Chapter 1144 High Reward Offered to Find Alistair

Missing?!

Mavis felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and stumbled backwards. "How could this happen..." she muttered to herself.

Anthony quickly put on his coat and stood up, holding her waist as he calmly asked Kane, "When did this happen?"

"About three hours ago."

Anthony frowned, with a hint of anger on his face. "How could they have only realized after a few hours? How exactly were they supervising Alistair?"

Kane explained with a worried expression, "Mr. Alistair was playing hide-and-seek with the security guards at the hospital. He's very clever and always hides very well. At first, the guards didn't think much of it and assumed Mr. Alistair was just being mischievous like before and hiding too well. But after searching for three hours without finding any trace of him, they became afraid that something might have happened to Mr. Alistair and had to come back to report."

Anthony said, "Are you sure you've searched thoroughly? Have you checked the hospital's surveillance equipment?"

"The bodyguards have searched around the hospital but found no clues. The surveillance footage is being retrieved, but it will take some time."

Mavis' fingers trembled with nervousness and her eyes turned red. "Where could such a young child go? Could it be that the Callahan family's enemies deliberately targeted Alistair?"

Before finding Alistair, these were all speculations and no one was certain.

Anthony could only try to comfort her, "Maybe it's not that serious. Alistair has always been mischievous. When he was taking private lessons before, he pretended to have a stomach ache and ended up falling asleep in the bathroom, causing us to search for him for several hours."

Mavis was always uneasy in her heart. "But I know he was kidnapped with Spencer before and even thrown off the rooftop by the kidnappers, causing him to develop psychological trauma and be hospitalized. Is it possible that this will happen again?"

She dared not continue speaking, just the thought of that possibility made her feel suffocated.

Anthony lowered his brows, clenched his fists tightly, and the prominent bones of his fair and slender hands protruded. His face was gloomy, with a slight movement in his cheeks. His dark eyes were deep, as if a storm of bloodshed was about to erupt.

"If the missing time is less than 24 hours, we cannot file a case. First, send all of the bodyguards to search for him. Check the surveillance within several kilometers near the hospital and investigate whether Alistair is hiding in the game of hide-and-seek."

He held Mavis's hand, giving her a reassuring look, and continued to calmly arrange, "Report this matter to NIB. I heard that Malcolm is on a mission at the border and hasn't returned yet, but Chad is there. Utilizing the capabilities of NIB will lead to a quicker investigation."

"Understood," Kane quickly arranged it.

On the way, Anthony held Mavis in his arms with his right arm and held her hand with his left, trying to give her a sense of security.

"Alistair will be fine, he's just playing hide and seek, right?" Mavis couldn't bear to think of any other terrifying outcome.

"Of course, with me here, no one can harm him a single hair on this land."

Upon hearing him say this, Mavis did not feel any relief in her heart.

"You dispatched several bodyguards to the kindergarten to protect Alistair, and yet I managed to slip through and see him. You said no one dares to touch him, but he was still thrown off the rooftop by the kidnappers."

Anthony was once choked.

Mavis still harbored resentment towards Alistair's previous injury, and Anthony can only calmly explain to her,

"The incident where he was kidnapped before was indeed my negligence, but Alford is a wanted fugitive and during those days, I cooperated with NIB to investigate and crack down on black markets, destroying several of his hideouts. Now he is a rat crossing the street and does not have the ability to take Alistair away from under the watchful eyes of numerous hospital monitors and guards."

For some reason, Mavis always felt like her heart was hanging in suspense.
