It was already 8 in the evening but Crystal and the others still didn’t find Christina.They were very anxious.

"Where do you think she can go?" Betty looked worriedly at the dark sky outside while holding her cell phone in hand.She had been trying to call Christina, whose phone was, however, turned off.

Crystal and the others searched the neighborhood twice as well as every corner of the community garden.The result was still disappointing.

In the end, they went back to the apartment.

Thanks to those strong and tall men Derek had asked Larry to send here to help, Mrs.Zhu was scared away.

"I'm sorry.My mother has gone too far"

Crystal looked ashamed while she was sitting on the sofa, holding her phone anxiously.Betty did not say anything more about Mrs.Zhu.Both of them were sitting on the sofa in the small living room under the light, anxious and uneasy.They didn't even where to look for Christina.

Betty glanced at the clock on the wall, sighing.

"Christina is never a crybaby like other girls even when she was a child and sometimes even despises some boys for being useless.She isn't a particularly strong girl, but once she meets something unlucky, instead of crying about it in front of everyone, she will just hide and try to make it through by herself"

Thinking of this, Betty calmed down and comforted Crystal, "She probably just needs some time alone.Don't worry too much.It's already past dinner time.I'll go to the kitchen to cook some noodles."

Staring at Betty's back as she walked towards the kitchen, Crystal was still worried, Although what Betty said about Christina's temper was true, neither of them had an appetite at this time.

Under normal circumstances, Crystal wouldn't worry about Christina no matter how long she hid alone.

But now, concerning all the terrible things that had happened recently, she was really worried that Christina would hurt herself or make rash decisions that she would probably regret in the future.

"Betty, how about we going out and looking for her again..."

Crystal stood up, grabbed the car keys, and was about to walk towards the door.

Just then, the door was opened from the outside.

A familiar figure came in.

Upon seeing him, Crystal rushed forward and grabbed his arm excitedly.

"Derek, any news about Christina?"

Derek, who was not used to physical contact, withdrew his hand and replied calmly, "No"

Betty also ran over from the kitchen when she heard the door opening, whose face turned back into gloom as she heard Derek's answer.

With so many people Derek had sent to look for her, Christina was still nowhere to be seen.Where else could she go? 

"Derek, did you follow the route consisted of nearby surveillance cameras? She must have walked out of the community first and would definitely pass supermarkets and banks nearby.The surveillance cameras there would record her as long as she passed by.How could she not be found?"

Crystal taught him how to track her in an urgent voice.

Derek didn't reply and just walked into the apartment.

"Derek, is that you don't have enough friends to help here in A City? Maybe we should ask Chandler to help us..."
