Stay Around You Now And Forever

“Grandpa!”

Emily suddenly woke up.

She looked at the time. It was twelve in the evening.

Grandpa hadn’t returned yet, neither did Joseph. They were all out.

Wendy and Hunter also disappeared, along with Sasha.

Everyone seemed to have vanished.

After sleeping for two hours, Emily could no longer sleep. She lifted the blanket and got up.

She looked at the phone on the bedside table.

Until now, she had not contacted him, nor had he sent her a single word.

Actually, she knew very well that even if she called him, he might not be willing to speak to her.

After all, all he cared about now was Wendy.

Moreover, no one knew if he and Wendy were plotting anything in private.

However, if she didn’t look for him, she really didn’t know who she could turn to right now!

She took out her phone and landed her gaze on the familiar number. The next minute, she was about to click on it with her slender finger.

But she hesitated again.

After thinking for a while, she called Joseph. She said, “Joseph, how is it now?”

“Nothing new. Don’t worry, Wendy won’t do anything to Grandpa. Our people are still looking for him.”

It was impossible for Emily to not worry about Grandpa.

But now that there was no news from Joseph, her worries would be useless.

She hung up the phone and stared at Hunter’s number.

Not knowing how long had passed, she finally made up her mind and clicked on the number.

Very soon, Hunter picked up the phone, saying “What’s the matter?”

His voice was deep as usual. It sounded that he was still clear-headed, not sleepy at all.

It had past twelve o’clock. Was he still working?
