Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 285

Charles' POV:

Once we were at the airport, I escorted Scarlett to the security checkpoint, but I was reluctant to let her go.

She let out a sigh when she realized I didn't want to let go of her hand. "Charles, if I don't go in now, I'm going to miss the flight."

"But, I don't want you to leave," I replied, embracing her.

"We're only going to be apart for a day." Scarlett wrapped her arms around my neck and pecked my lips.

In response, I cupped her cheeks and kissed her.

At long last, I reluctantly let Scarlett go and watched her walk into the security checkpoint.

It wasn't until she disappeared from my sight that I withdrew my gaze and turned to Richard and Janet as they stood beside me. "Why are you two here?"

"She did ask us to keep an eye on Rita's movements," said Richard.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he asked, "Shall we go to the company now, sir?"

I shook my head and walked aside towards the big LED screen, staring at Scarlett's fright information. About ten minutes later, the info on the LED screen displayed that the flight to New

York had taken off.

I sighed and walked towards the airport's exit.

People were coming and going around me, and most of them walked in groups. I saw many men and women embracing each other. The smiles on their faces were beautifully sincere. Somehow, it made me feel like my heart was melting.

Soon, I stopped at the exit.

"Is something the matter?" Richard asked as he walked up to me.

I chuckled at his question, staring back at him. "Book the next flight to New York for me."

At first, Richard was surprised by my command, but he quickly gathered his composure. "Yes, sir!"

Right after that, I called Amy and told her to cancel my schedule for the next few days.

Scarlett's POV:

After getting off the plane, Tracy and I went straight to the hospital. We noticed that the security checks at the entrance of the hospital were particularly strict. They required everyone to show their ID.

"What do you think happened?" I murmured. I had a bad feeling about this.

Tracy appeared to be serious. "Generally speaking, hospitals don't usually set up security checks that strict. Unless..."

We exchanged glances, and rushed to James ' ward after going through the security checks. But upon our arrival, we saw that the ward was empty, and only a nurse cleaning up the bed was left.

I grabbed my wrist to prevent myself from trembling. "Excuse me, was the patient here a boy? Where is he right now?"

Stunned, the nurse looked at me vigilantly. "And you are...?"

"I'm the mother of that child, Scarlett Moore. His names is James Moore, right?"

"Yes, ma'am, it is. But he, uh..." The nurse was hesitant to continue.

I strode forward, grabbing her hand. "What happened to my boy? Please, don't scare me like that." My voice was trembling as I spoke.

Unable to bear it any longer, the nurse replied, "He's missing. We have no idea who took him away. At the moment, the entire hospital is under martial law, but we haven't heard anything yet."

I staggered backwards, refusing to believe what had happened.

"Scarlett!" Tracy held me up just in time.

As I held onto her hand, I tried to calm myself down. "Tracy, call Charles. Now!"
