The next morning, Lauren got up early and prepared to meet the parents that Yulia had found.
Quinn also got up early today to go for an audition.
It had only been a few days since the advertisement was broadcast, but many investors had already approached Paul, hoping that they could work with Quinn.
Paul picked a few better scripts for Quinn to choose from. In the end, he decided to go audition for a drama series involving teleporting.
Quinn left the house without breakfast. When he left the house, he was still memorizing the lines for the audition and didn���t greet anyone.
Franklin turned on the morning news and ate his breakfast while listening to the financial news for that day.
“Lauren, where are you going today?”
Lauren had an egg stuffed in her mouth and was in a hurry to swallow it. Unexpectedly, she choked on the egg yolk instead.
Franklin hurriedly handed her a glass of milk.
Phew, she’s back to life. If she became the first host in history to choke to death on an egg yolk, she would probably be laughed at.
“I’m going to Auntie Yulia’s place today.”
As he was worried about Lauren, Franklin instructed Ben to keep him informed of Lauren’s progress at all times.
“Can you not get involved in such a dangerous matter? There are police officers around to do this.”
He felt frightened when Lauren locked him in his room, while she went to catch a ghost alone the last time. Lauren was still such a young child. Even if she was capable, what if something happened to her?
“But the police can’t find her. Those mothers who lost their children are very pitiful. I must help them.”
Wait a minute…
Lauren was suddenly enlightened by what she had just said.
Up until now, whether it was Yulia, Sophia from yesterday, or the few parents she was going to meet today, they were all mothers.
Lauren had never heard Yulia mention her husband. After Isabella went missing yesterday, Sophia’s husband also didn’t show up.
Once this thought popped up in her mind, Lauren couldn’t sit still.
“I’m not eating now. I’m leaving!”
“Mr. Carson, let’s go!”
Before Franklin could finish the porridge in his mouth, Lauren had already run out. Franklin turned his head around, and not even a strand of her hair could be seen.
What Ben said made some sense, Lauren was indeed very fast at the critical moment.
After Lauren got into the car, she kept urging Ben to drive quickly.
“Got it, Miss Torres. Let me insert the car keys first.”
The car slowly drove out of the garage. After driving down two streets, Lauren realized that there was a black car following them.
At this moment, the plot of the television series that she had watched with the maids all came to her mind.
‘Someone wanted to kidnap us? I am not afraid!’ Lauren thought.
Ben looked at Lauren in the mirror.
“Miss Torres, why did you suddenly roll up your sleeves? Are you feeling hot? The air conditioner had already been turned to the lowest.”
“Mr. Carson, look behind us. Is there a car following us? Is it the mafia? Maybe they know my ability, so they specially came to assassinate me!”
Lauren’s expression was serious. She frowned, and the word “fighting” was written on her small face.
Ben could not help but laugh.
“The people in the car behind are the bodyguards that Master Franklin had arranged for Miss Torres.”
“Master Franklin is worried about your safety, so he specially selected these people to follow us. If you need anything, feel free to instruct them. However, they will not affect our daily operations.”
It was not the mafia that she had imagined. The passion that Lauren had just ignited was extinguished.
Lauren arrived at the cafe that Yulia had pre-arranged. She was the first to arrived as she was feeling anxious. The others had yet to arrive.
When Lauren entered the cafe, she specifically looked for the group of bodyguards, but she could not find them! As expected, they were well-trained.
Yulia soon arrived with a few women.
Their eyes had the same blank and dead silence that Yulia had at that time.
After Yulia’s introduction, Lauren found out that some of their children had gone missing two years ago, while others had gone missing a month ago.
All the people present were mothers.
Lauren hesitated for a moment before asking, “May I ask, where are your husbands?”
Yulia was the first to answer. “We divorced when I was pregnant with Lily.”
“When my baby was one year old, my husband passed away in a car accident.”
“My husband passed away three years ago because he was sick.”
The situation of the other women was similar. They all had one striking similarity, which was that their husbands were not around when their children went missing.
