Chapter 98: John’s Disappearance
John is just about to contact Edward when someone came and knocked him out, and this person takes his wallet and phone. It is obvious to see that Edward has money, but he is not seeking it.
He has always been kind to people, never had enemies, so this time it should not be against him, it seems that someone is destined to suffer for Alice.
One day, two days and three days, the kidnappers come every day on time to bring him food, but John is unexpectedly quiet.
He is slowly looking for a pattern, in an effort to break through this den of thieves in one fell swoop.
Alice is still in prison, Edward is abroad, and she has parents and children at home. Now, he can only rely on himself, he must not panic, the children and Alice are waiting for him.
Four days, five days, six days...
The guards are getting more and more relaxed because John does not even think of escaping. There are even times when a few people will joke together with him. Occasionally John will also say a few more words.
The policy for John is that as long as he does not contact the outside world and just run away. After all, John's family background is also good, it is not the kind that everyone could take at will. It is ok to hold John for two days, but not to hurt him.
This night, outside of the villa room, the lights and shadows are heavy, and some people's voices can be heard talking.
John feels very strange, this should be a secret base. How could there be so many people?
Things are bound to go wrong with demons, especially on someone else's turf. John peeks out of the doorway but he sees a distinctly familiar figure but could not recall who he is.
"What are you doing?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Just when he wants to see more clearly, the people by the door finds him. There is no consequence, just guarded the door tighter.
John simply gives up, he saw a lot of people moving things just now, all kinds of big boxes, without knowing what's in them, they look heavy, just don't know if....
If so, this place was really too dangerous.
Familiar person, familiar person, that familiar person is actually Mayor Hale, although he has previously developed abroad, he will always pay attention to the situation in his hometown, so he has seen Mayor Hale's face. That person just now was clearly the city's Mayor Hale.
Those boxes, Mayor Hale, the person who kidnapped himself, a series of questions associated, John runs through his thoughts quickly, it seems that the person who kidnaps himself is related to Mayor Hale, and what Mayor Hale is doing now must be unspeakable! He is right! He remembers his tape recorder sharply.
Edward Smith, who is far away in a foreign country, can be said to be scratching his heart during this time.
Jacqueline's treatment progress is very slow, he has to discuss with the medical team every day to save the plan, but the results are negligible, and every day he will also contact Alice, but she never answers the phone and does not reply messages.
She had been doing this to him for sometimes, and he does not perceive that anything was wrong, but he is making a great effort trying to win her back.
The content of the messages ranged from poetry to life philosophy, from shared memories to the interesting children. In short, Edward changes methods to chat with Alice, but Alice still never replies.
One day, when Edward was staring at Alice's picture, he thinks the doctor passed by and even recognizes it.
"Mrs. Robert."
That doctor happened to be a classmate of Alice, who had known her since she first came to the United States, and Edward begins to learn about Alice's life without her from other's mouth.
Edward is a high school classmate with Alice. From the beginning of high school, they were the object of envy of countless people, very sweet, young time is always simple. When they went to the university, they still choose the same university. The first love in high school to the university period more in-depth understanding of each other. After graduation, they choose to stay together and then it is five years of separation.
Five years later, the goodbye to Alice, as if for a new person, that simple and beautiful little girl, has gone through transformation.
Knowing from other stories, it turns out that Alice has gone through a long period of adjustment when he came five years ago, and he should have wanted it.
Who would want to turn themselves into a saber-rattling hedgehog if they could?
The more this happened, the more Edward feels heart-broken.
Turn out to be when he is not there, she went through so much pain.
"Nurse, how is her condition? When is it going to wake up?" Edward quirks his eyebrows and asks, he has been disturbed for the past few days and has a strange feeling of uneasiness, Although he has used to Alice not replying to his messages and not answering his calls, Alice who is not paying attention to him for such a long time is really a bit worrying. Looking at the handsome man in front of him with locked brows and a worried look, the blonde nurse thought that he is worried about the patient inside and is somehow envious.
"Mr. Smith, the patient's brain is severely traumatized, and will not wake up for a while." The nurse with a scarlet face lowered her head, not dare to look at Edward's eyes.
As Edward listens, his sword brows furrowed more and more.
That night, Edward once again calls Alice's phone and unexpectedly receives a message.
"Let's not get in touch. I don't want to receive those messages from you at all. John and I have decided to leave here."
By the time Edward calls the phone again, the phone has been turned off.
"Alice! You actually dared to leave with John!" Edward's face is gloomy, and he makes a phone call to Assistant Ginsberg on the spot, asking him to book the fastest flight back to the country.
At the same time, Albert and Rebecca also discovered that John is missing.
"Albert, what should we do? Mommy is set up by that vixen, and daddy is also abroad, so there's no way to contact him, and even Uncle John has disappeared." Rebecca is so anxious that her little face was pulled together in one piece.
In the meantime, Albert's starry eyebrows and his small appearance, there are already a few shadows of Edward, especially the cold breath emitted from the whole body, the same as Edward's.
"I'm trying to find a way to break into George Hale's office system, as long as I grasp his line of arrangements, I can definitely rescue Uncle John first." Albert said.
"What about mommy?"
"Mommy is in jail for the time being, at least she's safe, Joanna Hale won't do anything about it for a while, but Uncle Song, who suddenly disappeared. I suspect this matter must be the handiwork of George Hale's side." Rebecca listens and feels more anxious, watching her brother stare at the phone, the small hand has to snap to play without stopping, also does not dare to make a sound to disturb, she only hopes to find Uncle John quickly. As if she knows that Albert is concentrating on his work and cannot be disturbed, Rebecca endured for a long time and finally asks, "Albert, why don't you try to contact daddy?"000000
