Chapter 5 So You’ve Actually Returned
Byron looked at her coldly for a few seconds.
Wendy pinched the palm of her hand placidly, afraid that she might give herself away.
“You better be telling the truth.”
Byron looked away after a moment to look toward Luther who was waiting at the side. “Have we heard anything from the police?”
Luther’s tone was heavy, “Not yet for now.”
Saying that, he carefully glanced at Byron and added worryingly, “Could the little lady have been kidnapped?”
The little lady was his master’s sweetheart, she held a valued position within the Lawrence household, and everyone watched over her through the years.
She had almost been kidnapped before in the past.
Now nobody could find her and even the police had no news which compelled Luther to wonder if she had been kidnapped.
Hearing this, Byron’s gaze darkened suddenly, and he said in a fierce voice, “Send out more people and expand the area. We must find her today!”
“Yes!”
The master’s anger was practically solidifying. There was a chill in Luther’s heart before he answered.
Just as he was about to turn around and head out, Byron’s mobile phone rang.
He did not have the mood to answer the phone at present and fished out his phone impatiently. Just as he was about to hang up the call, he noticed it was a stranger’s number.
Recalling what Luther had just said, Byron’s veins jumped and his complexion chilled as he answered the call.
The moment the call connected, a woman’s light and soft voice sounded from the other side, “Hello.”
Hearing this voice, Byron’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes.
This voice…was practically the same as that woman’s!
It had flashed through his mind when he saw that silhouette in the airport that afternoon…
“Hello? Is someone there?”
Having not heard a response after a while, Rosalie asked again, puzzled.
Byron slowly collected his thoughts and simply answered, “Yes.”
That one syllable was obviously not enough for Rosalie to recognize anything.
Hearing a response from someone at the other end, Rosalie was relieved. “Hello, so it’s like this, I found a little girl here and she gave me this phone number. I suppose you are her father? Do you have time to come down now and pick her up?”
The woman’s voice sounded clearly in Byron’s ear, echoing.
The more she spoke, the colder his eyes became.
A layer of frost had formed over the man’s eyes after she finished speaking.
So it was actually her!
