Noah raised his eyebrows. “For real?”
The man said, “Yeah, it’s real. Someone in the town witnessed it himself.”
Another man said, “Let’s see what kind of girl it is late.”
While talking, they walked towards the hill.
Right then, the cell phone in Matthew’s pocket started ringing. He pulled it out and found it was a call from Dolores. He paused a bit. After Noah and other men went afar, he swiped to answer it.
“Hello...”
“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” Dolores asked hoarsely in a strong nasal voice.
“What happened?” His face tightened immediately.
“Uncle Kevin... He passed away.”
Matthew wasn’t quite surprised. After all, his doctor had mentioned that at the most he could only witness Joshua’s wedding.
“I’ll go back now.”
He hung up the home and called Noah back.
“What’s wrong?” Noah trotted over.
“I must go back. Please go on searching here,” said Matthew.
“Haven’t you just arrived? Why are you going back now? Has anything happened? Or...”
Matthew interrupted him, telling him that Kevin had passed away.
Noah nodded. “I see. Please rest assure and leave everything to me. I’ll investigate as you suggested.”
Afraid that Matthew was still worried, Noah added, “I’ll try my best to find Andrew as soon as possible.”
Matthew didn't answer. He put his hand on Noah's shoulder in silence, which actually implied a lot of things. Although he didn't speak a single word, Noah knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.
"I'll try." Noah gave him a ride to the airport. The men who came with them would continue searching for Andrew.
After Matthew had arrived, without a rest, he had to rush back.
They had to drive to the city so he could take a flight.
Noah drove directly to the airport in the city.
However, they didn't find a suitable flight to fly back, so Matthew changed to take the high-speed train instead.
Seeing Matthew get on the train, Noah left.
It took him a whole night to see off Matthew and come back to the town.
When he finally got back, it was almost bright
However, the good news was waiting for him.
“Andrew Nelson has been found,” someone trotted over to tell him good news as soon as Noah had parked the car.
“When?” he asked.
“Last night.”
After Noah and Matthew were gone, those men continued to search. In the evening, Evelyn was having dinner with Andrew in the yard, which was seen by them.
“Where is he now? Why didn’t you call me last night?” Noah asked in a deep tone.
“We tried to call you but couldn’t get through.”
“How could it be?” Noah thought that he was talking nonsense. He pulled out the phone from his pocket, but the screen didn’t light up after he pressed the buttons. It turned out that his phone was dead.
“How could it be dead at the critical moment.” He felt a bit annoyed
“We’ve picked up Andrew Nelson as well as the girl who has saved him,” the man reminded Noah.
Noah said, “Okay. I’ll go check on him. That’s the most important.”
It was good to find Andrew.
