Obviously, no one could answer this question to Terrance at the moment.
Only then did Nathaniel notice Terrance. He nodded at him and said, "Mr. Hans, I heard that you've mobilized all your resource to help me find my son. Thank you."
The words "my son" made Terrance confused again. "The missing child is..."
"My son! Zion Shen! He took his mother's surname."
Nathaniel's explanation made Terrance understand immediately that Mango and Nathaniel were not what they had appeared to be, someone who had just met each other for one or two dozens of days.
It turned out that those two even had a child of their own. No wonder they had such a deep relationship.
"I will try my best. If there is any news, please let me know."
Terrance didn't waste any more time and he walked away with the wheelchair.
Nathaniel and Mango did not dare to waste any time either. They quickly began to look for Zion.
Mango was a little worried that Nathaniel's body could not take it, but Nathaniel insisted, "Ever since he was born, I have never fulfilled my duty as a father for just one day. This time, he ran out because of me. If something bad happens to him, how can I face you in the future? How can I face him? Don't tell me anything about my physical condition. If Zion is no long here, what do I still need this body for?"
Nathaniel was a little calmer than Mango.
He was thinking that Zion would not run too far away with his legs, so he must still be around the hospital.
"Get the people, and search the entire military hospital for me. And, you go to the monitoring room with me. Let's see if we can find any clues from the monitor."
After listening to Nathaniel's words, Mango became a bit clear.
The minute when she realized that Zion was missing, she felt as if the sky was collapsing. If someone told her to analyze the case like a genius, she couldn't do it at all.
The bodyguards began to search every corner of the military hospital inch by inch, while Mango followed Nathaniel to the monitoring room.
Because of Nathaniel's special identity, when the director of the hospital knew that the Young Master of Ye Family was missing, he even tried his best to cooperate with him by asking everyone to retrieve the monitoring videos so that Nathaniel could review them.
The video clips were retrieved.
Nathaniel and Mango stared straight at the video, constantly searching for Zion's information, but Zion's figure did not appear in any of the videos.
All of a sudden, Mango pointed at a screen and said, "Look, Zion was hiding at the entrance of the corridor when he just got out of the ward."
Nathaniel hurriedly looked over.
The video was not very clear, but it could be seen that Zion was hiding at the entrance of the corridor, feeling particularly aggrieved. He kept looking in the direction of the ward. An obvious disappointment was hidden in his eyes, and he finally turned around and ran to the backyard.
Mango's nose started to feel sore again.
"This child was waiting for me to chase after him. I only said a few words to you, what made him think that I didn't want him?"
Mango covered her mouth and cried.
Nathaniel looked at his son's disappointed eyes, and his heart was about to break. But he was a man, and he was Mango's support. He couldn't panic, and he couldn't lose his mind.
"Mango, let's go to the backyard and have a look. Maybe we'll find something."
Mango nodded quickly and rushed to the backyard with Nathaniel without stopping.
The backyard was neither big nor small. Especially since this place was used for the patients to take a walk during their recovery, there was a lot of plants and the ground was uneven. No one would know where a four-year-old child could hide.
"Search inch by inch! I don't believe I can't find him!"
Nathaniel's eyes were as cold as ice.
How dare that man actually touched Nathaniel's son in the territory of Ocean City.
Mango now had no time to think about anything else and she also began to search.
Suddenly, she saw a ray of light.
Mango quickly ran over. Under an evergreen tree, she found Zion's mobile phone.
"Nathaniel, hurry up! This is Zion's cell phone!"
Mango's surprised voice lifted Nathaniel's heart again.
He quickly ran over and somewhat felt a little pain in his chest, but he didn't have time to take care of it.
The record on the mobile phone showed he was last calling Abyss. It also evidenced that shout mentioned by Abyss, he was sure that Zion was kidnapped here.
Nathaniel looked around and found this place to be indeed remote. Generally speaking, no one would come here, but someone actually kidnapped Zion from here. What did that mean?
It meant that someone had been watching Zion for a long time.
It suddenly occurred to him that Mango had said that someone had called Zack under her name to send back Zion and Wisdom. Could that person who had kidnapped Zion turn out to be the one who pretended to be Mango?
Nathaniel's eyes suddenly got darkened.
Mango saw Nathaniel frown slightly as if he was deep in thought. She did not dare to disturb him. Although she was extremely anxious, she still waited quietly.
Seeing his wife's expectant eyes, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "I'll make a call."
Mango nodded.
"No! Rita can't travel on a plane with her situation at all, not to mention getting on any ships or trains for such a long trip. Abyss, I know that you are also worried about Zion. I am even more anxious than you, but you have to watch Rita. Nothing can go wrong with Rita any more. I will look for Zion. If there is any news, I will call you, okay? Don't take Rita here, please don't!"
Mango's agitation drew Nathaniel's attention.
Thomas' investigation showed that Abyss had an illegitimate daughter named Rita. She was in a bad physical condition and she lived in the hospital all year round. However, she had a good relationship with Mango, and she also had a good relationship with Zion.
Now, he actually wanted to take her sick child to Ocean City to help Mango find her son? All of a sudden, Nathaniel felt a surge of anger and jealousy.
His woman, his son, why should an outsider be so worried about them!
Nathaniel took over Abyss' phone and said coldly, "Mr. Tang, your daughter's health is the most important thing. As for Zion, I'm here to take care of it. Don't worry."
After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.
Abyss was stunned by Nathaniel's words about his daughter.
It seemed that Mango hadn't told Nathaniel about Rita yet?
Did that mean Mango and Nathaniel hadn't got back together? Or was Mango just using Nathaniel?"
Thinking of this possibility, Abyss suddenly felt relieved. Although it was not appropriate to laugh out loud at such a moment, he still smiled.
Seeing Abyss like this, Rita asked happily: "Godfather, can we go to find my brother and mommy?"
Abyss finally came back to his senses and said apologetically: "Baby, your mommy said that your body can't handle flying, so she won't let us go there. When your mommy and brother come back and you get better, we can then go and take the plane, okay?"
Rita' expectant eyes suddenly dimmed.
"All right."
She was not being unreasonable, but Abyss could tell that she was very depressed.
Although he didn't tell Rita why he wanted to go to Ocean City, Abyss still felt himself a bit too cruel when he first gave a moment of expectation for the child and then took it away.
While he was coaxing Rita, Mango saw Nathaniel hanging up the phone angrily. Thinking of what he had said just now, Mango decided to tell him about Rita.
"Nathan, Rita is actually..."
"Let's find Zion first before talking about other things. Now it has been more than an hour since Zion disappeared. Now there is no news at all, and we don't know what that person wants. If they just want money, I will give them as much as they want, as long as they don't hurt Zion."
Nathaniel didn't want to hear Mango talking about Abyss' daughter, so he changed the subject in time.
Little did he know, because of this change of subject, he would not know that he still had a daughter in this world for a very long time in the future.
