Chapter 1330 She Wanted to Harm Rainie
Lanie could see that Tommy was confused, but he thought it was better that his younger brother did not know what was going on, so he shook his head.
Old Master Crawford said, "Alright, I know what needs to be done. Bring your younger brother to the dining table, eat your breakfast, then go to school. Also, don't run around after school is out. Wait for Uncle Sean to come and pick you up."
Old Master Crawford did not know about Bianca, so he thought that Bianca and Rainie's disappearance was caused by some other reason. He guessed that someone might have abducted Bianca and Rainie and was holding them ransom.
Lanie knew that he had to keep the secret to himself. He nodded, took Tommy's hand, and led him to the dining hall.
After they had their breakfast, the driver took them to school.
"Lanie, where's Rainie? Why isn't she with us today?" Tommy asked.
Lanie did not want him to worry, so he said, "Rainie isn't feeling well today, so she's staying in bed."
Tommy nodded, though he was thinking that things were not that simple. The other people must be hiding something from him.
Sean sent Lanie to his school. After watching him enter the gate, he drove the car to Tommy's kindergarten.
Tommy leaned on the driver's seat and said, "Uncle Sean, can I borrow your phone for a while?"
Sean did not know what Tommy wanted to do. He passed him his phone and asked, "What do you want to do, Master Tommy?"
Tommy took the phone. He knew the passcode to the phone because he had borrowed it several times. When he heard the question, he said, "You all aren't saying it, but I know that you all are hiding something from me. Has Rainie gone missing?"
Sean was shocked. He did not expect Tommy to guess the truth.
Every adult in Crawford Manor knew that Bianca and Rainie had not returned since they went out the night before. Old Master Crawford told them not to tell Tommy in case he threw a tantrum.
Three years ago, Tommy was affected the most when Bianca was abducted. Old Master Crawford did not want to see Tommy being sad over his mother again.
"Why aren't you saying anything, Uncle Sean?" Tommy looked at the driver with the demeanor of a little adult.
AS Sean steered the car, he smiled awkwardly and said," You're overthinking, Tommy. There's no such thing."
"I could see that Lanie isn't himself earlier, and I know that something is amiss. Also, when I went to take my backpack from my room, I went to check Rainie's bedroom and Mommy's bedroom. They’re not inside." While Tommy said that, he dialed Luca's phone number.
He was also worried that Rainie was gone, and his first thought was to go and find Luca for help.
Sean glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Tommy was messing with something on the phone. He was relieved that Tommy was not crying.
"I don't really know what happened. I'm only an employee after all," Sean said. He insisted that he did not know that Rainie and Bianca were missing.
Tommy did not reply. Instead, he brought the phone to his ear.
Soon, Luca answered the call.
When Tommy heard that the call went through, he did not beat around the bush." Please help me, Ms. Luca," he said.
Luca was still groggily brushing her teeth, having just woken up, but her eyes opened wide when she heard the boy's voice. Judging from Tommy’s anxious tone, she instinctively knew that something bad had happened. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Mommy brought Rainie out last night, and they haven't returned. I'm afraid that something might have happened to Rainie. You're so powerful, Ms. Luca. Can you help me find my sister?" Tommy said. He asked Luca to help him find Rainie but said nothing about finding Bianca.
"What did you say?" Luca's toothbrush in her hand fell into the basin.
"Mommy brought Rainie somewhere, and no one in the family can contact them. We're all very worried..." Tommy said. "Great-Grandpa doesn't look like he wants to involve the police. Ms. Luca, can you help me?"
Luca asked Tommy once more to confirm the facts. Indeed, Bianca had brought Rainie somewhere the night before, and they had not returned home since.
"Alright, I'll go and look for her. You don't have to worry or be afraid. Also, are you on your way to school?" She said.
"Yes." Tommy wiped a tear from his eye. He did not cry out loud, but he was nonetheless affected by the incident.
Luca was not certain what happened to Rainie, so she remained vigilant. She asked, "Is your family driver sending you to school?"
"Yes," Tommy replied.
"Alright. You should go to school and not worry about it. Don't run around after school, and stay next to your teacher before your driver comes to pick you up." Luca knew the driver's route. This belongs to - ©.
After leaving Crawford Manor, Sean would go to Lanie’s school first because it was closer to home.
"Alright, Ms. Luca. Will you help me bring Rainie back?" Tommy did not know why he trusted Luca more than he trusted those people in the Crawford family.
"I'll definitely bring Rainie home. Be a good boy and don't cry. I'll be hanging up now, and I'll go and look for her." Judging from her slightly shaky voice, Luca could tell that Tommy was starting to cry.
Tommy was still very young. It was natural that he would cry when he was worried.
"Mm," Tommy replied and ended the call.
After hearing that the call ended, Luca placed the phone in her pocket, picked up the toothbrush, and quickly brushed her teeth.
She planned to take the day off work to go and look for Rainie.
The impostor Bianca had brought Rainie out of the house. Even though Luca did not know the exact details of what happened, her instincts told her that the impostor Bianca was plotting something.
The impostor Bianca was from the Island of Despair. She would not have been abducted by someone else that easily.
However, Luca could not figure out the impostor Bianca's motives for taking Rainie out of the house.
Did Abel command her to do that?
The more Luca thought about it, the more afraid she became. She was afraid that Abel had ordered Bianca to take Rainie away and harm her...
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Luca rushed into the bedroom and took out another laptop.
Amur noticed that Luca was anxious. He asked, "What's wrong, Luca?”
Luca told him what happened.
Amur frowned when he saw her execute a special program on her phone. "You should just let the police handle this instead of worrying. If that woman took your daughter away, she wouldn't dare to harm her because it'd be disadvantageous to her. Also, you shouldn't underestimate what the Crawford family can do. It'll be very easy for them to find a missing child."
Luca turned her head to look at Amur. Her eyes were already filled with tears. "What if she planned to harm Rainie, and she had already thought up an excuse?"
Amur was silent. If it was indeed that man's plan, the little girl might not be there anymore by the time the Crawford family's men found Bianca. It might be hard for Bianca to explain it, but she could possibly find a way to deceive them.
