Chapter 473 Lost
Camille said, "Manager Hayes and I split up to pick up, I don't know
where she went? Had to come back and meet up with you guys first."
Jeremiah's face immediately turned sour as he said, "Miss Armstrong,
you're just going to leave your teammate Manager Hayes behind?
That's too selfish of you!"
Jeremiah felt very upset, and then immediately lifted his feet to go to
the people.
Kian hurriedly said, "Jeremiah, the first order of business is to find
Manager Hayes."
The township chief saw the situation is also immediately erected
serious, the township chief said: "We hurry to find someone, these two
days is the rainy season, at any time it may rain."
The village chief's words made Jeremiah's face look even harder, but
he didn't dare to say anything else, and could only hurry to follow the
village chief's pace in the direction Camille had just returned.
Mr. Reid immediately looked to Camille for reassurance, "Ma'am, you
don't need to take Jeremiah's words to heart."
âI'm fine.â Camille nodded, then also hurriedly said, âLet's go find
someone!â
Kian followed Camille in the direction of the village chief, but the four of
them searched for a long time but did not see Cora.
The township chief pointed around and said, "There aren't any more
footsteps in front of us, I guess Manager Hayes shouldn't have walked
past.â
The township chief's words made the atmosphere tense along with him.
Jeremiah looked to Camille and asked, "Miss Armstrong, just be honest
and tell me where the hell Manager Hayes went. You didn't have a
fight, did you, Manager Hayes was pissed off?"
Camille indifferently Ni glanced at Jeremiah: "Your imagination is rich,
but what I can tell you is sorry you fantasize wrong.â
"You..."
"Mayor, can you help call people up from the village to join us in our
search?" Camille ignored Jeremiah and looked directly at the village
chief and asked.
The township chief nodded: "Yes, I'll go shout at people, but you should
not run around, just look around again, or get lost in trouble.â
"Don't worry, we will leave a mark, just trouble you to make an extra
trip.â
Camille nodded her head.
Kian, however, said, "Miss Armstrong, why don't you go back with the
township chief? I'll just stay here with Jeremiah and look for it."
"No, I'll stay and look with you.â Camille insisted, and finally only the
village chief went back to his residence first to tell Dan and others, and
then to call a few able-bodied villagers to help.
Kian was probably worried that Camille had also lost him, so he
followed Camille and Jeremiah throughout the search separately.
But a large pine forest, many places like the township chief said there
are no footprints at all, but even so they were afraid to miss, so they
went around a long, long way and did not find Cora.
The township chief soon arrived at Pine Grove with nearly ten men to
join Camille and the others, and Dan came along and asked, "Any
news yet?"
Camille shakes her head.
Jeremiah, already sweating from anxiety, said, "Miss Armstrong, if our
wife is missing, you are solely responsible.â
Camille gave him an expressionless look with no intention of
responding.
Although she did not actively leave Cora, but in any case is lost with
her companion, so she is clear that she has an inescapable
responsibility.
But where exactly is Cora?
She sighed silently, the worry on her face as well as the gloomy look
caught by Dan, who spoke indifferently, âNow is not the time to talk
about who has more responsibility and who has less? As far as I know
it was also Manager Hayes who volunteered to play in groups, so it's
important that we find the talent before it gets dark.â
Dan is not only a partner in this project, he is also a member of the
Tucker Group, so his words shut Jeremiah up immediately.
Dan immediately arranged for people to start encircling from the
periphery of the pine forest to the inside, this way will not find a leak.
But nearly two hours of searching, looking through the entire pine forest
also did not have any traces.
It was already about to get dark.
Everyone is also a little tired, coupled with psychological concerns
emotions are tight.
Kian asked out loud at this point, âIs it possible that she has gone
back?"
"How is that possible? If she had gone back she would have tried to get
in touch with us too, right?" Jeremiah felt that this possibility is almost
impossible, Cora is not a child, if it has returned to the residence, then
certainly will seek other help to inform everyone.
Because the sky is getting dark, the township chief proposed: "tired of
looking with me to go back to a new group of people to continue to
look, so that you can also go back to the residence to see if Manager
Hayes has returned?"
Dan also agreed with the village chief, and then the village chief took
Kian and Camille and a few villagers back to the residence first, Dan
and his two assistants and Jeremiah and the remaining two villagers
continued to search in a small area around.
But Camille they just returned to the residence day on the rainstorm,
the rain came suddenly and quickly.
The village chief said to Camille, âMiss Armstrong you go upstairs and
see if Manager Hayes is back yet. I'll gather the villagers to prepare
raincoats to send up the mountain.â
Camille hurried upstairs and knocked on Cora's room door, "Manager
Hayes?"
No response, she then opened the door, the house was empty.
Camille was not sure and searched all the rooms on the entire second
floor, no Cora.
She had a heavy face, it was already dark, in this kind of unfamiliar
place, and it would be in the mountains, and it was raining so hard,
where was Cora anyway?
The village chief soon came with his men, to make sure Cora did not
return and then led the men up the mountain, Kian also set off with
such a piece, before leaving Kian gave Camille a flashlight, he said to
Camille: "Madam, if Manager Hayes returned, you stand at the end of
my room hallway towards the mountain light.
Camille nodded, and then stayed alone in her quarters waiting for the
group to return.
Camille's heart also wanted Cora to come back with them, although
there was not much interaction with her, and it was even better not to
have any contact, but did not want her to have any accident appear.
I wonder how much time has passed?
Outside, the rain was dying down, and Camille could see faint lights on
the hill as she stood in the hallway, lights that were far and near,
signifying that people had not yet been found.
After a long time Jeremiah and Dan came back.
Camille asks, "Any leads?"
âNo, the township chief is still continuing to search with his people and
told us to come back and have something to eat.â
Dan responded.
Jeremiah coldly said: âI have to contact Master Norman, if something
happens to the wife I have no way to take the responsibility, so I must
let Master Norman come over personally.â
After saying that Jeremiah has gone upstairs.
Camille looked at Dan and Kian without changing her face: "You guys
go back to your rooms and change, I just made ginger soup with the
kitchen and I'll have some later before we eat.â
Dan asked with some unease, "Camille, it wasn't your fault, it was just
an accident, so you ..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine because I didn't mean to leave her behind.â So
she wouldn't feel guilty and blame herself, but she would feel less
comfortable inside because she didn't want anything to happen to
Cora, after all, their kind of relationship was a bit awkward.
Hearing her say this Dan then nodded and went upstairs.
Camille looks over at Kian, who remains in place, drenched and with
his hair dripping with water.
Camille asked, "Go change your clothes!"
"Ma'am, Jeremiah's debriefing with Master Norman is sure to
exaggerate things, so should we get on the phone with Master Simpson
as well?"
Kian asked cautiously.
Camille frowned and responded in a light voice, "Go change, I'll make
the call, huh?"
Kian froze, then immediately nodded in response.
When Kian also went upstairs, Camille then took a deep breath and
followed her upstairs to her room.
The search for a large force on the mountain continued, but there were
no results, and it had long been dark, and the rain continued to fall.
It's hard for someone without wilderness survival to stay safe in this
situation.
Camille pursed her lips and dialed the first call she made to Ayan since
she got here.
The call was answered and Ayan asked, somewhat unexpectedly,
"Looking for Timmy?"
"No, I'm looking for you.â Camille's voice was a little warm.
He asked, "Looking for me? What's going on?"
His voice was gentle with a few surprises.
