My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 806
I wanted to get up, but before I could even stand, my legs had already gone limp, and I fell sitting.
"Mrs. Roberts, are you alright?"
I shook my head, gradually realizing that the call was still going on, so I stretched my hand out to grab my phone.
Putting the phone beside my ear, I opened my mouth; my voice suddenly was nowhere to be found.
"Arianna, are you alright?" lan's anxious voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
I opened my mouth and discovered that I couldn't speak at the moment. Fiona had been so shocked that her hands were slightly trembling.
She got me a glass of hot water and looked at me, saying, "Mrs. Roberts, drink some water first, don't panic."
I nodded and took a sip of water. The water was very bitter and unbearable.
It was only after a long while that I managed to find my voice. I spoke into the phone, "lan, what did you say just now?"
I opened my mouth, my voice still a little hoarse.
lan said, "Arianna, listen to me, don't panic for now. I don't know what exactly happened in the Saunders family in Hanlusia City, you may have to go there to check things out in person." "Okay..." I mumbled.
The first thing I instantly thought of was to give Josiah a call.
After hanging up lan's call, I dialled Josiah's number. Nobody picked up for a long time.
It was still the same after a few calls in a row. Out of desperation, I dialed Freya's number instead.
Fortunately, Freya quickly picked up the call. She asked, "Arianna, what's up?"
"Do you know anyone in Hanlusia City? Could you get some people to help get some news on the Saunders family over there?"
She was stunned for a moment, probably from hearing the panic in my voice. With a comforting tone, she said, "Sure, I'll get in touch with some people from my end."
After a pause, she tried probing, "Arianna, what happened?"
"I don't know either. Ian said that Anne had gone missing."
Shocked, she said, "When did this happen? Why haven't we heard any news about this? Doesn't
Anne video call you every night?"
I nodded, tears already welling up in my eyes. I said, "But Hendrix and I came home late yesterday and the night before, so we didn't call her. I was thinking of calling her today, but no one picked up the phone when I called Josiah just now."
Saying this, my voice began to choke.
Freya, who was on the other end of the line, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, try to stay calm for now. Nothing has been confirmed yet; let's call and ask first. I know some people in Hanlusia City. I'll get someone to check it out."
I nodded. Not wanting to waste any time, I booked a flight to Hanlusia City as soon as I hung up the phone. It had been more than ten days since Anne left with Josiah for Hanlusia City.
It was about time for her to return too, so I might as well pick her up from Hanlusia City.
I left the villa and drove speedily to the airport. I saw Hendrix's calls coming in one after another, but I had no intention of picking up.
After arriving at the airport, I got my ticket and boarded the plane. The air stewardess made a reminder for us to turn off our phones and tablets.
I took a look at Hendrix's text message. I can sense the frantic as it said, "Arianna, pick up my call first. I've already gotten people to take care of
the incident with Anne."
I turned off my phone. As the plane took off, a big hole gradually began to appear in my heart.
Some things cannot be cured in a lifetime. Anne was the reason I lived. After being together for so many years, she was already like my own biological child. I had already lost one child; I couldn't afford to lose another.
