Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 751

75Ballard knew that Martha was Tim's soft spot, but also Tim's entire world.

He said hurriedly, "Someone has seen your mother at the harbor area, but she doesn't seem to be alone. There are a man and a woman beside her. The woman is not very tall, dark-skinned."

Ballard tried his best to tell Tim the clues.

Maia's face immediately flashed upon Tim's mind.

It couldn't be her!

Absolutely not!

"Are there any surveillance cameras there?"

"Yes, but the footage is blurry. And because it's so blurry, we can't identify the person. I've called the police and the police have begun to investigate it. Don't worry. I will definitely find your mother back."

Tim didn't respond, as if he didn't hear Ballard's words at all. He just said coldly, "Show me the surveillance video."

Seeing Tim's icy response, Ballard felt sad in his heart, but he still had people handed over the surveillance video to Tim quickly.

Tim opened the video to have a look. He froze when he saw Maia's figure in the video. His face immediately clouded over.

"You know this woman?"

Ballard could tell that from Tim's expression and asked hurriedly.

Tim didn't say anything, but he copied the video and then turned around to leave.

"Hey, what does he mean? He has pulled me by my collar and threatened me after he came back. Now he just leaves here without saying a word. What does he take me for?"

While Mrs. Louis was shouting, Ballard shot her an angry glance.

"Shut up! Don't you know the situation is serious now?"

"Serious? It wasn't me who took Martha away. Why are you all so angry at me?"

Mrs. Louis still wanted to continue, but suddenly something was thrown towards her. It scared her so much that she screamed and squatted down.

At the same time, Tim slammed the door.

Mrs. Louis shivered as she looked at the hanger beside her which was still spinning.

"Ballard, your son is trying to kill me."

"If you don't want to die, you'd better shut your mouth."

Ballard was very upset.

After leaving there, Tim went straight to Samuel's place.

When Samuel saw Tim, he whispered, "Keep your voice down. Nicole just lay down."

"Did Trevin contact you?"

Tim cut to the chase and asked about Trevin's whereabouts. Samuel was shocked as he heard that.

"No. Why are you looking for him?"

"My mother was taken away by Maia."

As soon as Tim said that, Samuel knitted his eyebrows.

"Are you sure?"

"See for yourself."

Tim sent the surveillance video to Samuel.

Samuel was surprised when he saw Maia in the video.

Although the surveillance-camera footage wasn't very clear, anyone who was well acquainted with Maia could recognize her.

"I'll try asking around for you."

Samuel immediately used his network to have others checked Maia's whereabouts.

The look on Tim's was sullen.

Originally, it was just a relationship problem between two people, but now the situation had been aggravated so greatly.

Samuel did not know what Tim was thinking. He had someone made a cup of tea for Tim.

"I think there is more to it. If Maia only approaches you because of your mother, have you ever told her about the sanatorium where your mother is in?"

"No."

Tim frowned again.

"I just couldn't expect that after she went missing, she has come to the Seapolis City to see my mother. What exactly do they want from my mother? My mother is sick and weak. She'd better take good care of my mother, or I'm never going to forgive her."

Tim's clasped his hands tightly together.

"Let's talk about that after we find Maia."

While they were waiting for news, Nicole got up.

When she came out and saw Tim's gloomy expression, she couldn't help but feel surprised.

Samuel drew her aside to tell her everything he had heard.

"How could that be Maia?"

"I don't know, but this is obviously a big shock to Tim. Go to buy some food. Let's invite him for supper tonight."

Nicole was stunned when she heard Samuel's words.

"Why are you so generous today?"

"He is already disappointed in love, so I will be generous to him just this once."

Samuel made a joke.

Nicole glared at him and then went to change her clothes. When she went past Tim, she said, "Stay here for supper tonight. I'll go to buy some food now. Samuel will cook later."

"Did I say I am going to cook?"

"You didn't?"

Samuel immediately shut his mouth as Nicole asked him rhetorically.

Looking at the two lovebirds, Tim said dejectedly, "I've already lost my love. Can you two stop being lovey-dovey in front of me?"

"Sorry, I'm too used to it."

Samuel's words were a heavy blow to Tim.

"Sure!"

Nicole didn't know what else to say to Jason, so she simply nodded.

To avoid making Nicole embarrassed, Jason left quickly, but the expression on his face was somewhat lonely.

Still perplexed by how to handle her relationship with the Don family, Nicole could only pack up her things and went back to the Green's.

When Samuel saw the worried look on Nicole's face after she went back, he asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did you run into any trouble on your way home?"

"No. It's just that I met Jason just now and he asked me to take the children back when I have time."

Nicole did not hide anything from Samuel.

Samuel knew the conflict between Nicole and the Don family. He whispered, "If you find it difficult to deal with them, just ignore them. After all, this is your own life. The most important thing for you is to be happy."

"Actually, it's not about whether I'm happy or not. I just feel that I owe them something. After all, Mrs. Green lost her life because of me. Now they're asking me to go back, but I really don't know how to face them."

That was what had always troubled Nicole.

Of course, Samuel knew her worry, so he whispered, "Do you need me to apologize to the Dons?"

"No. That has nothing to do with you. It was Monica who did it, not you."

Nicole directly rejected Samuel's suggestion.

Tim had gone to the balcony to smoke. When he came back, he saw Nicole standing there with her head bowed. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You didn't find anything delicious?"

"All you care about is to eat."

Samuel rolled his eyes at him and said to Nicole, "Go take a shower. We'll have supper later."

"Alright. You stay with Tim."

Now Nicole did not have the mood to comfort Tim at all.

Tim was still curious.

"What happened? Who upset her?"

"It's none of your business. Tim, you should also send your people to look for your mother. After all, this is your own problem, right?"

Samuel looked at Tim with disdain.

Tim flung himself on the sofa.

"My father has sent out all the people that the Louis family can use. This is the first time I've ever seen him worry so much about my mother. Isn't that ironic? He has never gone to see my mother after she became crazy many years ago. Now he had a sudden impulse to visit her, and then he immediately exposed where she is. Sometimes I feel that some people are spying on my mother and me in the dark. I don't know when they will jump out and hurt us. After my mother went missing, at first, I thought my father is behind it, but I could never expect that it is Maia who is involved. How ironic is it!"

"Alright. We haven't figured out the whole thing. Let's talk about that after we get more information."

Samuel tried to comfort Tim.

Suddenly, Nicole's sharp cry came from upstairs.

"Nicole?"

Samuel pushed Tim away and ran towards the bedroom.

Feeling unhappy to be left behind, Tim paused for a second and then immediately followed Samuel.

Nicole was not a girl who always made a fuss. Why did she scream all of a sudden? What exactly had happened?
