Chapter 1019: Courage
"Stanny, I understand how you feel now, but you can't go on like this."
Victoria walked over and held Stanford's hand which was holding the mouse.
The mouse suddenly lost control.
Stanford frowned. "Mom, I'm busy. Don't waste my time."
Looking at Stanford's bloodshot eyes, Victoria's heart ached.
She choked with sobs and said in a solemn voice,
"Stanny, even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for your sister."
Stanford was stunned and stopped searching on the screen.
He frowned. "What's wrong with Florence?"
During this period of time, he had been searching for Phoebe all the time and had almost no time to pay attention to other things.
Having a very serious pregnancy reaction now, Florence could not have too many emotional fluctuations. Therefore, they kept the news of the disappearance of Phoebe from her.
It was even more inappropriate for him to contact Florence in case she found something wrong.
Victoria said in a low voice,
"Flory is now in the Turner family. Although she is temporarily safe because of Ernest's protection, but it is also based on that the Fraser family still exists. Now the Fraser family is in danger. If we fall, Theodore will have no scruples and the next person he would attack will be Flory."
"It was said that Theodore announced at the wedding that the child of Flory would be the heir."
"Collin has studied it. Flory was pregnant before Ernest taking the Yelo. The child may be a little different. Perhaps Theodore has known that the child will be the one who could open the treasure house."
"At that time, he will definitely get the child. Without the child, Flory will no longer valuable. At that time, she will be in real danger."
Stanford was shocked.
He and Collin escaped from the Turner's Mansion at the critical time, but they left Florence there. On the one hand, they knew that Ernest was there, and on the other, they were sure that Theodore would not kill Florence without 100% certainty.
But when the child was born, everything would be different.
Both Ernest and Florence would outgrow their usefulness.
If the Fraser family also declined, nothing could stop Theodore from doing harm to Ernest and Florence. Florence would definitely be in danger at that time.
If Theodore swallowed up the Fraser family, his power would increase greatly, and Ernest would find it difficult to resist him anymore.
Stanford's body tightened tightly, and he felt the smell of blood in his mouth.
He had failed to protect Phoebe. Would he let his beloved sister fall into such a dangerous situation too?
"Stanny."
Victoria gently pressed on Stanford's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Mom knows that it's very cruel to talk with you about it now. It's a hard time for you. But the Fraser family is in crisis now, we can't get through it without you."
"Even for Flory and Mom, you have to cheer up."
Stanford felt cold and stiff.
He knew Victoria was right. It was his responsibility to protect the Fraser family, his parents, and his sister.
But he couldn't leave Phoebe alone.
During this period of time, he could not sleep well. Once he fell asleep, he would dream that his Phoebe had been beaten to a pulp, lying miserably in blood and begging him to save her.
Every time he woke up with a start, he would suffocate as if he was going to die.
He could not do anything else but find her as soon as possible.
"Stanny, you know very well that what you're doing now was nothing but to numb yourself. Even if you spend 24 hours looking for Phoebe, it won't work much."
"You're forcing yourself not to stop searching for her. Only then will you get a little comfort in your heart."
"But you are Stanford, the God's favored one, the young master of the Fraser family. You shouldn't be so fragile and avoid it."
Victoria said in a deep voice, full of pity.
"You are the wisest and calmest person. You should calm down now and make the most reasonable arrangements. Stanny, I need you, and Phoebe needs you, and the Fraser family also needs you."
Stanford held the mouse so tightly that there was a dent in the excellent quality metal shell.
He had never been so pain and panic before. He felt it as if he had fallen from the cliff, but still pulling a rope desperately and wanted to climb up.
It seemed that only in this way could he support himself to survive.
However, Victoria was right. Phoebe needed him, and so did the Fraser family.
He could no longer escape because of fear, and ignored the Fraser family.
Stanford held the mouse tightly and finally released it after a long time.
He looked at Victoria and said,
"Mom, I know. I will start to deal with the matter of the Fraser family."
Victoria cried with relief and patted Stanford's shoulder several times.
"You are my son. Always the bravest."
He would support the world that belonged to him at the most critical moment.
He would also be brave enough to defeat the fear in his heart.
Victoria and the others also had been trying their best to find Phoebe. Even if the Fraser family was in danger now, they were still looking for her.
In fact, after giving all the orders, what they could do only was wait for the news.
And waiting was the most torturing thing.
Stanford couldn't stand it. If he stopped trying to find for a minute, he would feel as if he would die. That was why he made himself busy 24 hours and immersed himself in searching for Phoebe.
But in fact, it would draw him more painful and unable to extricate.
Moreover, it would also waste time on things that had no result.
But the Fraser family still needed him.
No one was as powerful as Stanford in the Fraser family, not even Alexander.
Now the situation of the Fraser family was critical and they could not lack Stanford.
Although this decision to awake Stanford was a little cruel, Victoria knew that it was the best choice for everyone. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
There had to be someone who was rational.
Stanford started to do the work of the Fraser family again, and soon was busy crazily.
At the same time, he did not forget to look for Phoebe. He completely calmed down and arranged the most effective way to continue to look for her.
He would know all the news about Phoebe as soon as possible.
Stanford went back on track again. Every day, he was as busy as a bee and did not take a rest at all.
He was more like a work machine, or a walking dead.
Only then the time he got some news about Phoebe occasionally did his eyes lit up with hope for a moment, but always, the light disappeared immediately with disappointment.
Time flew by.
Two months later, things finally changed.
They caught Juliette Fraser.
After all kinds of interrogation, he got a solid clue.
Juliette confessed that Braylee took Phoebe to the coast of Wales and imprison her somewhere.
