"Did my mom contact you?" "No, why? Why are you suddenly asking about her?" Rosalie replied.
"She's missing. We can't get in touch with her, and we've searched everywhere but can't find her." Rosalie was shocked, and she immediately set aside her impatience. "She's missing? Did you report it to the police?" "Yes, we already did. That's why I wanted to ask if you've been in touch with her." Rosalie thought back. "I did see her last night at Gary's Grill." "Really? What texactly?" "Around 8 PM, maybe a little earlier," Rosalie answered. "I had just finished dinner and was about to leave when I saw her with a woman who looked to be in her sixties. She said that the woman was her client. I talked to her for a bit, and then I left. We didn't contact each other after that." "She went missing last night. Do you remember what that client looked like?" Hearing this, Rosalie also sensed that something was wrong and began to feel uneasy.
"I don't remember clearly. She was wearing heavy makeup, but she Vl looked very elegant, like a wealthy lady. She must have been an important client at the bank. Can you check the restaurant's surveillance footage?" en.kikistories Theodore's voice grew heavier. "That's the problem.

"I don't know." His tone was filled with anxiety, just want to find my mom. It doesn't make sense for her to bepletely unreachable. The restaurant's surveillance being tampered with is clearly intentional. I'm afraid something's happened to her." en.kikistories Rosalie's concern deepened, though she felt powerless to help.
"Don't panic. Send people out to search for her and push the police for updates. If you have any connections, use them to help locate her." "I know. You should rest now. I won't disturb you anymore." "Is there anything I can do?" Rosalie asked.

Even if she doesn't recognize you, she still likes you. She was talking about you today, saying she finds you kind and warm. She also wants to see the baby." "Okay, I'lle over tomorrow," Rosalie replied.
"Sorry for disturbing you so late," Theodore said apologetically.
"It's alright. I should be the one apologizing didn't realize it was something so urgent, so I was a bit harsh at first. Also...
