Chapter 530 Billowing Smoke
Chapter 530 Billowing Smoke
Everybody was curious but Charles had no time to explain. Instead, he asked Hiram to find Nancy as soon as possible.
Last night, the fire was so fierce that people were in a mess. They were crying and shouting and thick smoke billowed. It was too difficult to see anything clearly.
Therefore, after a whole day of searching, Hiram still couldn't find Nancy.
New speculations about Nancy appeared on the internet. Some said Nancy was already dead and had been burned down to ashes. While the media assumed that Nancy escaped from punishment.
The media and the public had wild guesses about Nancy's sudden disappearance.
Nobody knew if Nancy was still alive or not.
It was Charles who was the most anxious one.
Not knowing where Nancy was made him feel like his heart was on his throat. Doris had called him again and again but he couldn't give an answer.
On the third day, some media began to say that Charles had an affair and that he might take the opportunity to get rid of Nancy and so on.
But Charles had no time to care about these, because his grandfather was in a coma and the family was in a mess. Charles was too tired to care about gossips.
Upon hearing the news, Clark went to the hospital with the help of Fannie and Jill.
At this moment, Clark really felt sorry for Nancy. It was his daughter who suddenly disappeared. Therefore, his eyes were filled with tears and sadness.
As for Fannie and Jill, they only came here for money.
As the biggest investor of the hospital, Charles should at least give Nancy's family an explanation for the death of Nancy.
If Nancy was indeed gone, Charles must make it up to them.
As soon as Jill saw Charles, she said, "Charles, how could you be so cruel? Although Nancy hasn't married you yet, she has been with you for so long. We don't care if you have another woman, but we can't ignore the fact that you have killed Nancy. I may not be her biological mother, but I feel sorry for our poor Nancy. You have to give us an explanation."
"Yes, Charles. My sister is so young and she even gave birth to two children for Fu family. She did make some contribution to your family. How could you be so cruel? She has disappeared, but you can still stay in the hospital. Is it true that you are seeing another woman? Do you dislike my sister and take her as an eyesore, so..."
Before Fannie could finish her words, Charles roared, "Fannie, shut up! Nancy is still alive and I'm looking for her. I don't have any woman. Get out of here!"
His hoarse voice was enough to make Fannie shut up. He knew that someone was setting up Nancy, but he really didn't have any evidence.
Shedding fake tears, Jill asked, "If Nancy dies, how can we live?"
She just didn't want to return empty handed.
"Fuck off!" In the end, Charles couldn't stand it any longer. He thought that the two snobbish women didn't have any concern for Nancy at all. They just wanted to take advantage of the situation. They even took pleasure in Nancy's misfortune.
Ignoring what the two women had said, Clark grabbed Charles' hand and pleaded, "Charles, please help me find my daughter. Nancy's mother doesn't know the truth yet. If she knows it, she will not be able to bear it. She is in poor health. This is a big blow to her. You know what could happen."
Nodding his head, Charles replied, "I know, uncle. Please don't let Nancy's mother know about it. I will find Nancy as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you." Tears kept falling down from Clark's eyes as he thought of his daughter.
Then Clark wiped away his tears as he urged, "Let's go. Let's leave Charles alone."
Right now, Charles' face darkened, as if he was going to kill someone.
So Jill and Fannie didn't dare to provoke him more.
They pushed Clark away, looking disappointed.
With a frown, Charles began to think again. But he still couldn't figure out how she disappeared out of thin air. Where could Nancy be taken?
Soon, Charles drove to the kindergarten to pick up Bobby and Nadia. Their faces looked even worse than his.
When the two kids heard that their parents were finally going to marry, they were very happy and showed off in front of other children.
But recently, the two kids hadn't been complacent. Their mother's disappearance and the news shocked them.
At this moment, they looked like two defeated soldiers.
Still worried about Nancy, Charles kept quiet and didn't talk to the kids.
They were all stuffy all the way.
When they got home, the two children looked at the dark yard and became more silent.
They got out of the car listlessly and kept their heads low as they walked into the villa.
The three of them felt dejected. Without Nancy, there would be no home. Looking at the quiet yard, Charles couldn't help but sigh.
Trying her best to hold back her tears, Nadia asked, "Daddy, where is Mommy?"
"Yes, Daddy, where is Mommy?" There were no tears in Bobby's eyes, but his voice almost broke.
For a moment, Charles went silent. Then he replied in a hoarse voice, "Your Mommy will be back soon."
"When will it be?" Bobby asked again.
His heart ached with Bobby's question, because he didn't know the answer himself.
How he wished he could see Nancy right now, but where was Nancy?
Who could tell him where Nancy was?
"Tomorrow..." There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
With tears in her big dough eyes, Nadia asked, "What if we can't see Mommy tomorrow?"
Feeling heartbroken, Charles picked her up. "Nadia, I'm going to find Mommy. You must be obedient. Now let's have dinner and have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, Mommy may be here."
"Daddy..." Nadia couldn't help but sob, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Charles came to the living room with Nadia in his arms and put her down on the sofa. Then he went into the kitchen and prepared dinner for the children.
In order to give the children confidence, he tried his best to eat, but the two children were so preoccupied that they didn't eat much.
The night was destined to be tough to get through.
After dinner, two kids took a shower and went back to their rooms.
When he was alone, Charles called Jay. "How's it going? Is there any news?"
Just like Charles, Jay hadn't had a good rest these days. He looked dispirited and tired.
"That night, after the fire, many cars went in and out of the hospital, and the family members of the patient fled. It was too chaotic to tell who sneaked in. It was hard to tell which one was suspicious. The person who did it must have planned it for a long time," said Jay with a sigh.
