Chapter 1196

Betty was really missing!

Diana fell into panic, and started sweating profusely. She immediately rushed out of the hospital room to have people in the corridor search the building while she went to check the surveillance cameras.

“Sean, stay in the room, okay?”

Diana dared not let the child wander around again.

Otherwise, they would not find Betty, and Sean might also get lost.

At that moment, Diana was consumed by guilt.

Why didn’t she watch over her child properly?

When Julian left, the thing he worried about the most was her and the children.

And now, shortly after he left, she had lost the Betty!

Tears welled up in Diana’s eyes, and her face was covered in sweat. She clutched her stomach anxiously, and arranged for everyone to search for the missing child.

It was Sean who reached out and touched her hand, saying,” Mommy, don’t worry.”

He wanted Diana to calm down and not hurt herself.

He had heard the nurse say that Diana was pregnant now, and it was easy for something to go wrong if she wasn’t careful.

He didn’t want to see his mommy bleeding again. That was a bit scary.

Concern flashed in his eyes as he said, “Betty’s missing. I can’t just sit here alone and do nothing.”

The siblings had a strong bond. Now that Betty was missing, he also wanted to go out and help find her.

Of course, Diana refused. “You have to listen to Mommy. Wait here for us. I’ll rest easy knowing you’re here while I look for your sister.”

Sean could see how worried Diana was.

And since she wouldn’t allow him to go out and search for Betty with her, he had to compromise.

He obediently sat on the sofa and said, “I’ll wait here for you to bring Betty back.

Mommy, please take care of yourself.”

Why did people say that sons were a handful?

Clearly, they could be so heartwarming.

This warmth helped alleviate her anxiety somewhat.

If Sean was so caring, Betty wouldn’t be any different.

Diana had instructed Betty not to wander around. Even if Betty had left the hospital room unnoticed by the bodyguards, she wouldn’t have gone too far.

Diana left the hospital room, and headed straight for the surveillance footage.

What surprised her was that the surveillance footage showed the hospital corridor very clearly, yet there was no trace of Betty anywhere.

Betty…

Had she really never left the hospital room?

But if she hadn’t left the room, then where was she?!

Ever since Diana left, Sean had been sitting quietly on the sofa. He understood what Diana meant. Right now, not causing any trouble and staying put was the best way to help the adults.

However, he couldn’t sit still any longer. There were continuous noises coming from inside the hospital suite.

“Betty?” Sean called out happily, getting up and walking towards the inner room.

“Where are you hiding? Mommy and the others…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence, for he was left speechless.

His little sister was now being carried on the shoulder of a rugged-looking man dressed in a janitor’s uniform.

Her little face was pale, and her head hung downward.

She was clearly unconscious.

Betty had never left the room!

Sean didn’t have time to dwell on the details; he immediately turned to shout outside, attempting to alert Diana and the others.

Before he could make a sound, he heard the man speak, “If you dare to shout, I’ll end your sister’s life.”

If this had been the Sean from before he came to Stirling City, he might have been frightened to tears by this situation.

But over the past year, he had experienced so many terrifying situations firsthand. He was no longer the child who would panic in the face of scum like Zachary Winnington.

He was over three years old now, and he had told Diana that he had grown up.

Now that she wasn’t here, he had an obligation to rescue his sister.

He absolutely couldn’t let her come to harm.

So, Sean obediently closed his mouth. The next moment, he looked at the man with big, shimmering eyes, and said in a barely audible voice, “Mister.”

His voice was exceptionally soft, and it didn’t seem like he would scream.

The man wore a wicked smile; children were so easily frightened.

Just like this little girl! In fact, he had come in while Diana was in the restroom.

He had dressed in a white coat, and whispered to her, “Don’t scream or yell!

Otherwise, I’ll give you a shot.”
