Let Me Stay The Night

Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Christina and said softly. “Perhaps they left the manor because they were being playful. I’m sure nothing will happen to them. Let’s go check the surveillance footage.”

Christina forced herself to stay calm. Perhaps they really were being playful. The most important thing right now is to look for them. If I keep panicking. I can’t concentrate, and it’ll be more challenging for us to find them,

After leaving the gates of the manor. Nathaniel took off his suit jacket and placed them around Christina’s shoulders. “Don’t catch a cold.”

The deep voice ringing in her ears snapped her out of her daze. She nodded and got into the car.

They hurried to the police station. After thoroughly explaining the situation, the police brought them to check the surveillance footage.

Fortunately, surveillance cameras were placed everywhere on the street past the manor. The police adjusted the time to when the children left the manor, and two small figures appeared on the screen before them.

Even though it was late at night and no people were around, Lucas and Camila obediently followed traffic rules and walked on the right side of the road. They traveled from the gates of Scenic Garden Manor to the bus stop before heading north.

Christina felt her heart clench as she stared at the two figures on the screen. Nathaniel grabbed her cold hand and assured her. “Don’t worry.”

At that moment, words of assurance to Christina did not have much effect, but at least they could calm her down.

The two children on the screen understood traffic rules well. Even if there weren’t any cars, they waited. for the light to turn green before they crossed the road.

There were no dangers along the way, but the children seemed to have stopped beside the road at some point.

They watched as Camila sat on the floor and stared up at Lucas cutely.

The surveillance camera was too far away, so it could not catch the children’s words.

After the children drank some water, Lucas had Camila climb onto his back before they continued their journey.
