"No, not yet."
Dilbert Walker said despondently, "Mr. Lindsey decided not to continue the search, he's going back home to accompany Ella in a moment."
"Oh, okay then."
She hung up the phone.
Tercy Mason held Ella Lacey's hand, saying, "Mr. Lindsey will be home soon."
Ella Lacey's frantic heart found a bit of solace at that moment.
Less than ten minutes later.
Arthur Lindsey hurried back as fast as lightning.
Ella Lacey threw herself on him, clinging to him and asked, "Arthur, is there any news about Clarissa? I miss her so much... Wuu wuu..."
"No."
Arthur Lindsey stroked the back of her head with a grim expression, declaring, "We'll wait at home until they contact us."
"They... who are they?" Ella Lacey had a feeling that Arthur knew who had taken Clarissa.
"This must have something to do with our eldest daughter," Arthur Lindsey had already worked out the course of events and stated with certainty.
Ella Lacey caught on with just a hint.
