One group was in charge of searching the homes of farmers nearby while the other searched clinics and hospitals within a ten-mile radius.
Natalie couldn’t walk too much as her wound had yet to scab over, so she brought Connor back to the Thompson villa and waited for an update on the search.
Silas came rushing over at nightfall and shouted, “We’ve found something, madam!”
Natalie was having dinner when she heard that, and she leaped to her feet in excitement. “You found Shane?”
Connor too, held his hands up in joy.
However, Silas simply shook his head and said, “No, but we did find some clues.”
The light in Natalie’s eyes faded, and she looked a little disappointed.
Regardless, she pulled herself together and took a deep breath as she asked, “What did you find?”
She was indeed disappointed that they had yet to find Shane but knowing they managed to find some clues to his whereabouts made her feel slightly better.
Silas took a moment to drink some water and catch his breath before replying, “Mr. Thompson was indeed rescued by a young woman.”
“A young woman?” Natalie couldn’t help but frown in jealousy, but quickly regained her composure by reminding herself that the woman had saved Shane’s life.
She then gave herself a little smack on the cheek for being so petty and recollected herself before asking, “So, the tricycle belongs to that young woman?”
“That’s right. I headed over to a hospital about twelve miles away from the river and managed to get some information on Mr. Thompson. According to the hospital staff, a woman brought Mr. Thompson to the hospital on a tricycle. However, she got him discharged yesterday and has already left the hospital with him.”
“Did they say anything about Shane’s current condition?” Natalie wanted to know if Shane was injured anywhere.
Silas nodded. “Yes. They told me that Mr. Thompson has a couple of scrapes on his body, but his head has suffered severe trauma from the impact. He has been unconscious throughout the past few days, so we don’t know if he has woken up yet.”
