“Thank you!” Stanley suppressed his inner excitement as he gripped the mouse.
“You two are so good together, Mr. Fox. How did you end up fighting? You two were so obviously deeply in love with each other, in your eyes and hearts. You should be more understanding of each other and be more tolerant. Your wife loves you very much!” The shop owner couldn’t bear seeing couples separate.
Stanley held the mouse, capturing the figure that would surely appear on the surveillance. “Do you still remember what time you met her?”
“About 9.00PM last night, not later than 9.30PM.
“Alright, thank you.” He operated the program himself, increasing the playback speed, his brow furrowed lightly, his heart hanging in suspense as he stared intently at the surveillance footage.
He must find her!
“I gave your wife a photo album yesterday, Mr. Fox, and she took a picture with me,” the shop owner said, taking out her phone.
He pressed pause, took a gander at the photo, and immediately saw the sadness in Melinda’s eyes,
She looks worn out and thin! How can this happen? That can’t happen! I will not allow it!
Despite seeing a sliver of hope, Stanley was still impatient, fearing that he would be a second too late to find her.
As he searched for her figure in the surveillance, he dialed his subordinate’s number on his phone. “I have a lead. I need you to allocate resources to focus on checking the surveillance along the route. I’m at the photo studio. I’ll send you the location immediately.”
Twenty minutes had passed, but Stanley still hadn’t seen her figure. His heart twinged. Only the heavens knew just how afraid he was of losing her.
The shop owner had been by his side the whole time, observing this tall, handsome man who exuded. impeccable elegance from his buttons to his necktie.
Any woman of any age would be uncontrollably infatuated with him.
Suddenly, he pressed the pause button!
Joy overcame Stanley as he stared at the person appearing in the surveillance.
It was his Melinda!
She left the photo studio at exactly 9.30PM and hailed a cab, which drove onovelxo.com fast updateff to the left.
The license plate was too far to be seen clearly, but he could make out the car model.
The next step was to investigate all the cabs in Navelie. “Thank you!” Stanley quickly left while making the phone call.
He needed to find out which cabs passed through that area and check their travel records to determine where she got off.
With a call to delegate the task, he returned to his hotel room and waited for news after a long day,
After completing his intravenous injection, he sat on the couch by the floor-to-ceiling window, turned off the main light, and dimmed the room.
He casually opened a bottle of whiskey, drinking and waiting for news while thinking about her..
Until now, his step count was 20,520 steps.
He stared at the screen, lost in thought for a while.. his longing for Melinda increased further.
Hopefully, she hadn’t left Navelie yet.
Stanley couldn’t close his eyes at all that night, waiting with his phone firmly in his hand. It had been many days since he had a solid sleep.
At midnight, he finished an entire bottle of liquor.
At 2.00AM, he lay in bed, clutching his phone, waiting for news, between wakefulness and sleep.
At 4.00AM, he woke up from a dream without her, feeling even breathing was painful.
At 6.00AM. his phone rang.
The ringtone startled him from his light sleep, and he answered immediately, “Speak!”
“We found her, Mr. Fox!” his subordinate reported excitedly. “Mrs. Fox checked into Paradise Bay Hotel in the Financial District, but there’s no check-in record. It has been deliberately erased.”
“Is she still there?”
This was the most exhilarating news Stanley had heard. “Good, I got it!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
He threw off the covers, got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and quickly prepared himself to head to Paradise Bay Hotel in the Financial District.
In the backseat of the black Maybach, he knew the car was already at its fastest speed, but he still hoped it could go even faster!
This time, he would question her thoroughly after he found her. Why did she foolishly leave without saying a word? What was it that they couldn’t face together?
Then he would hold her tightly in his arms, telling her firmly that she could never leave him again!
