Muprary.
The day had already dawned brightly, with people bustling in and out of the building. The sound of anxious footsteps echoed, striking at the heart like a drumbeat.
On the large screen, the red dot that had been silent for a long time finally started to flicker again.
Isaac and the others had been waiting here for a long time. They had finally received signs of Charles, who had been missing for several days.
Charles proactively shared his location and assured them of his safety.
“Give the order to send trustworthy people to Mr. Newton, and make sure to bring Mr. Newton back safely.”
Isaac pinched the bridge of his nose, they had not rested for even a moment these past days in their search for Charles’s whereabouts, fearing they might miss even the slightest glimmer of hope.
“Dispatch a helicopter, and then bring the doctor over as well. We have to prevent any potential problems.”
“Yes.”
The subordinates around him stepped back, tirelessly setting off to arrange all the related tasks.
Upon receiving the message, Whitney immediately met up with Isaac.
Just a few days ago, she looked exquisite and beautiful.
However, due to what happened to Charles recently, she hadn’t been getting enough rest for a few days. The exhaustion and weariness on her face were visible to the naked eye, and faint red lines could be seen in her eyes, which was heartbreaking to see.
“Is everything arranged?”
“Upon receiving the message, I immediately sent someone to make arrangements. We will pick up
Mr. Newton right away…
Isaac stood behind Whitney, clearly reporting his plan.
Then, he changed the subject immediately and said hesitantly, “Mrs. Newton, you mustn’t neglect your health. It’s not worth it. Now that we finally have news of Mr. Newton, it would indeed leave everyone worrying about both of you if something serious were to happen to you.”
Whitney walked over to the chair nearby and sat upright, nodding slightly in a somewhat distracted manner, indicating that she understood.
But how could she not worry?
Since the day Charles went missing, nearly half a month had already passed.
At the airport, the roar of the helicopter was thunderous. It’s difficult-to-bear noise. seemingly comforted everyone who was about to go find Charles.
“Mr. Turner, everything is ready. We can take off at any time.”
His subordinate held an instrument, standing solemnly by Isaac’s side. As they watched the flickering red light, Isaac couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
In these past twenty days, he had been living a life worse than death, burdened with an overwhelming sense of guilt.
Just as they were preparing to take off, one of the subordinates suddenly came running over. Then he whispered a few words into Isaac’s ear.
Soon after, he saw Whitney, dressed in a long white dress, walking over with an anxious look. on her face. Isaac quickly went to meet her.
“Mrs. Newton, you… how come you’re here? Aren’t you supposed to be resting?”
Whitney shook her head, her eyes full of worry.
“Isaac, could you please let me come with you? I want to see for myself that he’s safe. Is that alright?”
Faced with Whitney’s request, Isaac found it impossible to refuse her.
The helicopter took off, and based on the signal of Charles’ location, Isaac and his team quickly found the place Charles sent.
That was a fishing village on the border.
Since it was close to the border, there were foreigners around here.
However, the majority of people living in the fishing village were the elderly and children who had stayed behind. Generally, Charles preferred not to interact with these people. Overall, the village remained quite underdeveloped.
Nonetheless, the sky here was bluer and the sea was clearer.
Seagulls hovered low over the vast sea, their cries echoing, as if this was their true home.
None of them truly appreciated the beauty of this place. Even if it was stunningly picturesque, it couldn’t compete with a heart full of worries.
Charles was quietly waiting on the seaside beach, waiting for Isaac and the others to arrive.
This place was spacious and people seldom walked there. Hence, there was ample space for helicopter to land and take off.
