CHAPTER 670 LUCAS WILL BE FINE.
The other side answered quickly, with a steady tone, “Hello?”
“Lucas is missing,” Evelyn told him directly.
For a moment, the man’s voice and breath disappeared on the phone. The next second, it became heavy and clearly suppressed, about to burst with emotions. “When did it happen?”
Upon hearing his question, Evelyn’s last glimmer of hope shattered. If it wasn’t Huston, then who could have taken their child? Evelyn couldn’t believe it was a random occurrence. It must have been someone she knew or someone who knew her.
“Just now, downstairs from my home,” Evelyn recalled Lucy’s
words, and the tightly wound nerve snapped. She couldn’t
help but choke up as she continued, “My mother said he
disappeared in the blink of an eye. My parents are searching
for him now…”
As Huston listened to the woman’s trembling and incoherent voice, he knew she must be going through immense anguish, just as he was. Holding the car keys, he walked outside while
trying to steady her emotions. “Don’t panic. You need to stay calm when the child is missing. I’m on my way right now. It hasn’t been long since he disappeared, so nothing serious. should have happened. Trust me, this is Jewel City, and no one can harm my child right under my nose.”
Every word the man spoke carried weight and strength. Evelyn finally felt a slight relief from her anxious heart. She wiped away her tears with her hand. “What should we do now? Grace called the
police earlier, but they said they
couldn’t open a case.”
“I’ll have someone investigate. You go meet your Mom and
Dad first,” Huston instructed, fearing that she might lose
control. He couldn’t help but remind her, “Don’t move from
there, wait for me.”
“Okay.” Evelyn closed her eyes, and teardrops the size of
beans fell on her knees. “Hurry up and come.”
A fierce determination surged through Huston’s heart. He
worried about Lucas’s safety and felt immense pain for
Evelyn. He vowed to tear apart the person who took Lucas.
“Alright.”
The three of them rushed to Hub Apartment from different directions. Evelyn arrived a little earlier and had a shorter
journey, but just as she arrived, Huston also arrived
downstairs in his car.
It was hard to imagine how fast he had driven, surely risking
his life.
Lucy and Ben were wiping their tears in front of the building. Even the man, who rarely shed tears, couldn’t hold back and
started crying. “Evelyn, you’re here.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Mom, Dad, don’t cry. Nothing will happen to Lucas,” Evelyn’s comforting words didn’t have much effect because even she
was terrified.
Huston surveyed the surroundings. Although his heart was simmering in anxiety, he tried hard to remain calm. “Where did Lucas go missing from?”
“Over there,” Lucy pointed to the pancake shop behind the building. It was located on the ground floor of the community. Their neighborhood consisted of ordinary buildings, a bit old, where a few households on the ground floor ran breakfast or
other small businesses.
Huston frowned. It was unlikely for a child to get lost at such a short distance, and human traffickers wouldn’t enter the
community to steal a child. Someone must have targeted him.
to take the child.
The man turned slightly and took out his phone to call the police chief, his tone filled with sternness. “My son is missing. Please send someone to investigate, Director McLean.””
As his words fell, not only Grace but even Ben and Lucy couldn’t help but look at him with surprise. The two words “my son” spoken directly from his mouth carried a powerful and
heart-wrenching impact.
But at this moment, who could say anything? Lucas was indeed his son, and this man’s eyes were bloodshot from the distress of losing his child.
