Chapter 273: Mommy is Very Anxious
“Sophia suddenly disappeared?”
As the two walked out of the botanical garden, Olivia couldn’t help but ask.
If she didn’t know the reason, she feared she would blame herself endlessly.
Victor gave her a deep look. Although Sophia hadn’t explicitly said it, he could guess that the child went missing because she wanted to find Olivia.
Meeting his gaze, Olivia felt increasingly uneasy. “Wasn’t she with you? How could the two of you…”
How could the two of them not keep an eye on one child? Especially since Sophia was always so well-behaved.
Olivia didn’t voice her last thought.
Sophia’s disappearance had already made Victor very anxious. If she said more, it would seem like she was blaming him.
Victor furrowed his brows and gave her a deep look, then succinctly said, “Had a bit of a tiff with Emma.”
“What happened?” Olivia couldn’t understand what could have upset the child enough to make her run off.
Victor withdrew his gaze from her, unwilling to say more.
Even though he hadn’t explained the reason, Olivia’s face was already full of guilt.
If she knew Sophia went missing trying to find her, Olivia would likely take all the blame upon herself.
Seeing that Victor didn’t intend to explain further, Olivia frowned at him, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn’t press for more.
After all, this was their family matter, and she had no right to inquire.
All she could do now was try her best to find Sophia.
“I’ll walk ahead. You check the way back to the hotel.”
After leaving the botanical garden, they split up. Victor left this sentence and then strode up the mountain.
Given the urgency, Olivia didn’t dare delay and hurried towards the hotel.
Inside the botanical garden, the two children also split up, searching and calling out Sophia’s name as they went.
Being small, they almost turned the entire botanical garden upside down, checking every corner they could squeeze into.
But even after meeting up again, they still hadn’t found any trace of Sophia.
“Sophia, come out now. We’re not playing hide and seek anymore.” Ethan’s voice was tinged with tears as he couldn’t find her.
Sebastian kept a stern face and grabbed his brother’s hand. “Don’t cry. Mommy is already very anxious. We can’t make her worry more.”
Hearing this, Ethan sniffled and tried hard to hold back his tears. “Let’s go look outside too.”
Sebastian shook his head. “Let’s not cause more trouble for Mommy. Let’s wait obediently at the entrance of the botanical garden.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ethan nodded obediently.
As the two children walked towards the entrance of the botanical garden, they ran into Miss Lee.
“Sebastian, Ethan, why are you two alone? Where’s Mommy?” Seeing just the two children, Miss Lee couldn’t help but worry.
Sebastian calmly explained to Miss Lee, “Sophia is missing. Mommy went to look for her.”
Hearing this, Miss Lee’s face darkened. “When did this happen?”
Sebastian replied, “I don’t know, but Ethan and I have already searched the entire botanical garden.”
That meant it had been a while.
Miss Lee quickly instructed the two children, “I understand. You two find a place to wait. I’ll get other parents to help search.”
The two children nodded obediently in agreement.
After settling the two children, Miss Lee immediately sent a message in the parents’ group chat, asking them to help search. Along the way, she also sought assistance from the kindergarten staff.
Fortunately, most of the parents knew Sophia, so finding her wouldn’t be too difficult.
