Alexis reacted a beat slower than Cedron.
Seeing that the man had already walked to the top of the hill, he only reacted and hurriedly followed him at a fast pace.
“Mr. Navarro wait for me, I’m coming with you!”
The two of them went over the hill, and there was a vast grassland with no cover, but there was no sign of Anna.
“Strange,” Alexis wondered, “how come Miss Newman has disappeared?”
There wasn’t even a place to hide, could it be that Miss Newman could teleport?
The thought popped up, but Alexis dismissed it.
How could she be a teleporter? This wasn’t a fantasy world.
The string in Cedron’s heart was already dead taut, and he gritted his teeth so hard that his temples were pounding.
Anna just said that this place is full of swamps, if you get stuck in it, you will surely die.
Then she is now …
No, it couldn’t be!
“Split up and look.” Cedron ordered.
Alexis gave an oh-so-subtle cry and started to run forward, within a few steps she was stopped again by Cedron, “Watch your step, there’s a swamp in this place.”
As the words landed, Alexis almost bounced straight up, her eyes filled with fear and panic, “Mr. Navarro why didn’t you say so earlier, this is very dangerous, this place is in the middle of nowhere, there’s no one here, and if something did happen, there wouldn’t even be a chance to call for help.”
“Then why don’t you look for it?” Cedron’s tone was a few shades colder, “If something happens, you’re responsible?”
Alexis was scared and shrunk her neck, immediately starting to look for it.
While searching, he also asked, “Mr. Navarro, why did you let Miss Newman go over the hill by herself when you knew this place was dangerous?”
Why?
Because Anna asked him if he was concerned about himself, I guess.
He’d had a moment of tough talk, and that’s why he’d pushed Anna into danger.
Damn it, he knew it, he was the Calamity around Anna, whenever Anna came in contact with himself, nothing good would come of it.
Cedron secretly made a decision in his heart, after he found Anna today, he would divorce Anna tomorrow no matter what methods he used.
After the divorce, he would stay far away from Anna, the farther the better, so as not to bring any more danger to her.
The first order of business, though, was to find Anna first!
Cedron thought and circled around the neighborhood again, still no sign of Anna.
Instead, Alexis came running back in a hurry with a cell phone covered in sludge in her hand.
“Mr. Navarro look, is this Miss Newman’s cell phone?” Alexis asked.
Cedron’s pupils shrank violently and stared at the cell phone dead on, his tone had begun to tremble uncontrollably, “Where did you find it?”
“Right up ahead by the mud puddle, I only saw the cell phone, no sign of Miss Newman.”
“Take me there.” Cedron ordered.
Alexis hurriedly led the way.
It was a small mud puddle on the side of a small hill, still surrounded by scattered white bones of animals that looked extra creepy.
Cedron stared dead at the mud puddle in front of him, those eyes already so red that they were almost dripping blood.
“Mr. Navarro, don’t be so agitated, there is no sign of Miss Newman around here, it shouldn’t be here, maybe Miss Newman just accidentally lost her cell phone?”
Although he said this on his lips, he was actually quite unsure in his heart.
Cedron’s heart also knew very well that this was just something Alexis said to comfort herself.
If he really lost his cell phone by accident, how could he be wrapped in mud like this?
I am afraid that she was struggling and trying to shake it out, in order to be able to let others find her existence.
And Anna at the moment …
Cedron set his eyes on the mud puddle in front of him, and without hesitation, resolutely went in.
