Natalie hurriedly looked at Silas.
Connor and Sharon also did the same.
“Mr. Campbell, did you ask the residents on both sides of the river? It stands to reason that where there is a river,
there will definitely be people living there!” Connor asked, clenching his fists.
It was exactly the question that Natalie wanted to ask.
However, Silas lowered his head. “Yes, they thought of this possibility too and asked all the people living on both
sides of the river, but none of them saved anyone from the river that day.”
“What?” Natalie could not believe what she heard as the only hope she had was dashed again.
Where exactly did Shane go?
Dispirited, Natalie could not stop crying.
Lina held her in her arms. “Nat, don't lose hope. Maybe Mr. Shane left the river on his own.”

Lina nodded. “Yeah. Doesn't this explain why he is neither in the river nor saved by the residents around?”
“That's right.” Sally clapped her hands.
Even Silas thought it was possible.
Yet, what Connor said next sent everyone back to the trough of despair.
“If Daddy really left the river on his own, why didn't he contact the manager and the others? Even if he doesn't
have a cell phone, he can borrow one from the residents; even if he doesn't borrow from them, he can return
home after one day, can't he?”
Everyone fell silent upon hearing his words.
That's right. Mr. Shane isn't a kid. It's impossible that he won't contact anyone if he's really left the river.
Therefore, the truth was that Shane had really gone missing.
“Connor, since you've installed a GPS tracker for me, you must have installed one for Daddy too, right?” Suddenly
thinking of something, Natalie squatted down, placed her hands on Connor's shoulders, and looked at him with
anticipation.
Even Silas also fixed his gaze on Connor. “Yeah, Connor. Did you install one for Mr. Thompson? If yes, please locate
his position now.”
Connor was the only hope they had in finding Shane, but his reply once again rendered them hopeless.
“I did install one on Daddy's phone. When I heard about his disappearance, I immediately searched his location
using my watch, but the location I found was a river. And you just said that he isn't in the river...”
Natalie was in total despair.
Shane had lost his phone in the river, but he was not in the river.
“Mommy,” Connor called out worriedly upon seeing Natalie's pale face.
Natalie did not respond to him as all she could think about was Shane's whereabouts.
He's been missing for one whole day, but no one knows where he is or whether he's still alive. If he's still alive, I can

The more Natalie thought about it, the more afraid she got. She even started having a stomachache as she uttered
a yelp and arched her back in pain.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked. “What's wrong, Nat?”
“Madam, are you okay?” Silas got anxious.
He did not want anything to happen to Natalie too after Shane's disappearance.
“My stomach hurts.” Natalie looked as white as a sheet, with beads of sweat covering her forehead.
The two kids burst out crying in fright.
Sally urged, “Silas, get the car and drive Nat to the hospital!” Only then did Silas come to his senses. He carried
Natalie in his arms and ran to the garage.
Sally and Lina took the kids and followed him.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital, and Natalie was sent to the emergency room of the obstetrics and gynecology
department.
Outside the emergency room, the two kids held hands and looked at the door of the emergency room worriedly,
both their eyes swollen from crying.
