The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 Kidnap

“Yeah! Where’s Sophia?” Clayton looked around the vicinity to search for Sophia, but there was no sight of her anywhere.

“Where did she go?” Franklin asked, panic in his voice, “Could an accident have happened to her?”

“We can’t be twiddling our thumbs here like idiots. The temperature will drop even further when night falls.” Xavian said gravely, “Sophia might not survive the night with only a ski suit and without food.”

The boys immediately reported her disappearance to their teacher.

The teacher was stunned to hear Sophia from the Bowers family was missing. Feeling nervous, the teacher instantly contacted the ski resort worker and launched a search and rescue.

Worried about Sophia’s safety, Xavian, Franklin, and Clayton joined the search party and decided to split up, hoping they could cover more grounds and find her soon.

The temperature at the ski area dropped tremendously as the sun set, taking its warm glow with it. Panic and dread began to set in when the boys still couldn’t find Sophia. Thus, they started yelling as they searched, wishing she would call out.

“Sophia, where are you?”

“Sophia, stop playing tricks and come out. Call out if you can hear my voice.”

“Sophia, come out!”

Only the boys’ voices echoed against the snow-covered ground of the ski area.

Suddenly, Franklin tripped on something hard, lost his balance, faceplanted into the snow.

When he looked over his shoulder at the object, it turned out to be Sophia’s precious tumbler. She had promised Natalie to fill it with snow and show it to the latter.

The boys had even suggested holding the tumbler for her earlier, but she insisted to hold onto it.

Sophia won’t just leave the tumbler here under normal circumstances. Something must have happened to her.

“Xavian, Clayton, come over here quick. Come look at this!”
