Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604 Mary Went Missing

"Our team had been watching Mary all along; later, when the trial commences, they will bring her here," Matteo explained.

Just then, an urgent ringing abruptly interrupted their conversation.

As soon as Matteo saw the caller ID, he frowned slightly before looking over to Ainsley. He then answered the call and put it on speakerphone.

"Hello? Mr. Easton?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"There's a problem," the person on the phone said frantically. "Mary's gone missing!"

Ainsley's expression turned serious as he looked at Matteo. In a somber tone, Ainsley questioned, "I specifically told you to keep an eye on Mary. How could she have disappeared?"

"Mr. Easton, Mary was still here an hour ago. We just stepped away to use the restroom for a moment, but when we came back, she was gone!"

Ainsley quickly asked, "How about the little boy? Where is he?"

"The little boy is gone too."

Ainsley immediately turned to Matteo and said, "We need to go there right away."

Two men inside a flat in Beacon Hill were at a loss for words as a man and woman walked in.

"Mr. Easton, we didn't touch anything in the room. After we noticed that they were gone, we immediately searched around and looked everywhere nearby, but we still couldn't find them. We suspect that they have already left the residential area," the man said nervously.

Matteo fixed the man with a cold stare. "You're seriously telling me this? We paid you a lot of money to keep an eye on them, and yet you couldn’t even manage to watch over a woman and a child. What was the point of hiring you?"

Ainsley walked into the room and noticed there were no slippers at the entrance. The shoes by the door had not been changed, and a phone was left on the coffee table along with a knocked-over cup that had spilled water all over the floor.

Ainsley interrupted Matteo and solemnly said, "Matteo, she didn't leave on her own. She didn't even change her shoes, so something must have happened suddenly."

Ainsley then redirected her gaze toward the two men and inquired, "Have you two checked the surveillance footage?"

Upon being reminded, the two men shared a blank look, suggesting that they had forgotten to check the surveillance footage.

The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved, which showed a man fully covered from head to toe taking away the child. Shortly after, Mary was seen running out frantically, still wearing her slippers.

After examining the surveillance footage, the two men were relieved to find out that they were not at fault.

Ainsley then said, "Matteo, looks like someone has intervened."

"We were the only ones who knew about you meeting Leonard. It's strange how someone took action immediately after you met him," Matteo said seriously.

Ainsley’s face wore the same unpleasant expression as Matteo's. To her, the multitude of events that had occurred could only signify one thing. "Matteo, it's possible that we've had someone watching over us all along."

Matteo understood the gravity of the situation and shut off the tablet. He then passed it to the other two and said, "Take the surveillance footage and show it to the others. We need to find Mary at all costs."

"Yes, Mr. Easton," the two men replied.

At Virginia Mason Hospital, Koen Gage had completed three rounds of the potent medication. His unwavering efforts had paid off, and he had regained some movement in his hands. The 24/7 surveillance cameras captured him opening his eyes for a brief five-minute period on a particularly late night, marking a significant breakthrough.

Despite being in a coma, Brady Wade in the special care ward on the third floor did not receive the same treatment. Irene could not help but feel disappointed, but she had exhausted almost every option, and the only way to get Dr. Cerf's help was through Manuel's connections and the doctor himself.

Dr. Cerf was already irritated with Irene's behavior last time, and now whenever she appeared near him, his assistants and bodyguards would keep her at a distance.

Of course, Irene had heard about the significant breakthrough with the doctor's effective medication, but there was nothing she could do.
