Chapter 1445 How Could The Phone Be Switched Off?
Emmeline’s heart began to ache.
She then turned off her phone and left Abel’s office before walking out of the gates of Ryker Group.She felt lost as she looked at the bustling Glazer Street.
Without Abel by her side, the whole world seemed gray.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Abel escorted Maxwell up to the third–floor ward after his treatment wascompleted in the emergency room.
Soon, Maxwell woke up, but his gaze was dull and lifeless.
“Maxwell, are you feeling better?” Abel asked softly.
Maxwell mumbled, but Abel couldn’t understand a word.
“I’m here with you. Don’t worry, everything is fine now, so rest well!” Abel’s voice was hoarse.
Maxwell finally nodded slightly upon hearing that.
He felt at ease after seeing Abel by his side.
The clock on the wall pointed to seven o’clock, and suddenly, a thought rushed into Abel’s mind:Emma!
Oh no!
It’s already this late!
He forgot to make the routine call to Emmeline!novelbin
With that, Abel quickly took out his phone and ran out of the ward.
He looked down to make the call but realized that his phone was actually turned off!
Abel’s heart panicked, and couldn’t help but wonder why it would be switched off when it was workingfine carlier on.
Did the phone run out of battery?
He tried pressing the power button, and there was still half of the battery left!
Maybe it was in his pocket and got accidentally pressed?
He quickly dialed Emmeline’s number, but all he heard was the prompt tone saying that the user hewas calling was unavailable!
Abel’s heart felt like it had been scalded by boiling water, and a sense of panic spread throughout hisbody.
Anyone could be in trouble, but not Emmeline!
Abel immediately called Luca.
“Abel!” Luca answered. He was having dinner at home.
“Where’s Emma?” Abel asked, “Have you seen her?”
Luca was lost for words upon hearing that, and then he said, “Didn’t I drop her off at Ryker Group?”
“What time was that?”
“I dropped Dylan off at the train station around ten past five in the afternoon. After that, I brought Emmaback to Ryker Group. What’s wrong, Abel, don’t scare me!” Luca said.
“I can’t reach Emuna. She had turned off her phone!” Abel replied.
“Is it because her phone ran out of battery?” Luca asked.
Then he realized that something was off too. Since she was at home, she could have charged it.
“I can’t leave here because of an emergency. Quickly go back to the home office and see if Emma isthere!”
“Okay!” Luca didn’t care about eating his dinner anymore. Tll go right away!”
Luca searched around the premises of Ryker Group, but Emmeline was not in Abel’s office or thebackyard at home.
He even checked in several workshops, but no one had seen her.
Luca also went to RetroWave Advertisements, but they had already closed.
Where on earth did Emmeline go?
The worried Luca then called Abel. “Abel, I’ve looked everywhere but haven’t seen Emma!”
After hearing that, Abel held the phone in silence, and his heart sank
He then dialed Benjamin’s number. “Are you on a mission?”
“No,” Benjamin said, “I’m in the dormitory. What’s wrong. Abel?”
“Deploy your entire police force and help me find Emmeline!” Abel said in a deep voice.
Benjamin was startled upon hearing that and sat up straight on the couch. “What’s going on, Abel?Don’t
scare me!”
“Emma is missing…” Abel briefly explained the situation to Benjamin.
“Alright!” Benjamin said, ‘T’ll have all the duty officers search immediately and give you a reply withinhalf an hour!”
Abel felt somewhat relieved after hearing that.
He returned to the hospital room and sternly told Alana, “You have nothing to do here; go back!
“I’ll stay here with you! You haven’t eaten your dinner yet. I’ll go out and buy it for you!” Alana said.
“Don’t worry about me,” Abel responded coldly. “I’m asking you to leave, so leave!”
Alana pondered for a moment and then nodded.
She had already heard that Emmeline had disappeared, and she was secretly pleased after hearingthe news. Things had gotten interesting!
Not long after Alana left. Benjamin called.
“We’ve found Emma. She’s sitting by the Glazer Lake now. I’m going to pick her up.”
“How did she end up there?” Abel finally felt relieved.
“Maybe she wasn’t in a good mood. But don’t worry, I’ll go and talk to her for you. Benjamin reassured.him.
The Glazer Lake was situated at the end of Glazer Road, and although it was called a lake, it wasactually a reservoir in the city.
In recent years, the surroundings of the reservoir had been well developed well, and the lakeside hadbeen built into a small park.
In the morning and evening, nearby residents would gather here for walks, chats, and exercise.
Emmeline sat on a stone bench while hugging her knees.
The night breeze by the lakeside carried a hint of moisture that made it exceptionally cool.
Gazing at the calm ripples on the lake, glistening with the starlight from the sky. Emmeline was lost inthought..
In her heart, she kept calling out, Abel.
