Chapter 42
Meredith had too much a drink the night before. After a clash with the bodyguards by the entrance, she was taken back to the dorm by Zya. She immediately fell asleep. When she woke up, her head was in excruciating pain, as if someone just detonated a bomb in her. Her back hurt too. She staggered out of bed and stood up. She picked up her phone on the table and noticed that it ran out of batteries. After charging her phone. The first thing she did was call Alayna to ask about Nia. When she heard about Nia going missing, she was completely bewildered. “Mom, what’s going on? Why did Nia go missing?” “It’s all my fault! My fault!” Alayna was sobbing anxiously, “Last night, I thought you were going to reach the hospital soon, so I passed Nia to one of the nurses to look after. I didn’t know that you would be staying at the dorm, so…” “So, Nia spent the night alone at the hospital?” “Edith, it’s all my fault!”
“What’s happening right now? Did you get the hospital to help look for her?” “Yes, but we still couldn’t find her!”
Meredith thought calmly and said, “Mom, calm down. Nia is so weak she could barely walk. She must not be far. She should still be at the hospital. She must have been afraid of being alone at night, so she found someplace to hide.”
The more Meredith spoke, the more heartbroken and remorseful she was. Tears started falling. She hung up the call and immediately headed out for the door. The bodyguards immediately stopped her again and said coldly, “Miss Meredith , Josiah has already said. Other than the club, you can’t go anywhere.” “I have an emergency to attend to, all of you, f*ck off!” Meredith shoved them both with all her might
They did not expect that she would dare to go up against them. They stumbled a little. Meredith took that opportunity to rush out toward the main hall.
After all, she was more familiar with the layout of the Luna Club. She soon managed to shake off the two bodyguards chasing after her.
When she reached the hospital, Alayna’s eyes were already reddened from all the crying.
“Mom, can’t you find her anywhere?” Meredith asked Alayna while holding both her hands.
Alayna shook her head. “We’ve searched everywhere. Nia is nowhere to be found.”
“Have you seen the surveillance footage?”
“Yes.”
“What about the footage downstairs? Perhaps Nia went downstairs?”
“Nia’s a timid girl. She would never dare to go downstairs.”
“You still have to go through it.” Meredith ran and looked for the person in charge once more. The person in the surveillance said rather impatiently, “We’ve basically looked at all the places. There is no child to be found. What kind of parent are you, you can’t even look after your child?”
“I’m sorry. It’s negligence on our part. Please help me look at the ground floor once more.”
“Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry, can use the surveillance room. Please wait for the full twenty four hours, then call the police. Let the police investigate.” “We can’t wait that long!” Meredith knelt to the ground with a thud. She pleaded, “Sir, my child is only three years old. She can’t even ask for help. Something could easily happen to her. Please help me check the surveillance once more. I’m begging you.”
The man was taken aback by Meredith’s kneeling, so he gave in and said, “Get up first.” Meredith wiped her tears and thanked him gratefully, “Thank you. Please help me check the footage on the ground floor after twelve last night.” ‘The time range is too wide. Why don’t you do it yourself?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Okay.” Meredith immediately went to the computer to start looking at the footage. Her heart was thumping wildly.
Via, please be safe. I cannot live without you,’ Meredith secretly prayed. Tears streamed
