Shane knew that he couldn't continue harping on the issue. He merely massaged his temples before murmuring, “I
understand. Thank you very much.”
“You're welcome, Mr. Shane. Just say the word if you need anything else.” The senior executive flashed him a smile.
Nodding, Shane then took his leave and left.
Right when he stepped out of the manufacturer's office building, his cell phone rang with a call from Connor. “How's
it going, Daddy?”
I wonder whether Daddy has found any leads since it's been such a long time.
At his son's voice, Shane's creased brows eased a fraction. “I've already determined your mommy's whereabouts.
She's on a particular island in Nalanica's open ocean.”
“Then, it means that my guess yesterday was right on the mark!” Connor's eyes lit up.
Shane murmured in acknowledgment before he lauded, “Yup! Your guess was right!”
“That's great! We've finally located Mommy after toiling for such a long time!” Connor was so happy that he was on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe verge of tears.
“Yeah.” Shane's gaze turned tender as well.
After searching for an eternity, there's finally a lead to Natalie's whereabouts. This is the only good news today.
Naturally, relief suffused him.
“Daddy, when are we going to the island to pick Mommy up?” Connor's petite hands balled into fists, and he was
ready to set out anytime.
Alas, Shane countered, “Stay put first, Connor. Despite having your mommy's whereabouts, there's still a need to
investigate which island she's on specifically. I plan to go to that area of the ocean personally and search island by
island!”
Staunch determination was etched on his face when he said that.
Since I now know where Natalie is, I naturally have to find her. That aside, I'm also going to get Sean!
“What? I've got to stay put again?” Connor pouted, making it clear as day that he was displeased.
“I'm sorry, Connor. You're too young, so it'll be inconvenient to bring you along,” Shane mollified in a gentle voice.
“All right, then,” Connor relented glumly, his hands were tied since his father said that.
Shane was silent for two seconds before he suggested, “How about this, Connor? When I find your mommy, I'll
come and pick you up right away. What do you think?”
The moment his words fell, Connor's eyes lit up once more. His disappointment instantly changed into excitement,
and he nodded fervently.
“It's decided, then,” Shane concluded, his gaze tender.
“Yup! Daddy, you must find Mommy quickly and bring me over, okay? Oh, Sharon wants to go too,” Connor
asserted, clutching the cell phone tightly.
If they weren't on the phone but speaking face to face right then, he would be asking his father for a pinky promise.
“Okay, I promise.” Shane nodded before he hung up the phone.
After doing so, he didn't put his cell phone away but got into the car and rang Silas up.
Silas answered in no time, greeting, “Mr. Shane.”
“How's the compilation of information on the islands going?” Shane inquired, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRubbing his eyes that were slightly red after having stayed up the entire night, Silas replied, “It's about done. I've
compiled everything on the islands currently indicated on the map. However, I can't do anything about those even
satellites can't detect.”
After all, islands that were even undetectable by satellites couldn't possibly appear on the world map. As such, he
couldn't compile any information on them.
Shane understood that as well, so he wasn't all that disheartened. He merely grunted in acknowledgment before he
ordered, “Send all the information you compiled to me through email. Also, take a flight to Nalanica right now and
wait for me there. Purchase a cruise ship there and equip it with some weapons and rescue equipment.”
The instant Silas heard that, his expression turned exceedingly solemn. “Mr. Shane, are you saying that madam is
really on one of the islands in that ocean?”
“Yes.” Shane nodded.
Silas then gulped. “Then, it means that Sean and the others might be on that island as well?”
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to buy some weapons.
In response, Shane pressed his lips into a thin line. “Yes. Since he took Natalie away, he was likely with her right
now. Hence, he should make all the preparations right away.”
