Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 73

Life was peaceful for a few days. On this day, Amber was working in the company. He received a call from Ashton. “Amber, Mel is missing!”

“When did he disappear?” Amber was shocked.

“Just now, I took him to play in the park. He said he wanted to eat ice cream. I bought an ice cream and I didn’t see him anymore!”

“How could this be?” Amber’s heart jumped. He rushed to Elliot’s office with the phone in his hand. Ignoring everyone else, he called out his name. “Elliot, I have something to do first. I’ll do the rest of the work tomorrow.”

Looking at her pale face, Elliot had an intuition that something big had happened. “Amber, did something happen?”

“My son is missing in the park! I’m going to find him!”

“I’ll go with you!” Elliot immediately got up and followed Amber out of the company. They got in the car and went straight to the lost park.

Along the way, Amber’s face was full of panic. He muttered, “No accidents must happen. No accidents must happen. How can I live if something happens to him?”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen!” Elliot comforted her.

The car soon stopped at the park where Mel had lost. Amber got out of the car and rushed in. Soon, she met Ashton, who was sweating profusely.

“Uncle, is there any news yet?”

“No, Amber. No one has seen him since I came here.”

“What should we do? Mel, why are you walking around? Do you know that mom is worried about you?”

Seeing that Amber was in a state of panic, Elliot was also worried. He picked up his phone and called the police officers he knew. “Kash, my son was lost in the South Lake Park. Please arrange a few people to help me.”

After hanging up the phone, Elliot accompanied Amber to look around the park. He did not find any trace of Mel. Elliot felt that it did not seem like he had lost something.

Seeing that Amber was so anxious that he was about to cry, he didn’t dare to say his guess. He just took Amber’s hand and went straight to the surveillance room of the park.

As soon as he entered the door, he ordered the staff inside, “The child has just been lost. Help me adjust the surveillance video immediately!”

The people in the monitoring room looked at the man and woman who suddenly broke in. They wanted to refuse, but under the man’s dignified gaze, they couldn’t say no.

Soon, the surveillance in the place where Mel had gone was found. Ashton was waiting in line to buy ice cream in the place where ice cream was sold. Mel was standing aside and waiting.

A man wearing an sunglasses and a hat mask came from the side. The man was holding an electric toy in his hand to seduce Mel. Mel walked over curiously. The man suddenly held Mel in his arms and quickly left.

Everything happened very quickly, and almost no one noticed this scene.

Watching the man disappear into the surveillance camera, Amber burst into tears. “What should I do? What should I do?”

Looking at her tears, Elliot had lived for so many years. For the first time, he felt a sense of heartache.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find it! I’m here! Don’t worry!” He comforted Amber, but he was not idle. He continued to call Kash. “Kash, has the person you arranged come? My son was taken away in the park. It may be a crime. I hope you can arrange for someone to start investigating the surveillance on the road immediately.”

The person on the other end of the line agreed quickly. Elliot hung up the phone and dialed again. “Bring some people here immediately. Mel is missing.”

This was a call from Deon.

At first, the staff of the park management department did not take it seriously. However, when they heard that Elliot actually called Kash and asked the police to help him find the children, they became nervous and immediately arranged for the staff of the park to follow him.

Elliot asked the staff to continue to adjust the surveillance. The surveillance showed that the man carried Mel into a blind corner of the surveillance, and never appeared again.

Elliot frowned and ordered the staff to adjust the surveillance at the gate. He stared at the screen carefully. After a while, he suddenly said, “Stop!”

The staff stopped immediately. Elliot pointed at a man who got off a van and asked, “Do you think this man looks like the person who just carried the child?”

“It doesn’t look like it.” The staff answered. The person who had just carried the child was wearing a coat, a hat, and sunglasses. This one was only wearing a T-shirt.

“Look at his shoes!” Elliot pointed at the man’s shoes for the staff to see. He could put on his coat, hat, and sunglasses at the moment, but he couldn’t change them for the time being.

The staff looked at the man’s shoes carefully and nodded. “The shoes are the same.”

“Let’s enlarge his license plate!”

The staff member immediately enlarged the license plate. Elliot picked up the phone and dialed. “Kash, please ask someone to pay attention to this license plate. I suspect that the child has been taken away by him!”

As he made the phone call and walked out, Amber grabbed his hand. “Elliot, where are you going?”

“Wait here. I’ll go out and have a look!”

“I don’t want to wait. I’m going to find my son!” Amber’s legs were trembling all the time. That kind of fear came from the bottom of his heart. If Mel couldn’t find him, what should she do?

“My son! What should I do when my lovely, obedient, and sensible son is gone?”

Elliot saw her expression and sighed. “Alright, you can go out with me!”

Elliot helped Amber stumble out of the door and went straight to the parking lot outside the park. He opened the door and helped Amber into the car, while he opened the door of the driver’s seat and started the car.

When the car drove out of the park gate, Elliot’s phone rang. It was from Kash. “Mr. Thomson, we have found the license plate you are looking for. It appeared on the West River Road. I am arranging for someone to block it.”

“Thank you, Kash!” After hanging up the phone, Elliot immediately sped up and went straight to the West River Road.

He drove an excellent limited edition luxury car, and instantly sped up and rushed out like a roar.

In less than half an hour, Elliot’s car rushed to the West River Road. Because the suspect appeared on the West River Road, the nearby police all drove a police car to intercept him.

