After Adina talked about recruitment with Ethan, she attempted to drink some coffee.
Her phone suddenly vibrated on the table.
She cast a glance. It was from Ms. Jones.
It had been some time since the kids went to preschool, but Ms. Jones had never contacted her during school hours.
Adina put down her glass and answered the call, “Hello, Ms. Jones.”
“Mdm. Daugherty, something happened.” Ava’s voice trembled. “Melody’s missing.”
“What did you say?”
Adina instantly raised her voice.
She found a quieter place, tried her best to stay calm, and said, “Miss Jones, what happened? Please speak slowly.”
“Alden and Melody went missing during the morning exercise time today. I checked the surveillance camera at 8.40 am, Melody left the preschool alone. Ten minutes later, Alden also sneaked out of school to look for his sister.”
Adina’s heart was hung up. “Do you mean Mel went missing for two hours?”
She held the phone tightly, grabbed her car key, and walked outside.
“Madam Daugherty, Alden did not allow us to inform you. He said he will find Melody. But two hours have passed, and he still hasn’t found Melody. So we have to contact you…” Ava’s voice was full of self-condemned. “I’m sorry, Madam Daugherty. It’s our responsibility. The headmaster has already called the police.”
“I got it.”
Adina just hung up and called Alden.
At this time, Alden was standing by the street where people came and left. His eyes were lost and helpless.
He had been looking for Melody along the street for two hours, but he had found nothing.
He had lost his sister.
Buzz…
His smart watch vibrated.
He took a look, and it was his mom.
He pursed his pale lips and picked up the call. “Mom, Mel’s gone.”
