Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1414

Chapter 1414 Given Up on the Search

"I'll make the calls right now," Joseph said as he fished out his phone.

Remus saw what he was doing and didn't object.

Regardless of what his two brothers were up to, he knew that locating Kieran was the utmost priority at this moment.

His gaze flickered with worry once more at the thought of his missing grandson.

It looked as if he had aged years within the span of one night.

For the next two days, the rescue team still didn't find Kieran or any clues regarding his whereabouts.

On the third day, the leader of the rescue team went over to Nicholas, who was still by the river.

"It's been three days, President Sawyer. We've searched everywhere and we still haven't found anything. I don't think there's any point in carrying on with the search any longer."

In other words, he hoped that Nicholas would call the search off now.

Nicholas didn't respond immediately. He stared out at the peaceful river with a dark expression.

Eventually, he said hoarsely, "All right. You can go back now."

The man nodded and offered his condolences before summoning his team back.

Soon, the rescue team left the river.

Edward looked at Nicholas who was unmoving and went to talk to him. "Let's go back first, President Sawyer. You haven't slept in two days. Mistress is very worried about you."

Nicholas pursed his lips and took one last look at the river before leaving.

The surrounding reporters took pictures of this scene.

When Tessa saw Nicholas arriving back at Sawyer Residence with a look of utter exhaustion, she immediately went over to him.

Her heart ached when she saw his bloodshot eyes.

"Prepare a cup of ginseng tea," she instructed the household staff.

She helped Nicholas to the couch.

Stefania and Tobias knew that Nicholas was back as well, and they quickly came out of their room.

"Nicholas, did you find Kieran?"

As soon as Stefania came down, she immediately grabbed Nicholas' arm and asked.

Nicholas could tell that her hands were trembling. He shook his head and said with great difficulty, "Kieran… hasn't been found yet."

"Why hasn't he been found yet…"

Stefania broke out in tears.

However, she had only managed to sob a couple of times before fainting due to her agitation.

Tessa and Nicholas were alarmed as they cried out, "Mom!"

"Call the family doctor now!"

After some commotion, Stefania was brought back to her room.

Tobias sat with his wife and waved the others off. "I'm sure you have things to talk about. Go ahead. I'll stay here with her."

"We'll leave for now then. If you need anything, send someone to come and tell us."

Tessa didn't object to Tobias' suggestion as she wanted to let Nicholas rest for a bit.

They went back to their bedroom.

Tessa looked at the despondent man in front of her and hugged him. "Kieran will be fine."

However, despite saying that, her eyes were also red. In reality, she wasn't feeling all that hopeful.

After all, it had been three days. If Kieran was truly fine, he would've been found by now.

Gregory couldn't help but cry as well.

The fact that he might never get to see the uncle who enjoyed teasing him all the time saddened him deeply.

"Daddy, Uncle Kieran will be fine, right?"

Gregory sniffed as he looked up at Nicholas.

Before Nicholas and Tessa could console Gregory, Gordon started crying too. It seemed as if he had been affected by everyone else's mood.

Meanwhile, the latest update regarding the situation flooded the internet.

'After a three-day search, there is still no sign of Kieran Sawyer. The chances of him surviving are almost non-existent and Sawyer Group has given up on the search.'

The news included a picture of Nicholas walking away from the river.

The netizens lamented the news.

'He died at such a young age. Life is so fragile.'

'Rest in peace.'

'Rest in peace, Kieran.'

Nicholas slept for two hours before waking up in the afternoon.

Tessa noticed his dark eye circles and was worried that his body would cave, so she urged, "You should sleep a little longer."
