Chapter 374: The Whereabouts of the Child


    With one phone call made by Rex, the police do not care whether it has been 24 hours or not any


    longer. They get to the scene immediately, and start their inspection which includes the retrieval of the


    surveince videos.


    Waiting is hard to endure, which makes people feel cold and miserable. The atmosphere of the scene


    is so cold, as if it is filled by ayer of ice. Rex’splexion is unprecedentedly unsightly. The thought


    of Adair in danger makes his heart pound an unsteady rhythm.


    As minutes pass, it feels like half a century has passed as no one speaks, as if they are treading on


    thin ice. But then the police officeres up to him and hands him the electronic data, “Mister Rex, the


    surveince camera of the side door caught the figure of the child. He was picked up by a woman and


    carried to a white Volkswagen, the license te number is 3895. They left from the back door of the


    community, before merging into the traffic and driving onto the main road. We still need to check the


    surveince camera for their destination.”


    Rex quietly listens to what he says, and memorizes the license number. “Check who the owner of the


    car is, and tell me the final destination of the car as soon as possible. If you can’t find it, tell me from


    where the surveince is lost.”


    “Yes”. The police man answers.


    After the police leaves, Lily nervously leans over. “What did you find out?”


    “We have found the car that Adair was taken in. It won’t be difficult to find the owner of the car. Have


    patience.”


    As soon as she hears this, Lily feels her heart tighten. On the sofa, Bree sits and weeps silently while


    ming herself in heart. “It is all my fault. If I hadn’t brought Adair downstairs, or if I had continuously


    held his hand, this wouldn’t have happened. He is still so small; it’s all my fault...”


    After spending these two days together, Bree developed a deep affection for Adair, who had also


    started calling her grandmother. Now that he has disappeared from right under her nose, she really


    hates herself for allowing this to happen.


    Rex’s heart throbs, but his eyes hold no me against her. “Auntie, don’t worry about it. I’ll find him and


    bring him back safe and sound. This was obviously nned and couldn’t have been prevented.”


    He can’t understand who would dare to take Adair away.


    It hasn’t been long since he returned home. There aren’t many who could have pulled off something


    like this. Except for them, the only other people who know about Adair are Karl and his Family. Of the


    others, Vivian is the only one, but she would never do something this rashly.


    Even if she is shameless, her family cares much about their reputation.


    For the moment, Adair’s whereabouts arecking and all they can do is to wait for a lead from the


    police.


    Lily’s life has changed for the worst from the moment her child disappeared. Her thoughts are about


    finding Adair, and nothing else. But as time goes by, she starts to panic.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “Rex, nothing will happen to the child, right?” she asks in a low voice so that only Rex can hear.


    Pursing his lips, he loosens up after a while. “No, believe me.” He says to her and also himself, his


    voice firm.


    As time goes by, every second is a big ordeal for the both of them.


    Finally, the police call with the news that the vehicle has been tracked down and found!


    Bree suddenly stands up from the sofa. “Where is the child?” she asks excitedly.


    The police man looks at the address on his mobile phone, speechless and a bit embarrassed to look at


    the tall man. His manner is undoubtedly upsetting in the eyes of others.


    Unable to repress his mood, Rex grits his teeth. “Speak.”


    “In, in…your home, Mister Rex”. The police man stutters before repeating the address. It wasn’t Rex’s


    current home address, but the address of his old home – his grandparents’ home.


    This address isn’t familiar to others, but Rex is very familiar with it.


    As soon as he hears this, he freezes in ce. He doesn’t really know what he feels, but his heart that


    has felt tight for a long time suddenly rxes when he knows that the child is okay.


    But in the next second, it is as if he is being mocked. The worry, effort and tender affection now seem


    like aplete joke.


    He goes over it again and again. But it turns out that it is his family who has taken his child.


    The people present are obviously very stunned by this sentence.


    Bree raises a finger at him. “You, did you take Adair away?”


    Lily feels ridiculous as she looks at Rex’s face withplicated expressions. She is speechless. He


    didn’t know. The ones who have done something wrong are his family, and not him.


    He doesn’t know how to make peace with the kind of embarrassment and self-me he feels. He feels


    worse than anyone else as it is something he doesn’t want.


    Abby sees that no one is speaking a word, and forces herself to help resolve it. “Lily, now that Adair


    has been found, you can go get him. Uncle and Auntie, it’s okay, you can rest assured.”


    Haring her words, Lily strides over to Rex and looks him straight into his eyes. “Let’s go. I should go to


    your old house too.”


    Rex feels very embarrassed as he doesn’t know how to exin what has happened to Bree and Harry.


    Lifting his own eyes, theynd on the two pairs of old eyes in front of him. “Uncle and Auntie, you can


    rest assured. I will bring Adair back safely.” He manages to squeeze out before turning around and


    leaving.


    In all these years, no matter what had happened, he’d never felt this defeated and fled before.


    Downstairs, Lily gets in the car and fastens her seatbelt. In the driver’s seat, Rex closes his eyes and


    heaves a deep breath before opening them up again. “You’re right, I shouldn’t have told them about the


    child.”


    Lily doesn’t want to take her anger out on him, but then she thinks about the fear her child must be


    feeling and how he has been wronged. There is no one else around, so she doesn’t hold back. “I


    expected it from the beginning, but you never believed me.”


    The patriarch and matriarch of Rex’s family have a very wrong preconceived idea about her. In those


    years they had been very critical of her, but now she has a child, and if considered carefully, it is not


    surprises that they were able to take the child away today.


    Rex starts the car. The speed is very fast as the streamlined car shuttles down the road. His are


    gloomy, exuding frightful coldness.


    Lily clutches the safety belt to her chest, and in spite of the fear she feels, the urge to see Adair


    overwhelms her, so she doesn’t make Rex slow down the car.


    They fortunately arrive safely.


    Lily doesn’t wait, and gets out of the car before rushing into the house. A servant attempts to stop her,


    but before he reaches out his hand, he is stopped by Rex’s gaze.


    After so many years working for Rex’s Family, he’d never before seen him look like this. The servant


    immediately stands aside and does not dare to say more.


    As Lily enters the living room, she sees a child sitting straight on the sofa with his hands on his knees


    while his two little feet hanging in the air. Seeing her, he jumps down and runs into her arms.


    “Mom!”
