Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162

Josephine grabbed Clara’s hand with her right hand, then pulled out her ID card from her bag with her left and slapped it into the staff member’s hand.

“I’ll take responsibility for the consequences. Finding the child is the priority.”

“Stop dawdling. If the child goes missing, I’ll sue your scenic area and you personally.”

Realizing he could get into trouble himself, the staff member panicked a little. “I’ll report to my supervisor right away.”

At that moment, a command came through the walkie–talkie: “Turn on all the lights. All staff, immediately search for any children around five or six years old nearby. Collect their photos and send them to your area supervisor. Move!”

In an instant, the entire scenic area was as bright as daylight.

Hundreds of drones hovered overhead, capturing every person and every shadowy event in sight…

Josephine was momentarily surprised.

Vexford Culture&Tourism was often criticized by locals for being unresponsive, with issues taking a year to be addressed.

But today, their efficiency had suddenly skyrocketed?!

Zachery’s phone kept receiving photos of children around five or six years old.

He swiped through the photos on the screen one by one, examining them carefully.

He realized he hadn’t heard Natalia’s voice for a while, so he called out, “Natalia?”

There was no response from Natalia, so Zachery looked down.

The space to his right was empty.

At some point, Natalia had disappeared as well.

Zachery’s heart suddenly clenched.

He looked around and saw a man and three small figures at the other end of Brookcross Bridge.

A little girl in a white outfit stood with her back to him.

The light stretched her figure long and thin, so frail that even a breeze seemed enough to make her silhouette waver.

Who else could it be but Natalia?!

Zachery turned off his phone and strode over.

As soon as his foot touched the first stone, he heard a little girl crying.

The cry was loud, sharp, and heart–wrenching.

That wasn’t Natalia’s voice–Natalia always cried in silence.

Zachery steadied himself and squinted to look closer.

It was Belinda who had fallen to the bottom of Brookcross Bridge, her foot stuck in a crack between the stones…

མ་

Josephine received a call from Zachery, saying Mia had been found at the other end of Brookcross Bridge.

She hung up, grabbed the distraught Clara, and ran toward Brookcross Bridge.

A crowd of tourists had gathered, pointing and whispering.

Josephine and Clara crossed Brookcross Bridge and squeezed into the crowd.

She never expected to see Helena holding Belinda and crying.

Helena’s long hair draped over her shoulders, tears sliding down her cheeks, looking utterly helpless.

“Where are the other doctors? Why aren’t they here yet?”

“Sweetheart, hold on a little longer, I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of you…”

Belinda’s sobs pierced the heart like a knife.

A tourist’s flashlight shone on Belinda.

Josephine recognized that Belinda was wrapped in Zachery’s black windbreaker.

Belinda’s leg was visibly bruised and bleeding, and her ankle seemed twisted out of place…

Josephine’s heart pounded with fear.

A sudden image flashed in her mind–her mother, body deformed by a collapsed beam.

She almost couldn’t stand, and Clara had to steady her.

Zachery tried to examine Belinda, but was once again forcefully stopped by Helena.

“Don’t pretend to be kind here. It was your daughter who did this to mine.”

As Helena pushed Zachery, her movement jostled Belinda, making her cry even harder, almost unable to catch her breath.

Zachery was rarely stern, but now his brows were deeply furrowed as he warned Helena, “Don’t move her again. She might have a fracture…”

Hearing the word “fracture,” Natalia kept saying to Belinda, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Josephine took several deep breaths to steady herself and walked over.

When Natalia saw Josephine, her eyes turned red and she called out in a flustered, panicked voice, “Mommy.”
