Natalie's heart skipped a beat as she tightened her grip around the fork. “Are you trying to tell me that something
happened to Shane?”
Silas parted his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and simply gave her a firm nod.
Everyone was shocked.
“No way!” Lina covered her mouth in surprise.
Sally was stunned as well. “W-What could happen to a powerful man like Mr. Shane?”
“Mommy, is Daddy in danger?” Sharon, who had always been naïve, ran up to Natalie and asked after
understanding what happened.
Natalie did not hear what she said as she was still stunned.
It turns out the restlessness I've been having is a bad omen. I experienced the same thing last time when
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething happened to the kids. Why did I ignore it this time?
Tears rolled down Natalie's face.
Looking at her, Connor then glanced at his sister, whose eyes had turned red. He turned to Silas and asked, “What
happened to Daddy, Mr. Campbell?”
“M-Mr. Thompson is missing!” Silas replied.
Natalie rose to her feet. “What do you mean by missing?”
“Yeah, Silas. How can Mr. Shane be missing?” Sally asked while shaking Silas' arm.
Silas took a deep breath and replied, “Mr. Thompson disappeared. The manager and the others in the country have
been searching for him for the entire day but to no avail.”
Natalie felt as though the world was spinning.
Pushing the chair away, she staggered up to Silas. “Tell me. How did he go missing? Did Sean kidnap him?”
“No, but it's related to Sean too. The manager said that they discovered their hiding place in J City. When they
searched the place, they walked into a trap as Sean had placed explosives and gasoline around the place. The
explosion of the explosives ignited the gasoline, so Mr. Thompson and the others had fled and jumped into a river.
But to everyone's dismay, Mr. Thompson has gone missing,” Silas explained, taking off his glasses.
As a man, he hardly cried, but he could not help it at that moment. Not only was Shane his employer, but he was
also his friend and benefactor. Hence, he was upset that something had happened to him.
Upon learning about how Shane disappeared, Natalie almost blacked out.
“Nat!” Fortunately, Sally and Lina noticed her condition and went up to hold her. Only then did she manage to pull
herself together.
“How can they not find him? Since he disappeared after jumping into the river, he must be inside the river. Has no
one gone into the river to look for him?” Natalie yelled in agitation as she clutched Silas' arm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs a woman who had lost her husband, she could no longer remain calm.
What she wanted now was to know whether her husband was safe and where he was.
“That's right. Mr. Campbell, did no one go down to the river to look for Daddy?” Connor, who was holding Sharon's
hand, asked.
Silas nodded immediately. “Of course they did. The manager sent many divers to look for him, but they just couldn't
find him. Besides, it's a fast-flowing river. We suspect that Mr. Thompson might have been washed away.”
“If that's the case, they should go downstream to look for him. They should be able to find him there, shouldn't
they?” Natalie yelled.
Silas gave her an apologetic look. “I'm sorry, Madam. They did and even went to the end of the river, but they just
couldn't find him.”
“How is that possible?!” Lina knitted her brows. “He disappeared in that river, so it's unlikely that he'll leave the river
even if he was washed away, unless—”
“Unless someone saved him!” Sally's eyes lit up.
Hearing this, Natalie became hopeful again.
