"When did this happen? Have you searched all the places?" Kevin asked, standing bolt upright. It was obvious that he was very worried.
"It has only been half an hour since I lost contact with her. However, before that I was in a meeting. So I wish to know when she left home. I will find it out after I go back home," Edward said as he started the engine and drove away quickly.
"Don't worry, probably she is in a no signal zone. You continue trying to contact her. If there is still no information about her, call me, I will arrange some people to search for her."
Hearing that Edward lost contact with her only about half an hour ago, Kevin felt a little relieved. He knew while Daisy was on a mission, it was impossible for people to reach her sometimes even for one or two days. Kevin thought it must be a routine thing. He was used to such situations. Probably Edward was overreacting. Daisy was not an ordinary woman, she was a colonel, it was not easy for others to hurt her.
"Okay, I hope it's really like what you have said. Bye!" Edward didn't feel relieved after talking to Kevin. It was impossible for him to calm down till he saw Daisy and Justin safe and sound with his own eyes.
Today, the sun was shining bright in the S City, but for Edward, it was darkness all around. Things became worse for him, when he heard the bodyguard say that Daisy and Justin left the house at around 10 am this morning. He had never been more scared.
"What happened? Daisy and Justin are still out of reach?" As soon as Cynthia and Jonathan received Luke's call, they weren't in the mood to play any more. They hurriedly rushed back home. When they reached home, they saw Edward's pale face.
"Yes, no news so far. However, I will try to find her at all the possible places. Probably I am a little too worried. And maybe she is just enjoying her lunch somewhere." Edward tried to stay positive in front of his parents. He was reluctant to think that anything bad could happen to Daisy.
"Do you have any clues to look for her? If no, you'd better stay here and think carefully about all the possibilities." Jonathan frowned and took out his cellphone. He walked to the window to make a call.
"Yes, Edward, don't worry too much. You should calmly analyze the situation before you go out and look for her. It will only be a waste of time if you head out looking for her without any clues." Standing beside Edward, Cynthia patted on his shoulder to console him.
"I know, but I can't think of anything. It is impossible for me to stop worrying about them. I can't just sit at home and wait for any news to come." Edward closed his eyes, trying to think of all possibilities. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his head. He hurriedly made a call.
"Hi, this is Brian, who's that?" Just like Edward, Brian too hadn't saved his number. So he was very confused when he picked up the phone. Last night, after he met Paul he was heartbroken. To console himself, he went to the bar to get drunk. Since he drank too much, he was still feeling very dizzy now.
"It's me, Edward. Did Daisy contact you today?" Edward pursed his lips. Two days ago when he tried to contact Brian, he failed to find his number, So, Edward had to reluctantly save his number later. He didn't expect Brian wouldn't save his number either.
"Daisy? Why do you ask? What happened to her? Did you do something to upset her?" As soon as he heard Edward's words, Brian jumped out of the bed immediately. He hurriedly ran to the wardrobe to find some clothes to wear. He was very quick in his movement.
"Nothing. I am unable to contact her right now. And I wondered if she was with you." Edward sighed. His hope was shattered again. He was running out of reasons for Daisy to step out of the house with injured feet. He didn't know what to do now.
