Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 861

Just as Thalia was about to leave, she hurriedly turned back upon hearing Denise's voice, revealing, “Magus called and said that Lina has gone missing. I suspect it has something to do with that Lindon guy. Let's go check it out now.”

That had Denise instantly all perked up.

“Tell Anthony that I'm going ahead. We'll meet up at the hospital later!” added Thalia.

Denise regained her composure and nodded. “All right, I got it!”

Thalia then set off without saying anything further.

The second she walked out, Denise's visage turned grim. She first went to Anthony's room to inform him, only to find that the door had been locked from within. She knocked on the door for quite a while.

The door finally opened, revealing Anthony's annoyed mien. His pale little face scrunched up in displeasure. “What do you want from me early in the morning?”

Denise looked the boy in the eye and uttered, “Thalia just received a call from Magus, saying that Lina has gone missing. She's already on her way to the hospital, and she asked me to inform you.”

As the news reached Anthony's ears, it was as though he was still in a dream. All he did was bob his head lazily. Be that as it might, a fleeting moment later, he suddenly became clear-headed. “What did you say?” he asked as he gaped at Denise.

The girl took a deep breath and said, “Lina's in trouble! Thalia has already rushed over, so let's pack up and join her!”

It was then that Anthony totally came around and agreed, “Right! Let's pack our things and leave straight away!”

“Yes!” Denise nodded.

“Go wake Benjamin and Miguel up!”

Even though girls would take more time to pack, Denise wasted no time and went to knock on their doors.

Ten minutes later, they hit the road.

Miguel was the one who took the wheel.

In the back seat, Anthony dialed Thalia's number. However, even after several attempts, there was still no answer.

Anthony knitted his brows into an uneasy knot.

“What's wrong?” questioned Benjamin.

“Miguel, bring me the computer,” Anthony piped up.

Miguel immediately grabbed the laptop from the passenger seat and passed it to him.

“Benjamin, continue to call Thalia for me,” ordered Anthony while turning on the computer.

Benjamin inclined his head a fraction and took out his phone to continue calling Thalia.

At that moment, Denise was watching from the sidelines as Anthony began to track Thalia's location. Nevertheless, a few minutes later, Anthony furrowed his brows in frustration.

“What happened?” came Denise's question.

“The location of Thalia's phone shows that she's at the hospital,” cooed Anthony.

A pucker formed between Denise's brows when she heard that statement. “Thalia told me before she left that we should all rendezvous at the hospital.” I don't see any issue with her being at the hospital.

Anthony did not even look up for a split second. His fingers continued to hit the keyboard ever so rapidly. “But the problem is, her phone's location has remained the same, without even the slightest change.”

Speaking of which, Denise, for one, was taken aback. “Could it be that Thalia's not moving at all?”

The girl's speculation only served to draw Anthony's attention. “Do you think that's possible?”

Denise had not the gall to consider the worst-case scenarios. Yet, it was not that her choice mattered, anyway. “Generally, if there's no movement coming from a phone, there'll be two possibilities—either the phone's lost or the phone owner is...”

Benjamin put away his phone and chimed in, “Given Thalia's skills, the latter seems unlikely.” As he spoke, he eyed the duo and went on, “No one answered the phone.”

Both of them actually agreed with Benjamin's opinion.

“Let me take another look,” were Anthony's words.

At that very juncture, Denise parted her lips and voiced, “Say, could Magus possibly be conspiring with that person against Thalia?”

As soon as she dropped her point of view, both Anthony and Benjamin directed their line of sight at her.

“What's the matter? I was simply making a wild guess...”

“What makes you think so, though?”
