My Second Husband novel Chapter 788

For the whole afternoon, Eudora felt something disturbing her, and she just could not calm down.

Finally, out of worry, she gave the old folks' home a call.

The nurse confidently stated that Mr. George was in perfect physical and mental health. In fact, they were having a competition, and he was busy dancing.

They told her not to worry.

Only then did Eudora calm down and she felt that she had been overthinking things.

After all, Gordon had left Rosaville City for quite some time. Logically speaking, he would not become someone else's target.

It was only during dinnertime that Eudora received a call from the nursing home.

"Miss George, something terrible has happened! Mr. George has gone missing!"

Eudora almost dropped the spoon in her hands, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that everything was fine when I had called in the afternoon?"

The caretaker was about to cry, "He really had been okay in the afternoon, and he had even been dancing with the others in the dance hall. When I hung up, I saw that his clothes were still there. They said that he had gone to the washroom, so I didn't dwell on it. I still hadn't seen him after tidying up the room and leaving, so I went to the washroom to look for him. I searched high and low, but to no avail.

"Normally, Mr. George would indeed leave the washroom occasionally to loiter around somewhere else. So, I went around to look for him, but I really couldn't find him. I'm so sorry, Miss, I've failed my duty!"

Eudora did not have the mood to care about whose fault the situation was now. The most important thing was to get Gordon back!

"Wait for me at the door. I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Tina hurriedly said, "Eudora, you go ahead. I'll take care of the children for you."

Eudora nodded, and called Charlie to head down the mountain together.

The sky was already dark at that hour. The mountain's path was tough to maneuver, and it took them almost two hours to reach the gates of the nursing home.

The caretaker was already waiting there, sobbing immensely.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I'm so sorry.' "Alright, stop apologizing. Are you sure that you've searched everywhere in the nursing home?"

"Every nook and cranny has been searched! While you were still on the way, I went to search around one more time. The director even looked at the surveillance footage, but to no avail."

Just as they were talking, a security guard ran towards them from behind.

"He went out through the main gate!"

Eudora was stunned, "When?"

"The surveillance footage showed that it was about five o'clock in the afternoon when he got led to the gates by a sparkler!"

A sparkler?

Eudora hurriedly turned around and went into the surveillance room. The monitor showed that Gordon had indeed headed to the washroom. When he had come out, he suddenly saw a balloon shaped like a sparkler in the sky.

He had stood there and watched it for a long time. The balloon slowly flew outside, so he followed it little by little. At the end, he walked out of the gate.

Charlie was a little curious as he asked, "Why did he follow a balloon out?"

Wasn't it all too strange? No normal person would do that, would they?

Upon hearing that, the caretaker's face suddenly turned pale.

"Tr-truth be told..."

"Speak!" Charlie said coldly.

"Actually, Mr. George's Alzheimer's disease has been worsening, and recently, he has been doing some weird things. I had always wanted to inform you about this, but he didn't allow me to. He said that you already had too much on your plate, so he didn't want to worry you."

Charlie frowned, and hurriedly glanced at Eudora.

"Even so, it's still weird! Of all things, why would he follow this balloon out?"

The caretaker was also dumbfounded, "I-1 don't know either."

"I know why..." Eudora suddenly spoke up, her voice choking with sobs.

"Because there was a star on the balloon."

Eudora thought that since Kesha had left, Gordon would already let go of the past.
