone’s replies. However, he did not see Rosalie’s reply among them. He could not help but frown. After coming out of the botanical garden, both of them separated. He had not been in contact with Rosalie ever since.He wondered how she was doing. Besides, it was dark outside. Byron could not let a woman like her continue the search outside all by herself. With this thought in mind, Byron dialed Rosalie’s number. He dialed her number three times consecutively. However, her phone was out of the service area.Byron’s expression gradually darkened. Luther brought his men over.
Byron walked toward the mountain with large strides after coming out of the hotel. He called Luther while walking. “Ask them to pay more attention while searching. Rosalie went into the mountain as well.” Luther agreed to his requests at once. He admired Miss Jacobs for being so concerned over the little lady to the extent that she even entered the mountain alone to look for the child.After hanging up on the call, a weak and fearful voice rang out by the side of Byron’s ear. “Byron, is there any news about Estie?” Wendy had searched nearby for some time, but she could not find signs of anyone. She did not dare to enter the forest in the mountain either. Therefore, she chose to return. However, she did not expect to meet Byron at the entrance. She felt extremely guilty. After hearing what she said, Byron kept his phone and glanced at her with a cold expression on his face. Wendy was still in her red dress. Her dress was clean and crisp. There was not a single dro
The forest was extremely dark and dense. Other than the light from the torchlights, only the faint moonlight lit up their surroundings in the darkness. Rosalie walked through the forest cautiously. She did not know where she was. She only knew that Estie was not in any of the places that she had walked through. She had seen the messages in the WhatsApp group while sending the two children back just now. None of the parents had seen Estie. The forest was the only place left. No one had searched the forest yet. If the little girl was really in here… The more Rosalie thought about it, the more frightened she felt. Even she felt terrified in such an environment. Estie was just a child. How would she feel?If Estie did not head out to look for her, she would not have run into this place.At this thought, Rosalie gritted her teeth and quickened her pace. She must find the little girl as soon as possible. “Estie! Where are you?” Rosalie called out Estie’s name loudl
“Estie, is that you?” The cries that Rosalie had heard grew clearer. Her expectations grew as well. Estie stopped crying after hearing the pretty aunt’s voice. “A-Aunt?” Rosalie let out a sigh of relief after hearing her voice. She quickly walked in the direction of Estie’s voice.She had just taken a few steps forward when she slipped. Rosalie’s heart lurched as she held onto a nearby tree for support. She managed to stabilize herself. She lowered her head and caught sight of a deep pit covered by grass and some logs. Estie was curled up at the bottom of the pit. “Estie?” Rosalie’s heart hurt when she saw the little girl. A ray of light shone from above the crater. Estie raised her head and looked up. The pretty aunt was looking at her with a look of relief on her face. “It’s alright, I’m here.” Rosalie felt guiltier when she got a clear view of Estie’s face. However, she did not dare to express her guilt as she did not want Estie to feel afraid. Estie’
Rosalie patted Estie’s back and tried her best to comfort her. However, Estie’s cries grew softer and weaker. “Estie?” Rosalie lowered her eyes to cast a worried glance at her. Estie had passed out from crying. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes.Rosalie’s heart hurt so much that she could not catch her breath when she saw Estie in such a state. It was so cold at night, and Estie was dressed in such thin clothes. She could not remain in such a state. She had to think of a way to get both of them up!With this thought in mind, Rosalie took off her coat and wrapped Estie in it. She came up with an idea.No matter how much she tried, she could not climb out of the pit. She had almost used up all of her energy. After trying a few times, Rosalie stopped her actions in desperation. She wrapped her arms around Estie to warm her up. The night breeze billowed through the forest. Soft rustles rang out in the forest. However, there were no human sounds
