“Lilia, Lilia, Lilian, Lilian…” Joanna shouted in panic.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

Kody panicked and said anxiously, “Miss Haynes, don’t be anxious. I’ll call Lilian now.”

As he spoke, Kody quickly took out his phone and called Lilian.

Beep, beep, beep!

The phone rang for a long time until an automated voice sounded. “Hello, the number you have dialed is not available. Please try again later…”

He called three times in a row, but no one answered.

Joanna’s face turned pale as she asked anxiously, “How is it? Did you get through?”

“Lilian’s call hasn’t been answered!”

The first rule to follow when working in the Everett family was that the phone had to be turned on 24 hours a day.

Moreover, Lilian had worked with the Everett family for seven to eight years. She was a senior nutritionist and a childcare teacher, earning a high salary and a senior position. It was impossible for her not to answer the phone on a working day.

“Oh no, something might have happened.”

“Hurry to the security room and check the surveillance footage. See if Lilian left the hospital with Miss Lilia.”

“You guys, go look over there again.”

“Okay, got it.”

Joanna held her breath and almost lost her balance.

She had been too careless!

She knew that someone had always wanted her dead, so she shouldn’t have let her guard down.

Although she had brought bodyguards with her this time, not many people were allowed to enter the sanatorium’s ward. Therefore, the bodyguards could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.

If anything happened to Lilia, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

“Lilia, Lilia, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”

“Miss Haynes, this is not the time to be sad. Finding Miss Lilia is the priority now.”

“Let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Lilia has been taken out of the hospital.”

“Okay.”

Soon.

The

group of them arrived at the surveillance room.

“Miss Lilia is missing. Hurry up and pull out all the surveillance cameras!”

The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off when a few burly men barged in. He was so frightened

that he did not dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance cameras.

Kody moved the mouse to check the location of Lilian.

“Here, here. it’s Lilian.”

In the surveillance footage, Lilian carried Lilia out of the ward.

Then, she walked out of the corridor. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the fire escape, a man wearing a mask and a cap suddenly rushed out.

The masked man wrapped his arm around Lilian’s neck and dragged her into the fire escape.

With a scream, the surveillance footage returned to normal.

After everyone saw that scene, their hearts tightened. “Hurry up and check the fire escape.”

“Quick, quick, quick!”

The two bodyguards left the surveillance room and immediately ran towards the fire escape.

Joanna snapped back to reality and took a sharp breath, feeling a chilling sensation that seemed to freeze her whole body.
