He then started the engine and followed Nathan’s car.


    Nathan drove rapidly, his speed reflecting his restlessness and anxiety.


    Based on the timing and distance, Lucinda should have reached the kindergarten earlier than both him and Kyson, but she wasn’t there.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    And now, he couldn’t reach her.


    She was missing!


    The thought that something terrible might have happened to Lucinda unsettled Nathan.


    He calcted the distance from the Simmons Group to the kindergarten and chose a different expressway.


    He was determined that nothing bad should happen to Lucinda.


    He would never allow it!


    The two cars sped along the expressway.


    Nathan reconnected Lonnie with his Bluetooth earphones.


    “I need Lucinda’s location right now.


    Hurry up!”


    He almost growled thest word, his voice tense with urgency.


    Lonnie scrambled to update Lucinda’s location.


    After rapid keystrokes, he inhaled sharply before speaking.


    “Mr.


    Payne, we’ve lost her.


    She’s gone!”


    Nathan was silent for a moment before barking, “Keep trying!”


    “Yes, sir…”


    Background noise filtered through from the National Security Bureau, where it sounded like a police officer was discussing something with Lonnie.


    Then, with a trembling voice, Lonnie reported, “Mr.


    Payne, it appears that… something has happened to Mrs.


    Payne.


    ”


    Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Nathan held his breath, saying nothing.


    Lonnie continued, “The traffic bureau just reported a major traffic ident.


    It urred in the Bay Tunnel.


    There was a_ serious collision involving three cars and two lorries.


    Ambnces have arrived, and they’re rescuing the injured, but the casualties are still being assessed.


    The traffic bureau has dispatched investigators to the scene.


    Mrs.


    Payne’sst known location was in the Bay Tunnel…”


    With reddened eyes and forced calm, Nathan requested, “Send me the exact location of the ident in the Bay Tunnel.


    ”


    “Yes, sir.


    Don’t worry, Mrs.


    Payne… she’ll be fine.


    ”


    Unconvinced by the reassurance, Nathan pressed the elerator harder, propelling the armored car swiftly along the expressway.


    He noticed a luxury car trailing him.


    It was Kyson’s car.


    Before Nathan could initiate a call, Kyson contacted him.


    The call was answered instantly.


    Kyson’s concern was obvious as he asked, “Nathan, I’ve never seen you this flustered.


    Is Lucinda alright?”
