Chapter 187 The Escape Plan Failed
Selina suddenly remembered that she had to inform Amanda about this as soon as possible, or Elias would find her in no time. She dialed Amanda's other private number, and the call went through soon enough.
Her voice rang out from the other end of the line. "What's the matter, Selina? I'll be boarding the plane in thirty minutes."
"Amanda, get out of there! Your ex-husband came just now, and I've already told him what you taught me to say, but he quickly sensed something was wrong. I didn't spill anything, but he already deduced you were running away. He's now sending people to the train station, the airport, and the harbor to look for you!"
Amanda fell silent for a few seconds on the other end of the line. "All right, got it. I should turn off this phone too, or he'll find me right away."
"Okay, be careful."
…
At the terminal.
After Amanda ended the call, her face turned a little pale, and her fingertips even began to tremble subconsciously. Elias had already caught on and sent his people to look for her everywhere…
She knew how capable this man was. If he wanted to look for a person, he could find them in the blink of an eye. She looked at the boarding port, wishing she could board the plane sooner. Still, it would take almost forty minutes to drive from the city to the airport, so he probably would not be here in time.
Amanda glanced at her watch. She would be boarding in thirty minutes, so she might be able to make it…
She gripped Aiden's tiny hand beside her. No matter what, she would not be separated from her son.
"What's the matter, Mommy?" He was drinking from the juice box he held in his arms when he felt her taking his hand, his small face tilting upward.
She smiled bitterly. "Nothing, Aiden. No matter what happens, you'll choose to side with Mommy, right?"
"Of course. I love Mommy the most."
When she heard his determined reply, she could not help but chuckle. He was such a sweet child.
Time ticked by, and Amanda kept looking anxiously at the number, every second feeling like an eternity. She chanted in her heart, Hurry, let us board the plane now…
She dared not turn to look behind her because she feared she would see Elias' figure as soon as she did. It was even scarier than encountering a ghost in a haunted house.
…
Meanwhile, Elias' bodyguards were looking high and low for the mother and son. "Yacob, check the train station, and I'll go to the airport." Elias gave his orders in the car.
Yacob nodded, then pulled up by the road and said, "I just checked the surveillance cameras in the community. When we drove in, Miss Bailey and the kid had just gotten into a cab. Judging from the direction they went to, they might be headed for either the airport or the train station. The harbor isn't quite probable, so we can scratch that."
"Alright. I'll take the airport."
Hence, the two got out of the car before Elias got into the driver's seat and sped to the airport. An aggressive and domineering look filled his dark eyes. He would never allow Amanda and the child to disappear from his sight.
Four years ago, he did not know anything, but things were different now. He understood his heart and finally recognized the most important things in his life. "Amanda, don't ever think of escaping…" He set his gaze ahead and floored the gas pedal, muttering to himself.
It would usually take forty minutes for him to arrive at the airport, but he took only thirty minutes. After getting into the terminal by special means, he began looking for the mother and child. However, the airport was huge, and there were too many people, so it was tricky to find someone.
