Chapter 245
"What's wrong?" A bad feeling welled up in Franklin's heart and he immediately asked Jason.
Emily's face was also pale from nervousness. She clenched her hands tightly to prevent herself from
fainting. She wanted to ask, but she felt like her mouth was stuck.
Jason swallowed and said with a sour face, "Captain Millers just called and said...Hunter was found,
but...But he was already dead when they found him."
"What?!" Even Franklin looked shocked.
Emily felt her eyes dulled and she almost blacked out. After a while, she asked in a trembling voice,
"Then... What about my son? How's my son now?"
She was really fearful that she would hear bad news.
Her heart seemed to be hung on a cliff, and Jason's words could make it fall into the abyss or onto the
ground safely.
"Captain Millers said only Hunter's body was there. He drowned. They didn't know where the young
master was. They searched the house but didn't find the young master. Hunter must have fallen into
the pond when he went after the young master."
"What about Bryce? Did Bryce fall in?" As soon as Emily heard that Hunter fell into the pond, she felt
more fearful.
Jason shook his head, "I don't know yet. Captain Millers is retrieving the corpse and asked us to hurry
over."
"Franklin, what should we do? If something bad happened to Bryce, if Bryce..." Emily was too fearful to
say those words completely.
Franklin put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes deep, and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
After saying that, he helped her out with his arms around her shoulders. They took Jason's car to go
there.
It was only when they arrived at that place that they realized they were in the suburbs. And the house
belonged to a farmer and was rented by Hunter. There were a lot of people renting houses in that
place, so the policemen did not search this place at first. They thought Hunter would hide in the
downtown area.
If the landlord hadn't called the police, Captain Millers wouldn't have come here so soon.
The landlord said he found Hunter brought a little boy of three or four years old with him and that the
boy kept crying and howling. He was suspicious and secretly called the police, so Captain Millers had
rushed over.
When Captain Millers and the policemen came, they found that there was no one in the house. There
was only a shabby bed with one quilt on it. There were also some snacks for the child. Although they
were opened, no one had eaten them.
Captain Millers thought that Hunter had been alerted and had run away. When the police officers were
about to chase after him they heard someone saying that there seemed to be a person in the pond
ahead.
So Captain Millers called for someone to get the body out, and found it was Hunter in surprise. But
Bryce was nowhere to be found. The police had asked the people around and they all said they hadn't
seen the child. Captain Millers suspected that Bryce also fell into the pond, so he called Jason and told
him.
After Jason drove Franklin and Emily there, the police had been retrieving the body for a while.
Besides, Bryce was small, so if he had really fallen into the water and sank, it was not easy to salvage
him.
Captain Millers also got a good swimmer to dive down to look for Bryce. Although the pond was not big,
the man didn't find Bryce after searching around. But he wasn't sure if Emily was hiding somewhere
under the mud. After all, he was so small that he couldn't be seen if he chose to hide.
Emily's face turned pale when she saw Hunter's body, not because she felt pity for him, but because
she was afraid Bryce would be drowned, and that his face would become pale and bloated.
She could not even imagine that something like this would happen to her sweet son.
"How did it go?" Franklin was somewhat calm. Although his face looked bad, he could still ask
questions.
Captain Millers quickly reported to him. "There's no news yet. We've already searched the pond several
times, and I don't think the young master has fallen into the water. Besides, Hunter floated up. Your son
must have run before Hunter who fell into the water accidentally to chase him. If he was really... He
should have floated up and been discovered long ago. But I asked people to dive again. If he was still
not found, he probably didn't fall into the water."
Franklin's eyes lit up when he heard this, thinking that no news was good news.
"If he didn't fall into the water, then go search somewhere else. He's just a child, so he can't run far. He
must be nearby."
After that, Franklin ordered the bodyguards to look around. This was the suburbs with many old junks.
It was easy for a child to hide here.
Captain Millers also agreed with Franklin and instructed most of the policemen to look around and only
two people were asked to continue diving and searching. If they still couldn't find Bryce, then he really
didn't fall into the water.
Emily thought the same as Franklin and that no news was good news.
She didn't want to hear about them finding her son in the pond. She'd rather guess he was hiding
somewhere.
However, although all the police and the bodyguards Franklin brought searched nearly everywhere,
they didn't find him. They almost asked about everyone in this place, but got no news.
However, there was a lucky surprise. One person said that a car had passed by. But it didn't stop.
Because the car looked upscale, although the person saw it one time, he still had some impression.
Franklin immediately sent someone to check the surveillance video nearby and to investigate at the
traffic lights at the intersection.
However, the result was unfavorable. They now knew the car was a Land Rover, but there was no
license plate on it.
It was not easy to locate a car without a license plate. Besides, the word came that the car had gone
out of Lancaster. As soon as the car left Lancaster, it was even more difficult to locate it.
"Even if we know where the car is, the young master may not be in it, but I will still send someone to
locate the car. We can at least get some news." Jason said to Franklin.
Franklin nodded with a sullen face and waved Jason to do it. He himself walked into the room and
stared at Emily lying on the bed.
After a long day of suffering, Emily was already exhausted. Not knowing Bryce's whereabouts, she was
heartbroken and lost her strength after spending a short time in the suburbs. When she came back,
she could only lie on the bed, but she didn't want to eat or drink. She felt as if she had lost her soul.
Franklin walked over and touched her forehead.
She was having a mild fever.
It was understandable. After all, she had experienced such a big change, not to say that she was
knocked out and tortured by him before that. It would be strange if she didn't have a fever.
Franklin quickly called Lisa and asked her to call the family doctor to treat Emily.
But Franklin knew very well why Emily was ill. It was because she had been thinking too much. Nothing
could cure her unless Bryce could be found right away.
Therefore, she could only take some medicine, put on a drip, and rest more.
Sure enough, that was what the doctor said after he came. The doctor also said that Emily was too
weak and had to be put on a nutritional drip.
Franklin didn't object. Emily didn't eat or drink. Without the nutritional injection, he was afraid she would
break down physically and couldn't recover.
But this was not a permanent solution. After the doctor left, he sat by the bed and held her hand and Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find our son."
