255 Ella Disappeared
“It’s been a long time since I last lived here.”
“It’s been a long time?” The taxi driver repeated the words that Ella had said. His body was shaking violently after he heard her saying that.
As her bad premonition got bigger and bigger, Ella said, “Yeah, I used to live here.”
The sound of the hard brake echoed right after. The taxi driver felt cold sweat running down his body. He was really unlucky to take this crazy person today!
Ella chuckled. “Forget it. Drop me here.”
Ella opened the car’s door gracefully and looked at the taxi driver once again. “Remember, don’t go out for five days after you come home today. You know that crazy people can kill other people easily. It’s not something new.”
After Ella finished saying that, she came out of the door and closed it with a pretty loud slam.
Actually, she didn’t mean to scare the taxi driver. But if she didn’t do it, Christian could have found the taxi driver and might find a clue where Ella was. If that happened, Ella would be in big trouble.
Maybe she could escape once, but not twice.
.....
Seeing the taxi driver leaving so quickly as if he had just lost his soul, Ella felt a little anxious. Looks like she scared the driver too much.
There won’t be any accidents, right?
Ella shook her head and tried to put her thoughts aside. She walked to a small hotel next to the mental hospital.
She wasn’t feeling that great, but it was pretty admirable for her to dare to go back into the mental hospital. To spend five years being a lunatic is not a trivial matter.
...
Meanwhile, after the fire that broke out in the backyard was finally extinguished, the butler finally found Nathan lying unconscious.
There was dust and dirt on his face, making everyone there feel depressed.
“Quick call the Master,” the butler said nervously. Sweat trickled down his wrinkled face.
The new maids became more and more scared. They were trying to contact Christian.
Today, Christian felt so restless when he was in the company. For some reason, he had a hunch that something bad was going to happen today.
His guess was right when a maid from home called him. He rushed home and left all his work.
Although he didn’t really show it on the surface, Christian really loved his son. He looked cold and indifferent, but he had to admit that because of Nathan, his life had become more colorful over the past five years.
When Christian arrived home, the family’s doctor was checking Nathan’s condition.
Nathan’s face looked a little pale. His face was sullen and wrinkled, showing that he was in a very bad mood.
“Father...” he mumbled in a low voice.
His son’s voice made Christian feel a sharp pain in his heart. He gripped his son’s chubby hand tightly.
In the five years of his life, Nathan had never experienced such danger. Christian always tried to take very good care of his son so that his son never got into any harm.
Today was a big disaster for him.
The doctor who examined him said, “There is nothing serious. Young master just needs a lot of rest. There’s no need to worry, sir.”
The butler who had been looking after Nathan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing that his son is fine, Christian finally calms down. His gaze swept around him. All the maids were there, but only one person was missing.
His expression darkened in an instant.
“Where’s Ella?”
It was strange that Ella had not accompanied Nathan after such a big disaster.
The butler rushed to answer Christian’s question. “Miss Ella is still in her room.”
“Send her here,” Christian said seriously.
A maid went straight to the main room to call for Ella.
She knocked once, twice, waiting for Ella’s answer. Unfortunately, there was no answer from within. She knocked harder, but still no answer.
The maid frowned and decided to open the door. As soon as she entered the room, she found the room empty, without any signs of Ella’s presence.
All the servants in this house knew how Christian and Ella’s relationship was. When she found out that Ella was not in the room, the maid immediately panicked.
“Miss Ella? Miss Ella?” She called Ella twice, but there was no answer. The maid ran to Nathan’s room, hoping that Ella would be there.
After she wasn’t , he screamed frantically. “Master, Miss Ella is missing.”
Christian was silent for a full minute. After that, he looked at the maid who informed him that Ella had disappeared. He asked again, “What did you say?”
What just happened? Ella disappeared?
The woman he was with all night...
The woman in his arms this morning... disappeared?
This didn’t make sense.
“I... Miss Ella disappeared,” the maid repeated her words with a trembling body.
“How did she just disappear?” Christian’s face instantly darkened. “Quickly search!”
All the servants in the house, along with the guards immediately spread out in all directions. It seemed, today was full of quests. Previously they were looking for the Young Master who disappeared in the fire. Now, they must find Ella who suddenly disappeared as if she was swallowed by earth.
The butler who was beside Nathan couldn’t help but stare.
‘Miss Ella left this house?’
He knew very well how the relationship between Ella and Nathan was.
Ella had treated Nathan like her own son. When the fire broke out, considering the close relationship between the two, Ella didn’t come out of the room to look for Nathan at all.
Now, Ella suddenly disappeared. The butler was worried that Ella had been gone a long time, especially when they were caught off guard.
Everything seemed to be interconnected... making the butler feel that everything that happened today was intentional.
Ella didn’t escape alone, but with help from Nathan...
“Butler,” Christian’s deep voice rang in his ears. “Where did Ella go?”
Christian tried to control his emotions. He kept saying that Ella was only gone for a while and would be back soon. He said it over and over again as if to comfort himself.
“I’m so sorry, sir. I don’t know where she’d gone.” The butler glanced at Christian, looking a little scared. Then he said, “Young Master’s condition has improved. Let me accompany him. How about you look for Miss Ella?”
He could see Christian’s nervousness. He knew that Christian wanted to go and find Ella, but was also worried about his son.
After the butler said so, Christian got to his feet without hesitation and walked towards the main room.
He looked at the ring and necklace Ella had placed on the table. The ring and necklace were clear evidence that he had lost Ella. He was completely shocked and couldn’t believe it.
When he saw the message left by Ella, he was really angry.
Ella’s handwriting was very neat and slick, scribbled without the slightest hesitation.
Christian gripped the paper tightly and was reminded of his promise. If he couldn’t find Ella in one day, he would lose Ella forever.
