Chapter 685 This Isn’t Easy on Me Either
Abel hung up and gave Kendra a call next.
As soon as the call got through, Abel tried to keep his voice calm and steady. "Is Quincy feeling better?"
Kendra replied, "Yes, she is. Thank you for asking, Mr. Abel."
"That's very good news." Abel continued, "By the way, is Emma with you right now?"
"Ms. Emmeline?" Kendra said in a confused voice, "She didn't come by the hospital today."
Abel's heart sank upon hearing Kendra's response.
That can't be right.
Emma refused to come to Hudrein with me yesterday because she was worried about Quincy's condition. Yet, she
didn't drop by the hospital today to visit her. That doesn't sound right.
"Alright. Then, you and Quincy should get some rest soon."
After he had ended the call, Abel dialed Emmeline's number again. However, he got the operator's response saying
that the phone had been turned off.
Abel phoned Luca at once. "Luca, check for the current location of Ms. Louise's phone right now!"

the phone was turned off.
In less than a minute, Luca showed up at Abel's room to report his findings.
"Mr. Abel, I can't seem to pinpoint the location of Ms. Louise's phone."
"That's bad news." Abel said, "Something might have happened to Emma."
Luca did not expect to hear that.
What's going on?! Ms. Louise appeared fine when I saw her bidding Mr. Abel farewell this morning, though.
At the same time, it finally dawned on Abel that the person who was chatting with him on WhatsApp just now was
not Emmeline.
He quickly made another phone call to Benjamin.
Benjamin answered the phone fairly quickly. "Abel, what's the matter?"
"Benjamin, did you see Emma today?" Abel asked in an anxious voice.
"Emma?" Benjamin was gripped by a sense of panic. "What do you mean, Abel? Don't joke around with me when
it's already this late at night!"
"I'm currently in Hudrein." Abel explained, "I was chatting with Emma on WhatsApp just now, but I noticed later on
that the person replying to my messages wasn't her! Emma's probably in danger right now!"
Benjamin had just finished taking a shower when he received Abel's call. He pulled off the bathrobe and started
changing into a new set of clothes after hearing Abel's words.
"Abel, explain what you know more specifically. What exactly happened to Emma?!"
"Would I be calling you if I knew what had happened to her?" Abel went on, "For now, you should try to look for
Emma first. I will arrange for a return flight and get back as soon as possible."
After that, Benjamin ended the call. Then, he phoned Sam right away.
Sam was getting ready to close down the shop for the day. She picked up the phone the instant she saw that it was
a call from Benjamin.
"Sam, is Emma at the cafe now?"
Upon hearing that question, Sam had a foreboding feeling almost instantaneously.
"Mr. Benjamin, I haven't seen Ms. Louise. She didn't come to the cafe today."
"D*mn it!" Benjamin cursed. "Something must have happened to Emma, then."
Sam was so shocked that she felt her legs give out. She sat on the chair and cried out, "Mr. Benjamin! Daisy and I
wouldn't be able to take it if something bad were to happen to Ms. Louise again!"

"What should we do then?" Sam asked, "Should I head somewhere and help look for her now?"
"You should stay at Nightfall Cafe." Benjamin said, "I'll look for Emma!"
Half an hour later, Benjamin brought Eric and several of his men and arrived at the Precipice.
They found out from the guards about the time and the type of car Emmeline had left the house in. Then, Benjamin
contacted the police department to get their help in tracking down Emmeline's vehicle.
Soon afterward, Benjamin received an update from the police department that Emmeline's car was seen on a
certain highway.
Benjamin furrowed his brows.
Isn't that the highway that leads to Janie's hometown? Was Emma trying to look for Janie again?
The staff from the police department also informed Benjamin that Emmeline's car was seen exiting the highway
and entering a small town at some point. Then, they lost track of Emmeline as she entered an area without
surveillance cameras.
Three hours later, Benjamin arrived at the place where Emmeline's sports car was last seen.
