Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 69

Days passed. Samantha was missing Ethan so much that she eagerly awaited his return on a Thursday.

While inside the kitchen of the First Diamond Hotel, Samantha repeatedly checked the time.

Before Ethan left, he told that a private jet was unavailable, and thus, he and John took a shared flight, booking first class on the way back to Braeton from Laton City.

Killing the time, Samantha kept herself busy, randomly tasting how the chefs have prepared the dishes for their lunch service.

When one of the station chefs, Jane, reported late for her shift, she came into the kitchen mumbling, "Sorry I'm late. There is this big traffic due to fire trucks and ambulances, rushing into the airport. Apparently, there was a flight that crashed on the runway at Braeton airport!"

That immediately shifted Samantha's attention to Jane. She frowned and asked, "A plane crashed at the airport?"

"I don't know the details. I just heard people talk about it on the way here," answered Jane.

Samantha did not know why, but she felt her heart racing. She immediately stepped outside the kitchen and went to the lobby to hear about the news through the internet.

It was a plane, coming from Laton City that was unable to bring out its wheels as it landed at the airport. It resulted in the plane to crash landing on the runway.

From the concierge area, Samantha covered her mouth in fear. Her eyes widened in horror as she exclaimed, "Oh, my god! Ethan's on that plane!"

"Really, Chef Sam?" Asked Cindy, one of the front desk.

When Samantha could not reach Ethan's phone, she frantically called for Edgar, asking him to take her to the airport with him.

She only left Cindy a message for everyone in the kitchen, telling them how she had sped off to the airport upon Edgar's arrival.

Panic and fear drowned her heart as Edgar drove her to the airport. She wound up crying as they were on the road while still in her chef uniform.

From inside the car, Edgar kept looking at Samantha from the rearview mirror and told, "Mrs. Wright, from what I heard, there weren't any casualties during the crash. The plane was already in its slow landing and the crew managed to get everyone out of the plane... I'm sure, Mr. Wright is okay. All the more, they will prioritize those who are in the first-class cabin."

"I." With tears running down her face, she said, "I can't help it Edgar, I can't seem to reach Ethan."

Samantha easily looked back at her memorable weeks with Ethan, being his wife, and she honestly could not imagine being without Ethan. All the more, the thought of her children losing their father. The idea utterly made her break down in tears.

"I'm just so afraid, Edgar. I - I can't help but be so worried." Placing a hand on her chest, she revealed, "My heart hurt so much. I just want to know that he is fine."

Edgar had to repeatedly console Samantha, who was clearly alarming about the news.

Arriving at the airport, Edgar accompanied Samantha to the arrivals area, especially speaking to representatives of the airline.

There was a long line of other concerned individuals whose family members were on the same plane.

It was chaotic. Samantha was not the only one who was panicking and being concerned for their loved ones.

On one side, a lady in a megaphone was announcing that the passengers were still being attended to. Some are still going through security checks and will be out in a few minutes. "Rest assured, there was no casualty during the crash. We just need to make sure there are no serious injuries, so we have a medical team checking on each of the passengers before they are brought out."

Together with Edgar, Samantha lingered on one of the benches, constantly inspecting passengers who were exiting the doors. However, after nearly an hour passed, there was no sign of Ethan.

It made Samantha utterly nervous that she returned to get in line, hoping to speak to the airline representative and hear about Ethan.

It took several minutes for Samantha to finally get in front of the counter and while there, the first thing she said was, "Ethan Wright. My husband was on the flight from Laton, riding on first class. Please, I have been waiting for almost an hour, but he has not gone through the arrivals area!"

"I'm sorry about that. Let me check for you," said the lady.

"Ethan Wright?" The airline representative probed, raising a brow. "The CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation is your husband, miss?"
