Jason asked curiously.
“After Dan went missing, Selena broke and rushed out the door to search for the child. There was no way to calm her down and Jasper had to go with her to search everywhere. The two of them are out looking for the child right now and a lot of people are with them. But doing that is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The only thing we could do was call you all for help. With more manpower, there’s more chance of finding the child.”
So Jasper and Selena were out searching for the kid. Jason and Robert comforted Bailey and Elliot softly from the side, soothing them and saying that they’d already put people on looking for the child.
“Did the Holland family make any lethal enemies in business? Or do you have any suspects?”
“The company hasn’t had too many big projects right now and we haven’t made enemies of anyone. If it was someone holding a grudge from before, I don’t have a clear suspect even now.”
Bailey mumbled. Robert and Jason looked at each other, at a loss.
If it was a rival who wanted to ruin the kid, they wouldn’t expose their tracks at all. What awaited the child was only death.
If it was kidnapping for ransom, at a time like this, they should have put in a call and asked for money. But even now, there hadn’t been any calls from the kidnapper. It was a higher probability that a rival had done this, which made the situation all the more troublesome.
Everyone waited a whole night at the Holland family and didn’t’ sleep.
There were still no news of the kid at all. By the morning, they even received news that Selena had completely crumbled and fainted. Jasper had taken her to the hospital.
Even now, there wasn’t a bit of news of the kid.
They went to the hospital to see Jasper, where Selena was still unconscious in bed, and having nightmares incessantly.
Having been through a high-strung night, everyone was tired.
Elliot turned to the gang.
“You were with us for the whole of last night. Go back and rest. We’ll have people looking for the child. Can’t run your helping hands ragged. No need to stay with us. You should go back and rest.”
Robert had wanted to stay with Jasper and the others, but then he saw how tired his own wife was.
He nodded, then turned to Jason and spoke.
“Take Miss Bradley back and rest too. If you want to help, get a few hours’ rest before coming back. Can’t help without energy, right?”
Finally, Robert and Jason comforted a worried Jasper, then took their people home.
Georgia sat in the car with Robert and began to grow apprehensive.
“There hasn’t been any news. If it really was some sick rival, it might already be too late. The way Selena is, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take it.”
Robert sighed at the side.
“Everyone knows how that works. But there’s no other way. If he’s alive, we need to see him, if he’s dead, we need to see his corpse. If there still isn’t any answer, we’ll have to do our best to search for it.”
Georgia was sorrowful. After becoming a mother, whenever she saw a child in danger close by, she grew fearful and sympathetic herself.
Just thinking of something happening to Annie brought a suffocating agony around her throat.
Thankfully, her child was staying healthily by her side, or she might be even worse off that Selena.
“You’re really tired now. Sleep against me and don’t think about this anymore. I’ll deal with it.”
Robert hugged Mrs. Simpson to in his arms and tried to get her to sleep.
Georgia nodded and was about to close her eyes and get her to sleep.
Georgia nodded. She was ready to close her eyes and sleep when she thought back to what Vincent had said last night.
She turned back to Robert and spoke.
“No, I haven’t told you about yesterday yet. Mr. Poole already told me about Wesley’s situation. His memories were completely changed from hypnosis. I also asked Mr. Poole if his memory could be recovered, but Mr. Poole advised against it. He told me…”
Georgia repeated everything Vincent had said and Robert hurriedly spoke to her.
“All right, I’ve got it. Hurry up and rest. Your eyes are this baggy now.”
Her body was at her limit, so Georgia nodded.
She fell asleep against Robert’s shoulder.
This wasn’t like back when she was young anymore, still leaping and bounding after staying up late.
Once a person got past twenty-five, their energy wasn’t the same as before, and staying up late could almost be deadly.
