Chapter 2677
Patricia shook her head. "Nothing."
"You too?" Nicole furrowed her brows as she wondered who was good enough to stop both Max and Patricia from
getting any updates.
Patricia gritted her teeth. "Do you think they might have been..."
She made a gesture of slicing her throat, her expression turned solemn.
'Otherwise, why would they disappear without a trace?'
Nicole looked at Patricia. "Not likely. After all, they're quite tough."
It was impossible for them to be killed and disposed of without a trace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So what exactly happened?" Patricia murmured.
Nicole looked up at her. "Speaking of that, could it be that we started off on the wrong foot?"
"The wrong foot?" Patricia seemed puzzled. 'Aren't we just investigating the traces of those people? How could we
have gone wrong?'
"Yeah. We were only searching for those few criminals, but if they disappeared so quickly, there's only one
possibility - we’ve all overlooked one thing." Nicole's eyes turned dark.
Patricia kind of understood Nicole. "What is it?"
"Those people may not be the ruthless villains we thought they were. They might not even be habitual offenders.
They might just be ordinary passersby, hidden or living near the incident scene," Nicole said.
Patricia's eyes flashed in surprise. "That's a possibility."
Just then, Patricia's phone rang, and Max was on the line." Hey, Max."
"Mr. Johnston wants you to stay close to Mrs. Johnston. Also, Charlie will take care of the investigation now."
"Mrs. Johnston thinks that those people might be hiding or living near the scene of the incident. Ask him to
investigate along these lines." Patricia relayed Nicole's thoughts to Max.
Max agreed and hung up, and Patricia put away her phone." Mr. Johnston has arranged for someone to investigate
this."
"Alright, let's wait for updates." Nicole sighed.
Patricia turned and left the office, while Nicole leaned back in her chair, deep in contemplation...
At the same time, Daniel and Gloria arrived at the ward as Tia and Stanley were tidying up after their breakfast.
"Dad, Mom, you're here!" Stanley felt a little guilty when he saw Daniel and Gloria. "Sorry for worrying you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We're glad you're fine. Take care of yourself, okay?" Gloria walked to his bed and looked at him as her eyes
watered instantly. What had been peaceful had suddenly become a crisis, all because of those despicable criminals.
"Mr. and Mrs. Riddle, please help yourselves. I'll boil some water." Tia said as she took the kettle and headed out.
"I'm fine, honestly. You don't have to trouble yourselves to come see me." Stanley looked at his parents who looked
a bit worn out. He knew they probably did not get much rest yesterday.
"How could we not come? Grandpa asked about you too." Daniel looked at Stanley. "But we told him that you only
suffered from minor injuries. Otherwise, he would worry."
'Yeah, we shouldn't let Grandpa know the specific details. He might not be able to handle it." Stanley agreed as he
did not want to worry his grandfather.
"Just focus on your recovery now. Nicole and Jared will handle the rest," Daniel said.
He nodded and said, "Okay." After all, he really could not help with anything else at the moment.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
