Come on Daddy!

Chapter 44 The child is lost

“We are going to have our meal, miss, bye bye.” Doris didn’t like the way the waitress was looking at Bright.

This was her handsome uncle and she doesn’t want to share him with anyone else.

The waitress could sense from her tone that they don’t want to be disturbed.

“Enjoy your meal, just call me if you need anything.” The waitress left unwillingly. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bright didn’t even take notice of her, it was as if she didn’t exist to him.

“Handsome Uncle, are you married?” Doris picks up the fork and got ready to eat.

“Why’s the matter?” His hands with a thin glove stopped and he looked at her suspiciously.

“Then do you like me? How much do you like me?” Doris asked again.

“Very much. So much that I would like to have a daughter like you.” He pondered and then answered.

“Since you like me so much, can you love me and those associated with me? I’ll introduce my mother to you. Although my mom is a single mother, she is extremely kind, lovely, and beautiful. She can cook very well and will certainly be able to take good care of you.” Doris started to recommend her mother and she was really concerned about her mother’s marriage, “She will be a very good wife.”

“I believe that your mother is an excellent lady but I am already married.” Bright endeavored to be tactful, he doesn’t want to hurt Doris’s feelings because, in the eyes of a little girl, her mom would be the best. “Your mother will definitely be able to find a husband who will love her as your father did.”

“Handsome uncle, it’s okay. You and my mother are not destined to be together.” Doris was very compassionate. “I wish you and your wife a beautiful and blissful life. Quickly give birth to beautiful and

cute baby like me!”

Bright smirked and nodded, “Let’s eat.”

He took the steamed shrimps, deshelled, and placed them on to Doris’s plate.

Kids should eat more fish and prawns as they are nutritious and good for brain development.

Doris quickly ate the prawns. Bright was very satisfied when he saw her eating obediently.

After the meal, Bright paid and was about to leave with Doris when he saw her scratching her arm.

When Doris noticed him approaching, she quickly placed her hands behind her back.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, let’s go.”

Bright didn’t believe her and bent down to look at her arm. Her snow-white skin had lots of red spots and looked like an allergic reaction.

“Are you allergic to something? What can’t you eat?” Bright realized that he was too careless and didn’t ask her before the meal. “It’s the prawns, isn’t it?”

Doris knew that she can’t hide it and nodded.

“My mistake, I was too careless.” Bright frowned.

“Uncle, don’t be so hard on yourself. I was greedy and forgot that I shouldn’t eat prawns.” Doris didn’t want Bright to be upset, “I love to eat prawns, I thought that I’ll be alright if I just ate a little, but it was so delicious and I couldn’t resist…”

“Uncle will take you to the hospital now.” Bright picked her up and left in a hurry with a face full of worry.

On the other end, Jane walked to the front desk and asked if Rose had checked in. Thereafter she contacted Rose but couldn’t find Doris.

“Doris said that she will wait for me here. I just went in for a short while… Rose, I’m sorry, it’s my mistake and lost Doris…” Jane was so anxious that she almost cried.

“It’s not your fault, I’m to blame as well. My phone ran out of battery.” Rose suppressed her anxiety and tried to console her best friend, “Let’s look for her, she must be somewhere nearby.”

“We had gone round so many times but still can’t find her.” Jane started to panic and was increasingly fearful, “Doris is so obedient, she couldn’t have run away by herself. Did someone take her away…”

Jane grabbed Rose’s hands in shock, “Rose, if Doris was to…”

“Hush, it won’t happen, Doris is so smart.” Rose interrupted Jane, in fact, her heart was extremely worried.

“Let make a police report. She is a kid and a person without capacity for civil conduct, I’m sure that the police would help.” Jane could only think of this option. They were not familiar with this place and they need all the help to look for Doris.

“Looks like that’s the only option.” Rose was extremely worried about Doris.

She was her only hope, she was her life!

Rose and Jane took a taxi to the nearest Police Station to make a police report. But they had to show cause that the child may be in danger or the child could be assaulted before a case can be filed.

But they didn’t have any evidence and it was not sufficient for them to just say so verbally.

Rose was flabbergasted. The police asked them for a video or picture or a voice recording. They realized that the security cameras at the hotel might show some clues to her disappearance.

They quickly returned to the hotel and informed the front desk and explained the situation to the manager who then agreed to let them view the security videos.

They went with the time period of the disappearance to search for the video. But because the location of Doris to the nearest camera was a distance away, they could only make out a tall man carrying her away.

At this moment, Rose’s breathing practically stopped. She felt her heart gripped tightly by a vice. She couldn’t control her tears and her nose ran.

Jane was equally horrified and lifted her hand to wipe the tears.

They downloaded the video and went back to the Police Station to make a report.

“Officers, when can we find her?” Rose and Jane filled in all the forms and asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, the time from disappearance is not too long. There is a good chance that we will be able to find her. We will work quickly.” The officers assured them. “Why don’t you go back to the hotel to rest and we will inform you when we have any news.”

Rose and Jane looked at each other, “We can’t rest even if we go back, we’ll wait here.”

“When the kid is found she will need you to care for her. Now you should take care of yourselves.” The police officer said.

Rose and Jane agreed. They can’t collapse in fatigue, otherwise who will take care of Doris.

They returned to the hotel thereafter. Jane looked at Rose and felt extremely guilty about the situation. “Rose, I’m truly sorry.”

“Jane, I should be the one apologizing. I’m not a good mother and didn’t carry out my duty as a mother. I kept asking you to look after Doris, I’m sorry…”

The usually strong Rose started to tear and Jane couldn’t resist and hug Rose. Both of them started to cry inconsolably.
