Chapter 236
Since Mount Froston was a tourist spot, there were a lot of places for camping. Hence, there were shops that rented out tents and other camping necessities. After Selena had bought everything, she started setting up the tent with the three children.
During sundown, the tent was finally set up.
Feeling their tummy grumbling, Selena led the three of them to a small shop in the mountains. As it was a last minute decision to camp here for the night, they didn’t bring enough food, so they had to settle with cup noodles for dinner. Fortunately, the shop offered hot water and a place to eat. Though the shop was shabby, the children were still happily gobbling up their food.
Once Juniper was done with her food, she said, “Mommy, I need to go to the washroom.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Washroom? It’s that way.” Pointing toward the washroom, Selena noticed there were no lights in the washroom. With that, she requested the shopkeeper to take note of the children while she led Juniper to the washroom.
Standing up from his seat, Joaquin needed to go to the washroom too, so he turned around to ask Jameson, “Jamie, do you want to go to the washroom?”
“Nope.”
“Don’t run around. Stay here until either Miss Yard or I get back, you hear me?” said Joaquin as he walked off to the washroom on his own.
“Alright!” replied Jameson obediently, and he continued to stuff himself with more delicious noodles.
Considering that this was Jameson’s first time eating cup noodles, Joaquin figured his little brother wouldn’t leave without finishing it up, thus thought it wouldn’t be a problem to leave him here for a second.
Juniper wasn’t feeling too well, and had a little diarrhea. Just then, Selena received an urgent email on her phone.
“Juniper, I’ll be out here waiting. If you’re done, call me, alright?”
“Okay!”
When Selena had finished replying to that urgent email, Juniper came out, and so both of them went back to the shop, but they realized the table was empty!
Startled, Selena was about to run to ask the shopkeeper, then she noticed Joaquin came walking out of the boy’s washroom. “Jojo, where’s Jamie?”
“He didn’t go to the washroom with me,” said Joaquin as he gazed toward the chair, but Jameson was nowhere to be seen.
Heading toward the shopkeeper, Selena asked whether they had seen the child, but they stammered an explanation, saying they were busy with customers and didn’t notice the child.
After searching through the boy’s washroom and the tent, Selena still couldn’t find Jameson!
“Jamie!” The three of them went searching for Jameson around the mountaintop, all the while calling out his name.
Initially, Selena wasn’t too frightened because she figured the child was just being playful and probably got attracted to something. However, the area around the mountaintop wasn’t a big place, so after they had searched through once and still didn’t find him, Selena got more worried. Looking toward the downhill, it was all pitch dark, and she couldn’t see a thing.
At that, she felt her heart lurched. What if the child accidentally fell off the cliff…
Trying to suppress a shiver, Selena immediately called up Pierre. But same as before, his phone was still unreachable, so she contacted Niall.
The moment Niall heard the news, he stuttered, “What?! Miss… Missing?”
He was the one who actually brought out the two Young Masters. If anything bad happened, he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow!
“You have to calm down. Since the child was there alone for a short few minutes, I bet he hasn’t left this place yet. Come here now together with your men and seal the entry of this mountain!”
Though worried sick, Selena still managed to remain calm and rational at this point of time. “Mr. Sanders, all this happened because of me. So whatever happens, I’ll bear the responsibility on my own. You don’t have to be afraid. What’s crucial now is to find the child!”
“Alright, I’ll arrange for it right away!”
Not long later, Niall arrived with all his men. They had sealed all the entry and exit of the mountain and had people searching through the area.
