Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

“Yes, I did.” Answered Donna. She followed behind Sion while sniffing, “I’ve looked for her everywhere, beneath the beds, the wardrobes… I’ve checked everywhere where she could hide but, she’s gone.”

She knew Morgan would always listen to her and Sion. Except for what had happened yesterday, the girl would let her know before she did anything. However, she was very worried about Morgan since the little one hadn’t informed her this time.

If anything happened to the girl, she thought she would be too guilty to explain anything to Sion.

Sion was quiet while searching every corner of the house, including every cabinet. And he instructed David, “Go check the surveillance videos from the guard, I want to know how she managed to get out.”

David strode away for the work after responding to Sion quickly.

Later, a bear toy beside the window caught Sion’s attention. It was the toy the little girl liked a lot.

Sion looked around the house, finding no trace of her struggling. Thus, he deemed that Morgan could not be taken away from inside the house. Besides, if someone broke into the house and taken her away, Donna would have noticed some noise. So, he suspected that Morgan had run outside herself.

Lips pressed tight, Sion’s face darkened. He suddenly remembered that yesterday and the time before, Morgan had come to the company to find him from home. Could it be that she did the same thing today? But he had just come from the company and had not seen Morgan there.

He stood up in a hurry and said while walking, “Donna, I’m going out to look for her. You stay here and let me know if anything happens.”

“Okay… sure!”

Sion drove slowly along the road leading to the company as he searched for Morgan. The scorching sun beat down on him. Since there weren’t many pedestrians on the road so it was easy to spot a little child.

He arrived at the company quickly but was told by reception that Morgan hadn’t shown up.

Where could she have gone?

Sion walked out of the company’s entrance, feeling helpless. The intense sunlight made him momentarily dizzy and he didn’t know which direction he should go in.

Morgan was his real daughter. But now he had lost her.

Sion hung his head weakly when another face suddenly flashed through his mind-he thought of Aurora.

Could the girl have gone to find Aurora since she liked her a lot? Without hesitation, Sion took out his phone and dialled Aurora’s number, hoping for good news.

Aurora had just finished talking with Cameron when her phone rang again before she could put it down

When she saw Sion’s name, she felt a bit panicked. But she quickly regained composure since that man didn’t have any evidence against her yet. As long as she denied it, nothing would happen.

“Hello?” Aurora answered calmly, pretending not to know what happened.

“Aurora, Morgan is missing.” Sion said without paying attention to how she sounded, “Has she contacted you or told you where she went?”

Aurora pretended to be surprised and asked, “What? Morgan is missing?”

She sounded worried then asked tentatively, “I don’t know about it. She didn’t contact me. Are you saying that she might have come to me?”

Sion felt upset about her answer.

“Are you sure she hasn’t contacted you?” He asked anxiously.

“Yes, I’m sure. Could it be possible that she intentionally hid somewhere? Have you looked everywhere?”

“Yes, I’ve looked everywhere.” Sion pinched his forehead, feeling frustrated, “Can you guess where she might have gone?”

He didn’t know why he was asking this question. Maybe it was because he had no idea where to start looking.

Aurora’s fingers tightened slightly. Of course, she couldn’t tell him where Morgan went, but it wouldn’t hurt to redirect his attention somewhere else.

“There’s a place in the playground with a rocking horse or maybe the claw machine in the nearby mall. There’s also a cotton candy stand at the square. You can try looking there, she might like those places.”

“Okay,” Sion replied eagerly as if he had found a lifeline and quickly hung up before driving off.

But just two seconds into his quiet drive, something clicked in his mind bringing him to suspicion.

How did Aurora know that Morgan liked those places?

Sion doubted for a moment but pushed down his suspicion since Morgan hadn’t been found yet and followed Aurora’s directions anyway.

However, even after an entire day of searching every corner of Lower Hopton, there was no progress made whatsoever. Sion felt like he was going crazy, clueless and helpless.

David reported that there were technical issues with the surveillance cameras around that time frame-even those outside of their community failed to capture anything useful.

Sion walked into Morgan’s room when he got home and stared at her stuffed animals on her bed, feeling overwhelmed by helplessness.

How could there be no trace left behind?

Bang!

He punched the wall next to him out of frustration, as pain shot through him slightly calmed him down.

Sion walked over to her bed and picked up one of her stuffed animals while breathing unevenly. All kinds of questions swirled around in his head without any answers or solutions coming forth.

Meanwhile, Aurora breathed out relief after hanging up the phone without revealing anything suspicious about herself.

To Sion right now, Morgan was just passing through, and once these few days passed by without finding Morgan, he would soon give up, Aurora reckoned.

She picked up her glass for another sip while not knowing what strange feeling crept inside her heart.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Anyway, Morgan and Theodore couldn’t stay in Lower Hopton anymore now. As soon as Sion stopped keeping such a close eye on her, she had to send both of them out of the country.

Due to Morgan’s disappearance, Sion’s recent mood had been so low that even all the employees in the company were trembling with fear, afraid that any mistake would lead to disaster.

“How is the investigation going?”

In the office, Sion’s face was full of coldness. His emotions had been like this for many days now. David replied, “We still haven’t found Morgan’s whereabouts.”

“And her background?” Sion’s brow remained furrowed.

When Morgan first appeared, she was to ruin a wedding. He followed clues from the wedding but couldn’t find anything about her at all. It was as if she appeared out of thin air. There must be something strange going on here.

Sion looked at David as if he needed an answer from him.

“Yes.” Feeling his burning gaze, David almost lowered his eyes to the ground and said cautiously, “Currently we only know that Morgan used to live abroad before. Other information has been deliberately hidden.”

Someone didn’t want him to know her true identity.

If that were true then it was very likely that person could be Morgan’s biological mother.

Who else could her mother be besides Nevaeh? And if Morgan lived abroad before, could her mother be…

Sion was lost in thoughts.
