Chapter 260 The Girl Who Disappeared
Stunned, Sion stood frozen in place, unprepared for this news. The report slipped from his hands and fluttered to the floor before being picked up by David who also looked shocked at what he saw.
He had thought that Morgan was just some troublemaking girl, who had shown up out of nowhere but now it seemed like she did have blood ties to him.
“Mr Carroll!” David’s voice trembled with excitement as he held onto the report.
“Please leave,” Sion said without looking up from where he stood behind his desk, still trying to process everything that had just happened.
David hesitated for a moment before leaving quietly with no further words exchanged between them.
Sion’s whole body shook as if trying to find balance while leaning against his desk, unable to comprehend how this could be possible.
How could Morgan be his child? He hadn’t slept with Aurora during their four years of marriage. Though he once ended up having sex with Nevaeh when he was drunk, Nevaeh’s child had been miscarried long ago.
So where did Morgan come from?
His mind spun wildly trying to make sense of everything when suddenly an untimely phone call interrupted him.
Donna was calling about something urgent.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sion! Something terrible has happened… Missy is missing!” Donna cried into her phone sounding panicked beyond belief.
“What?!” Sion exclaimed incredulously upon hearing such news. He had just found out that Morgan was his biological daughter, and the sudden news made him feel like he was dreaming. His voice was cold and harsh as Donna trembled in fear.
“I didn’t take her out… I went to wash some dishes and when I came back she was gone. I’ve looked everywhere but she’s nowhere to be found.” She broke down into tears towards the end of her sentence, causing Sion to realize that he had been too harsh earlier.
He calmed down and asked calmly, “How long has it been?”
“Not long…”
Sion furrowed his eyebrows and left the office quickly after gesturing at David.
An hour ago, Aurora did not attend the office today because yesterday’s failed operation made her increasingly anxious. She couldn’t afford to wait any longer, and she had to take Morgan away immediately. Since nothing else worked, she would have to be straightforward about it.
Judging by the time, Sion should have already gone to work. There should only be Donna at home if everything went according to plan.
Aurora got into a car with Theodore and looked at him seriously, “Are you ready?”
“I’m ready Mommy!”
His mission for today was saving his sister with Mommy!
“Good.”
Aurora took a deep breath before saying, “It all depends on you whether we can save Momo or not.”
Theodore hacked into the surveillance system of their neighbourhood while waiting outside Sion’s house for an opportunity.
Morgan received Theodore’s message early on saying that he would come over secretly today for them to play together. Although she felt suspicious about it, she still happily agreed anyway because it had been a long time since she last saw her brother. Of course, she welcomed him coming over.
However, she still needed to be careful.
When Donna walked into the kitchen, Morgan seized this opportunity. She quickly turned on her phone watch and sent a message back. The response came soon after. Morgan glanced towards where the kitchen was, and then confidently walked up towards the door and opened it.
“Theo…” She called out joyfully, but suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind, picked her up, and carried her away without making any sound behind them. It seemed like nothing ever happened as they closed the door silently.
Inside the villa, Morgan pouted while looking at both Aurora and Theodore across from each other. She wasn’t very happy right now.
“Theo only said he was coming to play with her.” Morgan thought. “But he brought Mommy along to catch me! They planned this so I wouldn’t have any time to prepare!” She was a little angry, but then she realized that it had been a long time since she had seen her brother and mother together. Now that they were reunited, she wasn’t that upset.
However, she wondered if Sion would be worried about her. Morgan bit her lip and cautiously asked, “Mommy, can I call Daddy to say goodbye?” Otherwise, when Sion found out that she was missing, he would worry and search for her everywhere like last time.
“No.” Aurora firmly refused. She had worked hard to bring this girl out here. How could she let her talk to Sion on the phone and arouse his suspicion? Although Morgan seemed fond of him now, children’s memories were usually based on novelty. As long as the person was not around them anymore, they would quickly forget.
Aurora sat down beside Morgan and comforted her by saying, “Sweetheart, be good. There are bad guys outside now so we should be careful.”
Morgan kept silent with a lowered head because, in Aurora’s words, those bad buys were including her dad. However, in Morgan’s heart, Sion wasn’t a bad person at all. Her restless hands stirred again as she wanted to call Sion but couldn’t disobey Aurora either.
“Has Daddy already noticed that I’m gone? Will he come looking for me?” Morgan thought to herself.
Morgan pouted slightly feeling unhappy inside, while Aurora felt sorry seeing how upset the child looked. She continued persuading gently, “Do you know Uncle Cameron misses you very much too? Don’t you want to see him?”
She tried sounding gentle hoping it would make things better for both of them, “You can stay at home with Theo during this period until mommy arranges everything properly then we’ll send you back to Halberk where Uncle Cameron is.”
Things were tense right now-Sion must have sent many men after them so it wasn’t wise sending them abroad yet until Sion gave up searching for Morgan first before sending them away safely.
Her tone left no room for negotiation which made Morgan feel helpless without knowing what else could be done. Theodore saw his sister feeling miserable and couldn’t bear watching anymore. But he sided with his mom, thinking that Sion was a dangerous bad guy and that they couldn’t leave Morgan to him anymore.
Aurora closed her eyes to avoid the little girl’s pitiful stare and said, “Theo, take Momo upstairs.”
Theodore then held his sister’s hand and left.
Sion soon returned home after work. Donna got up from the sofa in the lounge after hearing Sion come back.
“Sion! You’re back. I… I…”
“I don’t blame you.”
Sion walked towards Morgan’s bedroom while frowning.
“Did you look for her everywhere around the house?” asked he.
He had just known that Morgan was his daughter by blood today, and she just happened to disappear. How could it be so coincident?
