Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 434: Must Identify the Mysterious Woman’s Identity...
Following closely, Locke and Ned Faris also rushed out.
Seeing Adrian bleeding profusely, walking unsteadily at a quick pace, Locke immediately reached out to support him, "Boss, let me take you to the hospital first?"
As he spoke, he looked at Ned Faris, "Ned, go get the car ready!"
"No hospital, Melody is in danger!" Adrian looked at the two, his voice chilling, commanding without leaving room for doubt, "Go find Melody! Hurry!"
"Boss, your injuries..." Locke hurriedly began, wanting to say that Adrian’s injuries were severe, and one of them could take him to the hospital while the other stayed to look for Melody Parker.
But before he could finish, Adrian waved off Locke’s hand that was supporting him, roaring coldly, "I said, go find Melody!"
"Yes!" Locke dared not question anymore, immediately running out of the hotel with Ned to search for Melody Parker...
On the street outside the hotel, there was not a soul to be seen, and Melody Parker was nowhere in sight; even Barrett Carter, who had chased her out first, was gone.
Due to his abdominal injury, Adrian came out a step later.
Seeing the deserted street, Adrian’s eyes were bloodshot, looking towards Locke, "Where are they? Where’s Melody?"
Locke: "..."
When he came out, he did not see Melody Parker.
No matter how fast she ran, it was impossible for her to disappear like that.
Unless she was taken away by someone the moment she ran out.
Looking at the silent and dark street, Adrian’s eyes narrowed ominously.
Given the situation, with his experience and Melody’s demeanor, he could clearly conclude: Melody must have been hypnotized or poisoned!
Otherwise, Melody would never have harmed him.
And her sudden disappearance must mean someone was waiting here, taking her away the moment she appeared.
"Chase!" Adrian ordered coldly, "Find Melody at all costs!"
Adrian’s deductions were spot on.
When Melody Parker dashed out of the hotel onto the empty street, a black van drove towards her.
Then it took the disoriented Melody Parker into the van, quickly driving away, disappearing into the night.
Soon after, Melody Parker was taken away from Lido, Colorado...
On the chase, Adrian lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
Seeing Adrian unconscious, Locke immediately made a decision, "Ned, you keep looking for Miss Parker, I’ll take the boss to the hospital!"
Ned nodded in agreement, "Alright."
The boss’s injuries were severe; if they weren’t taken to the hospital for treatment, it would be impossible to search for Miss Parker, and the boss might not survive here.
When the boss was awake, Locke and Ned couldn’t and dared not do anything about him.
Now that he’s unconscious, they can finally take him to the hospital. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Locke drove Adrian to the hospital and made a call, "Intensify the investigation efforts, we must find out the identity of that mysterious woman Barrett mentioned!"
Adrian was unconscious for the entire night.
And during this night, Melody Parker had long been taken somewhere by that van...
As soon as Barrett Carter noticed something was wrong, he immediately left the room.
Seeing Adrian with a bleeding abdomen, chasing and yelling for Melody to come back, Barrett’s face changed drastically, and he immediately chased after them.
Something was wrong, something indeed was wrong!
Since Melody Parker locked herself in her room and refused to come out, Barrett had a vague sense of unease.
When Adrian asked him about all the details after Melody Parker’s disappearance, his uneasiness only grew.
Except for the wooden figurine, he hid nothing, telling Adrian everything.
At the same time, he recalled all the details of that day carefully.
Some things are terrifying upon careful thought.
Upon close recollection, he realized: because of the wooden figurine, because that woman found out his thoughts, he questioned nothing, did nothing, and let that woman go, which was the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life!
The appearance of the butterfly that day was too strange; the appearance of the woman in black even stranger, and he clearly thought back then that the young lady’s sudden disappearance must be related to that woman.
But because of the wooden figurine, his heart was in chaos, and after confirming the young lady was safe, he hurriedly took her away.
Upon Adrian’s questioning, his unease increased, yet there were still many things he couldn’t understand.
For instance: Why would that woman let the young lady go when taking her away, and even when Barrett couldn’t find her?
And if that woman intended to harm the young lady, she could have done it during the ten minutes she disappeared, so why did she do nothing?
Also, when Barrett took the young lady away, why didn’t that woman stop him?
...
Too many unanswered questions swirled in Barrett’s mind, and before he could resolve them, he heard Adrian’s loud call.
Seeing Adrian’s profusely bleeding wound, watching the young lady’s figure disappear in an instant, Barrett suddenly understood everything.
So, during those ten minutes when the young lady disappeared, that woman did do something, things she intended, fully completed.
So, the reason that woman willingly let the young lady go, allowed Barrett to take her away, was to have the young lady harm Adrian, even kill him!
The young lady was in trouble, Adrian was in trouble, all because of his negligence!
Yet now, he had no time for guilt; there was no room for guilt; he must find the young lady, not let her be harmed any further.
Once he found the young lady and handed her safely to Adrian, he would kneel and plead guilty, seeking punishment...
But when he rushed out of the hotel, there was no one on the street, no trace of the young lady to be seen.
He ran frantically but still could not find the young lady’s trail.
Barrett was utterly despairing.
It was his negligence; he failed to protect the young lady, and he deserved a thousand deaths!
But now, what should he do?
Where should he go to search for the young lady?
That’s right, that shell house!
Immediately turning back, Barrett headed straight for that shell house.
But upon arriving there, he found the place where the shell house once stood was empty, no shell house to be seen... everything seemed like a figment of his imagination, like it had never happened.
But all of this was not his imagination.
Previously, he did indeed see the shell house here, and the young lady did indeed emerge from that shell house.
Moreover, the young lady indeed stabbed Adrian, then disappeared!
