The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 Remain Calm And Clear Headed

“Got it.” Xavian hung up the phone and relayed Natalie’s instruction to Franklin and Clayton.

“We have to remain calm in this situation.” Xavian cast Franklin and Clayton a sober glance. “Let’s head back to the assembly point and join the teacher and the other students. We have to ensure our safety and not give Mommy and Daddy any more trouble.”

Despite Franklin’s and Clayton’s concern for Sophia, they followed Natalie’s instructions, knowing they couldn’t contribute any help in the search.

The boys dragged their feet as they returned to the assembly point. They had a crestfallen look on their faces.

Natalie’s expression turned grim after she hung up the phone.

Yandel noticed the change in her expression after she picked up the call. “Boss, what’s wrong? you don’t look too good.”

“Sophia had gone missing. The boys suspected someone had kidnapped her.” Natalie ordered, “I want you to assign our men to search for Sophia now.”

“Understood.” Yandel instantly carried out her order.

Feeling the intense anxiousness in her gut, she couldn’t sit still.

Even though Sophia wasn’t her biological daughter, she had considered the little girl as one of her own. It was difficult for her to stay clear-headed without knowing anything about Sophia’s current situation.

The memory and pain of losing the twins five years ago surfaced in her mind.

Ever since her first meeting with Sophia at the airport, she couldn’t help but fall in love with the adorable little girl.

Sophia was like her tail. The little girl had always followed her everywhere. When she looked over her shoulder, the child would call out “Mommy” softly.

She was about to inform Samuel about Sophia’s disappearance when her phone rang.

Looking at the screen, she noted it was an unfamiliar number.

However, she could hear Sophia’s terrified sobs in the background once the woman stopped speaking.

“It hurts. It hurts.”

Sophia knew the crazy woman was on the phone with Natalie. She didn’t want the latter to be worried, so she tried to suppress her cries.

Despite the soft cries, Natalie’s heart still ached for her.

She picked up a utility knife from her desk and dragged it along her arm. Feeling the pain in her arm and seeing the blood flowing from the wound, she finally managed to calm down.

That woman has no control over her emotions. She might even be crazy. I have to make sure I don’t make a single wrong move to bring Sophia home safe and sound.

Natalie drawled out her words, “Even though I don’t know who you are, I don’t think your goal is to die with her.”
