The hospital staff dormitory.
Sean and Dr. Barnes ran all the way without seeing anyone, and when they finally reached Maria’s dormitory, they found the door was not closed.
It was left ajar.
Rudely pushing the door open, there was no sign of Maria in the dormitory, and her luggage was also missing.
Sean was petrified on the spot, unable to believe that Maria, his classmate for four years, was really deceiving him.
“Huff… It seems we are late. This woman probably knew she would be exposed sooner or later, so she left immediately after being brought back here.”
There was a pile of torn papers in the trash can, and Cheyenne quickly squatted down to rummage through the trash can.
Sure enough… the torn paper was a document with Maria’s signature on it.
And the other name could be seen – Elsa
He emptied these scraps of paper from the trash can and wrapped them in his white coat.
“Let’s go, now let’s go back and tell Cheyenne about this news.”
“That’s all we can do.”
Dr. Barnes followed behind, unable to understand what Maria was up to.
If this incident had not happened, she would have had a chance to stay at the hospital and become a doctor after her internship.
Now she was involved in a child trafficking case and would be a fugitive for the rest of her life.
Isn’t it regrettable?
On the other side, Iker’s search for the cleaner was in vain, as the person had already disappeared by the time they caught up.
They asked passersby, and someone said they saw them entering an alley, then driving away in a big red car.
As for the license plate, who would remember that thing when they had nothing to do?
“Cheyenne, don’t worry. Although there is no news for now, from the current situation, Cierra should be safe.”
How could Cheyenne not worry?
She was almost going crazy now, her daughter was only two and a half years old, greedy and lazy…
What if the kidnappers found her too troublesome and mistreated her?
Just then, Sean came back, sweating all over, “Sis, when we went to look for someone, Maria had already left.”
“And this, I found in her room’s trash can, I think it should be very important information, otherwise Maria wouldn’t deliberately destroy it before leaving.”
As he spoke, Sean handed the scraps to Cheyenne.
“Elsa!”
This name immediately appeared in Cheyenne’s mind, she touched her head in pain and leaned against the wall next to her to calm herself down.
“If it’s her, then everything makes sense.”
Iker lowered his head at her words, looking into her almond eyes. Cheyenne’s eyes were bright and warm, shining like they were bathed in sunlight.
“About a month ago, Omari went missing. Kelvin and I started investigating his whereabouts after hearing the news.”
When Kelvin was in Onistead, he happened to see a passenger list, and Elsa happened to be on that list.
At that time, she should have been setting up her plan, she brought Susan back with her that time, and arranged her at a newspaper office in Akloit.
The person who assassinated her and took Cierra away should be the same person, and the fact that Maria cooperated with them shows they were all in it together.
Iker understood now, quickly filtering through the information in his mind, and finally summarizing it simply.
“According to what you mean, this scheme should be Elsa’s long-planned conspiracy for revenge against you.”
“On the surface, she sent an assassin, and there are also spies in the dark, coincidentally they are the Buck sisters who have had conflicts with your family, the Lawrence family.”
Cheyenne smiled lightly, “If you interpret it that way, it’s not wrong.”
When it comes to the grievances between her and Elsa, Cheyenne herself felt extremely wronged. Clearly, Omari was the one who didn’t like her, so why did she keep causing trouble for her repeatedly?
Even after Cheyenne got married and had children, Elsa still caused trouble for her.
“If your guess is correct, those two are sent by Elsa. Once they succeed, they will definitely contact Elsa.”
“Don’t worry, I will ask my friends in the capital to keep an eye on Elsa. If Cierra really falls into her hands, I will definitely rescue her.”
Since Master Glenn betrayed his family, and the engagement between the Weaver family and the Lara family fell through, the Weaver family’s power has declined significantly.
Even if Iker openly brings people in to demand a child from the Weaver family, they probably won’t be able to do anything.
However, that is a last resort!
Cheyenne also felt overwhelmed. She should first think about how to explain to her family when she returns.
In a certain courtyard in Akloit.
Piles of waste stacked up like small mountains in the courtyard – plastic bottles, old newspapers, discarded tires, unwanted clothes and shoes from households…
From afar, it looked like a huge garbage dump.
The small wooden door in front was also dilapidated, with spiders busy spinning webs on it.
An elderly scavenger was pulling a huge box with a small cart on the road, attracting many onlookers.
This area is where people who work in the city live, a mix of good and bad.
There are about three or four families living here who make a living by scavenging, mostly elderly women.
He was the only man among them, and those women didn’t like him at all because he collected the most waste every day.
This time, he attracted the jealousy of an old woman, who stood at the door with a bowl of food. As soon as she saw the old man returning, she immediately set the bowl down.
In a sarcastic tone, she said, “Hey, Old Bray, did you find some good treasures this time? This box is so big, looks like it’s too heavy for you to pull.”
“Why are you working so hard at your age? Be careful not to strain your back. At our age… it’s really uncomfortable if your head or back hurts.”
In the end, she was just envious of him for having such a huge cardboard box.
Old Bray grinned at her, jokingly said, “Who said an old man like me can’t handle it? My back and legs are fine. If you don’t believe me, you can marry me and try.”
“Your husband has been dead for a long time, your daughter and son are grown up, marry an old man like me… I can even help you take care of your grandchildren in the future.”
As soon as she heard this, the woman opposite was furious, she dropped the bowl.
“Shameless old man, I’m a 53-year-old woman, do you think you are worthy of me at almost seventy?”
“You still want to marry me, based on the pile of garbage in your yard? Dream on!”
After cursing people so straightforwardly, the woman slammed the door shut.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Old Bray was scolded again, but he seemed used to it and shrugged.
With a nonchalant expression, he took out a key and opened the door.
