A servant stepped in, respectfully saying, "Mr. Blanchet is here!"
Patricia, feeling lost due to Baber's disappearance, was sobbing in Balfour Howard's arms. Hearing that Mr. Blanchet had arrived, she summoned some strength and sat upright, looking towards the main door.
The tall and lean figure of Theo made its way into the living room.
Unfortunately, he didn't come alone. He was gently holding the hand of Ellinor, who was right by his side.
Patricia's uplifted spirits were instantly crushed. Her face turned gloomy, her fists clenched tight, and her crying grew louder.
Seeing Theo walk in with Ellinor, Balfour, who felt sorry for his sister, frowned in displeasure.
At this time, Theo even brought Ellinor. Did he think Patricia wasn't stressed enough?!
Theo walked up to them with Ellinor, looking serious, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Has Baber been found?"
Patricia wiped her tears as she sobbed, "Theo, you're here! Baber is still missing..."
Theo's expression turned stern, "How did he suddenly disappear?"
Choking on her words, Patricia explained, "I put Baber to bed, and when I saw him fall asleep, I went to the bathroom. When I returned, he was gone! I've searched everywhere, but I can't find him..."
Theo squinted his eyes, "What about the home security cameras?"
