Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 477

The car pulled into the neighbourhood, and I made a beeline for the management office. Brenda was

already there, pacing like a caged lion. And beside her, wrapped in a head bandage, was Helga!

She went pale as a ghost when she saw me and immediately burst into tears. “Miss, I'm so sorry, I... I

lost little Carl!”

I patted her back gently, trying to soothe her. “It's not your fault, Helga. Stop crying and tell me what

happened.”

Between sobs, Helga recounted the morning. “Little Carl woke up and wouldn’t stop calling for you.

After I fed him his breakfast and we waited by the front gate for you. Everything was fine until I saw a

car speeding towards us. Fearing for Carl's safety, I grabbed him to head back inside. That's when

someone came running up from behind. I barely had a chance to turn around before something hit me

on the head, and everything went black.”

Brenda cut in, her voice firm. “I've checked the security footage. It was a woman who took Carl away!”

I rushed over to the security staff and asked to see the footage again.

On the screen, Helga was holding Carl's hand, heading back inside, when a red car screeched to a halt

in front of them. The woman who got out was Zora, wielding something in her hand. She struck Helga,

who crumpled to the ground. Zora then scooped up Carl and disappeared into the car.

“Unbelievable,” the security guard cursed under his breath. “Nothing like this has ever happened in our

complex.”

As I watched the video, I saw Carl wrap his little arms tightly around Zora’s neck. My heart twisted Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

painfully at the sight.

Then I noticed Zora hadn’t driven herself; she’d gotten into the passenger seat. That meant there was

an accomplice, likely Maddox.

Rewinding the footage, we saw the car had entered the complex much earlier. “She planned this,”

Brenda said, “and I've already sent the video to Mr. Richardson.”

I nodded and called Ronan, who took a while to pick up. “Any news on the car?” I asked urgently.

“They left the complex and headed towards the outskirts of Goldenvale Town but haven’t left the city.

We're still searching,” Ronan replied.

“They’re making a move to leave Goldenvale Town with my son,” I said, panic edging my voice.

“Stay calm. We've set up roadblocks. Wait for my news,” Ronan advised.

Hanging up, I felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Helga, seeing my distress, was crying in a corner, filled with remorse and kept murmuring, “I should

never have taken Carl outside.”

Hannah tried to comfort me. “Allie, let's go home. Larkin and I will check around.”

Brenda nodded, and Larkin drove us back home before he and Hannah sped off to join the search.

Logan called me just then. “Allie!” he exclaimed.

“What?” Logan gasped, clearly unaware. “When did this happen?”

“A couple of hours ago,” I replied weakly. Reаd at Dramanovеls.com

“Alright, all you later!” Logan said, and the line went dead.
