Chapter 198 They Finally Connected On The Phone

“Nicholas, where are you going?”

“Your wounds haven’t healed yet, Nicholas. Slow down.” Madelline hurriedly followed him in her wheelchair.

On the other side, Nancy was extremely worried. She had called five times, but there was no answer. She sadly put down her phone, her face filled with concern and disappointment.

Seeing Nancy’s expression, Linda understood everything. “Still no answer?”

Nancy nodded, feeling even more discouraged. She didn’t know what to do.

“Linda, it’s been two days. No one is answering the calls, and there has been no response to my texts or messages. Do you think something has happened to him?”

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Nancy became even more frantic. Her anxiety was escalating, and she couldn’t calm down.

“He has always been responsible and diligent in his work. But disappearing like this without a word for so long… It’s unlike him,” Linda remarked.

“Have you tried contacting anyone else who is close to him? Or has Nicholas contacted someone else?” she suggested.

“I tried reaching out to Lynn, but she said she couldn’t get in touch either. As for Mom and Dad, I’m even more afraid to ask. If, by any chance, something did happen to him, I’m afraid they won’t be able to handle it. The situation will only get worse,” Nancy explained.

She added, “No, Linda, I can’t just sit here and wait any longer. I’m going abroad. I have to find him.”

Nancy stood up, ready to start packing for her trip.

Linda placed her hand on Nancy’s shoulder, trying to calm her down. “Alright, Nancy, don’t rush. Being anxious won’t solve anything. Let’s go over it again. When was the last time you couldn’t reach Nicholas? Were there any strange signs at that time?”

Nancy thought hard and then answered, “It was two days ago in the afternoon. He knew about Julian bothering me, so he video-called me to comfort me. We had a good conversation, and then I took a nap. When I woke up, I couldn’t reach him anymore.”
