He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 376

Nelson's car headlights were also on, brightly illuminating the open space around them.

The property manager went to check the cameras and returned, trembling as he reported, "All the cameras in this area mysteriously stopped working tonight."

Nelson narrowed his eyes, his tone dark. "What do you mean?"

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead. "We don't know what happened either. We're inspecting them now; they should be fixed soon."

Nelson had encountered enough bad luck tonight. Now Moonlight was missing. Could she have been stolen?

Moonlight was so small, not even half a year old. How would she be treated?

What would Juniper do if she found out?

Nelson was well aware of what happened to Lucky. During college, whenever Juniper thought of Lucky, she would hide under the covers and cry alone. It was a hurdle in her life she could never get over. It took a lot of determination for her to bring Moonlight home, and now the dog was gone.

Nelson scratched his head in frustration and grabbed the manager by the collar. "Go find her! Find her!!"

He also called over several of his own bodyguards, but even after scouring the entire neighborhood, there was still no trace of the dog.

Three hours passed, and Nelson's anxiety was visible.

The lights in Juniper's villa were fixed. The interior showed signs of being ransacked—cabinets were open, and books were scattered on the floor, looking very messy. The property management suggested a thief broke in tonight and left the door open when they fled, allowing Moonlight to run away.

That was their story, but Nelson obviously didn't buy it.

He got back into his car and leaned against the seat, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times.

The men he brought had searched the surrounding area again but still found nothing.

The window on the driver's side was rolled down. One of the men searching for the dog stood outside. "Boss, she's definitely not in the neighborhood. We've posted a message in the homeowners' group chat offering a $200,000 reward, but so far, no one knows where the dog is."

As he drove, he scanned the sides of the road and had his men blast the $200,000 reward for the missing dog to all the nearby neighborhood group chats.

A small dog, with a $200,000 reward upon finding it—it showed how much the owner cared. Many people woke up in the middle of the night to help search. Since there were quite a few office workers living within a three-mile radius, finding this dog would be like hitting the jackpot.

The rain continued to fall through the night. Nelson helped search all night until his eyes were bloodshot, but they still couldn't find her.

With everyone coming up empty-handed, he grew increasingly worried that something had happened to Moonlight.

She was so small. If she fell into a ditch, she wouldn't be able to climb out.

He rubbed his temples. He hadn't even used an umbrella last night. Just wearing dress pants and a shirt, he had been out searching all night and was now completely drenched.

For the first time, he found the city's rainy days so deeply repulsive—the sticky dampness made him incredibly irritable.
