Chapter 1004
ire said, "Please do not end the call yet. Please rate my service after the beep, press one for
very satisfied, press two for satisfied, press three for not satisfied.”
Charlie wailed, "One! Very satisfied!" 4
ire smiled gleefully and said, "Dear, thank you for your rating. This is the end of our
conversation, see you again next time." i

That night, Charlie was tossing and turning, unable to sleep well. 5
Although he had only been upgraded a level, this was the first time he had shared a bed with ire
since their wedding. 1
Despite that, they were actually sleeping within the respective boundary. They used their own
pillows and tugged in their own nkets.
Of course, Charlie didn''t dare to cross the 38th parallel north between them. Otherwise, he would
be extremely devastated if he was demoted one level in a n instant! 6
On the other hand, ire couldn’t fall asleep too. She was very nervous and in jitters.
Her heart was thumping so violently it almost jumped out of her ribcage although she and Charlie
slept in
their own nkets without even touching each other. 1
Well, after all, this was the first time she shared a bed with a man after she slept in a different room
from her parents when she was a child. That exined her nervous feelings. 7Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
They spent a long time trying to fall asleep, their minds running wild with anxiety and confusion, and
eventually, they fell asleep one after another.
The next morning, when Charlie opened his eyes, ire was nowhere to be found, i
He then heard the noisesing from the bathroom which indicated that ire was taking a
shower. 5
ire cared about her personal hygiene very much. She would take a bath every morning and
evening, which did not surprise Charlie at all. 1
He got up and stretched his body. When he was about t o get off the bed, his phone under his pillow
suddenly buzzed. 1
He retrieved the phone and found that it was a call from Stephanie. Her frantic voice resonated into
his ear as soon as he answered the call, "Charlie, something has happened at the orphanage!" 1
Charlie sat upright and asked, "What’s the matter?!
What happened? Calm down, speak slowly."
Stephanie started crying, "Ten children are missing! W e suspect that they''ve been kidnapped!” 5
"What?!" Charlie was both anxious and angry, he quickly asked, "Steph, what happened? Tell me
specifically, quick!"
"This morning, when the morning-shift matron in charge of infants and toddlers came to take over
the shift with the night-shift matron, she found the nightshift matron unconscious and all ten children
in the nursery gone! The matron is at the hospital now and the doctor said that she was given a
strong anesthetic!" 1
Charlie’s face flushed with fury and resentment, he chided, "Who did such a brazen thing! How dare
they kidnap the orphans?!” 6
Stephanie said while sobbing, "Actually, it has happened before, but we discovered their vile
attempt in time to stop it. Human traffickers are very rampant nowadays-not only at the orphanage,
but they also aim the children at the hospital, in people''s houses, and even on the streets in broad
daylight!" 1
Stephanie continued with a choking voice, "The main reason for this is that the trafficking business
is too profitable and lucrative for them. They can easily trade each child for one hundred thousand.
The rich and wealthy who cannot bear children are willing to pay a higher price for the good-looking
ones...” 9
Charlie quickly asked, "So what''s the situation now? Did you call the police?"
Stephanie replied, "Yes, Mrs. Lewis and the director have called the police this morning, and the
case has been filed for investigation. But the police spected that the night-shift matron was
drugged at around 3 a m, which means the children were kidnapped four hours ago. They may
have already left Aurous Hill or even the province in these four hours!"
