Chapter 1385 Mom, Where Are You?


    They first arrived at themunity garden, searching every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of


    Kimberly.


    Abel recalled what Maxwell had said, that he had already searched the entiremunity, so they


    headed straight to the intersection outside themunity.


    This ce was always bustling with unlicensed taxis and peopleing in and out of themunity,


    all essentially under their noses.


    “What was Aunt Kimberly wearing today?”


    “In the morning, she had on a coffee-colored half-sleeved shirt and ck pants. I don’t know if she


    changed in the afternoon.”


    “Okay, I got it.”


    “It’s all my fault; I should have stayed at home.”


    “Don’t me yourself. Aunt Kimberly is suffering from an illness. It’s not your fault.”


    “But if I had stayed at home, Mom wouldn’t have gone out.”


    “Can you guarantee that? She might have gone out to buy groceries or visit a neighbor. Would you


    have followed her every step of the way?”


    “But, Abel, I’m so scared.”


    “It’s going to be alright, I promise. Trust me!” Abel pressed her little hand against his lips.


    The streets on both sides of themunity gate were lined with unlicensed taxis under the streetlights.


    Abel instructed Emmeline, and they began to inquire separately with the taxi drivers, describing their


    mother’s appearance.


    Sure enough, after questioning several drivers, one of them said, “There was indeed ady matching


    that description. She took George’s car in the afternoon, and she wanted to ride in mine, but my car


    already had a passenger, so she took the next one, George’s car


    “Where’s George? Which car is his?”


    The taxi driver nced around. “He’s not here; he might have finished work and gone home.”


    “Do you have his contact information?”


    At that, the taxi driver pointed at a gray Toyota and said. “That car belongs to our boss; he should have


    it.”

    Abel rushed over to the Toyota.


    The Toyota driver found George’s homendline number in his phonebook.


    Abel called and exined the situation concisely.


    The person who answered the call was George himself, and after a brief pause, he said, “Yes, there


    was such ady. It was around 5 p.m., and she took my car to Altney Steel Train Station.”


    “The train station? What was she doing there?”


    “I asked her the same thing. The train station has been out of service for several years. I said, ‘What


    are you going there for?”


    “What did she say?”


    “Thedy said she was just going there to sit quietly.”


    After hanging up the phone, Abel said to Emmeline, “Let’s go to Altney Steel Train Station.”


    Emmeline knew why her mother had gone there. Her mother had once said that when she got married


    to her father, they were married at the train station.


    She said she wore a pure white wedding dress with two shiny braids, and when the train stopped at the


    Altney Steel station tform, and the doors opened, she stood in front of Maxwell, the most beautiful


    bride in the world.


    Altney Steel Train Station had once been glorious, but since the cancetion of passenger services


    several years ago, it had be overgrown and deste. The only active route was the coal train line


    from New Lullin to Altney Steel.


    There were no lights on the tform.


    The tform stretched for about a mile from end to end, and the two of them ran from one end to the


    other, yet there was no sign of their mother.


    Emmeline copsed in despair on the tform, sobbing loudly, “Mom! Where are you, Mom?!”


    Abel stood in the night breeze, looking around in bewilderment. Aunt Kimberly, where in the world are


    you?


    In the distance, the sound of a train whistle roared as the coal train approached.


    Within about a mile on both sides of the tform, dozens of tall floodlights simultaneously lit up,


    weing the approaching train.


    Abel saw a tiny figure. On the tracks about two to three hundred yards to the west of the tform, there


    was a crouched figure.


    Abel frowned and looked carefully. He wasn’t mistaken. It was a person! But he couldn’t tell if it was


    Kimberly or not.


    Regardless, there was no time to confirm. The train was approaching from that direction.


    In the distance, the headlights of the lotive were already visible.


    “Emma, wait here.” Abel jumped down from the tform and ran toward the figure along the tracks.


    Emmeline also saw the figure that Abel was rushing toward. She climbed down from the tform and


    followed, stumbling and falling several times on the sleepers and gravel.


    She didn’t care about the pain; she just wanted her mother, only her mother. The fear of not finding her


    mother had already engulfed her like a world-ending darkness and despair.


    The rumbling of the train grew louder, and the vibrations on the tracks became palpable.


    The headlight of the train was rapidly approaching..


    Two attendants on the tform were waving small red gs and shouting, “What are you doing? Are


    you trying to get yourself killed? Leave! The train ising into the station!”


    Abel had already arrived at the end of the two to three-hundred yards tracks.


    The figure he saw was indeed Kimberly! But the train was roaring toward them! (2)
