Chapter 271 The Answer Inside of Him
As soon as the music started playing, Theodore was panicked and he quickly looked at Morgan.
"Momo, turn the music down."
"... Okay." She obediently replied while her little finger continued to tap on the screen and the music
remained just as loud.
Downstairs, Sion saw Aurora's determined attitude of wanting to chase him away. He moved his lips
but before he could say anything else, a familiar tune echoed from upstairs.
That music sounded so familiar.
At that moment, he got growing suspicion inside of him. After taking Morgan to an amusement park
some time ago, she had been listening to this song every day since then. And now that he heard it
again at Aurora's place after Morgan went missing. Was it a coincidence?
"Is there someone upstairs?" Sion looked at Aurora with a doubtful expression.
Aurora also became alert upon hearing the music. She panicked inside but tried hard to remain calm
and asked, "What does that have to do with you?"
Sion had a very bold idea in mind; he turned on his heel and walked towards the stairs.
"What are you doing?!"
Aurora stopped him with an angry look in her eyes. Her heart was filled with confusion and panic. How
came the two children suddenly started playing music?
Fortunately, though, neither of them came down directly from upstairs.
"Is your son upstairs? Why won't you let me see him?"
Sion gave her a deep look before walking around her sideways, "What is there worth seeing?"
"What's the matter with you? My family affairs shouldn't concern you, as an outsider, you're wandering
around someone else's house like this. I don't think it's appropriate." Aurora stepped aside once more,
trying to stop him while feeling extremely annoyed inside. "My son doesn't want to see you."
"You're right."
Sion's pitch-black eyes gazed at her for a moment; although hurt inside for just one instant, he didn't
show any reaction whatsoever.
"Mr Carroll, it's time for you to leave"
Upon hearing her words, something triggered within him. So Sion suddenly turned around and walked
into the guest room, leaving Aurora standing there bewildered not knowing what he intended on doing
next. After a short while, the man walked out of the guest room with a doll in his hand.
"His doll was left in the corner, I'll return it to him." Said he.
Aurora's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the doll in his hand. It seemed like Morgan's. How did it
end up downstairs? Did he notice something?
Aurora tried to remain composed despite her sweaty palms. "It's okay, kids often misplace their toys.
He knows where it is." She said as she took the doll from him and forced a smile, "Can you leave here
now?"
Sion couldn't help but feel strange about this situation-the toy and music upstairs seemed to be calling
for him to investigate further.
He sighed helplessly as he glanced upstairs before giving up on insisting any longer.
"I'll wash my face then leave. I can't go out looking like this." Said he.
Aurora couldn't find a reason to refuse this time, so she just let him use the restroom. She watched him
leave with relief flooding through her body. As soon as Sion drove away, Aurora relaxed and breathed
out deeply.
She finally turned her attention upstairs with worry etched on her face. The music from earlier couldn't
have been just a coincidence; maybe Morgan intentionally played it since even though Morgan had an
innocent personality, she was also very clever.
This incident made Aurora realize that Morgan's dependence on Sion had exceeded what she NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
imagined possible for herself. She slowly clenched her hands together on top of her knees while feeling
indescribable emotions inside of herself. Sion was still looking for Morgan. If he continued to pester her
like this, he would find her suspicious one day. Thus, Aurora learned her lesson. With an idea in her
mind, she walked upstairs.
Sion drove back to the company, feeling slightly better but still groggy. His eyes were bloodshot and
sharp, making the employees feel uneasy around him.
"Mr Carroll, do you need me to go buy some medicine for you?" David asked, concerned as he saw
Sion rubbing his temples.
"No need."
Sion rarely got sick and he could feel that his body temperature had already dropped significantly.
"Morgan, any news yet?" asked he.
David was hesitant to answer.
"... Not yet." He replied after a few seconds of silence. He never expected that the little girl would
disappear without a trace like this. It was almost impossible to find any clues about her whereabouts.
Sion felt a sudden pain in his head. But having heard this kind of result too many times before, he didn't
get angry this time. His eyebrows furrowed together slowly as his voice turned cold, "Since we can't
find her in Lower Hopton, let's expand our search nationwide."
"What do you mean by that?" David asked anxiously.
"Search all airports and train stations across the country. There must be some information about her
somewhere." Sion finished speaking with a sinking feeling in his heart. He found something that just
didn't seem right about this whole situation.
Even if Morgan were not biologically related to him, there would be no way she could just vanish into
thin air like this. And now he knew she was his daughter, which made it even more impossible for him
to give up on finding her easily.
"Yes sir." David nodded quickly before leaving in a hurry.
After David left, Sion looked at two photos of Morgan on his phone, which were taken when she was
hospitalized.
The little girl with very fair skin had big round eyes, which sparkled whenever she smiled, revealing one
small fang on the left side of her mouth.
While comparing the two photos, Sion got an idea-Morgan did not look much like him at all. Instead,
she resembled another person.
A gentle smile crept onto Sion's lips while a warm but sour feeling filled up inside him, as he stared at
the pictures repeatedly.
