?Chapter 943:
Sadie unfolded the note. A single string of numbers was written on it—a phone number.
“What is this?”
Nathan answered readily. “It’s the contact number of a maid who used to work for your parents. She disappeared with them all those years ago. It took a lot of digging, but I finally found this lead. You can contact her and see if you might be able to uncover what really happened in the past.”
Sadie’s fingers tightened around that small piece of paper, her heart racing.
Nathan noted her serious expression and ventured, “About our so-called engagement, by the way…” He scratched his nose and offered a sheepish smile.
“I’ll make a public announcement to cancel it in a month or so. We can say we weren’tpatible, or maybee up with a better reason. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your reputation isn’t tarnished in any way.”
Sadie nodded absentmindedly. The engagement meant nothing to her. Her gaze was fixed on the phone number, her hand trembling ever so slightly.
Her parents had been missing for seventeen years. She hadn’t heard a single word from them in all that time, hadn’t found a single trace. A part of her had evene to believe that they were no longer alive. But now, she finally had a clue in her hands. Even if the chances were slim, she would cling to that tiny sliver of hope.
She had to find them, no matter what!
After all, she had made a promise to her grandmother before she passed. She would find her parents and bring them home, no matter what it took. Even if all she found were their remains, she would still bring them home.
Sadie’s chest swelled with a myriad of emotions. Then suddenly, a wave of nausea came over her, and she felt as though all the strength was drained from her body. Her vision blurred. The room spun.
Your imagination takes flight on g?lnσν???s
Without any warning, she copsed in a faint.
“Sadie!” Nathan cried out in rm, stunned by this sudden turn of events.
What on earth was happening to her?
Why did Sadie copse all of a sudden?
Nathan wasted no time. He lunged forward and caught her in his arms before she fell forward to the floor.
He was immediately startled by her temperature—her body was burning!
Thoroughly rmed now, he pressed his palm against her forehead. Sure enough, she was running a fever.
Nathan’s heart skipped a beat, and he practically felt the color drain from his face.
Sadie was his lifeline—the only one who could ensure his sess. He couldn’t afford to let anything happen to her!
Acting quickly, he carefully picked her up and rushed out of the suite. If something happened to Sadie, he would lose all hope of ever taking over the Higgins Group. His efforts would all go down the drain!
