459 Tammy Is Missing
Selina invited Anna and Wayne to her birthday party. She made many dishes and only invited her family members.
While having dinner, Tammy fiddled with the crab legs on her plate intently. She gathered some crab meat and placed it on Selina’s plate, saying, "Happy birthday, Grandaunt Selina.”
Hearing that, Selina laughed happily.
Tammy pulled out the jade bracelet with her greasy hands while eating crab meat, which surprised Selina and moved her to tears. Then, Selina cried on her husband's shoulder.
Wayne, who was sipping the soup, looked perplexed and locked eyes with Tammy, who was also feeling overwhelmed.
Tammy had crab paste on her nose, but she didn't even realize it. She said as she was worried, "If you don't like this one, Grandaunt Selina, | can get you another. Don't cry, please!”
After hearing her words, Selina looked up, smiled, and kissed her cheek, "I cry because | feel so happy. | love your gift, of course! "
Then Anna's phone vibrated. She got a message from Peace, saying, "| really miss Tammy! I'll pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon and let her spend the night at my house.”
Anna continued to drink her soup and replied, "sure."
The next day, when she received a phone call from Tammy's teacher, Anna was having lunch in the hospital cafeteria. After talking to her teacher over the phone, Anna knew that Tammy hadn't arrived at school all morning. 458 Tammy Is Missing
Taken aback, Anna tried her best to stay calm. She then dialled Peace's number.
Peace sounded tired, but after hearing what Anna said, she immediately woke up. She asked, surprised, "You said | texted you yesterday that | picked up Tammy? No, | didn't!"
"Come see me in person then." After saying this, Anna hung up the phone, exhausted. She was shocked and upset.
Minutes later, she arrived home to find Wayne and Peace waiting for her in the living room. They were both stone-faced and silent.
“Anna! What in the hell is going on?" Peace ran to Anna as soon as she saw her enter. She was terrified on her way there. She had been waiting for Anna for a long time, so she told Wayne to come home as well.
Anna sat on the couch and then burst into tears. She took her phone from her bag and opened her chat log with Peace.
"| really miss Tammy! I'll pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon and let her spend the night at my house.”
"Sure."
Seeing the text messages, Peace jumped up from the couch. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Impossible! | worked late at the office yesterday and didn't even get home that night. | didn't even send you this message!"
Then Peace suddenly recalled something terrible. Frowning, she said, "I went downstairs to the supermarket to get coffee around eight o'clock yesterday, and then | lost my phone. When I left, a little girl returned it to me." She then took her phone from her bag, searched for their text message and found that their most recent message was sent last week.
Hearing that, Anna was desperate. She was sweating all over and felt like the world was spinning around her. 458 Tammy Is Missing
"Anna, are you all right?" Wayne asked. He was concerned that Anna would crumble under the pressure of one blow after another.
Anna looked up at Wayne with sadness. Her voice shook as she said, "Go find Tammy, Wayne. Please find her!"
