Missing?
Mavis felt her vision go dark, stumbling back a step. "How could this happen?"
Nathaniel quickly put on his coat, steadying Mavis with an arm around her waist as he calmly asked Troy, "When did this happen?"
"About three hours ago," Troy replied.
Nathaniel frowned, anger simmering beneath his composed exterior. "How could it take hours for them to realize he was gone? What kind of security do we have?"
Troy explained with a pained expression, "Mr. Callum was playing hide-and-seek with the bodyguards at the hospital. He's so clever, always finding the best hiding spots. At first, they didn't worry, thinking he was just being playful as usual. But after three hours of searching without a trace, they feared something might have happened and came to report."
"Are you sure they searched thoroughly? Have they checked all the surveillance?" Nathaniel pressed.
"The bodyguards have combed the entire hospital and surrounding area without any leads. They're reviewing the surveillance footage now, but it'll take time."
Mavis' hands shook with nervousness, her eyes teary. "He's such a small child. Where could he have gone? Could one of the Nicholls family's enemies have targeted Callum?"
Before finding Callum, these were all just speculations, and no one could be certain.
Nathaniel tried to comfort her, "It might not be that serious. The little rascal has always been naughty. Remember when he faked a stomachache during his tutoring session and ended up falling asleep in the bathroom? Everyone searched for hours then too."
Mavis remained uneasy and countered, "But remember, he and Asher were kidnapped before. The kidnappers even threw him from a rooftop. He was hospitalized for trauma after that. What if this time…"

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
