Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison novel Chapter 71

Georgia Lane recalled that Vanessa Cooke mentioned to her before. She was in a panic situation when she reported to the police.

Now Travis Armstrong was missing and police officers wanted to get a statement from her, so she was sweating nervously. 

“Officer, I have a friend and he went missing in the ward just now. He has some problems with his brain. He is a little bit retarded. I am afraid that he might be cheated by someone. Can I do the statement later? I want to look for him.”

Both of the officers looked at each other and they walked further away to have some words.

After a few minutes, one of the female officers walked towards her. 

“You can do the statement later and the reason we come here today actually is to have a better understanding in the case. Since your friend is missing, we can help you to look for him. How about you tell me about your friend’s identity and his missing time as well as his relationship with you?”

Georgia was surprised instantly.

The police officers were right here and she could seek help from them to look for Travis. Her heart was a little excited and Georgia immediately told them what had happened.

“Yes. I come back with the missing person together and I will provide more details to you all later. His name is Travis, ten years ago he suddenly went missing and became a beggar. He lives in D City and his birthday is...”

When Georgia was talking about Travis’s details, the female officer recorded down.

“Alright, I will help you look for this person. Ms Lane, since this person went missing in the hospital, I’ll accompany you to check the hospital’s security cameras first.”

With the help of the police officers, soon Georgia was able to negotiate with the hospital.

When checking the footage, Georgia discovered that Travis was wearing patient clothes when he walked out from the hospital and he seemed to be very worried. 

Georgia did not know whether Travis was finding her or something else had happened to him. Both of the officers asked further more about Travis’s current situation. 

After Georgia finishing saying her words, one of the male officer said to her. 

“According to my past experience, if your friend is in this condition, he isn’t completely foolish and he still can barely remember you. He is now either looking for you or going back to his own home. You said that he has been missing for ten years. Where is his previous home? Is the house still there?”

Georgia was stunned suddenly. 

After Travis had gone missing, Georgia went to the place where Travis and his grandmother used to live for countless times. 

Travis and her grandmother lived in a courtyard house and there were many people living inside there. Not long after that, Travis’s grandmother went missing too. 

For years, Georgia never went back to that place. Could it be Travis want to go back to his house?

Georgia immediately told everything she knew about Travis’s old house to the officers. Then, she followed both of the officers by car to Travis’s previous house. 

The officers helped Georgia to ask Travis’s former neighbours. Then only, Georgia knew that Travis’s grandmother had passed away in a car accident.

These people still remembered Travis but he had been missing for more than ten years and many of them still thought that he went to study abroad. 

Nobody knew that Travis had become a beggar during these ten years. 

Most importantly, none of the neighbours staying nearby saw a man who was wearing patient clothes came back here, no one saw Travis come back to the house.

This meant that Travis did not come here. 

However, when some of neighbours recalled their memories, one of them said something like this, it was from an old lady who lived here for many years. 

“After hearing what you said, actually, during these years, I often saw a beggar who was in a dirty look came to our courtyard house and walked back and forth in our neighbourhood. He wore clothes which were extremely dirty and often humiliated by a group of children. Now I start to think that he could be Travis? What has this child been going through? He used to be very excellent, how can he become like this...?”

The old lady was a bit emotional and even cried when she talked. 

Georgia remembered that this old lady was Travis’s neighbour and she talked several times with this old lady before. 

“That should be Travis and I don’t know either what has happened to him in these years. Mrs. Dawson, if Travis come back again, please contact me immediately.”

Georgia left her contact number for her. 

The time already reached noon, they still could not find Travis. Georgia already applied for leave from her research institute earlier. She also informed Vanessa about this incident. 

Vanessa also asked for Alfred Chow’s help but there was no any news regarding Travis. 

The female officer suddenly asked. 

“Besides his old house, are there any places that he likes or have good memories, I think maybe he will go to such places.”

As the officer saying the words, Georgia’s face instantly turned pale. 

“I think I know where he is.”

After saying the sentence, Georgia immediately gave the officers an address. The male officer drove the car and headed to the destination with Georgia as well as the female officer. 

She was going back to the Lane family. That was the place where they went back countless times by bicycle together. 

Just that, Georgia had not assumed this place as a home since six years ago. 

If Travis went out from the hospital to find her, then now he would definitely go to the Lane family.

So many time had passed, Georgia could not imagine what had happened to Travis. 

Owen Lane, Emma Lane and that Flora Wong hated him so much. What Georgia scared the most now was Lane’s family members bullied Travis.
