Connor quickly passed Natalie a pen which she used to scribble down an address on the paper Silas gave her.

She then thanked the police profusely with tears in her eyes before hanging up the phone.

“I shall head over and bring Mr. Thompson back tomorrow morning, madam,” Silas said as he took the phone and paper back from her.

“No, I'll go with you!” Natalie said while wiping her tears.

Connor wanted to tag along as well, but Natalie didn't allow him to as it was dangerous for a kid this young to be in the countryside.

“But your wound has yet to heal completely, madam.” Silas was actually reluctant to bring her along, but Natalie was adamant about it.

“I want to go! As his wife, I have to go pick him up. Besides, I gave up on the competition and came all the way back here to find him, so I must go pick him up now that I've found him!”

Silas had nothing else to say in response to that.

She's right. All of our searches have been futile throughout the past few days, but we miraculously managed to find Mr. Thompson the day she returns to the country. It's obvious that she's the reason behind this miracle, so who am I to stop her from going with us?

“In that case, I'll go make the arrangements to bring some more men with us and pick you up tomorrow morning,” Silas said while adjusting his glasses.

Connor quickly passed Natalie a pen which she used to scribble down an address on the paper Silas gave her.

“Make sure to bring doctors too!” Natalie reminded him.

Silas chuckled. “Of course, madam. I shall excuse myself, now.”

Natalie nodded and had a housekeeper walk him to the door.

She then had the housekeeper give Connor a shower while she stared at the number for a whole minute before dialing it.

Silas said no one answered the phone when he tried calling it earlier. I wonder if someone will answer my call...
