Chapter 627
At the time, everyone turned to look at the door, along with Xareni. A long while later, no one showed up. In the
end, Xareni was so disappointed that she hung her head and slumped onto Curtis' shoulders.
Everyone belatedly realized she was waiting for Rayna.
Curtis embraced Xareni tightly, his eyes becoming red with emotion. Again and again, he reassured her, “Mommy
will be back.”
When the sound of a car engine being turned off was heard in the courtyard, Caylie glanced down from the second
floor and saw a black Bentley parked outside. She hurried into the bedroom and told the woman lying on the
reclining chair. “Ms. Griffith, Mr. Bridge is back.”
Hearing that, the woman got up. Caylie went over to help her up. “Slowly, Ms. Griffith.”
Before they could go downstairs, they heard footsteps in the hallway. A man's gentle voice soon rang out, “Belle.”
The woman reached out instinctively, and the man held her hand. “I'm sorry. I was busy with work and couldn't
make time to visit you.”
He stroked her hair and remarked, “You've lost weight.”
Beside them, Caylie hung her head. Afraid the man would reprimand her, she quickly explained, “Ms. Griffith hasn't
been eating much for the past few days.”
“She hasn't been eating much?” Hearing that, the man tensed up and reached out to check her temperature. Her
temperature was normal, so he asked, “What happened? Is she sick?”
“The doctor came to check on her. According to the doctor, she needs some time to get used to the climate,”
Caylie reported.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“She needs some time to get used to the climate?” The man's brows knitted together.
Sensing his displeasure, the woman was afraid he would vent his frustration on Caylie. She hurriedly explained,
“Maybe it's because of the beach.”
The man's frown initially deepened, but he soon relaxed. He knew she didn't want him to blame the innocent.
My Belle has always been kind.
“Did the doctor prescribe any medicine?” he asked gently as he held her close and rubbed his chin against her hair.
“Yes. Caylie fed me the medicine a while ago.” The woman stood motionless with her arms at her sides, allowing
the man to embrace her.
Strangely, an indistinct image of a man materialized in her thoughts.
In her mind, that man had embraced her and would occasionally affectionately nuzzle his chin against her hair.
“What are you thinking about?” Noticing she had spaced out, the man reached out to pinch her chin gently. He then
leaned in, attempting to kiss her. Feeling his breath on her cheek, the woman recoiled in fear and pushed him away.
The man stiffened, his hands still midair. Shortly after, the woman parted her lips and stuttered, “I-I had just
vomited...”
Hearing her explanation, the man gradually relaxed. He got worried about her condition and asked, “Do you still
feel like vomiting now?”
“I feel better now,” the woman assured him. She then requested, “I'd like to go out for a walk.”
“Sure. I'll accompany you.” The man held her hand and led her out of the house.
Once they both left, Caylie heaved a sigh of relief.
She was terrified of her boss, particularly when it came to caring for Isabelle. She was afraid of being blamed for
not providing proper attention to Isabelle.
Curtis viewed the surveillance footage that James sent him, but it only showed that Rayna had been abducted and
didn't reveal the identity of the kidnapper.
It was impossible to find them in a sea of people.
Seeing Curtis put a hand to his forehead in frustration, Theodore tamped down his own feelings and reassured him,
“Don't give up, Curtis. The surveillance footage from the hospital can still be restored.”
“What did the police say?” Jeremy asked Robin.
Robin shook his head helplessly. “The police said they didn't find anything out of the ordinary.”
Hearing that, Wyatt furrowed his brows and turned to Curtis. “Curtis, on the day of Rayna's disappearance, did
anything special happen in Norwal City?”
It was inconceivable for a person to vanish without a trace. The only explanation was that someone had
meticulously planned and executed Rayna's kidnapping.
“Strange?” Robin recalled that particular day and said, “That day, Faymon Group held a board meeting for a project
in Yartran. Mr. Faymon didn't attend the meeting, though.”
Curtis narrowed his gaze as though he was pondering over something. “Theodore, check the immigration records!”
Beside them, Jeremy chimed in, “I did that. Nothing unusual was found.” Before he could say more, Curtis retorted,
“Yes, there was something unusual. Yartran's diplomat came to Norwal City!”
“The diplomat used his private jet,” Jeremy stated, not noticing anything strange about it. Wyatt promptly
enlightened him, “It provided the ideal chance for someone to smuggle Rayna out of Norwal City.”
Comprehension dawned on Jeremy. “I'll go get someone to look into it!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHalf an hour later, Jeremy found out when the diplomat departed. He only left the country the following afternoon
after Rayna went missing. Their lead was now a dead end.
“The timing isn't right.” Theodore shook his head. He was certain those people sent Rayna away right after
abducting her instead of waiting until the following day to avoid any potential complications.
James sat on the couch, focused on hacking into the surveillance systems across Norwal City. He meticulously went
through them, zeroing in on the footage from the day when the hospital caught fire.
“What are you doing?” Curtis frowned slightly when he noticed James was typing furiously on his keyboard. He got
up from his seat and approached James, standing behind him.
“I'm checking the surveillance systems across the city to see if I've missed anything.” James rapidly typed out a
series of codes on the keyboard. Soon, a few enlarged scenes were automatically deleted.
Curtis stood behind James and stared at the screen without blinking, afraid of missing anything. After the hospital
caught fire, a black trailer that drove out of the hospital's back entrance caught his attention. “Wait, James.”
James quickly hit the pause button. Curtis instructed, “Enlarge the video.”
When the screen was enlarged, Curtis gazed at the trailer's rearview mirror. “Here. Can you enlarge this?”
James typed in a bunch of code, and the scene became clear. “It's Rayna!”
Curtis brushed a trembling finger across the screen as he felt his heart coming back to life again.
Theodore, Wyatt, and Jeremy hurried over to them. They were relieved to see the woman on the screen. “It looks
like Rayna is still alive,” Jeremy said. He stretched his hand out to support Curtis. “Curtis, Rayna is still alive.”
As long as she was still alive, they would scour every corner of the world just to get her back.
“The car doesn't have a license plate!” Wyatt regarded the vehicle on the laptop screen and discovered its license
plate had been removed.
Theodore asked, “James, can you track the vehicle down?”