For a moment, the entire West River Road was filled with alarm sounds. Soon, Elliot’s phone rang again. It was from Kash.

They found the van at the intersection between the Living Road and the Black Trail. The driver was nowhere to be found. The police were searching nearby. The child was sleeping in the car, and there were no scars on his body.

Hearing this news, Amber was relieved. Soon, they arrived at the alley.

Before the car stopped, Amber rushed down. “Mel! Mel!”

She took Mel from the police and held it tightly in her arms. The feeling of regaining what she lost made her tears fall uncontrollably again.

Elliot reached out and held Amber and Mel in his arms. He comforted them gently. “There’s nothing left. There’s nothing left!”

This shock almost scared Amber out of his wits. Holding his son in her arms, she was reluctant to let go.

Elliot looked at Amber’s trembling body and sighed slightly. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Amber nodded and carried Mel into the car with Elliot. Sitting in the car, Amber couldn’t help trembling.

She didn’t dare to imagine what she would do if she couldn’t find her son and Mel. She wouldn’t be able to live!

Elliot drove Mel to the hospital. There was nothing serious about the doctor’s examination, but he insisted on staying in the hospital for observation before going home.

Mel had been sleeping, waiting for a long time without waking up. Elliot was anxious to find a doctor.

Amber sat quietly at the side and looked at him. Her son, who was born in October, could not help but lower his head and kiss Mel.

Someone came in. Two policemen in police uniforms introduced themselves to Amber and sat down. “We have caught the criminal suspect.”

“Why did he kidnap my child?”

“He said it was not a kidnapping, but someone gave him a sum of money. He asked him to hide the child first and send it back in a few days.”

“Who asked him to do this?” Amber didn’t believe it at all.

“He doesn’t know either. They met Club Cobalt. At that time, they pretended to be very good, wearing hats, sunglasses, and masks. We couldn’t see their original appearances. They had an appointment to meet outside the city, and there was no monitor. So we want to ask you, have you ever offended anyone, or have a grudge against anyone?”

Amber shook his head. She had never offended anyone in South City. If there must be a grudge between them, there must be a candidate, Celia, Shannon, and Rachel.

Could it be one of them? Amber didn’t dare to say anything without any evidence, so he just shook his head.

The police saw that they couldn’t get anything from Amber and said a few more words before leaving the ward.

Amber saw the police off and met Rodney, who was in a hurry at the elevator entrance. “Amber, I heard that something happened to Mel?”

“Yes.”

“How is the situation now?”

“That’s it,” Amber replied simply.

“Can I go and see him?”

“There’s no need.” Amber refused. “Mr. Barron, you’d better spend more time with your fiancee.”

The word “fiancee” made Rodney’s face change. Amber seemed not to see his embarrassment. “As a man, you should be responsible. It’s not good for you to hook up with your ex-wife behind your back. Of course, Mr. Barron may not care about reputation, but I care. In order not to damage my reputation, please don’t come to me in the future!”

Rodney stood where he was and watched as she turned around indifferently. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the Barron family, Rachel soon learned that the matter had failed. Her purpose was not to kidnap children, but to scare Amber. When she heard that the matter had failed, she did not take it to heart.

In the afternoon, Itzel came to visit her. Rachel and Itzel talked about everything and told Itzel about the child. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Itzel sighed. “I’m afraid I’ve made a fool of myself this time.”

“Why do you say that?” Rachel was puzzled.

“Let me tell you, I just saw Rodney go to the hospital to see Amber and his child. They quarreled outside, and Amber gave Rodney a slap in the face.” Itzel knew that Rachel was most protective of her son. When she heard that someone had slapped her son, she felt worse than if she had slapped herself.

Sure enough, Rachel was very angry when she heard this. “What? Why did this little bitch hit my son?”

“I’m afraid Amber has guessed the truth. After all, only you have such a motive.”

“Then what should we do now?” After all, she was in the wrong, so Rachel felt guilty.

“I’ll know if I know. She doesn’t have any evidence. What can she do to you?”

“I know about this, but isn’t Rodney still involved with her? I’m worried about this.”

“I have an idea…” Itzel lowered her voice. Rachel sighed and said, “Let’s try it!”

Because of the kidnapping of Mel, Elliot gave Amber a few days off and asked her to stay at home with her child.

Amber was also worried that it would leave a shadow in the child’s heart. He had been staying at home with Mel for the past two days. At noon, Noemi came to see them.

She bought food and toys for Mel. Mel and Ashton were playing in the living room. Noemi pulled Amber into the bedroom and closed the door. “Amber, I met Celia and Zoe at the coffee shop at noon today. Do you know what those two bitches are talking about? It was Rachel who kidnapped Mel.”

“What?”

“In order to force you to leave South City, that old bitch deliberately asked someone to take the child away. She wants to threaten you. She’s too vicious!”

“How could she do this?” Amber trembled with anger.

“I heard from that b*tch Celia that Rachel was afraid that you would pester Rodney again, so she did this. Amber, you have to stay away from him in the future.”

“Do you think I don’t want to? When I came back, I never thought that I would have anything to do with him. But recently, he has been showing up in front of me all the time.” Amber sighed.

“That disgusting jerk, what on earth does he want to do?”

“Who knows?”

“If he comes to you again, you should make it clear to him. Don’t give him any leeway. Mr. Barron is also a character. I don’t believe that he will be so shameless.”

After sending Noemi away, Amber went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, feeling upset. When she came back, she saw Rodney.
