Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274

John frowned upon hearing this and quickly commanded, “Dispatch more men, seal every single exit in the building, and search every room until you find her.”

The woman must have gone into hiding after she found out that he was here.

However, he had their daughter, and he knew that she would not abandon her daughter and run off on her own.

Two hours passed.

Peter and his men had searched through every nook and cranny of the confinement center. The only thing they had not done by this point was to dig through the very foundations of the building. Still, there were no signs of their target.

Peter returned and carefully whispered in John’s ears, Sir, we searched every corner of the place but we couldn’t find Miss Sherry anywhere, also…”

((

John coddled his daughter in his arms with a flash of ice inside his eyes. “What is it?”

Peter gulped and informed, “We noticed that the emergency exit at the back of the confinement center was left

open even though it should be closed most of the time. We suspect that Miss Sherry has escaped the

building.”

John frowned with a terrible look on his face.

She ran?

She ran away!

What about her daughter?

He shot up from his seat.

The suddenness of his action must have awoken the sleeping baby. She was wide awake now but bawling at the top of her voice.

A soft look immediately overtook John’s eyes as he looked at Caprice affectionately.

She was pouting and crying at the top of her voice.

Aunt Wanda promptly stepped up and stated, “She must be hungry, she needs milk.”

John glared at Peter impatiently and roared, “Find her immediately!”

“Wahh!!!” Caprice cried even louder.

The staff members and the nurses could tell from one look that he was not in a good mood and knew better than to approach him.

Aunt Wanda and Ben could not figure out what was on his mind either, and they looked at Caprice with stark

concern.

Caprice’s heart–wrenching cries were the only voice echoing through the building.

Meanwhile, behind a thick pillar only roughly ten meters away from the entrance of the confinement center.

Sherry was hiding behind the pillar and cautiously peeking into the building.

Caprice’s cries reached her ears even from this distance. It stung her to hear her child crying like this. She felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife!

She clenched her hands tightly, tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

She was this close to charging into the building to rescue her darling daughter.

The only thing that stopped her from doing so was the flashbacks of the grueling year she spent locked up inside John’s house and her time in the staff dormitory. These oppressive and haunting memories surfaced from the back of her mind out of nowhere.

If she committed to such a reckless move, not only would she fail to get Caprice back, but she would also be thrown back into that torturous chamber.
