When they got to the airport and were about to enter the waiting room, Verian suddenly had the urge to pee.
Feeling worried, Heaton asked, “Why have you been going to the bathroom all morning? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Verian touched her belly, feeling kind of awkward. "A pregnant woman always feels the urge to pee. You go in with Kush first. I'll be there right after I go to the bathroom."
"Let me accompany you."
"It's okay. You're a man. People will laugh at you if you follow me to the bathroom. Maybe you can wait for me here."
Feeling a little uneasy, Heaton frowned. "Then I stand here and wait for you. Don't get lost."
"Argh, why are you becoming so long-winded? I'm not Jelly Bean, I'm a adult. I won't get lost!"
Heaton watched Verian enter the female restroom.
About 10 minutes later, Verian had not come out yet.
After looking at his wristwatch several times, Heaton told Kush, "I'll take a look."
Heaton walked to the door of the female bathroom but could not enter because of his gender. He called Verian but the call simply rang for a long time as no one picked up.
"What's going on?"
As such, he became anxious and immediately entered the female bathroom, causing a commotion.
"I'm sorry. I came in to find my wife. Sorry."
However, after calling her several times, no one responded.
Heaton's eyes sank. He had a bad hunch.
After striding out of the bathroom, he found a small ear stud that was hard to miss from the ground in the opposite direction.
Heaton's heart trembled—he recognized this ear stud! This was from the pair that Verian often wore.
He remembered that she had said she pierced her ears more than a year ago but if she did not wear ear piercings retainers or ear studs, her piercings would close up. Therefore, she would usually wear a pair of pure silver ear studs to prevent the piercings from closing up. Sometimes, she would not even remove them when she was sleeping.
Holding the small ear stud, Heaton frowned deeply. It was then that he seemed to realize something, turning around as he ran out briskly.
Watching Heaton approaching him in a hurry, Kush asked, "Boss, what happened?"
"Rainie was probably kidnapped. Go call up the airport surveillance immediately while I contact Yandel!"
"Okay."
…
Guant Family Mansion.
Both Yandel and Heaton speculated that it was Jean who kidnapped Verian.
There was a blind spot in the airport surveillance at a corner of the bathroom entrance. The person who did it was very professional. Jean must have hired a special agent for a very high price.
When Yandel picked up the phone, Heaton instantly grabbed his arm and stared at him sharply. "What do you want to do?"
Yandel pushed away his hand and said, "Don't worry. I'm not calling the police."
Heaton breathed a sigh of relief.
Without knowing the kidnapper's intention, they would only be provoking the kidnapper to kill the hostage if they simply called the police.
Heaton did not dare to take any risks when it came to Verian's life.
