S31 77. Bad News
Kara rubbed Barbara’s face patiently. “Then, let’s go home. The
sooner we get there, the sooner your brother can save them. You
don’t want to waste time, right? Every second is precious for Philip. Don’t let it be too late
to save him because….”
Kara deliberately let the sentence hung. Her tactic succeeded in suppressing Barbara’s
sobs.
“Because what?” Barbara choked on her own breath. “No. You can’t be late in saving
Philip.”
“Then stand up!” Frank grabbed Barbara’s other arm.
Just at that moment, the phone in his pocket rang and a guard barged in with a pale face.
“Sir, we got bad news!”
Everyone in the room held their breath. “What is it?”
“We’ve checked the list of car accidents that happened today.”
Frank’s eyes widened. “Is one of them Philip’s car?”
The guard sighed heavily. “No, but there is a report that has ju in. There was a series of
accidents due to a truck load contain wooden blocks collapsing. The nearest car tried to
avoid it. But because it hit the road divider, the car overturned and hit the as
Frank’s heart pounded. “And then?”
“We haven’t got the license plate number yet, but it’s the same cal Philip’s.”
Frank’s eyes spontaneously widened. “Then what are you waiting f Quickly send the
Cheetah team to check the situation there!”
“We’ve done it, Sir, but the problem is….”
Barbara’s eyes trembled. A bad feeling loomed over her heart. “What happened to the car
driver?”
The guard lowered his gaze. “The car exploded. Everything was burnt to the ground. We
haven’t heard anything else about the driver.”
Barbara immediately covered her mouth with one hand. Tears fell without having time to
touch her cheeks.

After a few sobs, Barbara’s knees weakened. Frank quickly sat her back on the sofa.
“Brother, what should we do? I’m not ready to lose Philip. He has promised to live with me.
He has to keep his word.”
While grimacing, Kara rubbed Barbara’s arm. “No, Barbara. It might not be Philip’s car.”
“But it’s the same type of car….”
While Kara was busy calming Barbara down, Frank checked his phone. There was one
missed call there.
“Why did Wela call me?”
His thoughts immediately went to Ava and Jeremy. He immed called back.
“What’s wrong, Wela?”
The doctor sighed heavily. “Frank, was stuck in a very long traf jam. Out of curiosity, I went
down to check it out.”
Frank’s heart rate instantly doubled. “So?”
“I was shocked when I saw Philip’s car. I immediately ran to check i
But… but….
Frank closed his eyes, knowing what was next. “Is Rony with you?”
Wela’s sobs could be heard. “No. I’m alone.”
“Then, can you confirm whether there is anyone in there? Maybe… he might have gotten
out before the explosion happened.”
Barbara widened her eyes at that sentence. She moved her seat forward. Her back
straightened, her face turned pale. “Is that really Philip’s car? It was Philip’s car that
exploded?”
Before Frank could answer, Barbara’s body went limp. If Kara hadn’t been quick to pull
her, she would have fallen to the floor.
“Barbara?” Kara glanced at the guards on standby, asking for help.
Meanwhile, Frank pinched the bridge of his nose. “Yes, that’s all, Wela. Can you help me?”
“Yes, but I have to wait for the firefighters to put out the fire. They just
arrived.”
After thanking her and ending the call, Frank rubbed his forehead. With teary eyes, he saw
his sister lying weakly on the sofa and
wife.
“There’s still a chance for Philip to survive, right?” Kara said softly.
Frank nodded. “I’m sure he must have gotten out before the explos happened. It’s been a
few minutes since the accident.”
“Oh, Frank,” Kara snuggled up with her husband. At that moment, Frank realized that her
body was shaking.
“The Moore family is truly sadistic. Will Louis and Emily be okay?” Kara couldn’t contain
her worry any longer.
“Yeah, they’re smart kids. They’ll definitely survive.”
“Has the investigation team managed to track them down?”
Frank pursed his mouth. He did not dare to lie, nor did he dare to tell
the truth.
Just as Kara’s hopes were dashed, Frank’s phone rang again. Seeing the name that
appeared, they both gasped.
“Louis?”
While taking the call and turning on speaker mode, Frank walked quickly to his computer.
“Buddy?”
“Daddy,” the twins’ voices greeted.
A sigh of relief immediately escaped Kara’s mouth. “Little Angels, how are you guys?”
“We’re fine, Mommy. I just finished removing the tape on Emily’s hands. Now, Emily is
working hard to remove mine. With the key chain that Daddy gave us!”
Kara’s worries surfaced again. “Duct tape?”
“Yeah, the criminals tied our hands before putting us in a white box car. Their leader’s
name was Turner. But strangely, he didn’t look strong. His men looked like thugs.
Although, I don’t think they experienced in kidnapping.”
Suddenly, Emily’s gasp was heard. She had difficulty speaking her hands constantly
moving. “In fact, if Sean fights, I’m sure they all lose. But they are holding Sean’s family
back. Sean must be af that his family will get hurt.”
Kara’s eyebrows furrowed. “You guys met Sean’s family?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Sean was forced to kidnap us to save his family, Mommy. But I’m afraid they won’t
survive. When the car took us, there was a big explosion. Can Daddy send someone to
help them?”
“Where is Sean switching you guys with his family?” Frank asked while fiddling with his
computer.
“I don’t know, Daddy. I didn’t pay much attention to the road. But it was an old two-story
abandoned building. Maybe it used to be a
factory.”
“I saw a lot of cargo cars on the road earlier. I think we were heading towards the port,”
Emily added, still sighing.
“Oh, yes! Now I remember.” Louis explained what buildings he had seen earlier.
“Okay, I will send help there. The loud explosion you heard earlier should have been heard
by other people. There must have been reports about it. You don’t need to worry about
Sean and his family.”
“When will Daddy come to pick us up?”
Frank was silent for a moment. His eyes moved swiftly to study the direction of Louis’ GPS
movement.
“Kids, can you check the situation around you? I have got your
location, but I need clearer information. I need to guess where the car is taking you.”
Right at that moment, Louis let out a sigh of relief. “Finally…. Emily. Emily managed to
untie me, Daddy, Mommy.”
While Kara covered her bitter smile with her hands, Frank no Good. Now tell me what’s in
there.”
Silence hung for a moment. Louis’s muttering was occasionally heard. “There were only
lights, safety instructions, big white bo stacked in the corner. But there was no writing.”
“Can you guys check what’s inside?”
“Wait a minute.”
The twins started whispering, working together to lift the cover which made a squeak.
Frank and Kara waited with pounding hearts.
