My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 619

Chuck followed Betty's lead to the clues that other people had found. They looked to the footprints left by the person who had rescued Willa.

Chuck was a little disappointed by the slow development of things. Traces like these were not much help, but at least it was better than nothing.

Betty immediately went ahead to take a closer look with Chuck, Yvette and Black Rose. Half an hour later, they moved on to the next place.

Just like that, three days had passed.

They managed to find traces of clues here and there, but none helped to determine who it was that took Willa away. When the DNA results came back from the cigarette butt, they were inconclusive.

This could only mean that this person's data was not in the public database. Hence, they could not precisely determine who it was.

Chuck was getting more and more anxious with each passing day. He kept having nightmares about Willa's vacant, helpless stare that looked right through him.

Just who on earth took her?

She seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth just like that. There was no trace of her anywhere.

Chuck was spiraling into the same sort of despair like he did last time when Yvette had been captured.

He was blaming himself for not being able to save Willa. He hadn't slept for a few days now and was exhausted beyond all comprehension. Dragging his tired body through the forest, he still persisted in searching for clues, hoping to find something that would help them locate Willa.

However, their attempts had been unfruitful to say the least. They could not find anything that could help. The disappointment Chuck felt each time when the clues they've found led to a dead-end frustrated him. The situation looked bleak.

Yvette was worried about him as well. She managed to convince Chuck to take a short break a little later and proceeded to guide him back to their base. Meanwhile, Betty went out to continue their search.

These few days, Chuck had lost some weight and looked like he was on the verge of collapse. Therefore, Yvette had forced him to rest before he actually did. If he went on with no sleep any longer, he would not be able to help Willa in such a worn.out condition.

Once Chuck fell asleep, Yvette slinked away to allow him some private rest. However, she met Karen a few moments later. She immediately ducked her head in submission.

"How is Chucky?" Karen asked her.

"He's exhausted. He just fell asleep."

Karen sighed once more in frustration. She was in a dilemma. A few days ago, she had asked Chadrick about Chuck's situation but he provided no concrete answer for her to continue asking. His answer did not reveal anything to her.

It made Karen doubt her own judgment. However, Karen's intuition told her that Chadrick must've known much more than he had let on.

He just hadn't revealed it to her yet.

Karen did not know what to do.

"You should go rest as well," Karen said.

"Alright, Auntie... By the way, what happened to Uncle?" Yvette asked with little hesitance. She knew that Chuck's father had returned.

However, they had been interrupted by such a large accident for the past few days, so Chuck had missed his chance to see him.

"He had something else to attend to ... " Karen sighed.

"Auntie, are you alright? You seem really troubled," Yvette felt that Karen was worried about something.

Karen had been sighing a lot recently and looked as if something troubling was constantly on her mind. Something must've happened that made her like this. It could even be related to Chuck as well.

"It's nothing. By the way, you and Chucky will have to go somewhere else tomorrow," Karen said.

For Chuck's head wound to completely heal, he would need to undergo a short treatment which the doctor had already worked out. The doctor had decided to treat him with acupuncture and some traditional herbs.

Of course, Karen couldn't wait. However, this traditional method was really rare, especially the special herbs that it required. Coincidentally, there was an auction in the United States that would be auctioning those particular herbs. Therefore, she wanted Chuck to go buy them from there.

This was also to give Chuck some time to relax.

She could not let Chuck wander around here in such despair any longer. It wasn't good for him, and so she decided to do this.

After listening to Karen's plan, Yvette agreed rather enthusiastically, "Alright, I'll take him there tomorrow."

"These herbs are really precious. Remember that no matter how much they cost, we have to get them. It'll be able to heal Chuck's brain injury more completely," Karen continued. She didn't want Chuck's memory to be compromised in any way.

"Okay, I got it."

"Right then, you should go to sleep."

Yvette nodded and promptly went into a room.
