Jeffrey had assumed her pain was real, and so he'd prioritized driving her to the hospital over answering his ringing phone.
Upon arrival, he'd shouldered Heather into the cardiology ward.
After all the hustle and bustle, he was drenched in sweat and only remembered his ignored calls when he finally took a seat to rest. He pulled out his phone to see several missed calls from his assistant, followed by a call from Everett.
Since he hadn't picked up, Everett had messaged him.
[I'm on board and heading back to Eldorria City. Get back to me when you see this]
Just as Jeffrey was about to reply to the message, his assistant called him again.
He wondered if there was a problem with the kid.
“Hello? What’s up?”
“Mr. Turner, you asked me to come to the hotel to look after the kid. I’m here, but... there's no kid in this room!”
Jeffrey shot up from his chair.
“What did you say?!”
“There’s no kid in this room. I tried calling you, but you didn’t pick up. I asked the front desk, and they said... they said a man came and took the kid!”
Jeffrey felt a pit in his stomach.
Had he lost Everett’s son?
“Quick, go look for him! Have them check the surveillance video and find out where that man took him! You must find him!”
“I understand, Mr. Turner.”
After hanging up the phone, Jeffrey's hands were shaking.
If he were to tell Everett now that the kid was lost...
He didn’t even dare think about the consequences.
