Chapter 307
William felt a surge of frustration the moment he heard those wotes. “What now?”
“Someone posing as a doctor got into the ward. They tried to kill Mrs. Lewis. Now they’re gone, and so is she. You’d better get over here right away.”
William froze to the spot as if he’d been struck by lightning. He could hardly believe what Arsen had just said.
Someone had tried to kill Rachel, and now she was missing?
He snapped back to his senses, roughly shoved the crowd aside, and sprinted toward his car. The reporters and bystanders behind him scrambled to keep up.
“Mr. Lewis! Mr. Lewis! Please explain what’s going on!“–
William didn’t say a word. He jumped in the car, fired up the engine, and slammed his foot on the pedal.
A few reporters surrounded the window and pounded on it.
“Mr. Lewis! Just give us a comment. Mr. Lewis!”
But the car bolted forward like a wild horse, leaving everyone behind.
When William reached the hospital, he burst into Rachel’s room, only to find it completely empty.
His expression darkened instantly. The veins on his neck bulged as he turned to Arsen and yelled, “Where is she?”
Arsen flinched under the weight of his glare. “I don’t know. By the time I got here, she was already gone. There were only some scattered syringes on the floor. The doctors took them to run tests.
“Check the security footage!” William roared.
Arsen looked even more shaken. “T–The cameras were disabled.”
William clenched his jaw so hard his teeth nearly cracked. His eyes were bloodshot. “You’re telling me someone vanished into thin air and you don’t have even a single lead?”
Arsen hung his head in shame. “Mr. Lewis, maybe we should call the police.”
William glared at him. “You want me to call the police? You think this mess isn’t big enough already?”
Arsen instantly went quiet. He was too afraid to speak again.
Rachel was missing, and no one knew if she was dead or alive. Their only option was to call the police. Without reporting it, if something happened, that would be a life on their hands.
Still, William refused to go public.
With the scandal still escalating online, if news of Rachel’s disappearance broke, it would blow everything sky–high.
William paced the room like a caged animal. He was frantic and overwhelmed.
Then a thought struck him.
“My mother. I told her to come stay with Rachel. Where is she?”
Arsen replied quickly, “I already notified her.”
Cassandra arrived shortly after with Samatha at her side. Cassandra seemed frazzled. “William, what’s going on? I heard Rachel’s missing. How could that happen?”
